The number of noisy days has been agreed with the local council 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 !! 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 it is not vital for you to come along and have FUN Do I need lots of power/ Stage6.9chip/ SuperDuperHybridTurbo/ 2JZ Nope.
Hi Lex, I've sent an email to pod but no reply. Booked onto my first DWYB on the 15th, however on NYE my driving license jumped out of my wallet somewhere...will I be okay with just the paper counterpart or do I need to re-book for another day? Cheers Tom
Hi Tom, I would take your passport as photo ID, then you'll have proof your Driving License in the same name is actually yours. Ian.
Any body hot any pics of a red bmw e34 estate from pod today. I had to leave in abit of a rush so did have any chance to pick any up.
My first drift day was at the pod today, First bit of skidding I've done. Started off in the morning just kept spinning out and by the end of the day was able to do three or four figure of eights. Well happy can't wait till i do another DWYB. Hopefully they fill in the pot holes
Red mk1 mx5 with yellow headlights, black bonnet and boot, I got caught on one when side ways and rocked part of my front bumper
Pot holes have been there simce i started drifting about 18 months ago. They just get bigger on the main track. U learn to skid round them. All tho i did rip a tyre off a rim earlier today.
My first time at Pod today and thought it was awesome ! tonnes of seat time and ended with linking the bottom up tot the top big corner and round it. Will most definitely be booking another day !
Anyone know who was taking photographs apart from Blackett ? Thanks Ps only because I can't find yours Blackett
