    they were just big power slides

    yeah i will give drift a better shot in the new year, i really need to do a drift school or somthing cos i have no idea what im doing and would just love some basic tips to put me in the right direction.

    i'll be extremely happy if i can learn abit more about weight transfer cos no doubt that will help me in my sprint laps aswell. Goal for 2010 is to just enter as many practice sessions (sprint laps and drift) as i possibly can and try to get a better hold on this big sedan hahah.

    haha yeah i was out there for the grip but tried drift cos it was probably the best opportunity i'd get to try it without 250 spectastors (drift prac night).

    i don't have any more pics other than whats been posted in the thread in the SA section and in here.

    what time did you manage to do by the end of the day?

    ^cheers man. I'll probably muck around abit more on a private day first then try a drift prac night. I'd just like to be a bit more confident and neater before i start skidding with so many other cars around.

    - Santa came early today down at buddyparts and left a koyo tripple core radiator in my car. Should bring down my water temps i get on the track, i've already noticed the water temp rises slower just driving around the street and sits at 84-86 rather than 88-92. So seems like its done the trick and should be able to stay out for more than 5 laps at a time now.

    Pretty bored so thought i'd do a little update for those interested.

    Next few weeks i'm getting a buddyparts half cage done and a new velo seat. With that in mind, this weekend i decided to strip the interior so i can repaint the floorpan and boot area properly and so that its easier for nick to crawl around in it making up the cage. Cranked the wire wheel on it today to get rid of the remaining bits of sound deadner and tacky glue, tomorrow i'll prep wash it and hopefully post some pics of progress.

    EDITED with pics, looks nasty....scary haha. I will post more pictures post paint.
