  1. Pete unfortunatly im not at the finals @ Trax........ but if you want to get into the inner sanctum, ill sort something out, maybe if its only a team band so u can get round the pits
  2. just as important as balancing the front
  3. swearing tony, didnt want to post naughty words...it was a joke. as has been stated its not illegal to have it fitted, but would be frowned upon to be used on the road
  4. a weapon.... Erm excusse me ******* but you really have done it now.....just wait there till i get my car keys, oh, while im gone, can you possition yourself about 2 foot from the exhaust.......oh, you really have **** me off ok here goes, you asked for it dont answer back now you ***** ahha that will teach you........ hmmm, not quite a stealthy quickley drawn weapon
  5. yep pete i am...see you there old bean more than likely on the driftworks stand, as i dont think ill time to practice as i actually will be in the BRDC stand
  6. heres a couple of Pics from USC... couple of pics from USC Website, was asked up to do a demo, weekend just gone, brilliant 2 days off to the Auto Italia Show at santa pod this saturday for another drift demo Drift practice at silverstone 08/08/06 silverstone practce bloody good day...lots of high speed stuff
  7. but your not supposed to travel more than 40 mph, and only to get your damaged tyre replaced, the space saver is an emergency repair i see no problems with them if used as there intended, and not as most use them for, as a SPARE wheel
  8. yep, id look at the spring and damper

    Disappearing coils

    Within both these examples the manufacturers are well known... i wonder this mat.. do you feel the coils are indeed designed for the Calibra but not for the implications of the 4X4..? exactly right tony, i dont think there designed for the 4x4, or more so possibly not for the Turbo version Within both these examples the manufacturers are well known... i wonder this mat.. do you feel the coils are indeed designed for the Calibra but not for the implications of the 4X4..? exactly right tony, i dont think there designed for the 4x4, or more so possibly not for the Turbo version manufacturers, or brands........ many brands use the same manufacturer

    Disappearing coils

    most springs are made by only a few spring manufacturers, there are good spring manufacturers....Eibach and there are bad spring manufacturers...........
  11. fronts last along time, as the wheels are generally, travelling in the same direction of the car. personally i think its better to run less -ve camber on the rear to prevent the condition above, unfortunatly i cant recover much more camber at the moment
  12. the result of several low impact runs....
  13. have you tried contacting Ohlins
  14. Also Mat i am really looking forward to some serious set-up time on the new machine.....how does a progressive graph showing the effect of bump-steer during a pull-down at every point of TOOT read.... This is a valuable tool to predict and position the steering rack in 3D i cant wait to let you go to town on it Tony.....will be good to show the world an open approach to settings
  15. the pics with the bald chap is the D1 driver, James...... as was stated he also drove the car the Car is very much used, infact more so now than parked outside the house and only used for road driving.....The demos give me practice, and i attend most of the organised practice days,(at least 2 weekends a month not including the demos ...so plenty of practice time, when i can arange it with work) i already have my Eurodrift license, so have already proved a level of competance to compete in a championship theres no point starting a championship with only 3 events left to do so why would i just spin out..? i was drifting the blue car all last year.....till just before christmas there is every reason to sort the car, you have to be confident with it, and considering ive only just started with the white car, all is coming along well
  16. i am in Eurodrift....but the season is nearly finished and a car change part way through kinda put the brakes on.....plus work is very busy at the mo. as for action shots...the demos are kinda more fun,at the moment, pretty much free practice, which helps more for next season, plus it is helping iron out any issues the car may have drifting, the biggest issue so far has been cooling , but plans are are already afoot to assist with keeping the car cooler..... theres no massive rush, id rather have everything spot on for a full seasons drifting than rushing in and not really performing well
  17. if your gonna use harness,s, use a cage!!
  18. running just shy of 600hp which i think is a little more than the Soarer tiff was running...not that its bragging rights, you can have to much power! i need to lower the boost on mine, and map it for torque that will make things a whole lot easier for me, and save the engine at the same time
  19. The cars defo competative!!, its definatly the most powerfull drift car in the UK.......ive just got to get confident with the car
  20. was asked by the D1GB promoters to attend the japshow and hopfully put on a bit of a demo for the crowd....i was bricking it.... eventually i went out and had a great day, 1 of the D1 drivers had a go in the car...and loved it, infact there was quite a few comments from the Pro drivers as to why the car wasnt competeing!!! in D1 even without proper chassis set up, the general consensus is that the car is a dream to drift, well balanced and taught chassis (before the cage has even been fitted) anyway, ive been asked back to do Ultimate Street Car on the 5,6th August again at Santa Pod to put on another demo Ultimate Street Car Website....click here heres some pics from Japshow..

    Adie, Mark had my geo set while the monster was in...not had any issues, maybe worth asking Mark if he can get yours done

    Please do! One area that frustrates me is when people 'overlap' someone else's Geometry set-up.... From your race experience how difficult was it to finalise the handling if at all. the set ups changed depending on the track and conditions.....
