ok, AE86 drift meeting at Fuji Speedway. This was a great day. 3 D1 drivers in attendence meant a high level of drifting. My friend Tomo also took out a prize on the day

i second that!!

This is part of the original fuji speedway circuit. the 30 degree banking. It's hard to capture on film just how steep it is. you can barely climb up it. and spectators used to watch from the top. many people were killed. but damn it would have been awesome to race on.

my mate Tomo giving some passenger laps at the end of the day.

ok, that may be all I can muster for today. Tomorrow we move on to Tsukuba Time Attack, some pics from around Tokyo, and Garage Saurus.

[Mr. Keets]

No Saurus...sad panda lol. Squish pads gone...Wont that cause det problems???

[Beer Baron]

it's the other way 'round. no squish pad = no detonation problem (at a small cost of response). the 26 head is a tad detonation prone. the squish pads aid response (NFI how though). removing them costs some response, but enables more boost and more punishment before detonation occurs. any serious race head I have seen in aus and japan has them removed on both sides. being the half arse racer I am mine will just have one side removed as I didn't want to pay out too much response.

[Beer Baron]

By some chance do you have this in a higher resolution, its dying for my background picture but doesnt look fantastic streched

pm me your email address and I will send you a bigger one.

[Mr. Keets]

arrha..more boost less det; cant wait to read the full spec mate. As alway, nice pics BB

yep that's the plan. like the tatoo on my left butt cheek reads: "1 bar boost is for women and children". I will be running 1.5bar+ with this set-up.
