Loads mate. Wembley was a competition went for drift allstars

But for practice I go all over, lydden hill Kent is best, Santa pod is good to learn and not far, I go Buxton in derby, Birmingham etcetc

Get on driftworks for all the info you need ;)

So the exhaust is pretty much there

Ordered some new pipework to finish off the tailpipes, won't be single pipe in pics..
Will run a single box and see how loud it is, tommorow in theory it should be coming of the stands and in a drivable position :D

The entire system has been made from scratch and consists of (in order);
Goes from a twin system into single after the X pipe

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

update

so latest update is both rear fenders are on, rear bumper needs trimming and a bit more trimming on rear fenders also....

then side skirts need to go on, ordered the m3 spoiler and trying to find the dtm flap as my source i had found is not getting back to me...

braided oil filter feed has bad leal where it was rubbing on manifold so wont road test it until thats sorted coming week...

tried lowering rear coilovers but still sat too high, now removed all collars padding etc so just the spring sitting in there.... sits low bbut once settled will give a better idea..

adjusted fronts today to a reasonable height, massive toe in on o/s front so badly needs aligning and a road test soon.....


then ill get the new adjustable poly bushed rear beam in with hydro (once i buy one) and take it to ODC final (if i qualify) on 28 oct and bdc license day 3rd nov for testing - not ideal to test under thos circumstances but hey ho.... will have to do :D

Update

Spoiler arrived today - just waiting on a front flat splitter and the Evo spoiler flap now then body is finished.. Quality of items are very strong and good but the fit is far from it so you will see up close it's not perfect!!

Although what I saved from a Bodyshop though by doing myself I don't care it's for skids not show..

However oil feed pipe being changed now and rocker gasket to leaks and lots of smoke lol

Finally got some pics of the system that we custom made from
Scratch..

Goes from twin, to X pipe, to Y pipe, to single pipe, 1 silencer and blast pipes.. Stupid loud so going to get some bungs for tailpipes

Awesome work on the exhaust and the car mate, do you have a pipe bender and stuff or did you just get the different bends on ebay or w.e?
