Who's ready then? - Page 5 - Drifting forum

**Phil** · 05-04-2007, 10:08

Bon's car went down to Garage D last night to take the place of the S15 temporarily and have a cage fitted, Bon came back at 4am with a replacement RB25 inlet manifold, so I'll be on that this morning..

I almost finished with the new look yesterday, and I'm absolutely chuffed to bit's with it.. The Driftworks R32 now stands alone as an individual badass car instead of a slightly weaker version of the S14a. This thread is usefull as my own list of things I need to do:

Change inlet manifold
Check for misfire
Re-fit Oil Cooler
Finish plumbed in extinguisher
Angle grind a hole for the tow hook in the front bumper
Find a way to mount the pull cables, as the bonnets not on hinges any more.
Change and add sponsor decals
Fit DW harness

^^ Cool, sounds good! I remember James saying at Lydd that you guys really wanted to work on making the R32 a 'badass' car. Look forward to seeing it, will it be at Drift Central tomorrow?

**Phil** · 05-04-2007, 11:26

Yep it certainly will.. We've not done anything massively extreme to it, but we've definately acheived the more agressive look

Shadowness · 05-04-2007, 12:11

Awesome, look forward to seeing it and all the other cars bright and early tomorrow! The weather certainly sounds like its gonna be awesome all w/e!

Good luck to all competing this weekend, looking forward to getting some updates and can't wait to see the results and some pics.

well i've just cooked a curry and lasagne for those who are helping us with the car (for tonights dinner). si's at work at the moment, then when he gets back about 6ish, we'll be heading upto wellingborough to work through the night on the car, in the hope of being at donny for mid day tomorrow..

luckily moffatt is a star and is already working on the car for us

all i've got left to do at home, is pack a few things...

suprmek1 · 05-04-2007, 15:39

**Mitch** · 05-04-2007, 16:08

Bora....I mean Bruno is in the workshop sorting his cables, I'm waiting on my tow eye so I can finish the mechanical stuff, then clean the car while drinking beer and eating barbecued food later.

Just going to have a last squint at the regs to make sure we haven't made any glaring erroirs

Yours was one I was looking forward to looking over

Stavros · 05-04-2007, 20:38

Not EDC, but picked up the Sierra earlier from having the fuel system firewall made, so think its ready for the Pro class in TimeAttack this weekend.

Give it death

Stavros · 05-04-2007, 20:47

Not mine, the boss!

I just get to ferry it around, tis outside my window right now, tis rapid, thats for sure, as 600odd bhp in a 4wd 3door Sierra with plexiglass windows etc etc would be, lol.

Cya on the weekend tho mate

EDIT, just realised the exterior cutoff wasnt fitted, so text Rents to ask what the crack is with that, and to remember to chuck the track wheels/tyres in the van, and the reply was...

"We will do that tomorrow when we get there, and the rest of the cage padding, and the battery box, and the cambelt, and the intercooler, and the oil changes, were gonna be busy"

Guess its not just the drift guys cutting it fine!
