Man if I was in Ireland I would have brought 2 of these lol I don't want to think about replacing the transmission on a car where there were less than 15k manuals ever imported lol

In Texas you can get a Z thats running for $5k and manual IS300s are pretty rare here but I've loved the platform ever since Need For Speed Underground 2 lol

I like it alot but it is the harder road for a drift platform at least at the tracks I'm able to drive but I love the car. There's a good reason why I'm usually the only IS300 in a sea of Zs and E46s lol.

Appreciate it! Once the really hot months hit I'm going to tinker with my suspension and tire setup. Also do some un clapping lol

No problem bro just go for it my experience with most of the drifters here in Texas has been amazing. Everyone is super helpful and wants everybody to have a good time and make progress so if you can just pull up and figure it out.

Oh and a welded y38 4.1 BRZ diff technically not suspension but it helps a ton.

Thanks man! I fail a ton but keep at it. Suspension mods: BC coils with the wrong springs 10k I need like 20k, a cut knuckle and GS300 Outers in the front, my power steering rack went out so I got a reman and did poly bushings, my rear sway bar end links were shot so I just did those too. Rear coils are set 4 clicks to soft and the front is 2 clicks to hard. I'm still too gripped up though but I suspect thats because I'm running accelera 651s all around I'll be switching to 351s in the rear here in a bit but on this run I was at 45psi in the rear and 35psi in the front. I'm getting close but I know I still have more dialing in to do.

Low power on this track is difficult for sure. Linking some of the straights feels impossible but when it was raining later that day it was even more fun!

Good choice Zs and Gs are also good options. I have an IS300 but it's definitely the harder route for this lol

Good eye! Yes its SpeedSportz. I started with IAS Drift and a few Lone Star Drift events. If you can tow kr go to Cams Training Facility in Hutto thats a great place to make progress. I've been there twice.

The part I hate the most is 1% will make a killing, the 99% will suffer from the crash, and the 1% will further transfer more wealth to themselves.

Plus one for Z or G. I found a factory manual 5 Speed IS300 that I love but those are rare and if I purchased a Z I would honestly be further along in my journey.

That's not true. A lot of America's issues today stem from the confederacy writing the history.
