Don't be nervous dude... If it makes you feel any better, I'll probably be out there for the first time in ages - this time with a lot more power so it's gonna be back to square one!
You gotta start somewhere, and if anyone puts shit on someone out there giving it a go, no matter how crap they are, they deserve a kick in the head.

Ill be there again , This time in my Hachi, but still a carpark drifter   .
Hey Kaan, Dont worry about being a 4AC, One of the regulars out there drives a 4AC with LSD, and drifts really well, able to link some of the turns better than those with more powerfull 86's, so its all about skill really, power just lends a helping hand.

i was only told about how the battle looked between me and the RX7, id love to see even 1 pic so if anybody could oblige it would be greatly appreciated. the pics from my mate wont be ready for a while.
TA 022; yeah i was told about his lack of drift and somewhat disreguard for safety but i gotta admit, the bloke accepted his loss in a very sportsman like manner. shaking hands without an excuse he just accepted defeat. very fair of him.
although we were told by the marshals that proximity was not among the factors that would be looked at with regard to the judging of the battle, so his apparent disregard for this safety measure did not go unnoticed by many ppl.
Jesse; that was the first T18 ive seen on track and i though you did pretty well, was it your first time on track?

Yeah, it was a pretty good night, with a good turn out of cars, And to see Cathrine out there settling into her s13 for the IDA day down at wakefeild was an added bonus. For a small person she sure knows how to throw a car around, shame she only had one pair of spare rims for the weekend though.
Saw huge improvement from Cam and Jesse, and much respect to Steve for the win. Thats at least 2 86's going to the final i think. 
There were more than a few people following close that night. Considering there were so many beginners, it was a bit dodgy. There were a few times when the crowd held its breath, waiting for the multicar pileup.
Hey Kaan, How was my effort at telling the auto electritian what was wrong with his lights! I think the cold air down there was gettin to my brain, made me a bit slower than usual

im not so sure about that mate. if you were referring to the 4A-C sprinter who battled the previous twilight night, he bent an axle of a JDM rear end that night when his wheel collapsed. Although he qualified, we are unsure if we can get his axle fixed or replaced in time for the street masters event.
i sincerely hope he makes it.

Yeah, hopefully the final will be dominated by 86's, including members of the thong wearing (the kind you put on your feet  ) "Dirty Ibis" clan, and John if he gets his axle replaced.

Man, go lowered if you can get the cash together. Cut springs are so dodgey, and they wont be any better in terms of stiffness, so they might suck even more on the track.

Hey the car in your message looks like my car except the tints and lip, and mine has 4WD tourbus style suspension
Kaan, I dont know of many, but Kings is pretty cheap, Im thinking of getting a set of fronts until i get my coilovers sorted so then i can at least use the rear springs i have.
They will make them to order, just pick your rate and height. at least thats what i have heard.
