Hi Paul, welcome your project sounds ace, if a little time consuming what race team do you work for? I'm always looking for insight from proven area's of racecar manufacture

ps. phil u looked great drifting ur S14, perfect angle and perfect
Hi Sileighty , you just need to get yourself any RWD car TBH, my favourite 'cheap car' that I drove but never owned was a ford Crapi, James had one and I drove it a couple of times, it's so crap it gives you such respect for RWD

Hi Ross, I didn't realise you were Wills mate.. You need to get that westie on track mate, they arn't ideal dori machines, but if you learn in that, then get something a little more suitable you will own .. keep up the good work on the photies

Ello everyone, noob here!

My name's dave and i've got an S14 which is under development, engine mods to start with but hoping to sort out the dodgy handling in the new year, It's very early days on the drifting side but it's becoming more and more second nature every day!

Hi Phil,The project on my truck is a little time consuming cause I am fabricating the whole chassis and suspension from scratch but for sure when it is finished it will be worth it.It should be the lowest truck in England and proberly the most customised.ah and the team I work for is the Ducati Moto GP team,The last few years for Troy Bayliss and next year for Carlos Checa.

New here

Hi all,

My name's Mark, I run a company that restores, rebuilds and mods Ford Escort MK1 and 2's, some may have seen me at Bovingdon in the red X-pack MK2.
Just came along here after going to the recent Bovindon practice day and noticing the URL on a few cars, been interested in drifting for some time, but had little time to do a lot about it, attended a few of the North Weald days last year and got the bug more, recently finished building my new toy, so I am hoping to get along to more events this year, would like to have a go in some competitions too once I get to grips with it.
Also trying to get a few more Escort and Old Skool owners interested, think it's good to see various different cars in use.

My name is Daniel. I drive a 2003 Nissan Micra (rebadged, March, 'cos I'm a dickhead like that.) I constantly lose at life, and may hold the ability to drift automatics, simply by driving like a prick.

mansfield in the hizzay!!

sorry bout that.

i`m jamie, have owned a couple of s13`s (before drifting hit these shores). now i own and am also selling a 2000 s14a cuz i can`t afford to mod it for drifting. will spend the cash on a drift ready 200 of some description. only ever gone sideways in 1st gear so it will be fun to learn (and probably to watch) at bovy; hopefully on january 9th.










pm me if you want my motor
