Hi

My name Adam and I bought Sideways Simon's Black Limited Trueno

Plans this year:

Drift the shit out of it!!!

Doug S · 07-05-2005, 12:11

Doug S , original eh , my names Doug Seivwright hence the name lol

Been into RWD Japanese cars for around 5 years now, I have owned 3 Mk3 Supra 2 of them being Turbo's and I also have a NA that I use as a run around now. Also owned a Lexus GS300 , Skyline GTS-T , Impreza Turbo etc. And my latest car is the one show below in my sig. IT was formerly Marc @ The Garage's Skyline which I have played around with a bit so it looks quite different now.

Im 25 and I come from Aberdeen and love the drifting scene. Might not be up to much myself but I am trying and I intend to use the Supra for some drift fun and the Skyline for 1/4 mile racing and shows.

Thanks for reading.

Hi! My name is Tom and I've just invested in an Ae92 powered Trueno GTV on throttle bodies. A minty fresh example if ever I've seen one, it's on its way from Japan at the mo. Naturally, I'm pissing my pants in excitement whilst simultaneously keeping all available parts of my body crossed in the hope it arrives safe and well . July 15th is the appointed hour.

The car will be far far far better than me as I have extremely limited power oversteer experience. I've been nestling in the dark and dank world of FWDs for far far too long. My first love is Renault Super5s. Less tragically, my bro did have a big power Rx7 a while back, and we've got an absolutely nuts Ford F150 lightning, so I've smoked a few rear tyres in my time!

Please excuse my total ignorance of all things drift. This seemed like a damn good place to start learning. See you out there!

welcome guys

richieu · 28-05-2005, 21:10

Richie AKA Richieu, Retired professional rally driver, now hire ex works and clubman rally cars to rich people with more money than sence!

. Bought 10 AE86 Hachis a couple of months ago and intend to turn some of them into drift school cars and promote drifting with Terry all over the UK.

I'm really enjoying the concept of drifting but I have to learn not to be so precise (but when its sideways at 85mph in the middle of a forest at night you have to be)

I have workshops just outside Chester over the border into Wales and if you need any specalist help just call

**James** · 28-05-2005, 21:23

welcome Richie

were those the 10 Corollas that were on eBay?

bmxer4eternity · 29-05-2005, 20:27

hi everyone my name is Mike and I wanna get into the drifting sport. Im not shure wat kinda car to use i was thinking the mazda rx7, I live in the united states, so it would be great if someone could email me some suggestions on what I should do to get started in this sport and what cheap but good car will work for me....

thank you all for taking the time to read this and hopefully you will be able to help me out...

Thanks Mike

topi · 29-05-2005, 21:17

Hey, welcome.

From what I've read, the RX7 is an awesome drift car, but can be a bit of a pain to keep maintained. Especially if you dont like working on the car yourself.

The majority believe that the Nissan S13 and S14 are the best price, most effient drift cars. I havnt had any experience with either, though.

Hey welcome fellow bmxer

tommo · 30-05-2005, 20:27

hi im tom im a welder/ fabricator, my hack is a s14 sx, very new to drifting but ive nearly mastered my local industrial estate!
doing a top end engine rebuild at the mo because a bit of spark plug buried itself in to an exhaust valve.

After that im gonna do a few suspension mods and try and get to a few practise sesions.
More of a spectator at the min!! but love it none the less

Hello,
My name is Alan and I'm from Bury St Edmunds in the rolling flatness of Suffolk. I'm currently a university student, studying in Liverpool during term time. I've loved cars for as long as I can remember plus quite a bit before that. I first got interested in the sport a number of years ago after watching a Clarkson's Motorworld on Japan which featured drifting. I had always liked watching cars being driven sideways so this seemed like it would suit me perfectly! It was the good old interweb that really got things going though, various compilations, ripped DVDs and a bit of Initial D got me hooked. Unfortunatly I have only ever been a spectator with an old Citroen then university sucking up most of my money with the spare cash funding R/C car racing, a long time hobby of mine. For the moment I'll bide my time watching drifting and sorting out an R/C drifter although would love to have a go when I'm no longer a tax dodger.

Cheers

Hi all,

I'm in High Wycombe and I've got a blobby 300ZX. I've done a one day course with the Drift Academy and will hopefully be coming along to some drift practise sessions. I didn't use my own car for the course but have recently been trying to set it up for drifting (new adjustable shocks, disabled HICAS, S14 rear wheels) so will now be seeing if I can get the fat old girl to drit.

Cheers,

Darren.
