I was told anyone can have a go whether u've drifted before or not, is this true? and how much is it?

And what are the requirements?

yes anyone can drift providing they have a car and licence,

it cost $60 to drift, you will need a Cams L2NS licence i think cost about $50 maybe more and it lasts the year, also need to become a member of Wascc wich is a bit more expencive, you can get all this on the night,

for beginers they have instructors you can have in your car and they can take u to a seperate section of the track where you can learn a few techniques before you hit the big track,

Will be there, still undecided if I'll get out there and give it a go, been wanting to for a long time and this'll be last chance before I lose license, don't wanna break anything though. Can anyone confirm costs for a first timer? And what's the rules on the cars? Just no loose shit flying around? Only need long sleaves and hellmutt?

not sure about the costs for a first timer but it is all covered on www.driftwa.com and maybe www.wascc.com.au, You need CAMS L2NS Licence wich u can buy on the night for like $55, your first practice is free once u join Wascc,

You need a helmet that meets australian standards, long sleeve shirt and pants, enclosed shoes, no lose objects in the car

Was a good night, shame I had to leave around 7.30, I've had an irritating cough all week and was freezing my ass off. And the drive home takes so long. ;)

Slydr and the pink 32 repped the lines nicely. :laugh:

I can't wait to get out there sometime next year. I'll be practising in a 180 until I'm confident in getting the 34 out there.

hey all had an awsome night drifting, tyres only lasted me about 4-5 llaps before they was f**ked,

dad didnt have a good night, halfway through the night someone spun infront of him and he spun and the touno cover went through the back window and flew off, he smashed out the window and went back onto track, he started going pretty good but going down the straight at approx 150kph the radiator blew and when he when into cat corner it turned around on him realy quick and when into the wall, car bit f**ked, exhaust came off and bent all weird (me cable ties and heat wrap fixed it :cool: ) the drivers side from door back is pushed in and flat in the shape of the wall, havnt had a chance to check out it better but the back right off the car is slouching really low so might be a fair bit of damage, pics up soon

I went last night and it was awesome, slydr was really tearing it up :D I also loved the little corolla that was running on wires at one point along with the R31 with the awesome dose sound. I saw NA_Goodness in the carpark and a white gtst that was parked a car away from me with "hi" written in the dirt on the rear bumper :cool: All in all great night and when is the next one?

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
