Who Is Coming To Drive Watch Drift This Weekend?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering who is going to drive/spectate at the drift this saturday at calder park?

This is the First open practice event this year on a weekend or in the daytime for that matter, which makes for good photo opertunities, and there may not be another one. Due to the high price of track hire.

The experienced drivers will be driving the track backwards! for one section entering blind over the hill into the shicane on the back straight is really scary! The best drivers kicking it oposite scando styles before the even get to the hill then exchanging over the rise!!not to mention great to watch as cars slide out of the last corner on the long track and skim the wall as they jam third and hit limiter all the way up the straight. :no:

The Holfrods S14 and JDS Imports LS1 s13 will be testing their cars for the DA series......and i hear Chris Dejager will have his new car there as well.

Should be a great day of thrashing!

Hope to see you all there.

Cheers Warwick

High powered performance street cars, high precision driving, Calder Park is now drifting nearly every last Wednesday of the month.

Fans, whether you want to spectate or compete, make sure that you're there to enjoy and join in on all the spectacular side by side, triple and quad action!- Drifting at Calder Park!

Who can compete?

Anyone can compete. You do not have to have a highly modified car to drift. Unlike most forms of motorsport, it is not about times or track position, it is about finesse, style and car control.

Drifting is judged by officials who follow a set of rules and regulations and therefore purely relies on the driver’s skill.

FLAGS

Yellow Flag:

Will be waved or shown to warn drivers of a hazard ahead or in the area of that yellow flag, there is not to be any DRIFTING/SLIDING or OVERTAKING on the next corner after the yellow flag was shown.

Red Flag/Flashing Red Lights:

Drivers must stop immediately where they are on the track and await further instructions from an official.

Black Flag:

Driver to leave circuit and report to the meeting director.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
