Ha, my PC crashed in my last post....

anyway to recap ...cue timewarp wavy screen ....

I just watched the qualifier event the yanks had before d1 AND.....

OMIGOD!!! that is some of the most unbelievably shithouse driving (I wouldn't go as far as calling it drifting!!!!)

There was more understeer than anything else.... the yanks seem to think they are "fully sick drift kings bro", but the complete opposite seems to be true. For examples check out drift tengoku vol.14.

at least the Japs they brought out there would help a bit to make it worth seeing.

I wonder how long it will be before some kind of national drift comp series gets going here?

cheers,

After going to the latest round of V8 supercars at Oran Park I became really excited with an idea ( not the first time )

They fill in time between support races and the main event with a couple of bricklayers utes doin there best to make some smoke. At least the Falcon sounded alright as it bounced off limiter with a limo diff that actually works unlike the crummydore!

But how good would it be to have a couple of mad drift'ers in D1 style machines linking the track in some classic team drift.

Gives the opotunity for some of our own technical garages and modifying workshops to throw some products at a promo car and give the sport a bit more exposure.

YES! drifting needs to be promoted- but only in a responsible sense that doesn't make it into the fully sick "carpark drifter" spectacle its become in america...

I think a national series, an aussie D1 type event (but with more amateur classes obviously becuase the pros just aren't there), would be good.

cheers,

floody

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
