hello all,

 

i'm tired to argue with people in France who says i'm stupid because i'm uilding a drifting Z. They are all telling i'm loosing my money and it's waste of time.

But i don't really see the point why a Z could not be a good drifting machine?

 

Any idea?

and no need to say sorry. lol i always respect peoples views. everyone's different an all that. did you see the state the red Z's in? lol bit of a sorry sight i think. thats why the engine (and its a good one) will be headed for the silver one. wish i still had access to a unit to do it in. it would have been done and MOT'd within a week. lol

Is it just me that thinks drifting is a waste of time anyway?

lol I meant sorry for having a conversation in a thread about drifting.

 

Yeah the red one looked pretty bad but I couldn't see the silver one properly. just good to see some other than mine though to be honest.

 

As for getting a unit, tell me about it. Drives me up the wall having to wait for good weather before I can do anything to the car. Tried to spray the bumper the other day thought it was nice and clear only to be met with gale force winds. Spent about 10 mins chasing newspaper down the road and then it started raining.

Is it just me that thinks drifting is a waste of time anyway?

 

Its a bit of a fad at the moment with the exposure it gets from films and computer games but there's no denying the skill and beauty of it.

i c. im sorry too. spraying in this is just not happening. i tried the other day on my minibus. trouble is its too cold to crawl under a Z for hours to get all the stuff off. still got to put the engine in the one on my drive too. the 2 down st.annes are auto (might teach the missis how to drive in the silver one) but the other's manual and im trying to get the bits together for a decent bit of power.

sorry again all.

So you'll have 2 good ones and one to break? Sounds good. Roll on the summer, cant wait to get the t-tops back off!

yep. well thats the idea anyway. the red one's whole shell is twisted and i wouldnt want to see it on the road. the silver auto has a rippled front wing but otherwise its very tidy.

and mine has stood for a long long time so it'll just HAVE to have coilovers, big brakes, etc etc. lol (dont tell the missis its fine).

lol I'll keep schtum. Good luck with it all.

There is even a 4wd competitior in the Japanese D1 series. I should know, my good friend over there is the team's sponsor! Check him out, the drivers name is Ohosato (nickname "Gengoro"), even got some footage of him drifting at an Advan meeting at Tukuba circuit...impressive stuff!

I thought 4wd was banned in D1?
