more of you drifting......

[murran]

mine lasted the without any mech. issues.
im 309 miles 5 1/2 hours each way......

[Nelly]

If i do it - it can't be until next year though, got a new born due in the next couple of days so, anything soon unfortunatly is a no-no for me.

Definatly interested though - free beer and all that (who supplies it?)

[1an]

Ouch - 560 round trip for me, and the thought of breaking her on the airfield would put dollar signs in any recovery persons eyes.

Hopfully something like this will happen nearer to home

neil im, planning on going to the next one,

[Nelly]

I'll be looking at some thing next year tbh Ian, baby due this weekend

I'll get Danny+Kynder to come along for a weekend of it as well - i think between us all we could re-lay the air field in rubber, stand back, and crack up at planes trying to land on it and bouncing off

the next one is january, and im gonna take the mighty 316, with a welded diff plus i can drift it now on the open diff over the lorry park so on a mig spec it should be even better.

One of the main guys from TrampDrift brought a 316 to the first TDW and managed to drift it okish with a mig diff. He is at a fairly high level of drifting mind and binned the old 1.8 for a 2.5 as soon as he could lol.

i wanna put a 2.5 in mine asap but seeings as im only 18 insurance is a pain,

*Cough* dont tell them *cough*

definatly not going down that route.

[Nelly]

I've got a 3.91 Arc welded diff here - it'll rip your subframe out before any of the welds fail - not gonna use it as i picked up a slipper not to long ago, might come in handy for one of you guys? also got a small case open diff of unknowen ratio.

There was a guy at the Pod this year on the drift course in a Grey sLag 2 door with TrampDrift on the bottom of the doors - is this the guy your on about?

[1an]

neil, you know that diff

how much will it affect my acceleration compared to a 4.45?

[Nelly]

You'll be slower pull away but more top end, you'll also burn more clutch to spin up but not to much of a noticable difference tbh

It'll be heavier than your 4.45 as it's a medi case not a small.

[1an]

hmm, dont need much to spin it up as a good kick of second gear at the momen sends it sideways with a little bit of steering, probally best to weld up a small case as will be easier to change bettween the two etc.

[Nelly]

Very true, inter changing between med + small requires the out put flanges to be changed as well.

I'll work out the ratio on this small one i've got here + if it's any good for you, your more than welcome to it - - - - - - - i'll even try to get my mate Rick to Arch it all up for you.

[maxfield]

The Grey one at teh pod was 'MJG'. That would be the 2.5 conversion car.

aslong as its small case it will be alright and aslong as it dont make any horrible noises except for the axle tramp lol then ill drift the fook out of it,

[Nelly]

With it welded it wont make any horrid noises

[tailoutcharlie]

Nelly what you want for that medium welded jobbie

saves me risking my open one if i mush it. and who knows if it stil daily drives ok just leave it on.
PM me dude

[1an]

apparently driving on a welded diff isnt to bad and long as you remeber and dont go taring through bends silly quick

[tailoutcharlie]

yeah might tend to understeer unless you kick the ass out of course



not that i would condone such behavior or course

[Nelly]

You wont want it as a daily drive - trust me, it'll try to bounce your fillings out every time you slow corner or reverse park.

But on the other hand - an excellent piece of kit for the above mentioned tyre shreading action

I'd advise fitting it on the day - maybe, just maybe i'll be there to give you a hand doing it???????

Pm'ing you now fella.

Neil.

[tailoutcharlie]

I FECKING LOVE YOU GUMBO!

[1an]

ok neil, its a treck though but if others were going from over this way then i would be up for it definatly, plus i think im gonna put buckets in my car now and just go to a few drift days and have a good laugh in the 316 its not all about the power you know.

[tailoutcharlie]

this is why we all have rrd drive cars, looks like there could be a bit of a zone turnout for this one


woop woop





anyone got the booking details again?

[1an]

its an absoultute mission for us to get there, dont think i cold be much further east of this event.

[murran]

oooh yeh, so much fun skidding a tired old barge without an exhaust.

hi mate, first post on here?? looked good your 318 if a little rolley polley! lol!
did mine look like it rolled around like yours?

[tailoutcharlie]

jesus essex, see what you mean,


as i said earlier im about a hundred miles short of the place but if anone wants to drive over the night before their welcome to a spot on my front room floor

[1an]

would be an early morning start, my dad can get to swansea in just over 4 hours, so it would be like 6 hours roughly,

[tailoutcharlie]

just as long as the M4 stays open

[1an]

yup,

just realised its going to be bloody cold in january when camping!

[maxfield]

If I've passed my test, I think I will just be there.

But, camping in January, are you insane!

[1an]

a stripped out 2 door with bucket seats isnt comfy, so its gonna have to be camping, dont worry i have a 4 season sleeping bag,

[1an]

and Jamie its only like 3 months away,

[maxfield]

We shall see

But don't expect my drifting skills to be any better than wank!

[1an]

i can hold hold my car on lock - to lock - to lock at our local lorry park nicely covering about 100-120metres roughly then run out of room, dont takel ong to learn and thats on an open diff when its been wet and been only slighlty damp
