Yeah, and I'm pretty sure these are Finnish chicks, not Swedish... or, at least the pics were found in a gallery of one drift / 1/4 mile / whatever event held in Finland. Have a look here: http://www.x-treme.fi/gallery/view_a...tremechallenge ... and sorry for the chicks...
For good looking Swedish chicks, see http://www.snyggast.se (click the names under Tjejer Top-10 (girls top 10))
For (some) good looking Finnish chicks, have a look at http://www.carfreaks.net/gallery/glamour_trackgirls

Engine seems to have some www.area951.nu stuff.
How about this Latvian 944 custom:

Sami951- DAMN! those Swedish girls are HOT!!! Some looked a little young, but DAMN!
The car... interesting- I'd like to see a few close-ups of the interior- the stereo stuff, like front speakers, for one- the overall car is a little too loud for my tastes, but, it's still interesting & he obviously put a lot of effort into it- I hate that underbody looking crap though- the stuff that hangs out at the rear & sides & that ugly rear spoiler, but... it's not my $$$.....

The Vipers and Millen's GTO were very cool to watch but the 240 SXs (flip and fixed lighted bodies) and the 350Z with a 2.4L turbo motors were seemingly the cars to have (although I sorta liked the little ugly NA Toyotas myself). Come to think of it, the only NA cars were the Vipers, FF Cobras (which were not impressive), the GTO and the AE86s. I personally thought when I watched that a 944 Turbo would be an amazing drift car.

There's a new type of diff. out now that was designed with the drifting crowd in mind. A spring-loaded friction-plate diff with a ramp under the spring that actually increases it's clamping force with greater slippage. Kinda like a continuously variable spring-preload. You can have a low 40% split for normal driving. Yet as traction differences increase between the wheels, you don't have to live with the inside tyre spinning. And you're not forced use a high 80% ratio like on the track cars to get even torque-split and and end up with squeaking tyres cruising around in the pits. And you don't have to worry about abrupt slip/no-slip transitions or lurching locking action (like on some electronically activated locking diffs). This diff and vary from lots of slip to full lock-up smoothly, and it's all mechanical too!
