Start Over

I feel that its time for a new magazine for the drift/Car/Culture Something like a Aussie Version of Drift Tengoku.

I think its too early for that.

My problem with this drift mag is that its always out of date, its something like a month and a week being.

I enjoyed the last one that came with the dvd, however the content on the mag itself was too little. Ok, they had a smal review on initial d, some purple laurel review, japan and americans drifting scene, but for me its not enough for $9.
I have been buying drift battle since it came out and now its $9 with an old issue, but I already have that issue and prefer paying the old price.

The biggest issues were first and second.

If this continues I won't be a loyal reader for long.

I think they need a technical section, how to make a turbo spool quicker, whats best for response, what type of diffs should be used, etc. Also peoples opinions on how to drift their type of car and track layouts.

yeah we need a drift mag for all the fanboys with manga on every second page, and tutorials on how to drift a kombi j/k

errr no... how about more time, money and effort used to make sure the mags have something decent to write about when it comes to Aussie drifting, which is still in its infancy.

The only thing I read DB is to stay updated on what's happening in the world of drift in Australia (which i can do at the newsstand).

[eastcoastdrifter]

its quite easy to drift a kombi all you need is when you are about to hit the corner jerk the steering wheel while another cars hits you in the side to initiate the drift simple lol

Manga would be a good idea, also an in-depth view of Ueo's car.

Also I would like to no why I can't initiat a braking drift on my stock ae86 , it understeers so I have to give it gas after brake-heel-toe-2ndgear to get the tail out Is the lsd stuffed?

[funkymonkey]

I can see it now...

"How to negociate on a good price on your future AE86 with the elderly/senile in 10 easy steps"

followed by a 2 page expose on "Iketani and Kenji... did they really get married in Hawaii?"

followed by a DIY on how to change your AUDM AE86's diff using a toothbrush, a paperclip and some bubblegum

then a centerfold of Natsuki

and then enough softcore pr0n of Japanese girls to keep the fanboys isolated away in their toilets for hours on end.

Oh and it all has to read right to left, just to be JDM tyte.

By the way funky, is it legal if a car that you imported and I drove that car to sydney, are there like special licences of transport?

[eastcoastdrifter]

imported from where?

[funkymonkey]

you can get temp permits in all states allowing you anything from 24 hours to a months worth of travel (usually between 7am and 7pm) depending on how much you pay.

If you're in sydney we can just have the car delivered to you in syd for free from the port where the ship docks, as its part of the shipping service.

eastcoast, imported from Japan, I work for J-Spec, we import cars from japan, europe and america, mostly japan though. And yes, we import AE86's.

Good, my plan is to save up, buy a trueno, do a convertion and use the rest as spares.
