One of our state's (and country's!) most renowned drifters (and Skyline driver/owner!), Linden Reynolds, is in Japan with a group of Australians for the Drift Matsuri festival at Ebisu. It's 32 hours of straight drift on 7 tracks at one location - crazy!

It draws drivers from all over the world, from countries including Australia, USA, UK, New Zealand, Denmark etc etc... As a result of this, Option DVD held a competition for all the international drivers.

In an unfamiliar car (a Laurel with a fairly stock RB25 in it), on an unfamiliar track, our very own our Lindo WON the competition!!!

Yes I'm proud, I'm happy to admit it, so just thought I'd share our piece of excitement with you!!!

CONGRATULATIONS LINDO!!!

:dry:

lol I was gonna ring them last night Bec to see how they went, but thought I better wait until the festivities were over and they'd recovered.

That's awesome news, massive congrats to Lindo and all the lads repping us over there.

For those who don't know, the Matsuri organisers always run an impromptu comp over the course of the weekend, and they decide what it's going to be after the event has started (try doing that at a CAMS event lol). This time around it was called the G1 (G standing for gaijin haha) and all the foreigners were invited to have a crack at winning it. I actually think Luke Fink won the last one too, so us Aussies seem to be doing pretty well over there!

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
