The only guy I'd watch over there is Saito. He is insane
You may meet us for the next drift day Cian, get you onboard!!
We are planning a day around the 20th of May
I was talking to a certain someone about trailering the Mazda out and splitting the day between us, if I can get the cooling system sorted then the 20th of May could be interesting!
More than likely the one after that though.

This is just a day that we (As in one car) is organising
Place in Castlecomer called goldstone. €50 for the day and you have free reign of the track!
We can organise for a bit later to suit yourself as its always more fun with 2 or more carschallengemaster wrote: »Dai yoshihara

:P silly Yb!
I may tip along to that too!
There was only a "go" in it
I thought Cian was the only other drift fan about these parts!
You're more than welcome!
This is the track, small and low enough speed so not much can go wrong

I wonder if its the fact that drifting is car related stuff - I don't think the Irish are big into their cars tbh - generally speaking
And in all honesty - im as guilty as sin for not really taking much notice of drifting
Motorsport is not a big thing in Ireland, its a total shame.
Do you remember us winning the A1GP? I was ecstatic and then totally dismayed when the news didn't even report it!!!
We have huge names now across the globe.
I remember this being the run where the world went holy ****.
Darren McNamara (Now in FormulaD) when he was a relative nobody, drifting in Silverstone against Kazama (A drift God) in his famous Kei Office S15. Darren as far as I can remember had about one third of Kazama's power.
The whole place went mental with who is this chap that just put it to Kazama

Yet to be welded, it's had nothing done really since I bought it, other than fuel and a few laps of the estate. (Few goes on the bypass by lads with open drive)
I've sent it sideways a few times and it is dying for a welder, it'll go so well until one wheel catches more tranction and you end up VERY close to kerbs. Still, haven't even rubbed a wheels.
That track looks perfect to getting the basics down, nice and slow with loads of corners.
CHP, the Zed!
It may be Auto but it never changed gear anyway. 0 -

That mx5 is a cool car (I was one of the lads with open drive
) but it needs power steering.
Oh and of course I would bring the zed. I doubt the truck would fit on the track and the carina is just lolz. (A rwd conversion would be good though)0 -

It's like the e60 then, once you loose momentum at all it just tries to kill you by snapping straight
It's a concrete surface, so in the dry it's a tyre shredder but in the wet its like a skating rink. Literally to hold the car with any angle is almost impossible
The 300 is the only way to go CHP. It's one of these places that if you slap it into the tyres you just drag it out with someone elses car laughing.
Not like mondello or anything, totally relaxed and a great learning spot.0 -

Once that it tries to self centre when drifting your ok. That makes it much easier If not she'll be a pig on the limit
It does to an extent. I'd say it'll be a little hand full for what I've read online.
Great to learn in, very rewarding and when you jump to an S Chassis they'll slide for you like a piece of piss.0 -

You'll just have to help it on slightly
The friends s14 is crazy, into the corner and let the steering go. It'll pick up exactly the right point and you go with it. Just throttle control and slight changes to get the apex then
Impress and you may get a shot in it
So is this slowly becoming Boards first drift day??0 -
She'll steer back to centre all right, does have a habit of keeping the motion going right the way round so you have to catch it. Some track time and I'd say I'll have it well under control, just need that practice.
I'll do my theory work now so, try my hardest to impress. haha
Not sure how boards would feel about drift days but it's happening anyway.
Best not start a thread just yet. 0 -

Yep I'd say it'd be banned for hooliganism!!
I'd expect a small turnout
Wonder would MM put the 335i to the track. Door to door
I'd have brought the 535d if I still had it.
Still, should be fun in a zed too.
In the interests of not being banned I suggest that the organizer of this should pm a mod if they want it to be a boards thing! (Count me in anyway either way...., I've done some drifting but never on a track)0 -

Cian is still unsure of having his car ready as of yet so I reckon we should wait a while
Get a manual box while you're waiting 0 -

Oh it's in process. Cheapest quote I've gotten so far is £1200, and that's up north.
Looking around from a few reccomended places but they want double the price. It would be so much easier if I could just source a manual donor zed and do the change myself but ain't no way in hell I'm taking that on!0 -

Sure get a manual 300 and we'll attack it some evening I'm sure a few of us would help out!
The boxes in them are really strong and transferable to the s chassis's too. We'll be getting one once the sr one goes. Which isn't too far away going by the noise the synchro meshes are making :rolleyes:0 -

I wish it were that simple. Seen a "no log book" one for sale for £1k in the uk, but it's gone now. I didnt have the cash at the time to buy it.
To be honest, I'd rather not spend money right now as I'm saving up for my trip to the US in august. I expect to come back with something new and I'd rather spend my money on some new yank metal than on fixing a jap drift car.
It's on my to do list though, and cheers for the offer - might take you up on it in the future!0
