well what can i say had my first weekend out with it and fook me am i happy... got it mapped friday morning and took it for a spin when i got home and the clutch was slipping so i had to be in mondello for logging at half 6 and it was half four by the time i was home from mapping so we gatered what tools we could get as fast as we could(knowing it was going to be a long night) and hit the road around half 5.. big thanks to graham and the lads at pd for number one waiting on for us as we were late to log the car and number 2 to let us use a shed in mondello to change the clutch like you couldnt ask for more really appreciated it..
finished up around 4 friday nite and went off to sleep in the 5star hotel de land rover

ohh it was the real die hard sleeping arrangemets

so sat morning the alarm of reving sr20's and the bapping of ae86's woke us and half 7 ..
then got my few practice runs in to avail that i had no 4th gear hich ment my entry speeds were going to be a bit slower than the average but as i took my first qualifying lap i had to see what she was made of..
i had the higest score as the brother rang me from the grand stand to tell us i thought he was only shiteing on and didnt believe him and i also had the highest entry speed so i was like a pig in shit..
went out for my second run and totally lost the run of myself and put the two wheels in the grass was sickend but i still got into the top 32 qualifying 25th so i was delighted as i had never qualified before

then the twin battles came and i was put up against kevin o conell and i knew i didnt stand a chance because i had never twin battled before and he is a shit hot driver but i gave it a go and to no surprise i made a balls of it and the car started to get hot as the fans arnt strong enough but after that i sat on the grand stand and watch how it really was done so i think im set to give it a proper go again

so all in all i had a great weekend and just to sort out a few teething problems nothing a few more shiny parts wont fix and i shal be ready to rock and roll for watergrasshill the 25th

also i just want to say thanks to all the people who helped and all the lads i met while getting parts for it ...
i should have a few videos and pic of the weekend soon

oh and on the last note i am proud to say thanks to my new sponser West coast performance- WCP

**Cooldrft** · 13-09-11, 00:33

Fair play Paul you did well to qualify ,in a car that you had little or no seat time in.
The car looked savage too

**Drift_sil80** · 13-09-11, 12:01
