driftxtreem, you said something about tailights for the 180sx, s13,14, and 15. funny thing about that is, when i was at drift day 5 with my 240sx, i was approached by a man asking me about my 240. "what do you have done to it?" i told him. "what parts would you like to see on the market?" he explained he had just purchased his own 240 and was building it up and wanted to know what is out there and what isnt. then, for some reason he came clean and told me he was some head honcho for marketing at APC and they were going to start making parts for drifting. i started laughing on the spot. he asked why i was laughing. i said well, do you see anything from APC on any cars here? what makes you think they will buy anything if you make drift parts? and i gurantee you, and im just being honest here, that if you make euro-tails or altezzas or whatever you guys call them these days for a 240sx or ae86... all these people here? (i pointed to the entire east lot at irwindale) they will be absolutely PI55ED. he answered "oh no, no we are trying to shake that image of being a rice company." yeah i bet.
then they put srobes and sh!t on ueo's ae86. and just about every other car that night at D1 USA. im real convinced this guy was lying his a55 off well, shinchu is not convinced. like crazyhawaiian said, other companies can surely make stuff happen like signal did. so did falken. apc is not THE authoritve figure for drifting in USA. i will definately support gabriel tyler and the rest of his staff at techno toy tuning and other companies like them (battleversion is another). i think APC helped get drifting poular in the US, but maybe in the wrong way. quite simply, drifting is to APC what whores are to pimps.
and i swear if i find that buisness card Mr. APC Marketing guy gave me, i would like to call him and remind him not to make any stupid tailights for the ae86 or any s chassis nissans. or anything else besides hondas for that matter. im sure some FC owners would get sick to thier stomachs to see apc tailights on thier cars. alright im going to quit b!tching. i think drifting is going to end up like the muscle car crowd. some like mustangs, some like chevy, and some like mopar. may god have mercy on the souls of those who like mopar and apc. (lol) and weapon x was reading my mind when he made his last post.

People realize that and don't feel like watching their passion go down the $hitter.
