Performed · outcome unconfirmed
Most owners like to change the pumpkins for clear ones but I use the originals as flashers.
Leading evidence: 'Use originals as flashers' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'actually drifting is not necessary' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace f pads and general tune up' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
I'm not sure how well a front-wheel-drive Honda with a thousand pounds of downforce on the rear wheels due to the monster sheet-metal wing drifts, but I suspect actually drifting is not necessary to become part of The Nation.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just picked up a 2004 911 Carrera. It has 65K miles. It needed some maintenance items done. Had them all done this week. IMS/RMS, clutch/flywheel replace, f pads and general tune up. This is first Porsche I have owned. One word to describe...WOW. Look forward to many fun times.
Nice unmolested 996. Like the original pumpkins. A very easy DIY is to have them coming on with the flashing indicators. You can never have too many indicators flashing in our driving conditions today. Most owners like to change the pumpkins for clear ones but I use the originals as flashers.

$1,000 says this would definitely not be a first. There are waaaaay too many "bros" out there in the world for this to be true.
And here's something for those Subaru drivers:
^ The chopped version needs some stickers. GReddy and Nitrous Express, at the very least. K&N as well.
On the way to the airport in Denver on Weds, I spotted a douche rolling a lowered, rattlecanned Honda with a huge wing and an enormous "Drift Nation" sticker across the back window.
Apparently, when you're in the Drift Nation, rear-wheel drive is not a requirement. I'm not sure how well a front-wheel-drive Honda with a thousand pounds of downforce on the rear wheels due to the monster sheet-metal wing drifts, but I suspect actually drifting is not necessary to become part of The Nation.
I don't normally harass *****, but if it had been possible to talk to that guy, I would have asked him to tell me about some of his best monster drifts...and then I'd ask where he stores his plastic lunch trays...
