A rear diffuser would really complete this, saw it on the twin turbo 350z up for sale and can't stop looking at the rear end.
well its been used!! went to buxton drifting it yesterday,its made me love it even more its very laggy but will just take abit of getting used to for now until i change turbo etc. had a couple of issue's 1st was that a boost pipe decided to come off and i ran over it after alot of hammering my mate kinda straighten it out and i bodged it back on, suprisingly it held up. other issue was... a fire :annoyed: the high pressure line for the power steering popped shooting all the fluid on the turbo which sent flames everywhere, 1st i new of it was when the pas went heavy then saw smoke coming out the bonnet, by the time i got out the car a marshal was already on it with an extinguisher :notworthy, its melted the airfilter abit and made a mess of the clean engine bay, apart from that no damage. i new there'd be teething problems so not fussed at all, just need to get it fully road legal to test some more instead of wasting drift days! someone found a short video, not sure how to link them up tho? if this works turn the volume up and a picture one of the dodgem squad boys took...
Glad you like the pic Matt. I've got some more coming tomorrow. It sounded mental coming up that back straight !
had a quick ganzy round it yesterday dude smart looking motor. we rocked up to the top corner as it started to rain a bit so we were chilling in the van then you came round with flames hanging out of the sump area the marshall was pretty darn quick and glad to here it was something that is sortable. also the sound on chat nom nom also the lad in the slide rx7 that sounded pretty awesome to
ye the marshall was really quick and also john came flying round the track the wrong way with another extinguisher cheers mate, not finished fully yet but im on the case
It's looking well, Matt I saw you going down the M1 when I was rushing up to Durham on Saturday morning.
What a fantastic looking car that is, the whole car and mods just works so well together! The red and the white go really well! Would love to see it in the flesh! Mike
overdue update of how the car is getting on... after the incident at buxton i removed the power steering line and took it back to where i got it, they said its a faulty line and gave me another i wasnt convinced but had to give it a go. next outing was santa pod last wednesday, havent been there in years, ended up going with the other slide boys to try and get some twinning practice in, car was awesome to start with then later in the day POP! PAS hose popped agian, luckily this time it was at the pump end so fluid didnt go on the turbo few photos from the day stolen from the dodgem squad write up Slide Motorsport: Santa Pod DWYB | Dodgem Squad
so after eventually getting back from pod and blasting thru all the customer work i managed to squeeze some zed time in, another equivelant braided line wasnt an option so i went to pirtek/mend-a-hose and got them to make one, rated to 18000psi aparently. i wanted to do a million other jobs on the car but time just didnt let me. birmingham wheels was the next drift day, i wasnt overly fussed about it but i need to sort all the teething issues so decided to go last minute, didnt get there until about 2.30 after an incident with the truck,also was abit hungover # fair few folk there, and it turned out to be a fun day, think i only had 4 sessions but that was enough, it was all going perfect until the clutch gave up on the last lap few pictures and a video... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3sHJ1Avgyfw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> yes i no the exhausts arent straight, havent had chance to chop up and sort the japspeed direct fit one yet bumper didnt come off i just didnt take it as i/we damaged it putting it on the trailor after pod looks shit with out it on no power steering issues although it aint as fast as pod so maybe the problem will still be there,time will tell
