who is drifting with a blue Z in UK???
I was at that drift day at lyyd in kent i spoke to the guy in the blue zed .In the morning he was doing realy well car drifted well in the afternoon he had engine problems .I know this guy had a hard time on the board about striping a show car down for a drift event, but you have to give it to this guy for using a zed theres too many s body cars out there .It looks like a good set up d2 coilovers /D2 hydralic handbrake /bucket seats /still using the viscous lsd /I think a machincal lsd will make a big diffrence .It sounded vey nice as well .We need more zeds drifting being driven, not being tarted up for shows .
