A.i.r Drift Practice

[dnbutts]

post up pics soon as you blokes get back! i missed out =(

[Pauly33GTS-t]

I was there in my R33 (silver one) testing it out and seeing what mods I need to carry out to drift well...

I must say it was looking alright im a first time drifter myself and I was starting to get used to it before my tyres ran out.

Everyone there is a champ they let me use their tools and if I borrowed some off of you, thankyou very much.

u were the silver one with the sau stickers on?! I was just bout to come on here and ask who it was out there.

was a pretty good day,even if the turnout was a little small.. couple of crashes, one pretty bad one with the s13. Aaron (sus 032) was awesome on his last few laps before he killed his gearbox.

Couldnt make it in the end. How many cars were out there on the track?

Any pics?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

yeah that was me flick!. lol. i had a few people come up to me and say hello, i thought there was gonna be more sau'ers tho

i went as a spirit of the moment thing, my mate rang up, i said yeah what the hell, and now im driving on some bald ass tyres! off to bob janes on monday!.

on a good note, i loved the way my car sounded with the screamer pipe... gdaymm!... lol but it is a little short, and it was burning some rubber thing that was dangling down and i had smoke in the cockpit. but sounded nuts!~

Pauly.

I didnt even realise it was u.

I was there watching Huddy bust a nt in his ceffy.

Dammit that boy can slide.

Pauly, i would suggest getting coilovers and or lower ur car.

U had massive bodyroll going on. Get strut braces and bigger sway bars. Also a 2way diff.

But i give u a high five for learning on AIR. very harsh track to leanr on.

You should come out to the Drift School on sunday this weekend.

Im gunna see how I go in the 4door. hopefully dont get to no the walls better.

Good work on going out.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

yeah like i said brent i was out for fun and for a test of the car, i wanted to know what the stock ride was like before i make it stiff as a rock. The track was pretty good, i didnt have any problems with it, mainly the fact it was my first time out there and learning some drifting techniques can be tricky wthout the proper setup... power over drift and e-brake ftw...

im buying coilovers this week sometime, i still need ecu to sort out and i need an oil cooler perhaps. i only got stock internals but they seem to be alright the way im treating it. im keeping this car for its life so if she needs a rebuild ill make it stronger. make a monster out of it yet.

First time for me drifiting out there on a track...... Got to admit absolutely bloody loved it although only got about 5 laps in before my right control arm snapped.... (Anhyone know where to get a new one for cheap??).

Its a bit hair raising with that wall and the tyre barrier near the bowl... Almost hit the tyres a couple of times (you should have seen the look on the photographers faces when i stopped a metre short of them!!!).

I was going to come over to say hello to ya but thought u might think i was strange lol. Had a good look at ya car when the bonnet was up anyway

REdgtst - were u the maroon colour 33 with the gtr wing?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

[Pauly33GTS-t]

That was me!!!!

And that tyre wall in the photo was the one that i stopped about a metre away from twice!!!!

Does anyone have any photos or vids??? I saw one of the photographers who said the photos would be put on ns.com but my work has banned it (damn it)... The only way i could use the SAU site was by saying i needed to get some parts for a work machine hehehehehehehe

[REdgtst]

I need to get some coil overs!!!!! Anyone know where i can get some for cheap... Im sick of blowing too much money on my car. I think the bodyroll factor could have been one of the reasons why my control arm snapped.

[*flick*]

that could be copolla - he takes awesome shots. Ill try have a browse through his shots n see what i can find, and post em up here when i can
