FATZ DRIFT DAY SATURDAY JUNE 25th ($90bux!)

[fatz]

lol yea i know i just cant type!

new long motor should fix that conrod problem

[eXc]

So did anyone care to comment on how well/bad I did/give advice? (silver 4dr 32)

I got a cheer when I went off into the dirt on the last turn in front of everyone. haha

It was so much fun, I am considering losing the 32, and getting a trailer/dedicated car to use for drift. but that's just a thought.

eXc mate i thought you were doingh well. bettetr than a lot of 1st timers.

don't get a trailer car. they're a pain in the ar$e.

just use your daily. makes it lal the more fun

[fatz]

yea mate buy the end of the day you were working it

[Abo Bob]

I might have a pic. It's not too bad body roll wise.

[eXc]

kewl. thanks guys. I know I was alot worse than the rest of the guys I went down with (white FC/blue 180/champaigne 180/stock sprinter) but hey, I gave it my best.

The problem with using the road car is;

1) I have to be able to drive it home...and home is 3.5-4 hours away from the track. This will limit how much I really try. I only tried to throw the car from last turn into turn 1, once, and that was when I ended up in the dirt, I don't think I am willing to try that too much with this car, incase I go off the other side of the track and find a wall.

2) I am not willing to go into a comp, as I don't want it bent up from me/other guy stuffing up (i.e. I won't go near other cars on the track)

3) Expense. I don't have the money to set this car up. If I sold it, got a $5k sil or something, then throw $3-4k in setup, I would have a decent setup I think, without spending anymore than what I have already.

So I will consider it over the next 6 months, and get to every Fatz Day that is run! (When's the next one! ?)

chris,

check out this: http://forum.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?...p?topic=25031.0

i started out with a 4door 31 just like this. i'm still shithouse but that's cause i lack talent hehe.

the 31 are easy to get the arse end out. rb30 has decent power. and this car is selling at a very reasonable price. i say buy it!!

[fatz]

yea get a 31 they are ment to be thrashed

[eXc]

not ready to buy another car as yet. I am waiting to hear back about a job at port mac. That add's another 3 hours onto the trip to oran park!! Atleast it's an extra $20k per year, so it would help fund it

[fatz]

lol

just sold a wagon for nix

great cars to drift

[eXc]

a wagon!? :S

[fatz]

yup wagons ahave alot of bumb weight so they can hang the arse out for longer periods of time

i have pics of the 4dr doing a skid mark

ill get them off my missus and post them up

[88silhouette]

beauty

man surely there are more pics out there!!

[eXc]

I had my camera, but my friend didn't take any photos

We had a video camera on the hill, but the camera man was apparently VERY VERY bad (I havn't seen it yet)

I had my vid cam mounted in the car, but the glare means you can't see the track...you can see in the car fine tho. haha I was considering buying a helmet cam for riding, I guess if I do I can use it for drifiting too.

Anyone have experience with car cams? I am gonna grab some tint of cuts and put that infront of the lens and see if that takes the glare away.
