you wouldn't be so kind as to post a write up on how to flare the guards like that would you?
It looks awesome.

Very angry looking.

[ae864age]

na man cant sell these wheels they are the only good ones i have at the moment, they are enkei ap racing wheels in 14x7 -2 offset, they are nice and i am happy with them, i got them off a chick in a ra60 celica. About the gaurds, well they look better in the pics than in person, all i did was hammer the lip up and pull the lip out with pliers then just beated the gaurd till it was round and then added some bog to finish it off, its a half assed way to do it but i am going to get some frp gaurds for the front anyway.

[slide86]

the guards look sick man.
mine are quite battered. i want to do what you have done.
looks tough.

so how are you achieving that camber?
ra40 controll arms give about 1 degree isnt it

[20vtouge86]

I did my gaurds like that too!! Not hard at all! All you need is some Pliers a Hammer and abit of bog mate!!!!

[Daniel-AE86]

if you end up being too fussy with putting bog on the guards and getting the right shape, youll never get it right.
Looking good http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

INSANE pics

[Jonny Rochester]

I expect to see you out there on 6th January then for the drift day. No excuss now.

Where those pics taken on a drift day, or a private pactice day? Because I didn't think you were allowed to drift unless it was a drift day???

we are now hav a number of half day practice days looking toward 8 or so in 2007 along side 3 or 4 full day competition dates which will be ran in a series similar to G1 as done in SA

the half day practice days are ran the same as a normal grip practice session...ie $55 for members
while the drift series will be subject to licencing and attract the higher cost of $100ish

PRIVATE drift sessions are still not viable in the eyes of MST http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/angry.gif so we'll just have to hang in there and hope they hav a change of heart soon.......

[ae864age]

Yeah I will be out their again, You should bring out the corolla Jonny, she loves it http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif , what car are you driving at the moment Delazy, I saw a very tidy white t18 today and just saw the back of the drivers head and I thought that might of been you.

[ae864age]

Went out to Basky again on the weekend, had wicked fun, I received the best rookie drifter award from Mark and Julie Simpson, very happy with that for my second time on a track, heres a couple of pics of the beast in action.

What turbo are you running? will you lower the compression?

[ae864age]

Yeah it sounded sweet http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif , Im just using a t25 I have for now, I am leaving the compression how it is on the na engine, I will build up the ze bottom end I have once i get the turbo setup working on this engine, hows your beast going, any news

[Antdragonist]

nice work man, congrats on it all.
might wanna watch that t-peice tho, the have been known to break off whilst in the block, which sucks, from what i've heard anyway...
might pay to brace it somehow
a search on tomods should reveal what happens and how to fix it.
lookin good tho, surely half of the sprinters down here are gte now or gte in progress!

[Gilly]

fuk i love this car

[stouty]

There some sick photos of you, you get some sweet angle there this car should be awsome turbo.

[harrygat69]

its good all sprinters should be twin cam turbo 4a or 3s

[ae864age]

Yes well I havnt done an update for a while, The whole turbo idea was a pain, stuffed two turbos trying to get it to run right, the 4age rejected them <_< , anyway its back to NA power for this car, just put a new heavy duty clutch and took it out to the track the other week and had some fun, the car is up for sale now so if anyone is interested send me a pm, I am in Hobart TAS, looking for $6500 with some spart parts.

this is a vid of the last day I drove it at the track, my cars in there a couple of time along with klusios turbo sprinter.
