My Drift Debut

[32 Drifter]

Hi all. I've got a track-only 32 GTS-T and I had my drift debut on Saturday. I spun more times than I could count, but it was an awesome day.

Here's a couple of pics, taken by unda2l on dorished:

Thanks for the comments guys, it was great fun. I can't wait for the next IDA day at Wakefield on June 10.

Majanal, it may have looked like I got the hang of it, but looks can be deceiving. I'm looking forward to practising my clutch kicks at Wakefield.

As for mods, it's a direct paste from another site, so sorry for the long post:

I should probably clarify. The car's got an HKS boost controller that has three buttons (low, high and manual) and a knob to adjust the manual setting.

On the dyno day, a mate told the guy running the dyno to crank it up to see what the car could do, without me knowing. So I'm standing there, they clear everyone away from my car as I'm thinking 'hehe, it's not that bad guys', then it pulls 173 rwkw. The guy turns to me and says 'so how high do you want to go?' I ask 'how high was that?' and he says 1.4 bar. I shat myself and said that'd do.

On the track, I made sure I never went over 0.9 bar.
