Branners Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 All sounds good, if theres a club stand anywhere then once I have finished sucking at skillz and qualification is over, I can dump the car on the club stand and start getting pished with everyone What day is the main drift competition on? I think we would look at a club turnout for 1 day only as a 2 day event in April will be a mudbath. Jason, are you one of the organisers of the ISTS show?

The BDC event is on the 10th, with pro-drift on the 11th I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The BDC event is on the 10th, with pro-drift on the 11th I believe. So the 10th April is the one to be at then? And then those who want to stay the extra day can, and those who forgot their wellies can make their way home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Branners, I work for Auto-Media who organise the Autoglym Best in Britain Competiton at the show, but we also help the organisers on the rest of the show where needed. According to the track timetable, The BDC qualifying rounds are all day on the Saturday with the Final being held on the Sunday. I'm pretty sure that Prodrift aren't there at the weekend.

If I can get confirmation of which day the BDC final is then I will try to get a stand and a group of Supras there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The BDC final is on the Sunday. (But obviously the time tabke may be subject to change) All details about the show and booking a club stand are in my thread in the National Events section.

Suprash Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Jason probably knows more then me around the actual timetable, all I get told as a driver is 10/11th April, we won't receive our email giving a breakdown of the format until nearer the time.

Kirk Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 What power you going for now mate. mid 400ish? Pretty sure thats more than you will need for drifting.. Seeming as you have gone with the r154 i suggest you replace the 1st gear thrust washer with either a new 1 or an uprated 1 as there proun to failure especially if there abused and seeming as your drifting it will see a fair bit of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Well Marcus has been hard at, but now she is feeling like progress is finally being made, I'll feel a lot happier once we have an engine there, but now she is starting to look like my car instead of just a shell..... Pics are a bit dark, but the white we chose was Audi white, I wanted to use the current BMW white, but when we looked at it it didn't look white at all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) An update on the management, spoke to Matt today, to keep things simple and cheap, he thinks its best we go with the AEM FIC over the stock NA ECU........ Means everything will run off the stock loom Gav ;) Although I still need to find A cheap FMIC A set of front coilovers A small aftermarket steering wheel So if anyone knows of these parts about Send'em my way please.....

Suprash Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well picked her up from spray today, he still needs to flat it back and polish it yet, and tidy up some edges but it's just a days work fettling. I really wanted to stick the black rotas on her but didn't get time before I took her to AFR for the engine swap. The bonnet hasn't been sprayed yet, it's actually dark purple, but gives you the idea of what it will look like with a black bonnet. Also we was worried that having a black to white cut down the rear wouldn't quite look right, so we thought we would try something to break the black and white up a bit.

I'd love one but there mega ££££'s You not a fan of the checks? They might look a bit prominent at the moment, but once you have wheels, stickers, door cards etc, I think it's going to look pretty good sideways, I can see it already I don't think it would have looked right with just s hard line where black meets white, more like you couldn't be bothered to do anything. Keeping the car road legal Ash? No Jamie, I'm trying to retain as much stock features as possible though, inside she'll be stock interior from the front until behind the front seats, after that she'll be stripped. Lighter arse and all the weight up front, plus I belive you couldn't build a dash better, after all i won't be looking forward at gauges or dials like those digital dashes, give me some window wipers on my side windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
