took my little S13 drift car to WSID yesterday to compete in street compact.

Had a bad start, 1st launch i broke BOTH driveshafts, i couldn't believe it, tried all morning to get some spares, my mate came to the rescue at midday giving me 10 minutes to get them in and ready to race, i was the last to qaulify just squeezing in before they closed it off. ran 11.45

then i won the 1st battle beating an Audi. next run i got a Bye, then up against a white XR6 Turbo i was staged and he red lighted so i ran and ran a PB of 11.03

next run i was up against a R33 skyline, he dialed in 13.7 and i dialed 11.00. i got a great start and changed as fast as i could catching him quickly i changed to 3rd gear foot flat to the floor the gearbox made a bad vibration through the gearstick and i thought at the time the engine missfired so i short changed to 4th gear and foot flat again, i rounded the skyline up and beat him to the finish line then as i put the clutch in i heard the gearbox issue, i broke 3rd gear

i thought i was out, i got towed back to the pits, BUT then i found out i had a BYE to make it to the grand finals. i was stoked i had a talk to the officials and they told me as long as i can stage the car under its own power and move a few inches forward after the green light i would be in the grand finals, so i did that.

next up i was in the gradn final with a broken gearbox, i staged and waited for the green and then just moved forward a metre...

doing this gave me 2nd place, i won 250 bucks and i got a trophy. SOOOOOO Happy about it all.

even though im up for a $400 gearbox and $130 driveshafts it made it all worth while.

i really wish i got a chance to run in the Grand final, who knows i could have Won.

so for a little S13 silvia with Built SR20 and a GT3071r, it was running stock gearbox and stock driveshafts and diff excapt for a kaaz 2 way LSD. i think it has done very well with only 276KW

Car is for sale too guys

any one else have a go? i ran a white 33, im curious to know if he is on here

Great effort mate! Congrats on making the final and doubly so on having the smarts to stage-up in the final and take the prize money!
