Going back to Citywest this was how the car looked
when i had finished driving that weekend!

So after assessing the damage back at the HQ we decided that the only thing for it was to
drop it up to Gem Synott as his bodywork skillz are second to none,
and he's extreeeeeeemely reasonably priced!
Off we went upstairs to cut the quater panel off the donor S13 we have
aswell as the passenger window which broke during the impact!

Up in Gems, preparing the new panel and straightening the back end to make it fit!

And here is is back in the di HQ painted and back to normal shape!
I decided not to change the bootlid as chances are, it'll only get damaged again quite soon!

Thanks Gem!:D
Aswell as repairing the car, i found that the turbo was about to die at a show we had a "drift" display at!
So thanks to Dave at Japanese Performance i fitted a HKS 25-40 turbo and
Robbie at TrackDay Performance for mapping it on short notice, its now
running a healthy 350bhp and 360lb/ft torque!
The crack in the exhaust housing and serious shaft play:p

Rd.4 Mondello Park
Mondello was an EXTREMELY wet event on the saturday and i
wasnt in the mood to be damaging the car, especially as there isnt any barriers
to keep you on the track in Mondello like previous events and i had only spent
the last while getting the car back to shape!!
But i was fighting the same battle as everyone else and even as i thought
practise was going good, it wasnt untill my first qualifying run had ended to find Gem was beating me!
So i tried pushing extra hard in my 2nd run because i CANT let Gem win... But he did!
Have to congratulate the big man for some awsome driving through-out his twin-battles
narrowly loosing out to Declan Munnelly!
So i finished up 3rd in Amateurs with Gem taking the win! Some pics of the rain!

Sunday was a great days drifting, and because it was JapFest a few di members
got out on track for 20mins drifting.. That was crazy, especially when i caught
up with Gem and the two of us raced down the staight initiating before the bridge and somehow
getting around the next 2 corners together at ridiculous
speeds.. If anyone has vid's, please post them up as i have yet to find one!!
Few drifty pics and spec!
Here's an insight into how much fun the new Port Laoise drift track is..
