Long time since I last made a update, but there havent been any thing til report.

I fixed the trouble with the throttle cable, and it made a enormous difference... ;):blink:

I tried the car two weeks after the baad start on the "season" in Bergen, on a large track in Oslo (Capital of Norway).

And the car worked perfect!! :laugh::P exept for small things like bolts that got loose and not big enaugh main fuse... :blink:

I used the car the whole friday and saturday without problems, and the sunday started with a couple of small problems, like the fuse always blowing (120A automatic fuse), fuel delivery problems (Probarbly because of the fuse), and loose nuts and bolts on the suspension... Causing me too damage both the left and right rear sides, rear bumper and front bumper, and too top it off, I blew the rear axle on the start plate in 3rd gear... :ermm:

When I start the car, I need to start rolling the car in 2nd or 3rd gear, or it only spins.. So I started the car in 2nd, gently released the clutch, and press the pedal to the floor, and the car whent off spinning, Changed to 3rd, gently and pushed the pedal and begaun to spin, and PANG :D And the car would not roll any more...

When I got back home, I saw that all the teaths on the ring gear and Pinion gear was completly broken off... :down:

So since that I have prioritised the job, to make mony for the repairs, and tried to get a hold of a new rear axle...

If I find any pictures or videos from the weekend at the "Rudskogen Motorsenter", I will post it here.

Now the time has catched up to me, and the car needs to be ready at the latest 8. may, because this is the first track day for the season... :bunny:

I just found a video from the last day at Rudskogen, and some driving from me... Not the best driving dough... :)

I love that tow car :(

Dude... That driftin was crazy! And those Supras? How much power are they running? In Western Australia, there's one Supra who drifts. He's my mate, but he's pretty shit...

Shame about your car getting bashed up though, after all the hard work.

Thanks!

Its only a drift car, so damages do happen in the beginning... And it all can be fixed, only cosmetics...

Yeas, there are a lot of Supras who is drifting here in Norway. The best drifter here in Norway who is call Fredrik "Halllon" Aasbø, is driving a Toyota Supra, and the only thing he has done with the engine is installing SM4 computer injection, and new MSD coils, and boosted the turbo presure... Making around 3-400rwhp I think...

He has also driven the Red Bull World Drift Championship in USA in 2008, and came in on 11th place I think, with a similar Red Supra... And in October 2009, He attended Formula D in the USA, but was beaten by Samuel Hubinette in a Supercharged Dodge Viper...

Long time since last update, but there has happen a lot lately.

First, I bought a house, and been away for 10 weeks the last 15 weeks on work travel, so no fun there, but overall I have driven three races of the four that has been arranged.

The First one was in Bergen where I live, and I currently have no videos of it. It was a great race, but engine trouble in the days before and during the race day, I did not manage to do well.

First problem was a knocking sound in engine despite having oil pressure, and it started after I had the engine out and back in again. After some trouble shooting, it was that I had managed to change the two lines coming out of the engine, so the flow thru the oil filter was partially blocked. Despite the mistake and trouble, the engine did not take any damage, at least it seems so... :bunny::banana:

On the race day the engine started too go extremely rich on Bank 2 (Right Side of Engine), and it seemed like it was missing a Cylinder or two... I swapped Lambdas to verify the side of engine, checked ECU, Swapped Coil packs from left to right, and tried everything, but the problem was coming and going, and always on right side, so the engine could work fine for one or two rounds, and suddenly in a drift miss a lot of horses... After the finals, I found a faulty wire in the wire harness for right coil pack and cylinder 6 (Number three on right side), made a new signal cable direct from coil too the harness, and It seemed like the problem was gone... But a couple of hours late... :blink::D

The weekend after I was in Oslo, on a Air strip for the Round two of the year, and it was poring down, and the whole weekend went into testing and checking everything, and I made a big mistake of taking it easy in the qualifying rounds, so I did not make it too the top 16... :(

Here is a Video from the race:

The third round was in a remote location outside a town in Norway called Trondheim, and the track was on a small isle, three hour drive out into the Ocean... I was currently on a business trip in Denmark, so I took a flight from Denmark too Trondheim, and I had some friend prepare and take my car up too this remote isle, about 13-14 hour drive from my home in Bergen... Thank you very much guys!!! Could not have done it without you!!!

This round a lot went wrong, the second round on the track ever, I managed too hit a tire on the inside of the first right hand corner, and pulverize my front bumper... Later that day, someone else hit that exact same tire, and flipped over a couple of times, so I think I was lucky...

Later, in the second turn, first Left turn, I went a bit closer to the wall than I wanted, and hit the rear end right into a couple of tires, smashing my rear side, making it 20cm smaller, busting my tail light and so on... not so fun... And one of the times I was twin drifting behind another driver, he stalled in the second turn, but I didn't make the stop, so we hit front on, busting my right headlight, Right front fender, and bent some of the metal in the front, and the bonnet... But the car still worked fine after all the savage... :devil::D:blush:

A picture of the damage:

There was also a car show in Bergen last Weekend, where my Club/Team was responsible for some show and so on, and here is a couple of videos:

The fourth round has also been raced, but I did not attend, since I am out of the country for work and I cant rely on someone else transporting my car, and it was 12-13 hour drive from Bergen each way...

So this was a large update, hopefully I will be better on updating it more often.

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
