Thinking of going full retard with a Drag style spoiler: Thoughts??

AC is amazingly realistic, and unrealistic. There are certain cars and setups in the game that feel real good and others that are not even close. But I use a lot of player created content. I also dont know what a 1000hp D1GP car actually handles like but they are definitely way off the mark vs the Altezza. When it came to driving the Drift Academy cars, it took me one go and i had them dialed in. I was the only person to be able to do figure 8s by the end of the day and I was doing it in the lowest powered car there. Old Video from 4 months ago.

Oh shit yes, that was what I was hoping for!! No pictures yet as i have to find wheel nuts that fit. It all happened pretty quick, i bought the wheels suspension, and seat rail all within 6 days of booking the next drift day on the 27th haha.

Now we are at present day. I have a track day on the 27th, and I wanted to make some changes. First was the diff ratio is way long for the torque of the car. So I bought a 4.3 ratio LSD to fit. I also bought a seat rail to take an old Racepro I have kicking around Some tow hooks And these: 18 x 8.5, 30th anniversary 350z Wheels, +30 offset To go with them I also got some 6.5kg/mm lowering springs. No Pictures of them but just the finished product from today: Car still has Wof, and rego and the objective is to keep it running as a daily. Idea is it will stop me from ripping the motor out to put a V8 in it, and to keep it running on the most reliable setup for as long as possible.

In Car fun.

This story starts 5 years ago when i finished rebuilding my AE85 and i was invited to a C's Garage day at Meremere. Inexperience and lack of a solid half throttle tune resulted in one toast car, a broken wrist and discouraged me greatly. I decided then that drifting wasnt my Jam. 4.5 years later and the Carina is running and I decided to throw a track day for my birthday for friends. I thought id have another go at sliding cars, I didnt crash but i was greatly frustrated. I wasnt very good. Still had a damn good time though. Frustrated I racked my brain, when a chance discussion with a client he introduced me to racing simulators. So i sold some wheels, took a chance and bought a G92 and Assetto Corsa. After Bashing around on AC, an opportunity came up for me to go and participate at Sky Zhaos srift day. I took it to see how; A.) A properly setup car feels B.)If the simulation is even close to real life. I had fantastic fun, highly recommend if it is something you are interested in. A month or so later i needed a new Daily, I had given up on fixing the ST141 Corona due to child raring and work and this popped up. Factory RS200 3SGE - BEAM 6 Speed Manual 3.9 Ratio Torsen LSD Working Aircon, and a spare set of wheels on snow tires. So i signed myself up for a drift day.

Woah

I cant start a picture thread so I will add pictures from my Birthday Track day here: Synergy V8 FT86 SENTRA DAVE MORE DAVE

I was in a Pattern makers shop not long ago, its obvious by your skills that you are an experienced tradesman. Are you still pattern making for work?

Also forgot, this goes for Cert this week.

Its tucked up in his garage atm getting a birthday.

I bought some wheels for this to do Burnouts on. Pretty stoked! She Waits for September 16th

No Pictures, but I welded the diff, going to shove this back in the car tomorrow night. Also rolled the guards some more, raised the front 10mm, and discovered the rear diffseal was leaking on the drivers side making the brakes stick. Car will be going to Hampton Downs on September 16th, so will get some footage of burnouts then.

Yea its good aye, my mate who sold the car was pretty sentamental about it. I dont feel it is mine tbh, i feel i am just working on it for him haha

Nah Fender mirrors were fitted. Quite a few little things to tidy up, but this is low down on priority compared to fuel leaks, lock diff etc Skid Videos after the 16th

Discussion thread

First task major job I did was fit an accusump. I will be taking this to a track day in a few weeks and 3s' are known for lunching bearings when you upright them. Lucky I had one spare, along with left over AN fittings from the orange Carina I parted out nearly 4 years ago.

Edit: Discussion thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/53777-nicts-tt141-corona-discussion/ My friend Kaine was selling his TT141 Corona, With the Carina me and my old man were building nearly finished, i stupidly traded this for my 1uz Crown. I am now the owner of this It is fitted with; 3sge Gen 2 from a Celica Adjustable suspension front Falcon springs rear AE92 front shocks Powerdown Hilux rear shocks MX71 Cressida front brakes W55 gearbox T130 corona headlights Bosch fuel pump Surge Tank setup 14 x 8 front 14 x 7.5 rears (flipped centres) Nolethane all round This car was built during the GarageDori days and had been sitting in tucked away like a gem for nearly a decade. It has a reasonable amount of rust but im unphased.

Bring back variable length intake runners. Build variable length exhaust runners?

Still live in Farmcove? I just got my V8 crown back after hiatus for 5 years.

Special thanks to Liam who fabricated the diff and the Exhaust, was also there to talk shit an drink beers while I manhandled shit around in the car.

All my old photos got deleted from hosting, so rehosted them on Imgur, My old man in the background, we built this together, all started with me having a carina shell and going back to uni so I gave it to him, he decided to put the turbo v8 in it and the rest is history. See you oldschoolers Saturday 11th December
