Nope no special chassis though there are dedicated drift chassis with front mounted motors etc... Basically a 4wd touring car a powerful motor, I run a 10t brushless setup, and drift tyres which are basically just hard plastic... That will make you drift... Something you can adjust all the camber and caster etc on is a massive help, then good shocks and soft springs... Good weight balance especially if you run lipo batteries and a fast steering servo helps... Other than that nothing else. You can go more in depth and run a counter steer setup like I do when you over drive the rear wheels so they spin faster than the fronts but nothing that's needed...
On sat I'm going to low brain drifters garage to drive it in a comp rc drifting has taken off pretty big over here, Japan has been going crazy on it for years and driftworks have really kicked it off here driftworks hq has a permanent drift rc track now

I Love that splitter!
Front end looks so much better with the '99 bumper IMO, nice one.

Not bad mate (I was expecting more), what condition is the bodywork in?
Too much stress on the old drivetrain then huh?
Dunno tbh gaz, think I might just need to bleed the clutch slave... All of a sudden clutch bite is as the bottom, peddle feels weird to press and it's hard getting it in and out of gear.... So gonna have a look later and bleed it, see where I'm at then.
Worth a shot, especially as it costs nothing!
After the issues getting gear found out it was my clutch release fork that had snapped so stuck a new box on, much better now
Since then I got a das6 pro and the sonus menz kit...
Spent a couple of days between showers doing it...

Yeah it's moulded into the bumper Luke.
As gaz said its moulded in to the bumper... Thought about removing it but it just looks weird when smooth like its got a fat lip lol, so I kept it... In person it works, my car looks so weird in pictures compared to real life lol, I'm happy with it at the moment, saving for a house so it's kind of stopped as to things to do to it, will be sticking some more wheels on at some point I think... Want 18's but house comes first unless something pops up that I have to have lol
99 spec is painted
Is that outside the place where we went to look at that RX7 years and years ago?

You finally took some half decent photos, looks really good mate.
No mate that place got done for drug trafficking lol!
All pics were on iphone lol will take some better ones when weather is better
I'm afraid she's right. Cubes are like the Scions, people buy them because they're quirky weird things, and they think that's cool.
They really aren't. Can't blame you, I drove my mate's 14a this weekend, made me want mine back.

the thing is, they really actually are....
and they are a pleasure to drive, very relaxed and comfortable
Was speaking to a guy at a import centre, his wife's car needed some work on it, she was driving a s15... So he gave her a cube for a couple days.... She kicked up a fuss as she said it was a ugly s**t car... She had it 2 days, the s15 came back, and she refused to give up the cube, they sold the s15 lol
That's a woman for you. I think you'd regret going from the power you have now, to a measly shoebox.
And they're still f**king ugly!

Oh I wouldn't sell the Rex for one lol, if I ever have kids wouldn't mind one as a kid transporter lol!!!
To be honest I don't know what I would change to, thinking m3/5 want something bigger with more comfort... And something I don't pile as much cash in to, I know I will miss it, but I'm starting to resent spending money on it, other option is to stick it in storage for a couple years then come back to it lol....
My misses can get me some amazing deals on lease cars through her work...

M5, seeing as half of CS owns an M3 for a start.
Depends if you'd miss it. I don't think I'd miss mine, but there's no S Bodies I like for sale ATM, and my other options aren't really feasible so I don't know what I'll do regards selling or keeping.
