Re: drifting
Thats how I feel about Honda's sometimes.
I build them because they can be built cheap, easy to build and pretty fun to drive in my opinion. What I hate is the bad name you get and the attention you get because of all the kids wanting one because everyone is doing it.
I also have a 240 being built but not for drift. I can't wait to see how many kids say man you have a awesome drift car.
What I need to do is stop building cheap cars and buy something different. But then I like spending more money on the house, so cheap cars it is atleast for now.

The following stereotypes most people think off are:
Toyota = suppaa ....because having a 800hp supra still gets you in the low 11's
Honda = ricer....will race anything from light to light..WOOT!!!
Nissan = drifter....cause every turn was made for drifting...what you didnt know?
Mazda = Dyno/show queens.....unreliable and expensive as fuck....pufff!!!
Domestics = straight line....take your badass $8k trailor, naughtyice, and mullet to the strip.
Back on track thought. A 240 does make for a nice cheap drift car. If you really want to get into this sport do it right and build your car to your specs. The original engines in 240's are more than capable for a beginner to handle. All your money should be spent on suspension and maintenance. Once you feel comfortable then you can opt for boost or do a v8 swap.
