was decent, when track dried up was good alot of cars shredding tyres down the straight.. feel sorry for the guy who rolled quite lucky the roof only caved in the passenger side and the silvia and chaser that had the collision. unlucky :(

Despite the rain, Mallala was the most packed I've ever seen, so clearly the Matsuri idea was a good breath of fresh air into the drift scene. I've just got home because of the antartic conditions out there, but if they run one of these in summer it will be unreal.

it was a great day apart from the weather, but thats how mallala rolls.

Skid pan was epic, reminded me of the old Pt Gawler days, got to sit in my car(tailgate up on the stagea) and watch cars go balistic.

Fairly annoyed that i didn't take my helmet with me, My mate was running his S13 1JZ and a freshly built(ie finished the cage on friday night) Ke70 with sr20 power.

The only helmets they had wouldn't fit my stupid massive head!!!

nah not a free for all man, set schedule, different groups at different times, marshalls and fire guys always on track. Cars go through scrutineering to make sure they are safe. Yesterday was one of the best run events i have been part of from what i saw.

So cables ties are OK? :blink:

Sorry Luke, couldn't resist :P

i sure hope so cause cable ties and tape is basic requirements of any performance car :laugh:

when is this event on next?

what does it cost?

is it just drift practice..................iam keen to have a go nuffin like a barge loosing control was there many bigger cars out or is it import's only :ermm:

there were a couple of commodores and even a BA ute out yesterday but yeah majority are imports.

Pete - cable ties are part of the regulations, no cable ties = fail scrutineering :P

This matsuri event wont be run again untill toward the end of the year but there is rnd 2 of the state competition on the 24th of this month and there is a practice day or night pretty much every month.

for those with face book you can sus this short vid of the skidpan setup. was pretty wild in there at times, with 5-6 cars sliding around

Matsuri skid pan

daniel and craig built that rolla in under 3 weeks just to take passengers out!

yeah it's a pretty tuff rolla, they finished the cage on friday arvo, and it has some very customer rear suspension mounts.lol

Daniel was pretty stuffed by mid-matsuri, he was up fairly late rewiring the s13, that dude is just waaaayyyy too motivated. very good fabricator tho.

Definately chucking my XXXfat helmet in the car next time, keen for some Ke70 laps and i would love a ride in his s13, that 1jz sounds tough as!!!

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
