Yeah its a shame, but as said, hopefully I will be back behind a wheel driving as a sponsored driver for 2017 season!
A BMW/MX5 route is an option to keep drifting cheap, but at the moment I feel fine knowing that I'll be saving my money instead of using it up on drifting! An average event / 1 day drifting in my s14 was costing approx £1000, without damages/parts taken into consideration. That is purely just tyres, fuel & event costs, which is pretty insane!
Yes, a little. But no where near as much as what drifting does. I use/used my car on the road plenty, no issues. The only issues I kept having a few times over was driveshaft/CV joint exploding. This was 99% down to how low I run the car rather than welded diff putting extra stress on things. The diff doesn't help, but running the car low is the main culprit. I uprated the CV joints/shafts & diff to Skyline R33 GTST items which are stronger & have a better designed CV joint

doesn't having a welded diff put more stress on the trans when road driving?
