Meggala,

Do you have suggestions on any car park large enough and empty enough on weekends to safely practice drifting? seems to be quite a time to practice during this wet season...

please keep discussions of this type (ie the exact location and obvious references to illegal driving) to pm's or emails.

if anyone knows of such a place they can mention that they do and ask that ppl pm them for details.

rs73, i'm not picking on you, it's just we have to be careful of what we say from now on as we have an image to uphold.

thanks

My bro lost his lic this week so now i have a second car Hooray!

Its an 84 corrola and man does it go hard. I never driven a car that was so predictable while drifting in the wet. Proly cause no lsd but its rear wheel drive.

What a great car it uses 5l/100k and i can actually get it in my spot at work(unlike the god dam low as alll hell supra)

So instead of spending 80 bucks a week on fuel to and from and parking now i spend like 10-20 ooooh yeah:) The thing cost $800 and have had it for 18mnths and only replaced 2 tyres at 30 a piece. ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
