some of the QLD dudes have decided to hire out Archerfield for a small skid day on the 29th of this month. For those of you who don't know what archy is, it's a go kart track that they run drift days on/let you hire it out for drift aswell. So time to get the car ready for that. List of thing to do: Oil and filter Steering rack bushes All the link pin bushes front and rear Finally redrill Lcas to suit the JJR swaybars Wheel alignment Probably roll the new front guards to pull a little camber out General check over and tidy up Get a couple more tyres put on rims And then I should be ready!
Nah unfortunately not. Never driven a morning sesh either so I'd love to go to one and actually drive it one day soon!
Looks bloody awesome dude! All it's needing is the oil cooler mounted outside the front bumper for "that shakotan hype bro"
This thing is sooo rad, have you got the same name on the 31'ers forum? Seems familiar.... Also how did you make that lip, looks awesome! And the skirts are the OEM Chaser ones?
Yeah same name as the 31forum. Cheers! Lips made from a front bar and no idea what the side skirts are from man
They don't look like JZX100 skirts, they have a more aggressive angle towards the edges Kinda look like S13 TBO skirts almost.
Decided I'll make a start on things today even though the track day has been canned. Started buy doing the oil change which I knocked over nice and quick and make a start on redrilling the LCAs to suit the swaybars finally along with replacing the bushes. The passenger side was nice and easy but in typical 31 fashion, the drivers side was a jerk. The bushes were well and truely rooted. After plenty of Swearing and rage it was all done. the other things will have to wait for another day unfortunately.
Finally levelled the car out all round and pull some of the ridiculous camber out. Wheel alignment is needed ASAP!
Thanks for the kind words guys! had heaps planned for this over the weekend but the weather isn't looking favourable, so will have to wait and see what tomorrow is like
So got a couple of things done to this over the weekend, the old standard intank pump was replace with a walbro intank as my surge tank was running low after a big run. Also investigated a clunk that I suspect to be loose tail shaft bolts, which I was right, 3/4 were loose, so all tight and good to go again! Here's a shot of my disgusting looking engine bay too.
Nothing much has been happening with this, just been having a blast driving it without any hitches, touchwood* Took it for a drive and a mate brought his camera. It's a dirty, ghetto bastard, but I do enjoy it!
For once, this thing has decided it wants to be reliable and I'm sure having a blast with it! Taken up daily duties with it properly again which is interesting. Need plan out my next track day ASAP! Feeling the itch real bad. Also, took it out to a massive car meet out here, sure grabbed the attention of most of the crowd.
