There is 2/10ths of sweet fu(k all chance of damaging your front bar. unless you drive like a total n00b.

Id love to come again... but I got exams *sniff* :) I'll double check the timetable and get back to ya.

if there's room i'd love to attend, but is their much point doing this seeing as my car isn't turbo? I spose i could put on the original wheels with jap tyres then i might have half a chance of doing some good drift :P what do you guys think? worth my while or should i wait til i get a more powerful car?

Kris (sKyLyN), there is still spot left.... I've send you a pm, let me know if you prefer Saturday or Sunday...

Hi Greg, there is still spot left and being non turbo has nothing to do with skidpan session. You can bring non turbo cars, you can bring automatic transmission cars, I mean why not? You're learning how to control a car in a skidding situation, even any old corolla/gemini can do this.... very slippery as so much water and oil...

Plus... drifting is not about speed... it's about style :)

Beside, if your car is the non turbo GTS, being a non turbo you've got more torque down low in the rev... no need to wait for the turbo to spool up, which means..... instant sideways!!!!

im cool with that :) im taking an extra set of wheels for the day is there anywhere to change em over when i get there? if so is it ok to keep them somewhere out the way until we are finished?

im not gonna go drift until i get rid of these ****ed tein suspension and buy some new tein FLEX suspension :):D:)

Are they blown/leaking or just that the ride is too hard?

Stiff suspension is great to drift/skid with ;). Just ask DJ lethal (nathan) how hard my suspension is :). As it is not a daily driver i don't mind it, and if i had to start driving it daily i would not change it.

no the stiffness is fine and i drive my car every day

but they need overhaul as i dont think they have any gas/liquid (whichever teins are filled with)

so instead of doing that which might help, but might wreck, i'll buy new ones

Ni,

Why do you need extra set for the day? I used my everyday set and it doesn't wear out. It's not like JMS D2 event in SA, if that's what you're thinking....

But you can always swap there... perhaps a worn out one at the back so it's easier to slide...

yeah the stockies are worse than the ones on my 17s... and the 17s dont have a huge amount of tread left on em.

dont want to look like a twit driving there with 16s on the rear and 17s on the front :D (cop bait)

if your rear tyres has too much grip compared to your fronts... you could understeer all the way in the bowl... it happened with one of the guys who went there last month.

better if you got time to put tyres with least grip on the back... allow you to have more fun during the day... :D

a little bit grip on the front shouldn't hurt, it'll probably prevent you from understeering and overshoot the bowl edge (if you get too excited with your right foot)

Nah, i will do all 4 as dirft is ment for all 4 wheels to slide slightly. It is easier to control the car with the accelerator. Too much front grip will cause the arse end to break out too easily.

All 4 std rims have 205, nice and thin. They are also a hardish compound :D

MEGGALA!!!

I was wondering when you're gonna come forward.

We can have max 7 ppl in one group, so you can choose

Saturday or Sunday.

I'll send you a pm when I got home from work...

Cya..

dont want to look like a twit driving there with 16s on the rear and 17s on the front  (cop bait)

Don't worry about it. I drove around like that for about 3 weeks once.. As long as the rolling diameter is the same should be right..

Just watch out for the end of the pan mate.. ok, i am an unco :D - but i came out and knocked my bar off and chipped it slightly. Then you'll have to take it back to Palm.. and we all know what happens then !

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
