WelshMart · 13-05-2008, 07:56

Hey Will, you have bought yourself a very capable learner car and a piece of TrampDrift history. I hope you enjoy the car and look after her well

MJG · 13-05-2008, 08:15

Well being from Brixton, if you were a gayer you'd be shot by now. I do fear that the car will now be burnt out or nicked but Will, try and take care of my baby! It's very sentimental.

will360 · 13-05-2008, 22:05

cheers guys,will look after the car.
excuse my ignorance as a newbie,but what is this history everyone talks about?
if ever i sell it i will give you first refusals mjg ,you seem quite attached to it lol.

MJG · 13-05-2008, 22:21

It was my car after I bought it off some old dude with back problems, I made it into a drift car and it was one of the early non-jap/cheap drift cars in the country (not anything like earliest, but one of the original ones that made an impression).

It was sold by me after 18months to Topi, a good mate of mine, who had it for about another year? Then he sold it to Stavros, then to t51rjohn, then to john's brother, Rob, then back to me for a few hours, then to Ed who you bought it from.

I crashed it into a wall at low speed, then into a kerb at low speed, topi crashed it into a kerb once or twice, then AFAIK stavros hit another kerb in it, then until it got to Ed it was still generally fairly tidy with just a bit of a tatty interior.

I'd love first refusal on it again, even though I have little time for it, I could never ever say a bad word about trusty SKU

thanks for the info mjg,i now understand your interest in the sku!.
i will pretend i didnt read the bit about the crashes.lol
im now waiting for the weekend so i can go play,rain forecast at the mo fingers crossed.

topi · 13-05-2008, 23:44

Dont worry about the crashes bit dude. Infact it's one of the best things about the Sierra. Each time you crash it, aslong as you've got 15-30quid (and a 13mm spanner) to spare - then it'll be fine within a couple days!
If you put it into a curb, the Antiroll bar (ARB) and bottom arm/track control arm (TCA) will suffer, which can be had from any proper scrappy for pennies.

The car is a beauter, me and MJG had some fricking awesome times with the thing, and neither of us could fault it (though I would of liked a heater!).
And this is why you can never, EVER let it get crushed.

We've got the Midlands covered, but you need to make sure the southerners know about the immortal twincam

topi · 13-05-2008, 23:52

This is when I made it looks pretty

Fitting konis and polybushes

MJG's e28 and SKU

Standard and SKU

On the way to rotorstock, just over 2 years ago?

How it started off

Holy shit... fatkid? nah.?!!

will360 · 14-05-2008, 00:24

cheers for the pics topi,you guys are the cars history,who needs paperwork when you can talk to the previous owners lol.
looking at the pics i see that there was a bucket seat in there,maybe i should invest in one.i was just gonna keep it as it is now but i might get involved and clean it up a bit(no offence ed).
too many welded plates to have a pristine car but will now take pride in it and do what i can.ed where did the bottom of the front bumper go?lol
all in all im well happy with it,now i just need to learn how she reacts in the wet!.

topi · 14-05-2008, 00:34

Yeah theres many a storey to tell

Mike managed to make the beauter dance stupidly well!
There was a proper oldskool motordrive seat in there, but I DEFFINATELY reccomend getting a bucket for it. Helps an unbelievable amount.

It's cool that you wanna tidy it up Will, deffinately deserves it!

MJG · 14-05-2008, 07:05

Defo get a bucket seat, standard seats are awwwful. I had them for a while but as soon as I scrapped together enough pennies for a fricked fixed bucket seat it made the car feel sooo much nicer. Good luck with it Will, it's THE perfect learner car. Look at me, I'm awesome, and I owe it all to SKU.

topi · 14-05-2008, 15:46

Pahaha.

SKU made you put on weight, and you didn't pay for that bucket! I gave it to you because I knew it'd end up with me ha.

MJG · 14-05-2008, 17:03

Yeah but you get the idea

Awesome, classic car.

WelshMart · 14-05-2008, 22:57

Topi speaks the truth, however if you wanna get good you want to get to some practise days the cars will feel twice as powerfull when there is no worries on your mind

topi · 14-05-2008, 23:02

Deffinately. Dicking around is all well and good, but you'll progress sooo much more on proper drift days!

Dave cnuting twosheds, what are you doing down in the smoke?!

Two_Sheds · 14-05-2008, 23:12
