Toyo R1R 235/40/17 for the front.  I hope these work well!

The 215/40/17 Azenis i used were shitty…

Yeah, I’m super lazy and busy with school.  Ill try to make it simple and quick.

Rewired the whole car and installed my gauges as well as new steering knuckles  (different design) as well as outer tie rods. All this meant super procrastination for a drift event.  It was ridiculous.

After the rewire:

Raise the car, thinking it would handle better (not that it handled bad before, it was really awesome before), and got my first alignment.  It handled like shit BECAUSE of the major loss of front camber. The alignment itself was awesome.  Also had a huge tire problem in front.  I bought some used azenis, and they sucked for various reasons.

I drove like shit that day, i think because the car sucked.  No front camber, shitty front tires, shitty rear tires.  That all adds up to a really sloppy car.  And I try to drive hard.  Eventually I tapped the barrels really hard and it made my whole car rotate and made me crash head on into the barrels.  So the ass and the front of my car is fairly beat.

Later that day i broke my windshield like a noob (hoodpins…).
Continued drifting, or TRIED at least.  Like a boss.

Working on making it drive like a boss already.  Alot more soon to come I hope!

It was nice seeing seeing old faces.

Drift Union Logan doing it like a boss! Check them out, they are crazy!

I miss drifting…  Need more money!

In homage to AE86′s Corollas, I decided to work on my recently acquired Corolla.

Jdawg and I pitched in together to get it.  Its pretty awesome.  Kouki everything on a Zenki chassis!

I had a few really nice LED’s laying around so i put them in the gauge cluster.

I have a super fresh BT 20V motor to drop into it already! Maybe a post on that later.

It was stupid hot.  I need to work on my cooling system, my cheap ebay fans arent cutting it.
