After a massive year of drifting throughout Tasmania and Victoria, and with the preparations for Drift Challenge in December well underway, here is a small video Nick and myself from GT Garage have pieced together. The video displays a small sample of my driving abilities with out and in car footage from events this year. The video also showcases the the large scale change the car has undertaken since the vehicles purchase in almost 100% stock form in June 2004 to its current guise as a dedicated drift car.

Please feel free to click on the link below to view the video:

I would like to thank the following businesses for their ongoing support:

- Tasmanian Mobile Mechanics

- Highway Crash Repairs

- La Bella Pizzeria

- Federal Tyres / Goodyear Hobart

Without their help over the past year I would not have been able to achieve what I have achieved.

I would also like to thank the following for providing footage and photographs for the video:

- Adam Sutton (www.agsphotos.com)

- Alec (Nova Photography)

- www.loaded.net.au

- Heavy Hamilton

Lastly a big thank you to my business partner Nick for the production of the video and the tuning of the car.

The car will be competing at Drift Challenge in December 16 at Calder Park Raceway, which will be arguably the biggest drift event ever held in Australian drifting history. If your business is interested in using the vehicle as a means to promote your brand name feel free to contact myself on 0408782632, via email at [email protected] or simply send a PM on this site to obtain a copy of my personal drifting portfolio.

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
