DWYB @ Pod - Beginner's Drift day 14th May - Page 10 - Drifting forum

WelshMart · 14-05-2008, 20:13

What an awesome day had great fun skidding today and my improvements on my car have definately made a difference.

Papercutout I didn't realise who you were, but no problem glad to help you out.

I also have to say well done to the organisation team they have made Pod a whole lot better than last time I went there and reduced queing times.

I admit i was no good but you have to start somewhere and it is better than doing it on the roads.

I will be coming to a lot more of these days and going to put the passanger seat back in so that i can let someone show me where i am going wrong.

Cheers for organising it lex and was nice to meet you.

You did really well for 1st skid day dude - we will get on on big track next time

Yup did the turbo install himself and a nice V mount IC

Big enough to flow 400 but was only running low boost id guess around 330ish as he is still waiting for his hondata ecu

Cheers mate we have really tried to ensure that DWYB has evolved to ensure everyone gets as much quality skid time as possible and has loads of FUN doing it

That top track layout was awesome!!! Well done on that guys!!!

400BHP was bull though???

The cabriolet YB E30 was cool too

Really pleased with myself for today, linked the top track twice in a row and every 2/3 after that.

Doz's engine seized about 2miles away from the main gate

I managed to use my RAC cover to get him on a low loader home though, good job as it would of been a 102 mile push!!!!

doz · 14-05-2008, 22:17

I had a cracking time today, was good to put names to faces. Sorry lozza, you didn't get to have a go in the volvo after all

nice to meet you all the same. I had a slight issue with the car - there was a big time oil leak which resulted in oil starvation at high revs, which in turn starved the big ends of oil. We refilled the engine with some silkolene, but no joy! I tried to drive her home, but she gave up the ghost a couple of miles from the main gate. Massive thanks to will for sorting out the RAC recovery for me and for Griffo for sourcing an engine for me at lightning speed

Anytime buddy, glad I was of help in the end, and not just trying to entertain you with some suspect driving and boot rides

lozza · 14-05-2008, 22:27

Glad you got home ok! Shame about the engine but hopefully it wont hold you back for long!!!

Sipha · 14-05-2008, 22:31

Glad you got home ok Doz, was nice to meet you

Si (Will's mate

doz · 14-05-2008, 22:39

Your driving was superb will, and the boot rides were second to none!

Good to meet you too Si. I wasn't too sure if you posted on here. Thanks for the several bump starts on the way home and the t-shirt egg disaster entertainment!

Cheers lozza.. I will be picking up the new Clio engine on Saturday afternoon, going to drop it in on Sunday fingers crossed, hopefully will be back on the road for Monday all being well

Oh and +1 for hitting a barrier!

mazdachris · 15-05-2008, 11:31

chopperead · 15-05-2008, 11:53

Awesome day yesterday i was a bit worried at first that with no rain my car might be a bit pants but it seems to go alright.

Everyone was really cool and friendly and seems to be alot more organized and has grown since i last went using alot more of the Santa pod ground which is cool.

I seem to be the only Ovlov 940 there peeps surely there should be more of us Sensible drifters.
