You camped!? Stuff that lol, we drove up each day. I only drove up Saturday then jumped in with my mate in his 180 for the Sunday.

Yeah other than the on and off weather and forgetting my coat Saturday it was awesome, some exciting driving.

Was at Lydden again yesterday. It was wet so it was a bit meh until it dried out. Final few sessions were good though. I drive shit in the wet and really well in the dry which is strange for an mx5 drifter lol.

Oh and i crashed in to my spun mate a bit.

Thanks! Yeah i like to think of drifting as nothing without the style that comes with it.
It's why the Japanese are so interesting to watch! They take pride in their cars and progressing with their driving. There are too many banger cars in UK drifting these days, i like to think there are a few of us keeping it attractive to look at.

I think i'm at one battle scar too many at the moment, i have a new wing in the garage that needs a polish, and i could do with a new rear bumper.
I do have a massive pile of parts to fit so keep an eye out!

They're good cheap fun, i'd recommend it. My insurance is £600 and i'm 20. So not too bad.

Got tagged in a few more photos also.

Looks promising I can pick one of these up in the next few months, can add a 2nd car to my policy for £193 (with aviva)

Might spam you with questions soon ( if you don't mind

)

Awesome! Yeah not a problem mate

Popped a non-crashed wing on and removed the side skirts. Looks better without them i reckon.

OllieVigar · 22nd May 2014, 13:36

...What are you doing with your skirts!?

They're for sale, £80 collected. Genuine Bomex, very minor scrapes on the underside and minor de-lam damage on the rears.

Get that sill painted!

OllieVigar · 22nd May 2014, 23:56

Mmm soo tempting as I would love a pair, but got tax end of this month, Santapod next month as well as MOT and my 3rd year anniversary the month after. You will sell them easy for £80!

Can't really remember where i got to.. but i messed around with the car for a bit in the summer, did some skids, lowered it a bit more, removed the skirts, general bits.

m11ler · 14th December 2014, 19:40

Had it like that for some time while collecting bits for lock.

Had a new subframe fitted to replace the bent one.
Stiffer engine mounts and washers to raise the engine.
Mintfab hubs.
S13 Driftworks braided lines up front.
20mm Superforma spacers up front.

Full TR Lane cage fitted.

Smashed my sump on a cats eye. The whole was so big the oil drained out pretty quick.. as in instantly. So didn't really trust just replacing the sump and sticking oil back in it, just for the engine to be ruined.

So sourced and fitted a good condition import 1.6, new gearbox and a 6 puk paddle clutch.
