Bubba you have a few track to choose from:

- Baywater on moojebing Street on Sunday morning

I could walk there! :P I know they used to do nitro onroad a while ago but got shut down or something.. didn't know there was drifting there :blink:

Is it competetive or are n00bs tolerated? it's not on PVC/ABS is it? I built this rig to torch rubber

Sorry Bubba, no drift just pure "proper" racing. I am not a drifter by no means, but any of the racers at a competitive level give em a set of slicks/pvc and about 2 laps to warm up and they are as good as anyone.

Have had a bash before with some drift tyres and picked it up pretty easy...... then went back to racing :-) i didnt feel the same adrenaline as the speeds that are achieved in racing.

just an fyi, you were right, bayswater used to run nitro on the cement and electric on the clay track next to it. Local residents went to bayswater council regarding the noise of the nitro and therefor where not not allowed to race, so electric has now come along and the lap times they are getting is unbeleivable.

At the recent nationals 104km/h was clocked down that 35 metre straight. unbeleivable!

Brushless mod. Guy called Toby was driving it, he didn't place to well though overall but was definitely one of the fastest down the straight.

Lrp modified brushless I think it was

Would have been an X-ray I'm sure, most of the top racers here in wa run the X-rays with parts readily available

Turn related more to brushed motors, now with brushless turns are rated a little different, 3.5 brushless Lrp if memory serves me correct what you would be after but in no way should it be put in a tt01.

Google feral batteries, have good prices on the motors and li-pos you would need to get to that speed. You would also need an electronic speed controller esc for short to power it

FYI, motor would have been something along the lines of this:

http://www.teamassociated.com/lrp/parts/details/LRP50712/

ESC would have been something along the lines of this:

http://www.teamtekin.com/r1.html

the tekin ESC really seems to be the most popular one at the moment.

Prob looking at about $400 plus you will need a decent lipo battery ($100) so $500. most importantly though, can you control it?

You will need to ensure all your trimming etc is good, plus make sure you have a spectrum module radio to go with it, you dont want to be going flat tack to have your radio clash with another frequency otherwise BYE BYE car.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
