Winter Plans!

It's that quiet time of year, competition cars are being stripped down and rebuilt ready for the 2012 season, people are on the search for cheap missile streeto cars and new competitors like me are using this quiet time to get new competition cars up to spec!!

Even though there's not been much drifting happening lately, me and Sid have been busy treating our cars to some nice new parts!

I just recently picked up a 6 point 'Fabricage' roll cage and started stripping the interior down to fit all the required safety equipment for the BDC, I'm also picking up Z32 rear brakes to convert mine in the hope of a better handbrake.



Lots to do over the coming weeks, i usually try not to put deadlines on things but there was a practice day that particularly caught my eye on Driftworks recently..... Lydden Hill... full track... open pit lane!! Yes please! So now I'm aiming to fit everything ready for that on 7th January.

Sid bought some nice new shiny wheels for the JZX90 Cresta, thanks to Dan at SRB Power it is now sat on some 18 x 9.75j et20 XXR 527 wheels in black chrome!


Sorry about the dark pictures, winter is definitely here!




The Cresta is already running very good power and pulls like a train but Sid plans to get it on the rollers as soon as possible to see if anymore power can be squeezed out of it before upgrading more parts! The car also really needs new paint, we're thinking colours at the moment.... Brown????

Other drivers and teams currently beginning massive car overhauls include Paul Cheshire of Team Falken who just seems to be cutting stuff off!!!



Team TKS Worx also seem to be losing some weight off of Ian Waddingtons S13 although keeping their plans fully under wraps!


More to come on these projects over the coming weeks!!!
