My good mate Okibi put me onto this place, and it's good to see a little corner of the intraweb dedicated to JDM Roadsters

My car started out as what we call a "drift pig" over here:

But after a hard fought season of drift competitions, I decided to retire her, and she was pretty much completely rebuilt and now is enjoying a pampered existence as a daily driver and the occasional cruise to local JDM car meets

I'm looking forward to meeting more of you guys via the forum

Nope.....car wouldn't be that shiny if I did Drift comps over here are pretty unforgiving because it's all twin drift.

This Aussie MX-5 was built for drift.

The car was only in the country for design rule testing, so once it's time ran out they took the shell (including cage) to the wrecker to be cubed

Very cool. What were those white wheels you ran on the back when drifting? Car is very sharp and I like the tandem.

Thanks The white wheels are old Enkeis. Not sure of the model name, but they were the gravel rally wheel I think at one point.

Here's a slightly better angle. You can see that most of the paint was chipped off from its rally days on a 80's Civic.
