haha i didnt even get through one

i feel really lame!

mazdachris · 09-04-2008, 22:01

I drove to Pod, skidded, and drove home again, all on the same tyres. I love having a low powered, lightweight car

I think the problem with heavy cars is that they put a massive amount of heat through the tyres, which then overheat and delaminate. Even when there's still a fair bit of tread left.

don't know if this will work but its not the best quality as its from my phone.
my mate dave took it when his camcorder ran out of battery

retrodan · 09-04-2008, 22:22

new tack layout looks cool, and more challenging then the old, must go skid ther soon!!!

**Phil** · 09-04-2008, 22:22

We had a great time at Pod today, thanks Lex

.. It turns out James can still drift

, and he's just as bad at melting accelerator cables as me

..

Nice to see some old faces, and nice to meet some newuns

..

Exellent day as always got some good photo's which i will upload and put in the media section thursday as i am tired from my 4 hour drive home.

Sombody build a drift track in the northwest please.

Couple of pics for now.

Stavros · 09-04-2008, 22:26

New big track layout is WAY better than the last one, and no big fuckoff bump that destoys my car either! Good times

Getting closer with the pics, now down to 63 from about 250, with more chopping to come, then ill resize em...

PS- I think he liked Paul from Japspeeds S14 the best, as most the best pics are of his car

Dont blame him tho, its badass and was driven mint

jayz · 09-04-2008, 22:29

Stavros · 09-04-2008, 22:30

If you wouldve stuck to your guns and didnt listen to the sensible gang youdve been shredding em good n proper with your big boost spike

At first you was like "Nah, I dont wanna fit it, im enjoying myself too much and if it dies, it dies!"

Stock boost sucks!

At least now you got the boost controller my mate gave you now, I used to run 15psi, that deffo shifts ok and runs fine. TBH id put money even with no boost control like you had itd only do 15psi due to the teeny turbo, i tried it once and it spiked at 18 and dropped to only gay 12-13 at top end, but that ideal, as you found out- torque

jayz · 09-04-2008, 22:31
