well japanese people would probably write it the way you do. urls can't contain anything other than roman alphabet (no kanji or kana) so driftas.com is still driftas.com.

I'd say probably the same goes for driftas as it's not really a word so you can't translate. you could spell it out in katakana though I guess like you do with anglo names and words. someone more confident with their kana (and with a way to type it at work!) will be able to do that.

Hey Richard

thanks for the heads up, i thought we would run into trouble with the translation :(

Be great if we could get it in kanji or katakana, who knows it may not look half bad :happy:

Is "driftas" pronounced like "drifters" or as in "as drift as ......"?

If its the later, ドリフトアズ would probably be more appropriate. Makes f*k all difference though, no normal Aussie can read kana anyway.....

Katakana... there is no Kanji for Drift

滑る ;) but it isnt a direct translation.

ドリフトッタズ is what i would write...

i wonder why if you know nothing about the language your trying to translate to why you would want it in that langauge? i often wonder about these kinds fo things with people

lol, I have often wondered the same thing my friend. but I believe I have found the answer. it's the same reason ARC Japan have "we advance it with own sense and technology, the latest surrounding requried by the times" written under their logo!

I also wonder why the japanese language every couple of months takes on board a new english word and it becomes part of their language...

the only reason that has been explained to me is because they think its cool

guess that answers everything.....

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
