who was the guy in the DR30 drifting at Calder on channel 10 today??

For those who didn't see it he got knocked out in the first round but it was great to see a DR30 competing.

I think channel 10 should have done more of a segment on it but I might just be a little bias.

There was only 1 non nissan which was a v8 holden ute.

It was Tom Monkhouse. His car is fuuuuuucking low, I swear it sits about 4 inches lower than mine.

The judging was shithouse going by a lot of what I saw today, he was pre-apexing better than the S13 and seemed to be getting the last corner better too.

His brother Jack runs in the ARC in a Galant, he usually shows up at SA drift days, used to bring his 180B rally car and then brought a VR4 converted to run rwd for drifting for one or two days at Mallala

It quite possibly could have been?? haven't heard a word about it how ever. Was it white absolutely dumped with 1800-nothing-suss stickers on it? I think there may have been a rally on over that weekend though because I heard this weekend he finished 1st over all in his newly aquired evo 8, not sure if that was this week or the week before. Spewin if it is.

Yes.... mine is rather high lol

But I havent had a cop look twice at it and I'm sure its the ride height

Tom's car has been slammed for almost as long as he has owned it 2 years now, I know because he got his the same week mine got complied. He has had one defect for bald tyres which he got of at the cop shop no worries.

Cops looked at my car a lot the day I drove it round with the gearbox and rails 50mm off the ground but that was just stupid and I didnt have the c-spanners to adjust my coil overs. I reckon my car got complied a lot lower than your car :wassup:

    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door. 
    • Given the absence of lower parts, I'd suggest that they are just draped over the backrest for aesthetics in the photo.
