Lmao have you got the odd tyres on the back still? Won't that be slowly winding the diff up being welded?

Have you dug out any skidder wheels bird?

Also, offering my car for rental. So if anyone fancies a few laps in a well specced motor, bring cash & proof of id (driving license will be fine)

Could use some advice , first time out with the BMW here!

No, because it'd have the same effect as turning in a short circle - the wheel with most tension will skip. Not exactly ideal while driving, but I had slightly different tyres on mine for a short while, and it just pulled really badly to the left

Almost done - shower tonight, gives me less to do tomorrow! Already stuck my tickets in the car (don't want to forget them AGAIN!), cleared the rear of my car out, will put some more oil in in the morn, and another 4 wheels, then drive off!

Silverfang - get a marshal who's good to comein the car with you for a few laps. Then you don't have to pay T.J. who's probably got lots of bad habits anyway

Dele-Himself · 13-05-2008, 23:12

Got my 10 tyres locked n loaded, fueled up and ticket next to the keys

Pretty hyped about this

lozza · 13-05-2008, 23:30

Give one of us a shout Silverfang if you need any help, i dont mind helping but im still learning too.

G-Man · 14-05-2008, 13:07

i really wanted to come along to this...but my new clutch is still bedding in (about 300miles to go)

whens the next one lex!?!

xlogic · 14-05-2008, 14:16

Booked in for the 9th July if anyone else is going on that day

Papercutout · 14-05-2008, 19:00

Woah, talk about advance booking!

Next one is 11th June, followed by 9th July.

Man, I just got back - am SOOOOO tired, but it was a good day! Had lots of fun, and suprisingly didn't go through many tyres, considering I was driving LOTS.

Big thanks to the guy with the White XR4i Sierra for giving me that piece of M12 bolt, got my damper back on and me skidding again - and I did my best skidding OF THE WHOLE DAY then.

Thanks to Lex for the event, and B for being, well, her...

smokeyrex · 14-05-2008, 19:23

First time at a drift day and what a great day.

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.

griffo20022 · 14-05-2008, 19:25

Fantastic day! PCO was a pleasure meeting you mate! Aswell as Dele, Maximus Driftus and Doz! Always good to meet new faces!

Car had shit me up a few times today thinking i'd killed the engine when first off the fuel pump had FELL OFF its bracket and pulled the earthing wire off lol! Next time it wouldn't start it was just the earth come off again the bugger! Got through 4 tyres heh heh. But the new suspension is soooooooooo much better! Not half as wallowy as it used to be and manages 2nd a bit better now, best of all though all 4 wheels stick on the f*cking ground now finally!

In saying all that though I do feel I fancy moving on with the car so the car is gonna be bumped for sale again hehe, I really really want an E36 lol!

Fantastic day! Fantastic Weather! Fantastic Socialising and most of all Fantastic Skidding!!!

P.S Hope Doz get's back ok, his engine gave up the ghost not far from pod

lozza · 14-05-2008, 19:26

Bugger me, what a tiring day

Very sunburnt, very very dirty and knackered but it was a good day!

I was surprised at how good the little S2000 skidded!! Good going!

Nice to see the regulars as always *tips hat*

Edit: I hope Doz got home too, such a shame about the ov! oh and nice to meet you!
