datzenmike Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I think you're smokin' somethin' and it ain't your tires.:D Quote Link to comment
jrbd10 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 soo u wouldnt suggest that? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Just kiddin'. To drift you need an abundance of power don't you? And an LSD. Solid rear axle? Sway bar. Just don't tear up that fine 710, alright? Quote Link to comment
jrbd10 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 i just wanna see what i can with it. i know i love the car too but still imagine a 710 drifting lol funny...well i know ima take it to traks and stuff and race for fun...it was just another werid idea Quote Link to comment

datsunon40s Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 it wouldnt hurt but I just ran 80 psi in my rear tires welded the rear end and put in a good clutch :lol: Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Keep in mind the availabilty of body panels. Are you going to be able to find a fender or 1/4 panel when you put it in a ditch? because you will. But If it's just a beater, cut the springs and weld the diff. see how you like it, then save your pennies for a LSD and some coilovers EDIT: Just read that you are 16 and still in High School. Be smart, be prepared. you will wreck yo shit Quote Link to comment

Be smart, be prepared. you will wreck yo shit kiznook, my thoughts exactly. You have a 710, not a 510, so body panels are as rare as they can get. I have seen a handful of 710s while junkyarding. A lot rarer than my 610, for darned sure. And, your 710 is gorgeous, why do something like drift it? Quote Link to comment
fiveNdime Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I would say do it but be smart and not put your car in a position to get messed up. Like a large intersection or corner or parking lot with no traffic or at least traffic thats not going to come in contact if you screw up. If you practice and get good with it then do the closer risky stuff. Quote Link to comment

I was thinking more along the lines of; it's not a corolla or 240sx. I wouldn't recommend using a nice 510 for sliding either Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 like i said i still have the original one and it looks good and its in japanese and i like the fact that i cant read it! Is it the famous "Elephant" oil cap? I have the same one. It's more nostalgic, but I do have others, just in case I decide to change it. Quote Link to comment
