i want to put some history of my cars that i've owned in the US. Let me first start out with the first one considering this is only a car cause the first car that i've bought the last time was a wrecked eagle talon tsi ( 4wd turbo) but its in pieces so i sold that off and bought this one to cure my craze for drifting.
A silvia S14 , the car is a bit heavy with the wide wheel base it is not so much of a sports car with reaction time slower than what a sports car should be thus makes this an ideal sliding car cause you can just flick the tail and go in a drift with just clutch kicking or e-braking techniques which is amateur techniques used in the world of drifting.
Different than the S14 back in asia , this is actually equipped with a truck engine which is coded KA24DE , 2.4 liter 165hp and gobs of torque to break the rear end anytime you want it to be. Sadly one one fine night i crashed into my buddy's blue civic si in a rain while trying to do a choku dori. Seeing the expense to repair body damage is so high because of the labor invovled , i just sold it off for cheaps to another fellow malaysian who doesn't even race.
My next car i bought was a Mazda RX7 turbo.....this is a baby and real fun thing to work on and to drive on. but more on this later as it will take up several post since i have more history to share with this baby than the s14.
