Furai Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Finally got the ITB setup in So got the ITBs and new head in, not much power difference in figures but peak power and torque have moved up in the rev range. Peak power is at nearly 8000 and torque is flat from about 5000-7000 before it slightly drops off. So took it to a drift day on friday and had lots of fun making heaps of Dooort noises everywhere. And heres a few of the clips I got, gearbox isnt the happiest at the moment but it fine for high speed. Just doesnt like low speed changes at high RPM like the 5 speed did. https://youtu.be/EioroBzzrW8 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furai Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Cheers man! Thought I better do an update So had my first crack at competition level over the weekend. D1NZ Pro sport which is the feeder series for D1NZ-Pro. Drove the car 3 hours down to Tauranga and my prayers were answered as it was soaking wet! I got in a decent amount of practice dialing in the car for the conditions. Sadly qualifying was cancelled as it kept bucketing down and there were a few crashes because of the standing water. I was only just linking the track nicely in the wet so I was a bit concerned about the dry. So we decided on 70PSI and I went out. Even with the short run up I was linking the track, not super well but enough to qualify in 14th place! I had wrecked my tyres in qualifying as I had been running them all day so I put on my daily Yokos with 80PSI in hoping the slightly smaller dia would help when following. I came up against 3rd seed Calvin Clark who knows how to drive. On my lead run I lay down possibly my best run all day which left me with a huge grin! Sadly on the chase run the rear was a bit too slipper and I was feathering the throttle and shallowing angle to try keep up which ended up with me losing. But Im still exetremely happy with how it went! So next round is in Taupo which is another bit of a drive but its a track I have done so I should hopefully be a bit more comfortable. Thanks to my mate Dave we have some outcar video and incar! Out car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTwn5-mFbOM&feature=youtu.be In car I have also made a page on facebook so I can try and get some sponsors because as I found out its quite expensive doing competition, if you could have a look that would be much appreciated. https://www.facebook.com/ThatGreenMX5/?fref=nf 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkoutnz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah I'm foaming hard, can't believe how honed your skills have become in that thing over the past 5 years or so I've known you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I've said this before, but keep doing exactly what you're doing! Watching low HP cars battle against the big boys is awesome. One day you'll have 200hp and be able to stick it with the 1000hp boys in D1. You shall be known as Keiranhiro Ueo. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furai Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Cheers man, hopefully Ill be able to mess with a few people at Taupo.

Popular Post Furai Posted April 29, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2016 Got to do some high speed drifting at Pukekohe and even managed to finish 4th in Pro-sport class(Theres D1-Pro and Pro-sport which used to be called Pro-am) Got clocked on several entries over 160Kmh and the highest I saw was 166Kmh on the radar list. Speedo is fairly accurate as it was showing 170-175 when I last looked haha We only get to drift this track once a year because of smoke issue etc but its amazing fun, not many places you can be foot flat in 5th on entry and just never lift from the start point 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
