Hi I'm Callum.

New to the whole Jap motorsport.
I drive 206 GTI (first and only car), although I'm sort of tempted to blow my student loan on an S13/S14 of some sort - I've always liked the SR20 engine.
I got into drifting after I saw some of the D1UK lot @ JapShow (Brett Castle and what not) last year.
So, mainly, Im just gonna be quiet around here, just try and learn a bit.

Hi every one! My name is Alex. I'm new here but I'm good pupil and I'll study quickly! I'm from Belarus (it's not far from Russia! ). There no drifting at all! It's bad! I like street racing, drag and drift! I'm 17 years old, but first time I drifted in 13! What else... Well, I hope drift will come in our country soon and our racers will come to GB to drift with U together!

Hi
I'm pretty new to the drifting scene, although it appears i've been doing something similar for a while now, thought i'd try to learn to drift correctly now and hopefully enter some comps. I'm based in Royston (just south of Cambridge) and would love to meet up with some like minded peeps for some fun.

Currently driving a Suzuki Cappuccino 650cc turbo with a few minor mods and a grin factor of 10 out of 10.

hello

i am new to your site. not that new to the scene though. live down the road from silverstone and went to all the events there, for free!! and was always buggin kiki


i am not really on the 'bandwagon' i prefere track driving more (cheaper on the tyres!!) but am interested in doing some drift days just to learn some more control skills

also there doesnt seem to be many forums dedicated to old skool jdm cars so finding parts etc is difficult so i mostly trawls the for sale items and pictures of old skool cars, my fav car is suprise suprise an trueno levin but i love lots of old mid 80's jdm cars.

currently in a MX-5, my first rwd car and first car full stop (absoultely hate FWD ) - had it for 3.5 years now.

spec -

new engine
LSD
enkei wheels
maxim works 4-2-1
racing beat full system
decat
crappy piper cross air filter

am going to finish it off soon but have just bought a house so am on a shoe string budget. looking for bucket seat and cage at the moment.


cheers

Axle

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself here, I hope its not too late, I'm Will.

I don't have a drift car, well just a K11 March (ahem Micra) at the moment which I attempted to drift in once, but during a snowy December after watching 1 D1GP dvd too many & going out to see friends, I attempted to pull a rally slide on a bend but it understeered and hit a kerb destroying a cheapo steel wheel,
