Papercutout · 15-05-2008, 11:52

DWYB at santa pod and TDSW (drift what ya brung and trampdrift south west) whenever the next one damned well is! lol

The next DWYB is the 9th (wednesday) of June.

And yup, lots of manfoot, lots of opposite lock and locks of kicking with the left foot! Works in the bmw too! (And my clutch is STILL fine, think its a wonder clutch!).

The point of this car is its UNBREAKABLE! So thrash all you can!

ok guys i had a good trawl thru the threads last nite like a stalker,first of all ive gotta say a big big big congrats to mjg for swapping paint and winnng round 2,now i know who you are(the penny finally dropped)doh.
topi i found your name grafittied in the back of the car lol.

look guys thanks for spareing the time to fill me in on a few things regarding the car,im gonna start going to dwyb days and look forward to bumping into yer and saying hi.

will360 · 15-05-2008, 22:38

just need to attach it to the car and buy a harness,again thanks guys.
i will now stop hijacking the forum and melt into the background before i get moderated.

Joshy · 15-05-2008, 23:10

Where about in Brixton are you if you don't mind me asking? I was born and raised there (unfortunately

).

Oh, and you've bought yourself a legend. I seriously don't think any car on the UK Drift scene has a history like MJG's old Serria.

Good luck with it.

Oh, and second dibs if you sell it

.

will360 · 16-05-2008, 00:28

hi joshy,i grew up on acre lane(the frontline nowadays).have since moved furter and further out.
brixton isnt as bad as people make out tbh.and the riots are a hoot lol.

MJG · 16-05-2008, 07:18

If it doesn't go above 3.5k then yeah the 2nd pot won't be opening or worse. It used to get to about 5k before running out of puff when running single pot. You can feel the 2nd throttle on the pedal it is like a 2 stage throttle. It rarely used to do it in 1st gear but should do it no probs otherwise. Just whip the airbox off and WD40 it's ass.

will360 · 17-05-2008, 20:11

what an awesome car!
throttle cable had two strands left and was stretched big time,was only driving on 2/3rds of the first pot,now the second opens fine and she rips.have also done some electrics today and all works fine now.oil/water/brake fluids topped up.engine bay is now clean aswell.cable tied everything!
out to play tonight lol

topi · 17-05-2008, 20:15

Good work dude. I take it that the throttle cable was still the bike-brake-cable job that Gaz bodged about a year ago at Pod? haha.

gaz_moose · 17-05-2008, 20:30

MJG · 22-06-2008, 13:14

No, if I did buy it then I'd just use it to drive around in daily.
