    Took the wagon to the Keto Drift day yesterday Was working late the night before putting the knuckles and LCAs out of Todds Te71 into this, and had to do an alignment when i got to Mere Mere, but that was all good. Borrowed a pair of A3As from a mate and spent the rest of the day trying out the new knuckles and trying to get my confidence up a bit, still need to work on that haha. There was a little bit of carnage though, with the castle nut that holds the knuckle onto the LCA somehow snapping the split pin and unwinding itself, causing an embarrassing drive back to the pits. Then after that was fixed, the next run i snapped an axel which ended my day. And while loading it onto the trailer, spotted some coolant at the bottom of the radiator, which i traced back to a hole in the radiator, unsure how it got there but will have to get a new one now. All in all a good day, with a fair few improvements to the car planned now. Discussion thread here ://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?showtopic=33618

    Not sure yet, a few people have expressed intrest, but will see what happens. Also, last night on the way to the auckland monthly meet, my back muffler decided it didnt want to be attached to the rest of the exhaust. Snapped at the pipe joining the exhaust. So will be getting it fixed tomorrow.

    After a shit start to the day with trailer problems and a few other things, got down to Meremere for a drift day. Spent a few hours and with a lot of help from a few people, got it running right at around 2 30. The new leaf springs have helped heaps but there is still a little bit of axel tramp at times, although i can now throw it round and it will drift/ swing os, a lot easier. Need to get more confident with my driving and do a few more things to the car, but i am a happy man. Also i hit the wall, but its only cosmetic so not bothered/will leave as is.
