Drift day in the barge

Thu Mar 12, 2009 4:34 pm

Took it for a blitz up at santapod yesterday for some drift action...

Safe to say the shocks are completely shagged!!!

Spent half the day like this, while i ran to GSF to pick up another radiator, the old one exploded no joke!

3 wheels???

Kill it!

Good to see it lapping up the abuse. How much did you pay for it again if you don't mind me asking?

I think Phil said it was £150 or something ludicrous! Rads are a definate 100k service item, sounds like you had fun. Nothing like a slight calamity to get the adreniline going.

I payed £150 for it, then sold the steering wheel for i think it was £80 so it owes me £70!!!

haha when the radiator did pop i must have been the most embarresing moment of my life, first event i go to and 5 minutes into it, infront of everyone the coolant goes like a fountain out of the engine and covers pretty much everything in a 10m radius!

all i have done to it was weld the diff and strip it out, and thats already taken 3000 miles of abuse without fail!

i always get asked the same question by people, what happens if it breaks.....i dont really care if it does......the amount of times i have binned it is redicoulous, as it just laps it up! example i hit a deer (hence the broken headlight and idicatior) but the car was fine, i even turned around and ran it over again to make sure it was dead!

to say i love this car is an understatement!
