Well it sure has been a busy couple of weeks we’ve had. Wakefield Matsuri was done and dusted. All cars except Alex’s Silvia survived (1 gearbox and a drive shaft)but this was fixed over the weekend with spare parts we brought with us. My 180 i drove up and drove home again with Zero problems (new Matrix tune is unreal!! Thanks again Maztech! 7ltrs/100km !!! WTF???10ltrs/100km around town) The 180 had some teething issues(and so did i) since this was its first venture back on track since the 3 year rebuild. Tyres were the main problem (no grip up front), these are now going to be upgraded to Toyo R1R’s in the new year. I’ve currently changed the wheels to white Work XD9′s all round (running Federal 595 Evo’s up front) so i have a half decent setup until new tyres are sourced.
Vicdrift Members day was a good way to finish the year. A last minute spot opened up for my brother to enter his RX7 and along with a few mates/customers cars. in 2 hours of drifting they got more laps in than we did at the 2 day matsuri!! Was a great day and it ran really well. We managed to come away with a few battle scars, along with Gerald blowing his 3rd gears and Calvin popping his turbo.
Thanks Adam from Lazy Boy Photography for the pics
Also coming up shortly will be few spot lights on some of the cars we’ve completed in the past few weeks.
NA Silvia Project is also nearing completion. Wheels have all been painted and the car is almost together again. We will be bringing it out for the Hard Tuned Christmas Charity Cruise this coming Sunday!
