Guest tommyhwchan Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The kit is a full Orido MAX Wide Arche from Japan, Superb fit and finish got to say, though price is on the steep side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi, Very interested in this, as I'm currently doing the same thing. You using a dash dodging cage? Is that allowed in your drift regs as they aren't allowed over here (and to be honest I do understand why as it compromises the overall cage strength) Out of interest what have you done regarding the steering rack and extra lock?

Guest tommyhwchan Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi, Very interested in this, as I'm currently doing the same thing. You using a dash dodging cage? Is that allowed in your drift regs as they aren't allowed over here (and to be honest I do understand why as it compromises the overall cage strength) Out of interest what have you done regarding the steering rack and extra lock? Hi JustGav, To be honest, I don't mind having the A bar cut into the dash or not, as my dash is custom made carbon fibre item. Just that we actually bought the cage from Cusco happens to be dodging dash cage. Strength-wise, yes the through dash cage is ideal, and gives a stronger front impact protection, but it's only ideal for competition racing like touring car, as he collision is most likely to be head on crashes. As for drifting Formula D series because the officials understands that 80% of the collision is on the side of the car in drifting, the side bar protecting the door is most essential, as you can see I have a double beam protecting the door, and the drifter only needs appropritate protection from direct frontal collision. For the suspension arms and steering lock, I have a fully custom made set which was developed and tested by Orido and Tanguchi (the D1GP pro drifters) when they came to test this Supra. If you're interested, I can give you a bit more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supratoy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi there, I normally go to hong kong every 2 years, if I go next year it would be good to see an drift event over there. Are the event held in HK or China? Would be interesting to see the suspension set up you'll be using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loks Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Good stuff Tommy Although I have been around the ZIC in my old supra, it was however in no way with such style or speed Must be tough letting someone else loose in your car (I guess it was your car?) but saying that the guy seems to have some skills I'm impressed about the Aristo, as that must be a heavy handful - would love to see the actual end of that 2nd video the camera man seems to have messed his trousers.... Keep the video coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tommyhwchan Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 thanks... but the cars really had quite a lot of work done to it, so there is a cost to the speed and style. It's actually to the extent that we manufactured our own parts to spec. The Aristo also had tonnes of works to it too, i was on the camera for that video shot, the angle was soo absurd that i really thought he lost it, but somehow he saved it... crazy...
