its great to hear all of this information very helpful,

i was wondering if AutoConnexion had a site or anything, id like to check out there stuff.

And as another question, how did you get the sponsers? or join with rotera? I mean gushi for his age is very good, but how did he join the team or get to compete like you. Id like to do this someday, maybe go pro, or just to compete and have fun, but sponsers are inprotant, and was wondering how easy is it to come upon a sponser.

Im not Fixmer.. or a pro however... All of the guys who are pro drifters in america right now are basicly guys who showed up at the D1 driver search or similar events and did well. Companys saw them and aproched them no doubt some of them were known in other areas of racing, most werent.

Yep comfort is everything. No Team Rotora is not all changing to RHD format. Yes it is an original 180sx straight from Japan. It came from a shop over here called AutoConnexion. A guy named David Ogamoto who imports RHD cars. He currently has an S15 for sale. I do think converting a LHD to a RHD is kind of ridiculous. It weekens the overall chassis when the firewall is cut to do the RHD conversion. It is not worth the time and effort to do a LHD to RHD conversion when you can just go to a place and buy the real thing.

So that's where the 180 went. Every once and a while i stop by AutoConnexion. Hes got a clean toyota chaser right now. He has a white S15 and a whole lot of other cool cars.

I think david has gotten tired of seeing me around. I ask to many questions and hates its when I don't buy anything lol!

What is the average price of those RHD vehicles offered by Autoconnexion and are they for off public road use only..?

[emission]

Thier for Off road use only. I'm not sure but many of you remember me posting picture of the tommy kira s13, and the bomex s13 autoconxion had for sale they where going for 12,000 and had about 400 to 500 hp on the sr20s.

Trust me,most of us are well aware of Ernie and his track record.From Team Murder to Okinawa to him being the number one prospect out of the American drivers for the 2003 D1 Grand Prix

He said that about Ernie prior to that interview.
