I've been to a few this year, all of them without my car though for one reason or another. A couple of my friends starter/are in SlideNY who drift with all of the Drift Hustle guys.

Thanks!!!!

Actually one of my favourite cars. Big fan of '80s style.

Thanks, I love your EF! I'd love a K swapped EF someday.

Love it! Did you make it to the Bear Mountain meet this year?

Unfortunately I didn't, I put the car away in August because I go to school in NYC. Won't have it out til May.

Lol november 6th? I was there everyyy wednesday in June/July/August but this car has been in storage since August 28th or so and I go to school in NYC so I haven't been to LVD since then haha. I know all the regulars at LVD, are you a regular?

Thanks man. It's only been 70 days since I put it away for the winter and it feels like a lifetime . Still got about 150 days to got

Here is a photoshop my friend did of how the car will look lowered a little in the rear and an inch or two in the front:

So sick man, awesome progress. Can't wait to see future updates.

How hard is engine maintenance and work on these cars?

Not toooo bad, once you take the intercooler off (2 hose clamps, obviously), it's pretty much like working on a tight front engine/FWD setup. Getting to any of the pulleys requires the dropping of the motor, though.

By the way, I put the car in storage until April or May this afternoon, here are two pics that my friend snapped last week, never did get a proper photoshoot of the eeeeeeeMR2 this year, 2011 will bring more excitement:





Over the winter I am going to put 1" wider barrels on the front two wheels for moar stretch and moar low

After dialing in my coils, little to nothing will be done to the car until I can make her look like this (K20 swap):
