Yeup, I will be there racing! (Unless my engine blows, or the turbo I just installed takes a crap lol)

Come support us!

 

See you out there this weekend! It's suppose to be 65 degrees this Sunday! Bring the BBQ!

 

edit: Double post, please delete

 

yay for drifting rx7's!

+1 driver (but i'll be driving a s13.. unfortunately)

 

I have drifted a V8 s13, wow, is it easy. A half decent driver in an FC can hop in a v8 s1x and look like a pro. I am not complaining one bit, if the FC gods keep taking craps on me, I will at least be in an FC lsx, if not a s1X LSx. :/ If I can keep the FC rocking a whole season I will keep with it though.

Anyways, will be great to have some people to talk to this go around. I hope there aren't 50+ people this time. :/

 

s13 = drift-o-matic

ive been drifting around one in the off-season, stupid easy.

you went to a couple evergreen last year? i remember seeing a red s4 w/ fmic maybe the 2nd or 3rd event?

 

Was great fun! Only one other drifting rotary out there this event, sad day. My day ended early to a blown 2 layer silicone coupler. :/ Second time I have flat out just ripped them apart down the center. (two different locations) Learned a lot this event, I needs some more angle, more *****, and less power (less throttle in general). Next event should be fun. Hope everything ended well with you Tatakai, did you ever get the tie-rod fixed? Did I miss anything at the end?

P.S. I am officially not white any more. I am so sun burned my skin is already peeling and flaking off lol. (2 hours after leaving the event lol) I am officially a redneck rice burning nerd.

 

yea, a lot of people got burnt pretty bad, haha

tie rod fixed good enough to drive home. i was able to get the spacer off and we got it back in the rack with some lock-tite and drove it home carefully (twisty lives like 10 minutes away, all backroads)

you almost need more throttle, but that's not quite it, you need to keep your rpms up. you should've ran with me, i literally SLAM it into 2nd coming in hot off the bank, and slam it again into 1st for the last hairpin. drive it like you stole it

 

Thinking about it today, I think I have had that boost/vac leak all day OR at least that second set of runs. Remember how I was saying I smelt fuel? I haven't had that smell for over 6 months. When that coupler finally exploded I could smell TONS of fuel. BDC explained to me, that the air pulses in our cars moves the fuel forward AND backwards in our intake. That is why the BACK throttle body plates are always so dirty and the front is so clean. I checked my car for fuel leak for a good hour after getting home and could not find any. Also when I was decelling on the way home I could not smell the fuel (because I have both rotor fuel cut on decel) I think I had a small boost leak all day, (reason why my response was getting worse and worse) I am excited to get my full boost response and more angle for the next event. You better be driving ur 7 on the track next event too! :P

PS Did you pick up the fire extinguisher?

 

yup, it's in my bag. i'll keep it at the shop unless you tell me otherwise.

 

You guys did great, thanks for coming out.

I'm trying to find s13 coilovers this week and ordering a clutch. I'm tired of watching, argh!

Give Yoshi Shindo props for throwing pics up: http://www.evergreendrift.com/category/photo/
