If anyone has any pics of my car let me know!

i had such a damn good time, even though every time i slid off the track i managed to go through every puddle/lake that was out there. i’m sure you all saw my car, which looked like a rally car.

i did link the last three corners though, which was probably the best feeling in the world for me. haha.

also… if anybody has photos of a black hatch with white and black advans, i’d love to have them!

lol i had fun hence my wiring harness issues…kept sliding into the puddles. is it just me or did almost everyones exhaust fall or was hanging… lol cause mines was

This was probably one of the most destructive shanny events I went to. It rained so much the night before. The track was soaked when we started in the morning and when people would go off a lot of water and dirt came on. I flew off turn 1 hard 3 times. Or turn 0 as other people call it. Next event has to be at fabi or I am not going!!! grow some balls kids

i’m down with fabi!

Yea i m down with fabi, never tried it yet. Names Harmit.

Outta all the guys that weren’t pro, i gotta say Chris ( Keez) was destroying corner 0.

I didn’t drift the last corner all day, cuz of the stupid rain. My line was wet almost the entire day. ahha. Shoulda adjusted, but i was lazy.

Fabi, Do it!!!

Well. Woke up with bulges and bumps all over my back. Guess I hit a lot harder then I initially thought.

Thanks to Chris, and I think Mike that stopped to see if I was okay.

It all comes down to me being an idiot. And of course, new.
I went with the intentions of drifting. Which I had a feeling was a bad idea, and that I would not enjoy it. After spinning out and mashing up my car in the water/mud/grass and flying across many holes. I said fuck drift.
Started to try grip. Started off slow. Picked up more and more speed every lap.
In my opinion (which stands for shit due to my lack of experience) I went with the wrong diff(welded) for grip. The track was seriously cold. Wet, full of grass.
All that mixed with my inexperience was an appetite for destruction.

I have mad respect for a lot of you guys. Seeing you all own the fucking track…drifting or not. In an essence. I did have fun for the short time I was there.I left early because the pain was getting much worse and I still had to drive home.
I think, the only thing I’m pissed about besides the obvious. Is that my car was in pretty good shape. Now, after a somewhat thorough inspection…basically lol. From the drivers front corner to the passengers rear corner plus the exhaust…all has damage.
I hit that barrier so fucking fast I had no idea which way I was facing. Just glad I managed to get the ass end to hit rather than the front.

Next time, if there is a next time. I’ll go prepared to do what I want to do. Drift or grip. Maybe take some pointers from some of y’all.

All I know, is I had that first turn before I spun. Was doing (last time I looked) 135km. Finished the turn. Straightening out the car, I hit a chunk of grass or something because I felt the rear right pop up. She kicked, I ended up bringing her back way to fast and she kicked the other way. Caught the edge of the track and the grass. Slid across the track and by then…I was bracing myself and trying to get between the trees and the random barrier that had NO BUSINESS being there in the first place! LoL
But whatever. Im done telling my stories.

Y’all wanna talk shit. Do it in a constructive manner so I can learn. Seriously lol.

Peter. STOP!!! feeling bad. seriously dude.

Damn Chris, Sorry to hear. Didn’t see the incident, and not sure if I spoke to you before of after it happened. Get well man, you’ll own it in time. Just don’t stop here man.

btw, some pics of my car at the track, no action shots! boo.

Feel like im slowly improving…need more practice!!

Chris you were doing alright up until then. Don’t get discouraged tho. I didn’t get a chance to talk to you after the incident either.

Santi, where dem pics!!!

Hey mike how was the new car treating you man??? Good shyt??..balls i cant believe i didnt make it out…

Sick! Love it. Track was really wet in the morning, by the end of the day I was taking the last corner pretty good. Not like the other dudes killin it, but I was impressed with myself none the less. lol.

blew my motor at the track, 4 laps in and had the motor in for just 2 months…so brutal but great to see some everyone tearing it up :slight_smile:

Keez, those are all yours to do with as you please. Glad you like them.

Em_5ive and 24oSX I have a disks of your cars, just not sure how many… if only a few decent I’ll post them up, if there are lots… they are available as part of the S1DC fundraiser.

more pics of peters car please

Let me know im interested in seeing them!

I knew you was behind me for a bit. Then I lost you…or you lost me. I was trying to watch you, along with everyone else. But everyone was drifting! LoL

I did have fun, despite my car letting me down hardcore.

OH! And the smoking from my car. My PS reservoir over filled for whatever reason. Intake sucked some PS in. Still running a bit rich. Got to clean the MAF.

I talked to you way before the accident.

anybody got pics of my green s13, ?? would love to see them
