Driftmania - Simmons, did you go? what did you think? where abouts were you?


Recommended Posts

Two very long days but really worth while. Enjoyed both thoroughly. Looking forward to next year. was in the pits watching today.

Hey man yeah i saw your car in there respresenting!

didn't have a good look though was too busy, wandering around different vantage points got some really good footage though which is sweet.

Yeh was a fantastic day... Thanks goes out to Adam for taking me on the Drift of a Lifetime!

Was the best experience i have ever had! Its absolutly crazy how fast they go sideways! and an incredible feeling of facing a wall yet still in control!

Most impressive was the hairpin, accellerate into it in third, handbrake then power all way through!

Reverse track and its gonna be made safer so they can run it reverse more often!

best bit of my ride was the Munji down the straight, huge angles and speed and then too hot into the sweeper spinning out!!!

Hey Thanks dude, its my baby lol.

I'll keep an eye out for yours.

You can keep your eyes peeled as much as you want but she's been in the shed for the last 18months having a overhaul... not long now tho... gotta stop with the distractions (AKA drinking and motorsport events).

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
