yea thats what i did. but id recomend bringing alittle more money and getting the drift kit for gen1(it fits evo's) as soon as I got that, I went from little corner turns that look like little drifts to long cornered full drifts.

lol waste of money solcat k if you wanna drift this is what you gotta do. okay liths are good but hey 6 cell is fine. put all weight on the rear. umm okay now to the basics you want awd cuz u need it so cuz its a gen 1 pick up awd, 2 cell holder, and clear coat/clear nailpolish. k why clear coat and nailpolish...cuz well be making your tires slippery. alright just spray some clear coat over your tires and you should break traction EXTREMELY easily with liths i couldnt control my car. nailpolish is an alternative but a NOTICEABLE one

lol I put on the drift kit and even though its just hard plastic tires and some rims, it makes my infiniti able to drift arond a long corner, but when i out the tires on my stock skyline it just spins out because there is no awd.

a) the homemade drift tires originated from xmodworld.com and if done properly looks stock.

b) okay im giving you a money saver so if you have money to burn go ahead but with my way (6 cells and the drift tires) its 5 -8 bucks. now youre way (bearings a turbo??? and good batteries) thats running you hmm 25 dollars with my way the extra money could be put into doing MORE mods.

c) hmm so good batteries eh. alright wut kind of batteries nimh, nicd, alkaline i doubt u know which ones the best but its alkalines and that cuz it has .3 volts higher than the other 2 but with 6 cell 1.2x6= 7.2 verses 1.5 x4= 6. or maybe you didnt know that in whihc case u might be talking about batteries with a high mah rating but you know so much that youd already know that mah means how much time you can use your xmod. quality of batteries dont affect power quantity does unless youre talking about liths

srry to flame but next time dont shoot down my answer and make it seem like i have no idea what im talking yes some people dont like the rs drift tires yes 6 cells ARE REALLY HELPFUL and YES putting clear coat on you tires properly helps.
