I have a question, if you register for the Drift event does that mean you also have to register for the all-Nissan Meet? Thanks

mav1178 · 10-30-2003, 11:36 PM

Nope. One or the other.

Am I drifting? I hope so, that's what I signed up to do. I'm broke like a joke, but I managed to come up with the funds. My S14 is in the air right now, I managed to f**k s**t up last week. But I should be good to go before you get back. We hittin' up the canyons right?

*Sil-Abc* · 11-04-2003, 11:57 PM

i just wanna scream like a girl!....but i gotta find a helmet

do i have to sign a waiver or anything cuz im 17

s13chica · 11-05-2003, 12:29 AM

Yay sil-abc!!!! Glad to hear that you finally registered yourself in an event...you're going to have so much fun. If I decide that I'm not going to be driving I might be able to find you a helmet to borrow...but it's really a good idea just to invest in one so that you can have it for future events.

Either was I'll see you down there....

ootranceformeroo · 11-05-2003, 12:45 AM

eh...Ill probaly be there...but might not drive. Since I'll be down that way with family I might decide to take my car up there for the Nissans Owners Festival part of it...no dd10 for me...

nokeone · 11-05-2003, 12:59 AM

well looks like i may be showing up after all..lol..not driving though..i'll put my car in the show..haha..that'll be good for a laugh...

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-05-2003, 10:41 AM

Yah Fo Sho Ken-Dogg...*as long as your leading so i know what NOT to do when you fly off the road*

But yah I was thinking of registering for the drift clinic but...eh no way in hell i can pull it off. I got tire/wheel issues, dont think id wanna drift my 18"s and I dont have another set of wheels to beat on. Times like these I wish my stockies werent in Florida.

Plus the whole if something breaks in my car den im fuked kinda pops in mind too.

dvdevo · 11-05-2003, 01:57 PM

hrmm i hope its fun for people that's not donna drive

stretch240sx · 11-05-2003, 09:14 PM

anyone think i can get away with going on and driftin and going home all on the same tires??? and what tires wear more when you drift front or back?? cuase my front ones are a weeee bit wore out

*Sil-Abc* · 11-05-2003, 10:36 PM

can someone help me out to find the right helmet cuz i found some like a HJC CL-14 but thats a motorcycle helmet. How do u kno which helmet can be used in the event? like i it has to be SA95 or MA95 and higher but how do u kno if its higher?

stretch240sx · 11-05-2003, 10:41 PM

you should be able to get away with most good motorcycle helmets...

*Sil-Abc* · 11-05-2003, 10:42 PM

but my friend said that motorcycles helmets couldnt be used such as the HJC's

holisticbeatz · 11-06-2003, 01:07 AM

Helmets must be DOT or Snell95 or above. Most motorcycle helmets exceed DOT and Snell specifications. The thing is, motorcycle helmets are specifically designed to absorb more severe impacts. However, helmets for cars don't have to meet such stringent specifications.

Motorcycle helmets are only designed to take one hard impact before needing to be replaced. The styrofoam inside gets compressed and is no longer good. Car helmets are designed to take more beatings, such as your head bouncing around against a cage and everything else inside a car.

neevosh · 11-06-2003, 01:41 AM

Oh, and if you're planning on getting serious about tracking your car, you might just want to buy a car helmet rated SA2000, since you're buying a helmet anyways. Some event organizers won't let you use a motorcycle helmet. You'll be fine for drift days with an MA95 helmet, but might as well plan ahead and not buy 2 helmets.

stretch240sx · 11-06-2003, 01:47 AM

im just gonna use my old shoee or my dads...

*Sil-Abc* · 11-06-2003, 01:08 PM

im still sketchy about it cuz the one i checked out said Snell Approved and "DOT" on the back of the helmet. Inside said m2000

*Sil-Abc* · 11-06-2003, 01:10 PM

im still sketchy about it cuz the one i checked out said Snell Approved and "DOT" on the back of the helmet. Inside said m2000 but i wasnt sure if thats still alright. What does the A in MA or SA stand for?

nokeone · 11-06-2003, 01:20 PM

the A..hmmm...dunno..lol..

but in general

MA = Motorcycle

SA = Automobile

M = should be Motorcycle too but older (unsure)

anything (SA/M/MA) above 95 is good..SA above 2000 is accepted EVERYWHERE..

*Sil-Abc* · 11-06-2003, 02:45 PM

so M2000 is allowed in DD10 then?

nokeone · 11-06-2003, 02:48 PM

yes...they are not OVERLY strict about helmets from past experiences...and M2000 is perfectly safe..

*Sil-Abc* · 11-06-2003, 02:53 PM

O COOL THANKS NOKEONE!
