Not been to Norfolk arena, have heard good things about it though. I have been to DWYB at pod. 99% of the people there are laid back, friendly people that wont mind giving you some advice if your learning. Pod has practice pens for donuts, and figure of 8's, a kidney shape small track, and a EDC '08 (i think?) track. just get yourself along, im no expert but its a great place to learn and meet new people.

Also look here for how to prepare your car for drifting.

Hey, bit of a newb here! I recently purchased a Uk spec S14a with what the previous owner told me was a shimmed diff! Had a quick search on them and there seedms to be a lot of guys running them, but is there anyway of checkin quickly of it actually having this setup?? Or have any of you guys any advice on which aftermarket set up option i should go for? Daily drivings a bit of a pain atm !!! cheers in advance
 
What would be a good starter car? currently I have a broken unreliable Nissan Altima, and after I fix it I want to get a job so I can get something RWD. preferably not anything Nissan, not for a while. (My car has a KA24DE in it, it is stock but it still sucks) But I can't decide which is better. AE86 or MX-5? personally I hate the MX-5 but I can't find any Corolla's anywhere.
 
Im new to :dw: and rwd driving. Recently bought a 318is, under powered but still fun to drive. Any one know what i can do cheaply for decent power increase? Also what is the driveability when a diff is welded for daily use?

Regards

Nathan
