Ok so a little bit more progress again today , managed to get the bushes out of the arms , took a while but got there in the end . Got the arms all cleaned up and painted , now just waiting on more funds enter my account and can get bushes ordered lol [emoji106] . Still waiting on my Driftworks braided brake lines to turn up but something else did turn up today , my fluorescent pink handle grip for my hydro [emoji12] .
" Past update " couple of pictures from norfolk on 11/04/2015 , big thanks to Lewis Collard as always for the great snaps [emoji106]
Finally got all the back end sorted and back together , bushes fitted , Driftworks braided lines fitted looks a lot better and cleaner [emoji106] finally back on its feet haha , sorry for the shit pictures .
Had to do a gearbox oil change yesterday as the notchy box was starting to annoy me lol . Anyway got these Did a 70/30 mix 70% MTL and 30% ATF D4 feels loads loads better now and the "LIFETIME" Haha gearbox oil that was in there was really thin and black as black could be , Glad I got it changed . SHES ALL READY FOR THE NORFOLK WEEKENDER !!
Got bored today so decided to pop a satin sun strip on and what was left made myself some little light brows [emoji106][emoji12]
Did a lot of reading online before I did this , you can run either or to be honest but the MTL is a bit thick and the ATF is a bit thin , so a mix of both seems to give you the best option for your region (UK) and offers as little or as much protection as you want . A lot of Americans do a 50/50 and is approved by redline but as we live in the UK I wanted it 70/30 for the extra protection when cold / first drive in the mornings . [emoji106]
Sooooooo did skids at the norfolk weekender , sadly could only skid the Saturday but still had an amazing day with friends and some new faces aswell , lots of closeness , lots of smoke and lots of fun all day [emoji106] . The compact is still yet to step a foot wrong and is performing perfectly [emoji4] My mate Jonny wanted to chase me so I did my best with speed but also had to give him lots of smoke haha. He did manage to do a touch at one point and his tyres rubbed my paint off [emoji12][emoji106] The day was for a great cause and I obviously contributed my pounds to stickers and raffle tickets , plus they did pink and that just meant I had to have them regardless haha . Hopefully I will have more epic photos once the photographs get them all uploaded . So here is my final pic so far of the old girl still sat outside all dirty and still full of used and abused rubber as Sunday is a relax day for me so I won't be unloading anything hahaha .
Not updated in a while but not much has changed TBH , she has new boots , stickers , sun strip and my adjustable rear beam should be here soon aswell .she has done plenty more skids and she's still working top notch and still not let me down . I've booked driftland this year for a private drift day with a load of mates on 4th August , should be a good day got the track for 8 hours and then the same weekend it's the driftland bash so will be watching that .
Never thought I'd say this but i prefer the compact lol.. something cool about them Keep up the good work
