Nate uploaded his vids first, but I'm posting a thread first!

RWD, JDM 6-speed gearing (5 speed rear diff), old slicks, welded rear diff, and the infamous 3SX rear sway bar. Makes for a slow car, but it's a blast to drive.

For a teaser, here's me doing a bonzai last run, enjoy.

God that looks like fun. I can barely make my way around a proper track, I'd hate to think how many cones I'd collect trying to do something like that.

That looks like a blast!

I've never seen a RWD 3S in action before. How does it behave as a RWD car?

I'm impressed to see the 6-speed TC taking such a beating without stripping the gears.

"Taking a beating" would require having grip, lol.

Looks like more fun than a barrel of monkeys, Chris.

One thing I never do is "launch" the car. I have two modes of taking off, normal rolling start where I do a stoplight takeoff and as soon as clutch is out floor it, or 7K dump and pray the wheels spin. Anything in between is the danger zone.

It also helps I only put 300HP down at the wheels.

I also DON'T use shockproof in the transfer case.
