[F.C.3S]

Welded diff?

You do know that cheap will bite you in the ass right?

[brainfood]

[cfrost]

I will be there.......... instructing.

can you instruct me how to drift with more FREEDOM?

(coming in 7 days)

[Uisce]

Welded diff?

You do know that cheap will bite you in the ass right?

Eh, a welded 240 diff is fine, as long as it is welded right. Clean the hell out of the diff, because you can't weld oil, and it will contaminate the weld. Then run a bead between the gears, but not too thick. Then cut some steel bar into little pieces that are the same size at the gear teeth and lay them between the gears, to fill the gap. Weld them down with the torch, and then lay more beads over the top (more filler) to fill the rods to the gears, and it should hold. Mine did in the old S13.

[Wei240]

i just hope it won't be a scorcher...

[powerjon]

i can vouch for uisce's technique. i actually own the car and still track/daily it 100mi a day.

[brainfood]

Mr. Miggles!

There are still spots open.

We will probably bring people in thru Gate 4 on Mill St.

[94cc0rd]

payment sent!!! please confirm

[LB.Motoring]

Perhaps I shall come pay a visit

awww mikieeee

that would be cool to see you man,

I havent seen you since you stopped working at the arcade.

[gotta240]

i was just told that this event will only have ONE course set-up....

Is this true? Please let me know asap, as i need to decide on registering/not registering.

[MrMigs]

awww mikieeee

that would be cool to see you man,

I havent seen you since you stopped working at the arcade.

The arcade is for fools! Good day! :fart:

[TheSquidd]

Course layout? One course? Won't that get crowded?

I might attend.

[mangoes]

can i pay at the track??

[gotta240]

Yea, i would think it would get crowded... Last time wasn't TOO BAD, but there were two courses..

[akuma s14]

well since all you guys are like " omg wtf only 1 course!" I will take some time to clarify a few things.

There will be a 3rd gear possible drift course. This will combine the two 2nd gear courses like voltron to make one awesome 3rd gear course. There will still be a gymkana course as well. (that makes 2 courses if you need help counting!)
The event will not be crowded because there is a cut off for registration.

Hope this clears up the questions that you had.

Terry

[ZenkitonS14]

The one ? not answered was how many spots are left?

[akuma s14]

If the registration is still [email protected] www.driftbuffet.com that means there are still spots left.

[DriftSpecS14]

bump for teh best events in socal. plenty of seat time. no lunch breaks just drifting! and tire shops right around the corners!


come on guys lets do the damn thang

[mangoes]

i just registered for the event, still wondering if i can pay at the track because i dont have paypal or know anyone who does. thanks

[yoko86]

bump for akuma s14 to clear things up. see ya all their saturday bright and early :2f2f:

[94cc0rd]

woohoo, got my welded diff put in today!! i'm super stoked for my first event with a seat and a diff!!!

Still no confirmation on my payment but I'm assuming you guys got it???

[mangoes]

ok i got a paypal account now but since i only have a basic savings account at bank of america, i cant get any checks so i dont have a routing number so i can transfer my bank funds to paypal. soooooo, im still wondering if i can just pay at the track?

thanks, please let me know soon. i dont want to show up on saturday morning and not be able to drive.

[94cc0rd]

PM terry and let him know your info and that you will be paying at the track.. I'm sure he can arrange it. I did that last time..

[Nismogirl]

count me in ill be drifting in the nissan cefiro... my car is not ready yet....

[TheSquidd]

oh em gee Nismo Nancy is going.

[xpl2007]

18th is Saturday...then El Toro 19th Sunday

[94cc0rd]

anyone know if theres a tire shop near the NOS center and how much they charge to mount?

[LB.Motoring]

Last time we were at the oval, they mounted tires on spot, but I dont think it will be the same this time.

[s13coupe805]

last time they had one of the storage containers there for tire mounting on spot

[brainfood]

there are about 5 tire shops within a block of the track. Onsite tire mounting will probably not be there as that is part of the oval and track facility.

[xpl2007]

used tires all over trust me...lol

[hitman]

im thurrrrrrrrr

[brainfood]

see you tommorow!

[94cc0rd]

omg i'm so tired... it was SOOO hot today... but sooo fun...

thanks bryan for the pointers..

nice to meet you tai (i think) - inlandsilvia...

awesome event!!

if anyone has any pictures, post them up!!

[cfrost]

awesome as always..... viva la buffet!!!

[Inlandsilvia]

outstanding event.

[akuma s14]

Thanks to all the crazy drivers that come out and braved the S.B. Oven for a great day of drifting. I saw a ton of improvement in several new drifters and even saw some old schoolers dust it off and kill the course!

Super cool to see Stephan Verdier and his RWD Subaru GDB competition car! Wicked Bad.

[qwikspool]

first event. had a good time:bigok: . it was too hot. but still manage to keep cool:coolugh: .

[mangoes]

first event for me also. had a blast. it was nice meeting new people and thanks for all the help. =)

[240esux]

super dope event!!! the high speed was really awesome. Good Job DRIFT BUFFET!

[dino619]

hell ya. I had alot of fun out there. I got alot better at my right hand turns too.

[DriftSpecS14]

bump for a great event!

[IchigoMae]

Im still exhausted from the event but i want to know when the next one is!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

pics pics pics.

[brainfood]

Thanks to all the drivers that came out. Especially the ones that let me steal their cars for a lap or two. Nice to actually drive a little bit since my car has been down for awhile. 3rd gear course def was alot of good practice for you guys. Hard to find a good open place to practice 3rd gear these days.

[drift-it]

lots of fun, lots of hot, i'm bringing a kiddie pool to rnd 6.

[drift-it]

here's some footy thanks to dan

[sideview_180sx]

if the fence wasn't there I would have made sure you guys would be entering in 4th gear. dammit for such a small parking lot!!!! miatas are fun, riding in verdier GDB was firiggin awesome. 5-car tandem was great. I need to make another wiring harness and get my ass out there. Screw staffing (JK)

[TheSquidd]

Well. These are the last images my Nikon will ever capture. Camera is kaput, corrupted images, deleting random files, shutter button seems to have a 3 second delay, no flashes work, random exposure, dirtiest sensor ever.

Anyway. Here's what I got for the hour the damn thing worked.

So how'd you like the car with the seats and the diff?

[94cc0rd]

it makes a world of difference...

i still spun out a lot... but towards the end of the day, i was able to pretty much link the whole small course...

i didn't know what i was doing wrong cuz i would clutch kick and initiate.. then i'd be sideways, then even though i stayed on throttle... my car would grip then i'd understeer until i either e-brake or clutch kicked again...

[drift-it]

drifting=clutch kicking

Sounds like you were letting the revs drop too low to keep the rear spinning. Give it another clutch kick middrift to get the wheels spinning again. Low power cars sometimes require multiple clutch kicks to keep the drift going. It's good practice to learn this because you have to do the same with turbocharged cars when you are off boost and waiting for the turbo to spool.

[94cc0rd]

ahh masss clutch kick... haha

damn i can't wait till the next event i can afford...

[cfrost]

also try turning in more to keep the rear coming out

[mangoes]

w000 thanks for taking the pic of my car (first pic), i think mark was driving in that pic tho hahaha but still awesome ^_^

[Markae86]

w000 thanks for taking the pic of my car (first pic), i think mark was driving in that pic tho hahaha but still awesome ^_^

I was. Sorry about that. You were doing good out there.

[brainfood]

damn i can't wait till the next event i can afford...

Yeah when I drove your car I kicked a couple of times in that course, part of that was me killing speed with ebrake to correct though when I miss judged the entry

[Inlandsilvia]

bryan...next time you got to try out my little bucket...you will have fun in it.

[brainfood]

bryan...next time you got to try out my little bucket...you will have fun in it.

Yeah for sure you should of grabbed me on sat. I was a car whore I was all over the place. I drove a couple miatas, couple s-chassis, 2 skylines a z33. I was all over the place.

[akuma s14]

car whore! LOL

from noon there were about 8 cars in each line for the rest of the day. That is the time to get maximum seat time, plus be getting help from high talent drivers such as Bryan Rogers / Colin Frost makes for quick improvement.

[mangoes]
