HI

96dennis96 · 08-12-2004, 19:19

Hi

i´ve been visiting this page for ages and thought it might be an idea to get my lazy ass up and register

at the moment i´m driftin´, crashing and jumping around in a 90´sierra
while my s14a´s having it´s wintersleep and is waiting for some proper safety and handling mods...

well... where i live i´m apparantly one of very few people who´s main
aim it is to have fun driving and learning to control a car properly...

heaps of stupidly loud and slow chavcars around but NOT A SINGLE fast driven RWD...
it seems that even the german 200sx community is more after shiny parts and neons than using their horses round bends :dermal:

Hi. My name is Habib.
I have an AE86 Trueno GTV with a 4ag lightly modified engine includes standard equipment from japan such as LSD that knocks on U-turns, rollcage, adjustable camber plates, uprated suspension,HKS cams with TODA adjustable pulleys,

I will be at the practise day on the 23rd DEC for my first attempt to get sideways.

Simon Goes Sideways · 10-12-2004, 00:03

hey dude,

Welcome to Driftworks.

I met Habib at the Jap meet at Ace Cafe on tuesday night and told him about driftworks and the drift practice days !!.

See you soon

lsd addicted · 10-12-2004, 15:35

just joined the other day.have an ae86 live in college in belfast at the moment and a ae86 fan through and through.

Nutty Nutter · 10-12-2004, 18:05

since i arrived in such a manner - i thought i best introduce myself!

you may all have thought that im a trouble maker or summin - dont worry im not. Love my driftin and if i had the money i would have a drift car - but unfortunatly im jus spending all my money on my Starlet GT at mo.

Found i spend less on tyres with FWD so can spend more on the engine now!

Im in the procees of re-building my engine (well spare engine) to run a T3 setup with stadnalone ecu to produce 250 odd BHP at the wheels

TCwindom · 11-12-2004, 14:23

hello! Yeah... I'm not from Europe, rather USA, but I've been browsing this forum for a bit and everyone seems pretty cool. As of now I do not own a drifter... driving a 92 Lexus ES 300 and have a 93 Mazda Miata MX5 I tool around with.

Planning on buying a 92 240sx SE body soon... and saving for an SR20 engine swap. Tein HE coilovers.

hiya

Drive-By · 11-12-2004, 20:47

Just thought I better say hey,

I'm Chris and I've been in the Show and shine end of the tuning scene for 12 years. Done lowriderz, sound-offs and plentyy of shows.

Got into drifting about a year and a half ago after friends in the US and Japan wouldn't stop buzzin' about Initial D.

Puttin' together a local club, should be fun

the wizard · 13-12-2004, 15:41

**James** · 13-12-2004, 16:45

cheers guys and welcome all

Mux213 · 14-12-2004, 07:54

Ahhh, an introduction thread

Damn 25 pages long, think you may get to learn who's on the board.... got alot of catching up to do

Okay, so who am I? I'm just some dutch IT bloke that got into cars not that long ago. Couple of years ago I was introduced on the Nurburgring and with some friends bought an RX7 to run there about once every month. After about a years worth of fun one of my mates thought it be nice to have the RX7 meet the top of 3 guardrails and that was the end of that

Since then things have moved a bit slowly for me, for the mate that broke the RX7, he's now running around in his 911 and getting pretty good at it. Me, I bought another RX7 but a fix her up, so she's in the garage in pieces at the moment desperately awaiting to be finished but I recon that wont be till the end of next year. I eventually wanne use her for trackdays and drift days..

Since that seemed to be fairly far away into the future, and I see all my mates getting ahead of me, I desided to take anothing turn. As any moron who watches initial D to much would do, I did the most stupid thing of my life, I bought a HachiRoku as a daily driver to replace my company car next year. For the last 3 months I've slowly been fixing her up which luckely for me, was alot less work then the RX7 since this one just got a very little bit of rust to take care of and has most of the basic suspention mods already done. The weirdest thing was probably taking the buckets and 4points out and replace them with the stock interiour (one of those things my girlfriend made me do

). I do plan to put an adjustable semi-bucket seat back in for the driver side some day, stock seats just dont give you the support you need...

I figured the best way to learn to properly drive an RWD car is not to drive an FWD car as a daily driver. Having an RWD car as a daily makes much more sence and having the ability to do a track or drift day with it while I'm still working on my RX7 seems like a good idea....

But really?!? Man, I can't get my hands off of this thing, I have never in my life had so much fun in a car as I've had in my hachiroku in the past 3 months, and I've hardly been driving her and I have yet to start drifting her... Its put the RX7 on the backburner and really made me think if I wanne keep my DeLorean (yeah I got one of those aswell, and no I am not rich, I guess I just got unlucky at some point

).

Anyways, check out my website at http://mux.speed.planet.nl and if you are into hachirokus, check out our new european based forum http://ww.aeu86.org (although most hachi owners I see posting here have already found their way there

)
