I don't need tyre shops... when are yours ready to be finished?

B-man... whiteline kit and locker worked a treat... speak to power play.. they can get you one I'm sure... think it was around $400 for the diff, then fitting!

Great day guys, I really enjoyed it :rant:

Thanks to Pete and Aaron for holding the day, and Chris for hooking me up with dorifto tyres!!

Eliminated in the first round of the drift comp though, what's the deal with that!!! Maybe everyone was just amazed the torrie didn't spin out - I saw him in my rearview mirror and thought "wow nicely held!". :)

Guys,

I have about 1.5 hours of raw footage + incar from Dan's camera. I will be working on getting this together in an edited version ready for the next monthly dinner.

I will start a thread when its ready, should be great as I got some great footage from the end of the bridge :headspin:

Nice... I just remembered I forgot to get a copy of Pete's FD1 DVD yesterday, are there any spares?

I've got an hour of incar footage from my camera so I might post a short clip or two - or I can give you some DV files for the DVD Mal (if any of it looks decent!!)

you want pics? :rant:

600 coming at you, I might try and sort by car first.

Also thanks to Benm heaps of video to rip as well.

Great day out guys, its a shame there weren't a few more competitors tho

and I even won my first drift comp...all be it with a busted rear tyre!!!

That last lap was a classic. I was trying to get as close as possible to make it look good, your tyre was sparking like an angle grinder, I'm pissing myself laughing, your father-in-law's saying "Watch out, his tyre's almost had it!" and I see you look back at me as I'm coming at your driver's door. :looney:

Top fun and well organised. It was great that we got heaps of track time, and still had plenty of time to watch or change tyres between runs.

Bring on...

FDD3!

now stop giving me sh1t dan, here's some pics.

We've taken plenty so everyone that competed should be in here somewhere

Bloody oath... was so funny, I'm drifting through the last coner thinking that 180 must be there somewhere... I'm in like second gear at about 2.5 3 thousand RPM TOTALLY SIDEWAYS cause there was just NO grip! :bahaha: But I couldn't give up... Top Driving to by the way, I wasn't worried about you hitting me at all, and especially top effort seeing as that car is stock! :)

Oh and how good was the trophy!!! I'll post up a pick soon, just modifying it a little! :)

Great day and have to concur... When is FDD3?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
