I just meant, why would they wanna get rid of that Z??

they were 450bhp Zs - there was a DVD of them performing for Lax Power once - pretty impressive stuff.

S14s better drift cars ?

S14s better drift cars ?

 

Think it's just the cost involved as the S14 parts are cheeper iirc

yep the running costs of the gearboxes was getting prohibitive and one of the z's was generating back pressure that was literaly popping the dip stick out lol

I thought they got s15's :confused:

 

I also heard they were routinely blowing the engines in the 300's

Mark Brand was one of them, he used to be on here, B12andy I think his username was?

As Andy said the guy in the blue Z is Mark Brand, I think that is Chris one of the other guys from the team in the car with him. They went for the S15's because they are easier to control when doing their shows the Z32 were a bit rear end heavy although you would not think it was a problem when you see them do their stuff. The prob with the engines they used to have was keeping them cool, doing dounnuts and drifting at the shows they were not getting enough airflow through the radiator, once they fitted upgraded rads it helped the problem, the gearbox probs were down to the clutch not lasting that was sorted when they started using the Helix ceramic 3 puck racing ones. It always amazed me that they would drive the cars over from Ireland thrash the nads off them at the show/event then drive them home again.

The cars started as auto's and they converted them to manual, Brandy's car had fiberglass wings and the rear hatch was fiberglass with perspex saved about 7 stone in weight. Had a short run in Chris's car at crail he was showing me how he gets it sideways he makes it look so easy, I am still hopeless at it though. Great bunch of guys.
