I organised the instructors for D4D...

*cough*

Who said team effort?

Drift32Sedan - made a very valid post yesterday and It was deleted.

No it wasnt.

And you were made a point of talking about my "belittle" of yourself, even though it wasnt the case... but your the "mature" person here trying to name drop/have a go/start a riot with people.

Please at least act mature if your going to "be" mature me thinks.

I accept your challenge... :D

You have confirmation that I am not drifting in DA next year? thats funny because I spoke to boatwright recently and there is a position and car available for me. I also own a franchise, have you bought one aswell?? Well done!

Thanks for your insider word....

Hi Juz :) and scotsman I challenge you to a game of paper scissors rocks!!

Adam Newton FTW!!

Oi, you aint told me about the beers yet, there better be something organised.

You forget me, there will be more than just chilli down a few straws hohohoho

Scotsman were do you get your info every drifter i know detests neons and hates wiper lights i think you have come accross some tools that think they can drift ie they just kick it half way though the corner and clain there the new drift king just bullshit really when you think about it and childish on your behalf.

This is exactly what I have come accross. Sorry. I'm trying to say that IMO I have seen too many so called 'drifters' that associate them self with what I see as non drift related items. All I was trying to communicate is that I feel there are a number of poeple who hype up the club drift scene, scare people away and give it a negative ora. These are my personal experiences and it is that experience that has pushed me away from the so called 'drift scene'. However my comments are not directed at genuine motorsport enthusiasts and people who do actually drift for the competition. If anything I respect that. As previously stated I like the idea of controlling a sliding car. However I would prefer to do it timed, rather than for style.

and as for your challenge >>>>>>>>>> done and done see you at winton??? or were ever im keen az cucumber :D

I'm not prepared to continue to keyboard bash on forums. But feel free to PM me to discuss furthur and compare c0ck sizes. I would love to come to winton and drift, but I can say now, I wont be there. Purely because my car is grip orientated now and isn't functional anyway. Plus i'm not convinced we could work out an accurate way of measuring a winner. All I was hopeing to convey with my challenge was that i'm not affraid to get out there and give it a go, and that i'm not speaking from a noob point of view. I am very motorsport orientated and that includes drift.

I hope you can understand where I am coming from, as I am not anti-drift.

As for the challenge hopefully our paths do cross at some point in the future and you can see for yourself that i'm not just some tool.

I accept your challenge... :D

Hi Juz :) and scotsman I challenge you to a game of paper scissors rocks!!

Adam Newton FTW!!

LOL. Don't make me beat you again Newton, Or we'll have to start playing for who buys the next round!

If anyone wants to challenge me to a drift contest, I already accept.

Ill take ya on. Seriously, i already know i will win as coming on line challenging ppl to a drift off is seriously gay and perhaps taking things a little too serious.

So i will rock up in my old bus and challenge you to a drift off! Whatever the fark that is. But i know i will win cause i dont give a shit what other ppl think or call my attempts at punting my car sideways. I will be having a blast and if you want to run around and say you are a better driver then me, or what i was doing isnt drifting or whatever. You jsut worry about being the best i will worry about having fun.

After we have a drift off we hall have a drink off and the first to pass out or be sick or drop more then 3 drinks behind has to pick up the bar tab and the cost of the Winton day. Agreeable?

Really, who gives a shit. Im so over people getting upset over silly shit liek this

So many times on forums I start typing then read what I wrote and delete it, as it could be taken the wrong way. This should have been one of those times. The hole i'm digging seems to be getting deeper. LOL

But yeah i'm going to beat you all.. I am the best chuck out the rest. Bring it on woman.

I'll have to organise a mass ass whooping drift event now...

(I hope you muppets can read sarcasim)

Whats it really matter if anyone can or cant drive. Hats off to anyone out their having a go and getting better. Rather then challenging novices online, perhaps encourage more ppl to come along and join in on the fun.

It does seem there is still the element of underground guys (i dont know what else to call them) that want to keep it to themselves and mock those new to the sport. And comment on how they dont understand the difference between oversteer and drift etc etc. Whether they are any better doesnt really matter, you dont shit on ppls best efforts. :)

Adz wont remember but at my first Full Lock day he came up and spoke to me about my car and offered encouragement despite me having no idea what i was doing. I was a track hack let loose on a drift event. It made me realise that a few negative comments i overheard regarding my efforts and accident my first time out do not represent the whole scene.

In fact in fairness i think it may be the spectators / drift groupies that rub me the wrong way. It seems all the people running or have entered the day are easy going and friendly.

LOL...im going to so regret and hate myself for this dribble should strangers every introduce themselves to me and mention the shit im posting here ;)

my point is that most drifters go for the jap look not the fast and furiose look with there cars

i know that my own street car looks near dead stock but slightly lower with some tastefull jap mesh style rims cooler is black in no way would you know i drift other that a small and i mean very small insane drifters sticker on my back window and i love it that way

as do most of the people i know

most of them dont run kits and definitly dont run neons

and i myself help everyone in everyway i can when it comes to drifting but the problem being is there are alot of guys over using the word drift like most of the guys that used to say man did you see me sk8 that corner now they say man did you see my drift bro

drift is about entries, linking and style + plenty of speed when you get more practice

drift is not just kicking it out sideways

me personaly i treat a run on the track on the judged section as a race more speed the better

i acctually destroyed a pair of advan neovos on the front of the holfords s14 in one hour of drifting just because i was going in as hhard as possible locking up fronts big time

and the other generalization is that drift is slow it isnt slow at all and that gets me that people think it is slow

Very few of us are ever going to do it seriously/competitively, so kicking it out sideways is the best we (i mean i) can do ;)

When i get the diff that sits in my living room installed, i want to come out and have a play at Winton in my car....mark my words, there will be people that hang shit on me and laughing at me because i cant technically drift. I will be trying my best and having fun.

But for some strange reason ppl will be upset that im not sideways 35mtrs before a corner like the better guys, and feel the need to mock me for being a novice :)

Its that what gives the scene a bad name, im 30 and cop sh1t all the time from my older siblings so have thick skin and dont really care what ppl say about my ability to drive. Personal comments about my integrity upset me, but my ability to drive. LOL, your not telling me anything i dont know...but it would be nice if they jsut kept their negativity to themselves.

Anyway, may cross paths one day at these events...need to keep an eye on when the Starion's Ceffie will be out there so he can try the RB20 with the Greddy setup

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
