DWYB @ Pod - Beginner's Drift day 9 April - Page 15 - Drifting forum

emil_b_g · 09-04-2008, 23:32

greet day thanx to all the organisers.

By the way my clutch burnt and was non left i managed to get to Luton on my way to london and it wouldn't go any more i was in the red s14 and broke down by the road works a few drift guys that passed by where waving whihc made my wait for the AA man more exciting.

Ohh and the AA guys was a load of rubish managed to get home 22:00 because of them. While reporting the brekadown i tell them that my clutch is gone and to send me a tow track the guy on the phone tells me no we have to send a patrol car to asses the problem and to try and fix. I was like what his gonna change my clutch cool. They tell me no they will not change your clutch they will try to fix it i was getting angry now and telling him how the f**** you gona fix a clutch that doesn't hold the juice. So they still send me a patrol car 1 hour wait the guy come sees he cannot obviously fix it and calls a tow truck another hour wait ohh. But still i had such a great day that the AA still didn't mange to ruin it.

if you guys have any photo or video of a red s14 with m55afe reg send it my way thanx guys

GmasterT,
You will be at the next one, i need you S13 guidance dude lol

Emil,
I rang the AA when my diff exploded in the R34, i told them and they sent a tow truck straight away, mind you i suppose a clutch is abit more, er, fixable?

jason b · 09-04-2008, 23:57

yup, this is why I am switching from the AA - after a rally, I blew out my renix ignition and the crankshaft sensor, phoned the AA and told them the problem and that it required special parts and that I just need towing. 2 hours later a guy comes out and does the full "check" all the while I'm telling him the problem. After an hour of him fiddling and cranking my battery until its dead he says that I am right and that the ignition is buggered (I pinpointed the problem better than he did!) - He then says that because of shift patterns he is unable to tow me and that I'll have to wait for a private tow to come out. So then me and my nav were sat in the car for another 2 hours!! waiting for a tow, with no battery i.e radio, heater or light with an outside temperature of -4 (volvos don't keep warmth in either)

All in all we waited 6 hours ish to be towed when we were only 30mins away from home

First time to Pod for me, didn't skid, just accompanied! Fook me! It's awesome! Went home with 179 pictures and 4 videos lol.. I'll post some of the best pics. Tried to just get a range of peoples! Thanks again Spin-King for the lift up there and back mate. Appreciate that. 12" Chilli Doggz FTW! =D

Great day as always, thanks to lex and all the guys helping up there. every time i go up this place seems to get better.

ripped the bumper off on the first go out on the large track tacking out 3 cones trying to find third gear.

Nearly took out the camera man (sorry) and got a bit close to the pod wall when i spun off backwards.

Large track was great fun and challenging, finally managed to nail it on my last 2 sets of tyres at the end of the day, managed 9 laps out of one set off the tyre man and thought they were never going to give up on my. better than the old shit tyres i had.

only thing i would say is the large bump on the big track at the end of the long corner really could do with filling in and levelling managed to hit it and get air born and have blown another rear shock. i always try and avoid it and the more i try to more i end up in it!

i agree actually, the drain/bump f*cked me up and sent me in all directions lol

kam · 10-04-2008, 10:30

There were some dodgy bumps on that top track, mind you i was taking some "interesting" lines

Anyone get a picture of my black s14a, black wheels with the private plate?

mitsi_matt · 10-04-2008, 11:11

i like the bumps, felt like a rodeo in my wobbly bmw.

xborninthefightx · 10-04-2008, 12:23

Have to day that the one that ashfrancis is talking about is a bitch, i hit it pretty hard and thought that one of my arms of something was f**ked really could do with filling up

r5ben · 10-04-2008, 12:54

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.

Wow, I burnt (and I mean, thoroughly burnt) 6 tyres in a 318! Its not as light, but man, driving home on them? Thats mad!
Busy finding myself better drift tyres for next time - still got my magic everlasting tyre and picked up another 3 high tread level, rock solid (hopefully) tyres today (free, of course) to go on. Just need another 2 and I'll be fully equiped again!

Top kidney track was bumpy, just quick bumps, but it was really good I reckon, flowed nicer than the other kidney.

Mattyboi · 10-04-2008, 23:36

My advice would be to deal with the bumps on the whole. Not all drift tracks are mega flat! Granted the drain holes are arm killers but adjust your line to avoid them, i`ve done demos and practice days there for ages now and never damaged anything

20vWill · 11-04-2008, 00:14

Bumps are fine if you hit them right. And have radiators that aren't held in with OEM plastic clips.

Shouldn't be there though! I skimmed the drain once, never hit a big bump but they shouldn't be there.

How much is some of that tarmac in a bag stuff? Cant be more than £60. Thats only 1 persons fee.
