Tried welding for the first time today on my new exhaust. Way moar quiet. Busted a stud on the cat though so now it's freaking leaking again... lol freaking leaking.

 

Didn't happen today, but finished cleaning up rust and spot painting the engine bay. Also removed transmission for rebuild. Looking to upgrade to Miata gears from Pineapple.

 

Evergreen Drift Pro-Am Round 1. 5/8ths for the first time. Qualified 9th, won top 16, 1 more timed #1 qualifier, then got put out at top 8. All I wanted to do was qualify. Was a fun day, loved the night drifting, can't wait for next round.

 

good job. my buddy trevor was in the event as well.

 

you dont have enough aero/stickers for top 8 lol

 

Lol indeed. A few more.

 

^ Nice. Vids up on YouTube or something?

 

Pushed my 7 outside and made room for the new donor car, a VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV8. Like Darth Vader I'm going to the darkside.

 

Been there, done that.

Get your butt on the track, seriously.

 

Well 2 week ago went and picked her up...



Spent the next few weeks waiting for parts, and tossed them on this weekend.



Today she got washed, and taken for a quick drive.

 

Is this an NA you are drifting? Is it harder than turbos since they have less power?

 

Broke the coolant temp sender off in the block

 

Tweaks car is Definantly NA lol.

 

just got an intake and cat back as far as i know, maybe header? dude got skillz

 

Yeah, it's NA. K&N intake and cats removed, stock header, stock ECU. It drifts pretty easily, I don't do any clutch kicks.

Here is a quick video of one of the first times I drove the 5/8ths. I have improved quite a bit since then. It is a little low on power, so I can't let off in the bank. I have a few tricks that allow an NA FC to drift the bank.

Uh oh... an N/A CAN drift? lol I might be spending more on tires than I thought.. lol j/k
Can you get cheap tires to drift on?

And for my contribution:
I pulled the engine hoist up to the front of the car right as my wife needs me to run some stuff to her so its all ready for the pull, which I'll be doing tomorrow.

 

Yeah, I am normally running cheap 245 or 255s bfgoodrich KDWs, and hope to be moving over to Falkens very soon. (If they ever show up.)

Roarke, N/A can drift just fine, you just have to build the N/A properly. I normally build mine for max area under the curve. As much torque as I can as early as I can.

Did about 20 runs of this yesterday:

Finally got a couple spins, getting more angle. NA FTW, all day every day.

 

looks good tweak..you ever come out to portland??

 

What's in Portland?

 

Tweak, nice work man. Your FC still rota power? (sounds piston/v8 to me...maybe its the audio, idk)

Anyhoo, went to PnP in Arlington last sat (5/12) turns out the 1 FC they have, HAD a RB downpipe & presilencer...hehe, $20 and couple hrs later they were on my car, Sunday i deleted the acv & air-pump and all associated bits/pieces. Lovin' it.

 

i believe they have drift nights at pir.dont quote me on that tho.im new around here.they have some cool spots in se in the industrial area

 

just bought my first mod- navigation

 

I removed the EM harness, depinned and removed all of the useless wires. I plan to make my own harness that will be tucked. It will look so much cleaner.

 

Friday, I picked up some Maxima Castor 927 from Everett Powersports to try out for my premix...tired of stinky exhaust, lol.. its dang $$!! Just over $10 per PINT (16oz)!!! OUCH.

Pulled the engine outta my 5spd Mx73 Cressida yesterday to fix the BHG...just like I expected blow thru between 5 & 6...good times.
