  3. I have pics and vid but cant get them off my phone until I have bought an A/C power lead for my laptop, will do that tomorrow when Im off and get that sorted.......Oh and yeah the clutch lasted, still going.......wonder how long I will get out of it lol....."place your bets" lol....
  4. Advisory we like, seems it could really depend on the tester.....thanks....
  5. Mate if I took the Supra then there is no way anyone would have a go, but the drift shed, well thats what she is there for, abuse And despite the little accident I still learnt some more about clutch kicking......and Im sure I will have a lot more off's once my confidence gets a little ahead of me. Was talking to someone after and they said leave it cable tied, so any future scuffs, you can just keep cable tiying it on over and over to save keep breaking mount points. Anyone know where that would stand for the MOT, having a bumper cable tied on ?
  6. Well what a time I had yesterday. I arrived at midday to find the chap who organised it and he took me under his wing when I first got there, took me out for a few laps and then he had a go in my car. When he got in he wasnt very impressed lol, standard clutch, standard shocks, standard diff lol, I dont think he has had to work that hard to drift a car in a while as after to 2 laps he was starting to sweat a bit. Anyway after being out with Sam for a couple of laps and him giving me some pointers I rushed back to the cabin to grab my mate, throw him in the passenger seat and get back out for some Dori action. We managed a couple more rounds before they broke for lunch and after being wet all morning, it started to dry out, which made me work even harder, I was wishing that rain back. Anyway I asked Sam to take my mate out and about 15:00 he got the chance, which was good for him to see what a real drifter can do, while I was out of the car talking to them both Brad a regular there who I hadnt really met up until that point jumped into the drivers seat of my now empty car, so when I walks back over he was joking around saying Im going, Im going, so I said go on then you can have a go if you want, to which he seemed a little surprised but said ok, so he is joking out of the window with sam laughing about the car being totally stock, Sam telling him how he is gonna enjoy this one and Brads last words to Sam was "this sorts the men from the boys", now I want you to remember that bit lol. So Brad sets off in my car and the first couple of corners he's clutch kicking it to within an inch of its life trying to get the car to move how he wants, and then we are no more then half way round the first lap when something goes a little wrong, ie Brad sort of come off the track and ended up beaching the front of the car on a tyre wall. So me and a marshall push him back off but as the car is coming off the tyre wall it ripped the front bumper off, so off we limps back to the pit area with Brad apologising all the way about how bad he feels as it aint his car, but it really didnt bother me, its the drift shed after all and wouldnt be a true dirfter unless there was something being held on by cable ties lol. But after 20mins on the pit area trying to cable the bumper back I decided to leave it off as we wasting valuable sideways time we and just got back out there, to which I literally spent the next 3 hours just going round and round, to say I was loving it is an understatement lol.....I didnt come off unless I had to...... So 16:00 comes and the marshall tells this is my last one, what Noooooooooo, I wanna stay lol, and after spending about 45mins cable tiying the bumper back on we set off home. Was a totally good day, learnt loads about drifting and initiating a drift using the handbrake, something I have never been taught or praticed myself, got some good long drifts towards the end, what a feeling when your sweeping round a bend sideways, arse hanging out drifting along a tyre wall. Had quite a few more spins though, usually due to getting a little too excited and giving it a bit too much man foot. Definitely need to get the diff welded, its so lazy in getting the standard VLSD to lock, drift handbrake and coilovers, she was a little boaty....... Cant wait for next month...... Pics and video to follow.......
  7. We need a plane over a smilie smilie for that one......Erm, Belfast Chris But I will, its even just nice to be in a car you havent got to worry about, I have been in the Supra now for 6 years and am just used to looking where I park, no curbs, no tight spaces etc, now its like gap, crowbar'd in
  8. Yeah new clutch will be on the cards when the current one goes.......do you have any idea what the cheapest price I can pick up a paddle clutch for ?
  9. Blame who lol....? Yeah with this and the ring, it could be a very expensive month lol....
  10. If I do its now all your fault....... Honestly though, I really do expect to..... And if I dont that means I havent been drifting her hard enough lol......
  11. Get and use it girl, you'll love it What car do you get to use.....?
  12. Im off to Lydd in Kent tomorrow for my first proper drift day, its been a bit of a mission to get here so far as my first drift car that I bought (S13) turned out to be erm, a complete fricking headache, but after eventually sourcing a S14 engine to drop into it I bought a S14 and have now decided not to cause myself more expense and hassle by completing this conversion and just keeping the S14 as she is, the S13 will be binned most probably...... But after working through car issues since Jan, tomorrow has finally arrived. I have a local tyre centre close to me that has been saving all their tyres for me, which I have to collect later today....... Clutch is a bot dodgy on it, Im hoping she'll do me proud and last the day, failing that it will be AA for the trip home..... To say Im a little excited is an understatemant, I just hope I dont kill the car, any other failure other then engine failure I will consider it a good day and be happy....... Here is the track....... http://www.uk-go-karting.com/images/circ-pic.jpg http://www.uk-go-karting.com/phpthumb/phpThumb.php?src=/images/uploads/tracks/lyddcircuit.jpg&w=400&iar=1 And this is the drift beast..... http://img2.putfile.com/main/4/9217004293.jpg Anyone close by, could meet up for a lunch time coffee or you could pop along and watch, would love some pics of me drifting spinning out
  13. Was sat there in traffic crawling along trying to get off at the M40 for work when out of the corner of my eye going past in the opposite direction was a black Supra, no idea reg, bodykit, wheels, or even if the driver was male or female lol......
