Hey guys, i have been invited to compete at the Drift Fest 2007 at Calder Park which promises to be a huge event, Its 32 cars invite only, and the organisers are pretty much only selecting drivers which they believe have the skills to do it. Most of the Drift Aust field have not been invited due to their contract clashes etc. I'm pretty keen to give this a red hot go as first prize is $10,000... hell third prize is still 5K.

The catch? The entry fee is $1500. While thats not huge compared to most motorsports, it is a tight stretch atm considering its the end of the year, and i have just spent up on my car on various things.

Im not asking for people to donate me money, far from it, what i am asking tho is if anyone who is willing to help out with sponsorship through their businesses, or know of businesses in SA that would like to help out a willing driver, then that would be great. I have a full proposal already done up and i'm 100% professional about it. My car has just been resprayed, new kit and its looking 100% sweet, its the perfect Blank canvas atm.

Theres an opportunity for Trade stands on the day, along with various other promotional methods.

theres more info on the event RIGHT HERE

If anyone is willing to help out, hit me up with an email on [email protected] or Pm.

Cheers

Simon

thats awesome simon, congrats on being one of the few invited, sure you will do well if you make it up there, hopefully someone helps you out and you make it.

Best of luck mate.

thats great man, good luck with it all....I'll try talkin my boss into it, he's got a building business which is fairly well known. Ill try hit up my old boss too who does plastic injection molding...but im sure someone will slap some stickers on ya car and help you out.

Before anyone has a cry about this thread, please take the time to realise that simon isn't just some inadequate driver wanting sponsorship, i recommend you check out some of the many video's of him on youtube ect before you leave rude comments here.

This is definitley the opportunity to get your product/workshop/brand out there as we are competing with some of the nations best drivers (minus some DA drivers but there are PLENTY decent drivers out there without their budget), plus a prize pool that has even the 8th place person getting $750!

^^^^^ Thanks for that, i think most people within the car scene in Adel know of who Simon is and how long he has been sliding for, especially the way he used to chuck his sprinter in turn 1 of Malllala!

I'd love to help you out in anyway Simon but i also have 2 mates that grip race nationally and in the state and they need my help too!

Best of luck over there tho, I'm sure you don't need it as you talent speaks for it self!!

haha thanks for the kind words mate, that 86 was a lot of fun to drive thats for sure >_<

will ask teh guys at driftline if they wanna sponsor... can you run a banner on your car? they might be entering a car too...

Shan from the sound of it mate the car has just been freshly resprayed and ready for signage! Thus meaning majiority of the car can be theirs for the right sponsorship, and Simon is more than capable to represent them!

Yeah as darren said, ive a fresh body to sticker up! Got several smaller companies helpoing out with a couple of parts and stuff, but im looking for 1-2 major sponsors.

tis what it looked like today... fresh out the booth. gotta go down there tomorrow and put it all together! The colour is the new Mazda colour as seen on Mazda 3,6, RX8 etc. its a metallic and a pearl and its fair bright in the sun!

Cheers to the guys from All Type Crash... have done a sweeeet job.

    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
    • Yeap, was me and the daughter getting coffee before heading to the new joint to measure up the fridge space and taking some pics that the solar installer wanted of the switch board
    • I saw a car just like this stopping at Harvest for coffee this morning
    • Factory Dash Lamps...Half the speedo was dark...T10 3 Watt Park Lamps...T10 5 Watt Tachometer Chip/IC...Tach would randomly go crazy or stop, replacing  capacitors and re-soldering the chip would work for a week or so but it would always fail again...AN8352UBK (Buy on ebay AU) Heater/Air Con Control Button Lamps...Grain of Wheat Bulb 12V...Tried LED's they fail after a month or so(even with current limiting resistors)
