Hey, here are some pics of me at my first drift event. Nothing major, just a small thing after a local auto-x. There was just me, a supercharged miata, sr20det powered 240sx, subaru sti, and a couple old camaros. It was pretty fun but i need some more power.



mods: rebuilt motor w/ 13k on the clock, custim headder and exhaust, free to me hks foam air filter, e-fan, tien springs and kyb agx shocks, and front strut brace. Still have an open diff but some really bald tires at 60psi helped that problem.



I also killed the tranny that day on my last run, broke the 1st/2nd gear shift fork.

You rock! I never see rotaries drifting! I am trying to get into it myself but everything costs money and I don’t want to put that much stress on my car. Sorry about your tranny Hope you can get it repaired and get back out on the track! Keep us posted!

the auto-x club here is actually pretty cool about drifting, it was only $10 for quite a bit of track time, and we got to make our own layout on it. as for the tranny i have another one to go in but i havnt had the time with work and my other project, an 84 toyota 4wd i want running before it snows. and the suspension isnt quite stock, i have tien s-tech springs and kyb agx struts, i have a couple pics of it almost lifting a tire when it was stock.

tranny doesnt take very long at all, maybe an hour or so.

car on jackstands, jack under tranny, unbolt it, wrestle it down.

jack new one up, wrestle it in, bolt it down.

hardest part is getting the input shaft to align and go in.
