G'day guys, if this is in the wrong place please move

My name is Simon and I am a drifter from Australia! I have been drifting for almost 10 years and the story is that Drifting in Australia started in Adelaide. Danny 'Denzo' Vahoumis was the pioneer followed by a small group of people, myself, Christian Pickering, James Mardle and a few others.

From then I have owned many different cars, several Toyota Sprinters, Nissan Cefiro, RB25Det 4 dr R32, SR20De+t Toyota KE70 Corolla and currently an RB25Det Nissan S14 Onevia.

Check out some of the info and pics below. I will use this to upload vids and updates from competitions entered ect also.

Here is a link to my build thread on (Nissansilvia.com) - Automotive Modifiers Network (Hardtuned.net) (there are 30 pages, so too much to repost here!)

S14 Onevia Build Thread

I've had a bit of bad luck with the car as of late, blew 3rd doing backwards entries at the 2nd round of our State series during practice so I didn't qualify as well as I wanted (came 3rd in the first round so a bit of a set back for the championship this year ), then had to source a gearbox in 3 days so we could drive the car and get it ready for the 14 hour drive to Sydney to compete in the International Drift Challenge as a part of the World Time Attack Challenge.... which I unfortunately blew the RB25

So, I have a week and a half to get the new motor in and running before one of our fun track competitions which will be a bit of practice before the first round of hopefully Australia's new drift series - the Australian Drifting Grand Prix in Melbourne (8-10 hour drive)

I will attempt to upload some more photos and info of the build as I go, but it will be a long process!

And now some history! (copy and pasting cos I'm lazy!)

August 2009

Tried as hard as i could to keep this under wraps.... but goddamn adelaide is too small and many people already know already. so..... Heres a build thread for the new car :D

I'm bringing back an old Drift car from SA... and this time its going to be driven properly and harder then the previous owners did ;) This is Madcaps old car and i plan on building it and driving it into something more of an animal that it was back in its day ;)

For those of you tuning in late.... i used to be into sprinters (owned 3 of them) then got me a ceffy from Darren Appleton. which i absolutely loved. going to longer wheel base really suited me and i threw this car around like all f**k... even won a comp in it and it was the most basic set up car you could ask for... had coilovers... lsd... 200 rwkw and that was it lol.

then i got the 32. spent some time and money on her and it was also an awesome car.... served me well so reliable and i still have it too! was so so so so much fun to drive and i never broke anything on it.

needed to buy a house... this meant selling a car... could not sell the 32 so i sold all the parts off it and turned it back into a street car. bought my house and the drift bug was still there so i built up my daily KE (didnt need a daily any more cause i got a work van then) the KE turned into a bit of an animal and came out quit well. However every time i drove it i just wasnt happy with it or my driving. i kept changing stuff but i got to the point where i realised that the snappy nature of the KE didnt suit my driving style.

soooooooo.... i sold it! took a week to sell and i couldnt believe it haha.

yes my shed looks like a bomb site atm... thats another work in progress also.

the gay blue is going... it will be painted ATC red (same as my rolla and jakes car) All Type Crash and AM Performance will be backing me and expect decent things! got an RB25 with a 3037s turbo kit, high mount manifold, hks gate and screamer happening.

so yeah.... feel free to comment.
