My yolk wouldnt take 3rd without killing the clutch after every track day so thats why i built it lol, driving it three times in 2 years is a pain in the ballbag tho

As you already know prob dave, I started out with a fairly standard setup car with a few mods, did a few drift days & then spoke to Wez and he threw a few ideas at me like what i could do with the car to help me progress & build up a bit more skill & devlop the car to drive better...

After a few days of driving a standard car, then we changed the suspension setup of the car to a completely different setup which the car drives totally different & gave me more experience & we knew what we changed as we went along,

So i think practise is king!! But also is building the car as you go along with it, insted of just stripping a car down, building it from the ground up with a load of fresh aftermarket parts

Like my theroy on this is, do a few things at a time & not everything at once.. Because if you decide to change all the suspension parts at once, well imo its a can of worms and that will need serious amounts of seat time & practise.

i can see some drivers with cars that they have gotten built with high horsepower light weight etc etc. but i can't see them noticing how well everything works and getting the full potential out of the car. if you changed a few things at a time you can change your driving style to suit and then once you think things can be made better do so and work around that.

from my own perspective i spend alot of time fixing the car and servicing it to make sure the engine doesn't shit itself on track, everytime you drive a car you kinda have a fair idea what its missing so you buy the part and swap it out, i think very few people have the money to buy up lots of parts at once, plus some people i know enjoy modding cars more than driving/drifting them...in the end modding and drifting is a way of life
