Meet REIKO IGE from Team Drifting Pretty

[Reiko Ige]

"Series 5, Turbo 2" (or "S5 TII") is the easier way for saying the '89-'91 RX7 FC3S, Turbo II model. S4 were the production years of '86-'88, and S6 refers to '93-'95, the FD3S. This was the high performance edition of the RX7 for those production years. "Shell", if you didn't already know, just refers to car with no motor. I'm pretty sure you already know that, but I explained it for anyone that may not be "car literate".

I hope to be debuting my own newly built S5 TII at DD24, and maybe at DDC4 as well. It's my first time drifting after a very long hiatus. My FD gave up, so onto a new vehicle!

Good luck and Happy Motoring!

thx piston for hosting the images, theres my ride, reiko 1st pic my initial d money shot. lol, 2nd pic is my garage and most recent pic if you notice the rear a lil crushed from the accident and with stock wheels, and 3rd. thats my rear shot of my prime

[Reiko Ige]

i like both set of wheels! i need another set of wheels. if i see you around town, ill make sure to honk your way! heehee. thanks for posting the pictures of your car. i cant see the where your car got "crushed." the initialD pic is hot! haha! what size tires are you on?

[nasty nate 7]

Work Equips 17 x 8 front 225 tires 17 x 9 rear 245 (i like the traction feel) but for my next set of tires i might go softer(215 front and 225 in rear). for my stock ones, they are 16 x 7s which is very good for stock all around and i used 215s. my next tires will be either trying out the dunlop direzzas or the bridgestone re50s. i would use azenis but its rainy season rite now, they are shitty in the rain.

Whew, haven't checked this thread in a while. Thanks for the info Reiko

**Edit:

i think the hardest thing i had to get use to was the SR motor. although i have a stock turbo, it was hard to gt use to. im use to flooring the gas with my stock KA S14. so, i really needed to practice throttle control.

I tell ya, you learn throttle control real quick whilst sliding around on snow. Gives a new meaning to oversteer. I believe the sensation is somewhat similar to the characteristics of 400+ hp cars. Although I've never driven something with that kind of power so I really don't know.

omg! i cant even imagine drifting a 400 hp car! i can barely handle my 200+ hp car. Heehee. did you grow up in the snow? did you learn to drift in the snow?!!

[Buddyworm]

Yup, I live in Alberta. Craziest weather ever, a week or two ago the snow was melting and was almost gone. Then it started snowing again and it's been going at it for 2 days straight now. And it's the end of March!

Snow's great for practice. The speeds are lower (obviously) but the car is more prone to spin outs. Still, it's quite fun being able to hold a massive drift around a loooooooong high speed sweeper in an underpowered car. Only instead of clouds of smoke you get clouds of snow

i wasnt sure if you moved to canada or if you grew up there...thats why i asked. wow! i go crazy when it rains! i dont know if i can handle the snow! but, i would like to try drifting in the snow. it must be hard getting out of the house. humm...clouds of snow! what a nice picture to imagine! do you have any pictures to share of that?! ive yet to see smokes of snow! heehee!

[Buddyworm]

Well, I think my friend and I might be heading out sometime tonight so we'll see if i can snap some pictures.
