Drifter is already battle scarred - show us your battle scars
Only had it a day and me and mate went for a couple of skids last night in a very quite local industrial estate.
I was being very tentative as didnt want to crash it seeing as my mate is using it everyday but spun it on a roundabout.
Ended up letting mate have a go and he smoked the roundabout out and he carried on drifting, next he came to a bend and started to drift it but it snapped the other way...straight into a fucking wall
oh well im so glad im not the first one to bend it as we both own it and i would never hear the end of it.
Fucking 24 hours after we picked it up - dented
luckily damage was not too bad just a small dent on rear qtr, dent under rear tail light and scuffs on the rear n/s bumper.
So who else has done similar in a similar time frame?
No pics as of yet but will try and get some soon.
Got a few good pics of battle scars on my last cossie after a discussion with the tyre wall at coombe in 2006 - will try and find them

get the interior stripped out the pal and sell it on 
exhaust and induction kit always helps with the power
on some beemers you can change the diff to one with a different ratio to help acceleration, maybe you could have a look into this.....

the guy on driftworks has a point about not making them not look like show cars, they do look sooooo good like that 
do mx5's get fround upon for drifting/tracking with no roofs? or are they ok and with a cage it just makes them better?

the problem i had with my saff was a little bit of fear that i would prang it,take that away and the fun realy begins!
i bought this with the thought that if i boomed it ,it wouldn't be the end of the world.
bashed in the rear quarter good and proper last year ,bashed it back out and kept going.
the beauty of a dedicated drift car!...

Jubilee clips/cable ties are your friend. Just cut the springs then ust them to attach them to the top mount(front)/ trailing arm(back). I know people who drift regulary with anything holding them on and they've never dislocated but i'd do it for peace of mind.
