That's A Nice Looking Volvo Mate.......

Will throw them up when I get home, can't do shit at work. It was only the wet track though, real last minute thing aye (pulled the shaft out at 3pm, drifting started at 5). Should be able to hit up the big big track (Eastern Creek itself) in a few months time hopefully.

I took my 1 week old Stagea drifting on Friday night at EC.

Rock up to the gates, 1st security guard asks if I was spectating, I said "nah, I'm drifting". Security guard 1 pauses and then says ok and lets me through.

drive down to the pitlane and security guard 2 asks if I was spectating, I gave him the same reply, Security guard 2 was stunned and asked "YOUR DRIFTING THAT THING?!" my reply was, "yep, just watch me" And I did just that, drifted a stock, automatic Stagea ... it was good fun!

That was an interesting video a while back where the Japanese guy was drifting an auto. He had the foot/handbrake set up so he could left foot the rears.

[Run-It-Hard]

yeah, I know which one your talking about ... he used a cigerette packet to wedge the brake release didn't he? I did that too haha. I've never really used handbrake as a form of initiation before though. My Mazda's handbrake was shithouse (as they are). Don't really need the handbrake for the wet pan, just power out and hold on!

Oh yeah, theres some pictures of me sliding the boat on my website, which happens to be in my sig.

edit: work likes my site now ... cool.

Got my 1st Volvo comment today.

Was on a phone call to the Finance manager who said "hey you've got a nice Volvo!"...told him it was a Nissan...

"Well it looks nice!"

[WAGON_BOY]

i got the "is that a volvo???" the second day of owning the car................. i thought it was ROFL worthy

didnt think it would happen that soon.

[Sunkist]

the trick is to continue letting them think its a volvo without physically agreeing with them.lol thats when the situation becomes funny.

[PN-Mad]

I got "wtf is that?" from the diff shop today... ... basically a 350z. I said. Its the easiest way out now.

i respond with "its ma wagon"

[zei20l]

for you its a 350z wagon, the rest of us have turbo. so its better than some 350z thing

[PN-Mad]

keep joking about turbos while you still can zei20l...

I'll need to check those diff output shafts out next time we're at the warehouse- I have made more trouble for myself.

[ironpaw]

Want us to stop making of your n/aness? Bolt on that HKS kit and put it on a dyno

[scotty nm35]

I think he is too scared the rods will snap. lol.

[PN-Mad]

Is that an offer to build me a 3.8 forged engine

[Sunkist]

you guys are ass holes. not his fault he cant boost.

im pretty interested in what the hks kit will do.

[scotty nm35]

Not much at 5 psi.

Once its built, probably 300kw, 350 on e85.

[BMX666]

I've had my C34 for about a month now and had plenty of "WTF is that?", "look at the Skyline wagon", "Nice Volvo mate" (mainly from the guys at work giving me shit) but today I got my first "What make of car is that?" from a guy delivering junk mail. To which I replied, it's a Nissan. Then he says "looks like half a hurse, looks good in black though!" I don't think I'll ever get tired of the humor associated with the uninformed people of this world. 

[Sunkist]

The Carpark caretaker under my work decided it would be funny to assign this to the car park next to mine.

I said to him "very funny you decide to put a volvo next me"

He said "i thought you would like having you sister from another mister next to you"

i LOL'd

That new grille of yours is crying out for a diagonal chrome bar, Aaron...

At least the guy's got a sense of humour!

yeh hes a good asset to the carpark - owns a VERY VERY loud torana apparently pushing excess of 500hp atw. looks insane though regardless of power.

[zei20l]
