Hi, Guys & Gals

My name is Dom and im 25 from sunny Bournemouth

Just getting back into drifting. I had a BMW E36 325I that used to be great fun and that was before I even knew it was called drifting. I just used to love getting the arse out!

Im currently on the look out for a Nissan 200SX S14A. Im going to start standard and get used to the car and start modding from there. Well ill stick a turbo timer straight on it, but that will be it for a couple of months!

Hope to get to meet some of you guys and learn from this forum. I just booked my tickets for the finals in Rockingham.

Why bother with a turbo timer? Better off jus not thrashing the fuck out the car for the last minute of driving and save yourself 150quid.

True, but I want it all running all the time. I wont be thrashing her, but if I need the power up and till the last minute £150 is worth it

hi guys.

names justin and you'll find me mostly hanging out on south west performance car (www.sw-pc.com) where me and ian (almeragti - who just bought the bright orange s13 in the for sale section) sort out the merchandising for the club. and also on here as im interrested in getting good at it!

i'm well into my drifting, but never really properly tried it in my current ride (rx7 fd3s) as its for sale at the mo and i dont want to break it as i need a house and am after a cheaper drifter option.

i'm looking into gettin all the guys into drifting that we know in the area as another lad we know has managed to get the owner of the old ww2 westonzoyland airfield (and still used by private planes), in somerset to let us on the airfield when its not in use for drift practice (obviously for money but we need to sort that out with him) so thats proper drift on time !!! 1st session is on this sunday i think (but im working!! )

cheers

Jez-GTR · 24-08-2006, 11:05

Hi All

My name is Jez and I live near Bournemouth.

Would class myself as another 'lurker' as have read bits on this great forum for some time.
After many months of admiring you drifters' car control I have finally made the decision to have a go myself.

I recently bought an S13 with stage 1 ish mods which will provide the base for a drifty road / track car.

Hope you guys can answer some of my questions re mods to get the car setup for drifting over the next few months so thanks in advance for your help

Jez
