02-01-10 Initial Drift Australia

The day had a million different track conditions, it hot and humid to start with, lots of cars were suffereing from the heat. I went through one set of rears, then the rain started.

This was the first time I have ever drifted in the rain, it was much different to what I expected, the initiation seemed to have bucket loads of grib, the when you throw it back and on the hand brake to the first corner, all traction was lost...

It was a good day, with a few pics with Mike from Ricochet :)

The dreaded Silvia....

Once again the Silvia is getting a new engine, since I have bought this car 6 months agom this will be the third engine..

I bought the car with a spun big end bearing, replaced it with a DE+T, turns out the car needed a really good tune, in the mean time I picked up a fully forged SR20DET to pop in.

I finally got all the ancilleries changed over and got the car running only to have it drop a rocker arm, did not brake anything, just fell off... Weird.

Getting Ready for Power Cruise Sydney 2010

Time and time again my turbo keeps falling off the manifold, last time this happen at Raleigh Raceway the leaking exhaust melted my ignitor, and a heap of wiring.

I have done nearly everything to try and hold this turbo on, I have to come up with something that will hold up to four days of track abuse.

I am welding it to the manifold some how...
