Each year for those that have tracked the progress of Tickford and FPV, the guys do a fun project with no support(dough) from me. They do whatever they want, in their own time with bits and bobs that they are able to scrounge from suppliers or the scrap bin.

They do it to amuse themselves and produce something different for our visitors to enjoy.

DRIF6 is such a project.

It is not in FPV's cycle plan.

It is not for sale.

If it were to be raced (or drifted) we have no idea how long it would live.

It is not street legal.

I am not aware of warrantees given by any provider of non street legal race (read Drift) car parts.

Seems to me that there is always someone who feels the need to p*** on someone elses chips.

Hey! Ho! some things never change.

Happy Jack = David Flint, CEO of FPV

      Yea my question was really relating to having a big stall converter and it's interaction with that. Why would BMW not just put a 5500 stall converter in there stock then? Then the OEM car could just launch control hard.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      If you fully flushed and filled it's probably good for 5 years. I would not push it any further than that. Generally speaking coolant is more by time than by mileage. Rust wants to happen whether you're driving it 50,000 km or 80,000 km.

      Modern transmissions like the 8HP lock up as low as ~12 km/h. And they will stay locked even with full throttle in gear. Far, far cry from the days of 3/4/5 speed automatics when they only locked up on overdrive gears and even then only if you didn't put too much torque through it. Manual transmissions are pointless unless you personally enjoy shifting gears.

      I read on YouTube that the neo has 2 bleeder valves? Can't see anything in the manual though

      The only other time I changed it is when I noticed it had become discoloured after a few track days (it was .. yellowish). So I drained and refilled the rad.  I think most people are in this situation. It's not like the car ran any cooler after I changed the coolant either. I'm gonna go with "If it makes you feel better, change it!"
