Drifiting in Beppu? No offence mang but thats like asking what the drifting is like in Broken Hill, NSW...

Beppu is in Oita prefecture which is on Kyushu island, the 3rd biggest island thats closest to China (well closest out of the 3 biggest islands lol). About the only thing Beppu has got going for it in 'location' terms is that it's reasonably close to Fu-ku-oka (<- stupid censor), where 'URAS' is, so if you can hook up with those guys it would be pretty crazy trust me.

No idea what the drift is like, and frankly, coming from Osaka, Beppu isn't even on the map... but having said that it *is* a rural kind of town so there'd be plenty of car action out there (not just drift). The key would be to get a car, then go hunting! Meet people that way...

Hey,

Yeh, considering that my mate got his car from there when he went lasttime and said he went out drifting with a heap of guys something like "Making Gazage" or i think "Making Garage" .. I bloody can't wait.. Just finished UNI and now im on holidays ... Yeah!!!!!!

It will be pretty crazy shit, i could imagin.. Rezz is there any track's around there?

I seen all the HPI Video's and they make it sound as Kyushu is pretty crazy for DRift! Beppu city - Kyushu island you say :kick:

Damn this is just excitement :)

3 months, 20,000$ spending money.. what more could i want??

Let me know Rezz

Cheers

After a quick search nothing came up for me. I dare say you could find out where the local circuit is within 2 days of being there? Just ask somebody!

The only thing at beppu are a hell of a lot of hot mineral spring & mud baths. Went there last year and had about 3 'mineral experiences' the day i went there. Pity it was in August and farken hot anyway :(

Didnt see alot of drifting i have to admit. Best chance like Rezz said it to take the train down to Fu-ku-oka and check out the scene there. Also Prime Garage is in the area and they turn out some pretty impressive cars. HKS Kyushu may also be a place to stop and talk to Dragon-san

I don't think I could make $20K last three months on a jap holiday. from memory I spent about $3 or $4k a week. if you were just living there that's another story... but if you're serious about buying parts and shopping and going out you will do a fair bit of dough in a hurry. this was in tokyo area though so it may be different in the japanese broken hill.

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
