Who's going? i'm going to enter this time, get out there in my open diff handicapped car and see what i can do.
will put up some pics of the latest round of mods i have done.
lets get a few more sprinters out there, last time was a fair turnout, hopefully it will rain again.
Henn, is your car running yet? i might have to weld up a spare S series specially.

$80 to drive, $10 to watch.
Yes you can drift anything. 4AC without super stiff susp may be tricky, but its a good way to learn. If he is having trouble I'd be happy to give him a demonstration.

i wouldn't bother turning up with an open diff because u will be wasting your time.
i went in my stock stripped out ra65 and its impossible to get the arse out and hold it out.

i have to disagree... ive been out in my open spinner and it was still a good learning curve for me and my car.....
u might not be drifting the best u could but u will still learn

I did however install all my suspension this weekend so it is super low and stiff now
I'll be there for a look see anyways Only started having drift days at calder when i was o/s now im back i def want to frequent them more (never been) and esp take part when my car is up and running with new engine.

4ac power is great. Especially if it rains (which it looks like it will). Trust me, its more then enough power (maybe even TO MUCH POWER ) when the track is wet at calder.
You wont be the only bum there

dont get me wrong when i say its not worth bringing an open diff car there.
If you want to have a good learning experience go for it, thats what i was expecting and i was happy with it.
But if your actualy trying to drift and learn something about consistant controlable power oversteer its rather pointless (unless it rains )

what is ppls experience with scrutineering? Do they look very hard at your car? I've seen a few ghetto rides make it on the track (and probably shouldn't have).
I'll be the stupidly low light green ae86 - say hi!

Scrotumeering usually consists of checking:
- Nothing loose in the car
- Brake lights work
- Seatbelt is secure
- Battery secure
- Nothing in the engine bay looks like it's about to leak crap everywhere (sometimes insist on a sock over powersteering resevoir)
- Occasionally valve caps on tyres
Basically it really isn't too bad, unless your car is uber-dodgy you're fine.

Well yes if you have a coke bottle or bottle for the overflow line to overflow into! lol i didnt last time so i had to just block it, they just dont want any fluid on the track.
Yeah empty the car of everything too or put it in your boot.
Im speaking from experience on the calder 1/4mile not drift, but i imagine it is much of the same common sense rules. as someone listed above

well you will spill a lot more fluid onto the track if you blow the top off your overflow bottle/radiator, but you gota do what you gotta do i guess.
what time did you get when you quartered your sprinter? i want to see if i can better your time with your old engine in my sprinter, every time i add a sensor (running smallport ECU) it seems to pick up a nice amount of power.
as for uber dodgy, they keep letting that turbo T-18 in, so i think everyone should be fine, even henn!

Oh yeah forgot you had my old engine well that has been through 3 hands your the 4th!
I ran a 15.71 but my 60ft times where appauling! i had really hard old tyres on the back and had to ride the clutch off the line in order not to light them up! im sure you can improve  no mods apart from Tseries 3.9 and pod filter, and the full exhaust which wasnt great lol

Hope to see lots of you there.

clayton, you sure it is 12mm? might be able to borrow one from work or make one out of a 12mm bolt. i'll give ya a call anyway.
i think that T18 is powered by a turbo 18RG with a misufiring system, at the last meet it spun ut and stalled, then when it re-started shot 4 perfect smoke rings out the exhaust, looked cool.

what colour was yours? i was there, never been to see "legal" drift before, pretty cool waaaay more entertaining than watching fords and holdens battle it out ont 1/4 mile.
Saw the "Tiger Hachi!" lol not bad drift at all! fark is it loud! The bronz sprinter with S13 wheels on the back was doing nicely i thought on the bigger track sounded sweet too Now i really wanna get my 4AGE in and hit the track bad!

AHHHHHH.... The wall!
Bbhahahaa.... that was fuked, dunno if any of you guys saw me on the big track, first 2 corners were alright but everytime i tried to enter the last big corner, i got really bad understeer~!
So after trying several methods to overcome this, i tried to feint drift into it..... eventually understeering into the wall. Just broke my head light and bent my bumper surpport nicely.
Decided i should pracice a little more on the beginners track with the other 86's. Was good fun, I did much better there.
Devolutio's Trueno Sedan is nice but i didn't get to meet the other 2 guys in the stock looking 86's. But the 1 with the s13 wheels was going good. And the other guy (asian guy) looked like he was having fun.
Good to see other 86's out there!
Was a great night!
Hope to see more next month.

ah is that why you were on the beginners track, yeah you held it nicely along that big corner, we got there at 7.30pm or so didnt see you on the big track.
Im definitely up for some practice on the small track next month so are my other 2 friends that have 86s too great to see so many out there! but after all it is what they are reknown for!
Oh BIG DON! wicked stuff VERY entertaining! loved the tyre popping too lol keep it up you were doing a mad job

Well i had a great night out there, I so can't wait for another 6 weeks to hit it again. next time though I wanna be there at 5pm to start, and hopefully Mr Shin can find me a little more of that elusive power 8<)
a lot of spinning out done last night, but also saw some nice drifts happening as well.
hope to see you all again soon 8<)

i'm aiming to enter next month, be it with a locked S series or a KAAZd T series. hopefully my king superhighs dont hold me back too much (or my low skill level)
will definately need a boss spacer, so i dont send my stalk out the window.
the gold sprinter was stock, did quite well!
and the tueno notchback had an interesting suspension setup, stock front, 8kgmm springs with tokicos on the back.
Big Don, nice work with the XF, i saw one guy go past and ask "is that the 4.2 litre" haha!
