Check - Weather Forecast

DWYB will run regardless - you will use less tyres and more petrol

I want to have a go at the EDC 08 track but not sure about it ? HELP!!!
Just ask one of the marshals who will hold back the queue and let you out for a few laps at your own pace

I cannot be bothered to read the 1st post so i'm going to ask a question that has been covered in the 1st post. I need the post count !!
Please do not be shocked if you are teased as a result. Its all about the seat time , not the post count !1!11!!1

Do i need a welded diff / Fancy JDM 2-way ?
a diff that locks both wheels will help - however its not vital for you to come along and have FUN

Do I need lots of power/ Stage6.9chip/ SuperDuperHybridTurbo/ 2JZ
Nope.

Hi, stretch is not a problem and if its the rears only then they won't need balancing but if you really want them balanced then Gary normally has his balancer up there when he covers the driftracing experience days so it can be arranged. Most garages do not balance the rears, just the fronts with an exception for 4x4's as all 4 have to be done.

Steve.
