Nice work and great footage would have loved to see some from trackside too, looks like you were linking up those first few corners really well. Wish I could steer like that.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I shall be at winton again this weekend ! for Performance Car Mania. Hopefully get some dry track drift footage for you guys.....

Hopefully be painting the car at the end of the year so there will be more updates soon.......at the moment spending alot of my cash driving the car rather than making it faster...... But i am still hungry for that 200rwkw so i can see my car getting rougher on the outside and faster on the inside.

The com didn't pull out the timing because the knock sensor was cactus and i was still baking it around the track for another 5 laps after temps hit 130 deg ! YAY ! go me ! :mrgreen: So the motor detinated the crap out of pistons 1 and 4 ......

Sorry 1st pic there is junk... :roll:

I have ordered eagle rods and JE pistons from the USA...... yay for their dollar being so crap atm! $921 including rings, delivered (rods and pist)!

Anyway hoping to hit 200rwkw by the way of the stronger bottom end + more boost + cam gears + bigger turbo (prob t28BB) (or maybe the 2871r thats sitting in my shed doing feck all !)

i saw pretty gardens in the land of the rising sun....(share)

Me and 3 friends bought and shared two cars for the Drift Matsuri in japan. I was enjoying the FD rx7 as it was under powered and the hand brake didn't work so it was much like my mx5 a while back. It cost $3800 ! non registerable or importable..... unless u paid more...

Drift matsuri is held at Ebisu zoo/ motor sport complex near Sendai....... 6 tracks on one mountain, all with varying elevation and difficulty levels.
Awsome fun to drive tracks that are steap and tight ! back to 1st gear for some hair pins !!!!

The other car we bought was a nissan Laurel

You went to Japan with Richie? Looks like his R33 in the background there.

Good luck with the bigger and better turbo build.
