Ding ding round 2........ :D
Here we go again,lol. Iv a lot of work still ahead of me, the car is far from finished. Further plans are to use a spare rear frame and put solid bushes in it, I already hav the Driftworks bushes in the rear hubs and I'm gonna ditch the standard arms in the rear while I'm at it. Iv all year to get this car set up and also I can do a few practice days to get used to the car
fuck it, at least its drivable.
more then can be said for a few other cars.
my own included still. lol
Alan I can't wait 2 c your car out again. The sound of that rb is sweetQuote:

Getting there, looks very nice so far:D
Rite where to start????
The weekend was a pure disaster for me, the waterpump was leaking fairly bad so a trip to Bradshaws was needed to get some radweld to seal it up, worked like a charm :D
Then the battery was fucked so I had to keep jump startin the 180sx so enough was enough and I had to head back to Bradshaws to buy a battery. Fitted that and then the starter motor started to pack it in :mad:
Every practice session I spun out and I couldnt control the car at all and there was also an air lock in the hydro so it wouldnt lock without a good tug.
Fast forward a few hours later and im havin a drunkin conversation with Dan Moorhead (During this Chuck feeds me some of his chest hair to give me some extra talent :o) and Dan agrees to take my car for a spin.
Woke up the next morning at 10am and me, Pete and Willis leg it out of the hotel and I have to get a lift in Pete's Skyline to the track. Again practice is bollox for me as I had no car control, At this point Dan takes the car off me and he couldnt slide the car. His exact words are "There is something HORRENDOUSLY wrong with your car, something is falling out of the steering!!:eek:"
We pull off the front wheels and the tie rod was loose as fuck, so in come Kaleb and Paddy Brennan to fix the car and beat the shite out of the bump stops to give me extra lock. The next time I had the car out and (for obvious reasons) the car handeled so much better but alas I was still shite.
My car needs a serious amount of work before I even consider doing another drift day (i broke one of the FMIC mounts) so by the looks of things due to a lack of funds the car aint gonna see the track again for a long time :(
Thanks to everyone for the help over the weekend and well done to everyone who took part and as for the Just Jap gang, congratulations on organising an epic weekend :D
