Hey guys,

Two things.

Firstly, is it just me or isn't drifting very big here yet, I was on www.secretdrift.com which is in the eastern states and almost every weekend they are drifting. I was hoping that there would be more over here as i'm really interested in getting into it. We could like have cruises and make our way to the track etc. If anyone has any sort of info on it please let me know.

The other thing is that i'm in need of a drift car (cheap as I can't afford anything else) and i don't wanna smash my R33. I'm after maybe an R31 or even as escort, gemini, or datsun. Please tell me what you think.

its not so much a lack of interest..

its more a lack of willingness by the local providers of the tracks, waneroo are so utterly backwards and archaic in there thinking, that any new and exciting form of motorsport they tend to run and hide from..

collies a fair hike away, and the new airport circut, may one day do drifting, but atm, there not to keen on it, and theres not much you can do about it..

was in SA last weekend for the drift nats, and they've got it so good over there, pretty mcuh every week, legal drifto, and the SA sporting car club is right behind it and even considering making changes to the way mallala is laid out to make it even better for drift..

wish the WA sporting car club was like that..

ultimately, if you have 3.5k to hire the track, and then cash to get permits, you can run drift days..

id say waneroo will be a long way off getting a clue and realising its a good thing, instead of shunning it like everything else

Drift in WA - I wish, I wish, I wish.

I just came over from SA, and yeah its gaining momentum there nicely, as it is in nsw, vic and qld.

Does anybody have an idea of the cost of collie track? or contact details where I could find out?

Nice cruise and a bit of dorifto, might be worth organising as a monthly event, or even a one off.

As for a drifter, S13 manual would be the ticket for entry price, handling and cost effective, ie with very little mods and they handle very well. Plenty of parts around too. Thats MHO anyways.

collie have a track that people use....and the perth boys travel down and go nuts for a day.....there are competitions and all...... go to www.dorifuto.net and there should be some bits on some of the collie days....

They havent exactly updated the site in a while, does anyone know of when the next day will be at collie, might pop down and have a watch.

mate as a cheep drift car, just get a silvia, mine is a s13 det stocka, and it gets sideways nicely!!! mine was 5500k gemy or datto would b cheeper but mass body role and silvia's have good power to weight ratio's!!!

gotta have a turbo tho!!!

:kick:

AHAHAHA got to have a turbo AAHAHAHHAHAHA, have u heard of ae86?

guess you done watch alot of d1 hay

drifting doesnt need mods, the more mods the easyer it becomes to drift (my thread anywayz) for example to get a stocky r33 sideways (yes it is very possable and not just power-side) it is abit hard due to weight etc etc but if it had like a 400ps and a few sups mods i belived it would be soo much easyer.

drifting is more skill than anything i belived, if in the d1 a 175ps ae86 can out drift a 450ps s15, and a r34 4dr, soarer and chaser which all weight alot can also drift and place in the 10top what can i say.

ohh yeah turn wheels in slightly = camber

this has come up a few times, its not like we aren't into drifting, bloody hell half the car scene wants to drift to their hearts content but as mentioned there's bugger all places to do it.

And now with all that anti-hoon bullshit, most places are very reluctant to involve themselves in anything that will encourage hoon behaviour.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
