Just need somewhere to practice without being busted

Worth renting out some space for a few hours? I'm sure Leon must know some useful places no? I'd certainly go for a trashing once the tyres are nearly ready to be replaced. I id that with the mx5 - I did a few track days and courses too - but to be honest I learnt more when I just tried it, I'm not drift king or anything like that, but I could chuck it around with a lot of confidence, so I could worry about more important things like observation, calculating the corner etc...

Anyway as long as you're confident enough then that's all that counts, I just want to be sure you're REALLY confident so you can REALLY enjoy your car

That looks cracking. The 200sx's are really up there in my fav cars. Along with the 300. I do wish they made that more sporting rather than a cruiser.

They do offer such bang for buck and as you are probably aware, you can bump up the bhp very easily.

Looking good Kate!

We de tangoed the blue car and Sakura but the orange doesn't look that bad on the red ones so they are left for now. It's amazing the difference it makes though.

big difference for such a same change.

I'd really recommend getting some proper training rather than just arsing around. I did a day at Carlimits in my Elise and while it was a tad expensive at £180 for the day it was the best mod that I could have done to the car/driver combo.
