YES It’s on again!! Bigger and better than ever.

Driftzone June 27th Drift Competition at Queensland Raceway.

Presented by Driftzone, Queensland Raceway, Ares Speed, Revolution Racegear and Autoshop.net.au

Track entry is from 12 mid day. $10 for spectators.

Action starts at 1.00 pm for practicing, general monkey business and qualifying. Driftcomp in Battle format at 3.00 pm. $100 to enter for all events. First prize is a full bodykit from Ares Speed. Second prize is a K&N pod airfilter from Revolution Racegear and third prize is two of the latest Drift DVD’s from Autoshop.net.au. HPI and Driftbattle magazine, major TV stations and Briz31 will be there filming and taking photo’s. One of the many interstate entries includes the HPI Drift CA project Silvia with over 200kw at the tyres driven by Ben Ellis.

Also competing is Martin White’s over 900hp twin TO4 turbo “Eleanor with boost” 1967 Mustang Fastback. Sort of like “Gone in 60 seconds” but with real power instead of special effects, those of you who saw the car run at the recent Musclecar Shootout can attest to this. Should be very interesting to watch it go up against the SR20’s and Hachi Rocku’s.

Local lads Josh Young still fresh from his second placing at Driftland at Oran Park in his Hachi Rocku recently will be there and Serious Performance 7 coverboy [hehehe] Mike Tyler promises me he will be there although driving a Toyota ‘Carina’?!? [i just hope he is not getting brainwashed] as his green 180SX is still in development. Making sure the competition is fierce, April Driftcomp winner Shane Bingham in his Hachi Rocku will also be there making the “over 9’000 rpm crew” swell in numbers.

Battle format means two cars at once drifting inches from each other in a bid to impress the judges and you, the crowds.

You can now pay for your competitors entry to the event online on the www.driftzone.com website. A fantastic way to secure your spot for a shot at some great prizes. All you need is a credit card.

Also we are going to be having a sign-on day for our new Driftzone Club!! Members will receive exclusive benefits including a Driftzone longsleeved shirt [essential for when you need longsleeves to compete on the track with, or just swanning around at Treasury casino with freinds] , Driftzone full windscreen sized sticker for your car, Exclusive access to the members only section of the www.driftzone.com website, Invites to members only days at Racetracks and skidpans, discounts at club sponsor businesses and lots more. Cost is $100 for 12 months membership.

** Please note, if we could ask those who wish to join Driftzone club to arrive a bit earlier so that we can get this done before the main activities of the day take our resources. Either that or you can also join online at www.driftzone.com instead.

Will be a HUGE day and if it is anything like the last event, the action will be awesome. Remember to keep the 27th of June free and will see you all there!!!!

Some more prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd arrived in the mail today.

DRiiFT clothing has asked that we present the top 3 with one of the BRAND NEW DRiiFT hoodies.

These havent even been officially released yet, so the 3 winners will be some of the first people in the country to try out the new range of clothing from DRiiFT.

Of course, this is in addition to the Streeter by Streeter body kit for 1st, the K&N pod filter from Revolution Racegear for 2nd and the drift DVD's from Autoshop.NET.au for 3rd.

Are the competitor numbers restricted? Can we or do we need to confirm our places prior to the day to ensure we can participate?

The entrants are limited to 50 places, so its worth booking in advance.

You can book online at www.driftzone.com and either pay by credit card, by mail, or pay on the day.

I'm making some changes to the the "Join Now", and "Bookings" sections of the site today to make it more obvious that you dont HAVE to pay by credit card but can just make a booking via the site to save your place.

hey

Was at Qld Raceway this arvo, (before the drags opened) and Darren from Autoshop in 180GO, and Ben Ellis with the drift silvia on the back of the century (100VIP) rocked up for the drift meet tomorrow to sus out the place and take photos.

Pretty cool to meet Ben in person and see the century and silvia. he cooked his rear brakes on the trailer on the way from nsw.

should be a pretty good day tomorrow.

Matty

And make sure you get there by lunchtime so you dont miss a second of the action.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
