    Had a MASSIVE weekend

    Went to a Drift Matsuri 2 day drift event at Winton Raceway, 220ks out of Melbourne.

    Towed the car up Friday night using the R31 and the drifting kicked off Sat morning

    Got lots of good track time despite a few cars having minor and major bingles out on the track.

    Sat action was on from 10am till 10pm. with the night session being very... umm.. interesting, with lack of illumination provided had to guess where some corners were

    Sunday provided some rain in the morning which quickly dried up after it stopped raining and the 30deg heat was setting back

    Action finished at 5pm on Sunday

    The flow around the track was amazing with only 1 slow point and no start line which meant you could go lap after lap in your class without having to line up and wait.

    Car performed flawlessly all weekend and i did not even bend any tie rods even though i had a few hard offs and bounces across ripple strips

    now on with the photos

    its all fun and games scraping the road until this happened last night





    i was driving through some road works and hit a huge bump out of nowhere

    torn out the sway bar from one of the mounts and broke one of the sway bar links, smashing the sway bar into the sump and cross member

    had to remove the sway bar completely and wind up the coilovers for the drive home, coz the sump was looking very much worse for wear

    lucky no holes in the sump, so i babied it home

    a wee bit lower

    needs more poke, hopefully S14 arms in the front, and less camber in the rear will fix that

    Under the front

    21mm socket wedged under the sway bar

    that wasn't drifting, it's oversteer with style

    went to a drift day on the weekend didn't have the best of luck, rubbed through the wiring loom and shorted a fuel pump fuse, bent a tie rod and then snapped it later in the pits

    so not many photos of sliding on the track as a lot of time was spent fixing issues

    i want to get a kouki front lip, but i think i'll destroy it within 1 week

    so currently going through different ideas on how i can reinforce it
