Well, I'm not going to lie, I like to watch the first FAF and sometimes the tokyo drift just for the entertainment every now and then. Am I going to run out after the movie buy a whole bunch of moteg exhust parts, 20 bottles of NOS and borrow my japanese buddies evo to learn to drift in? No.. well... if I had a japanese buddy and he let me learn to drift in his evo... yeah... I'd do that... but no to the rest.

As terrible as those movies are from a technical standpoint you can't help but love them. I am seriously pumped for #4. And yeah, why the hell is Tokyo Drift on tv every weekend?!?

i already posted the best method for shifting in another thread

so ill quote it here

if you find you are getting a lot of wheel spin when launching like this, you need to warm up the tires more... for a FWD car the best way to do this is to put it in reverse, cut the wheel all the way to the right or left, stomp on the throttle using the same rev limiter 10 count that you want to use for the launch, then dump the clutch and count 10 full revolutions of the car, when finished turn the wheel the other way and repeat the process... after this your tires will be properly warmed up and you should get a sweet launch
if you are still spinning a lot on the launch you may need a wider and softer tire

Ok, so I went out to benchmark my car after reading that tech article above. I guess I must be using the wrong tires because they don't seem to be getting hot enough to grab. So I decided that I'd just have to work with what I have until I get my new Z-rated so I went out to try some high performance driving. 1st gear, textbook launch using the method described (tires still not reaching traction temp) revved all the way to redline and let her hold there (is that how you "boost"?) Then I slammed into 2nd gear, the grinding indicates that you found the next gear you should add that to your tech article. So then I was ripping in 2nd gear finally tires started to grab some pavement I realized if you skil 3rd gear go to 4th gear youll get to top speed faster right?! so WOT, 10 sec count at the rev limit then slam into 4th. I think I ran out of boost after that because all this smoke started coming out from my hood I think I was probably running rich because i have the dsm injectors so when I turbo ill be ready. btw whats a good turbo for a d15 i was going to order a kit off ebay
