what happend to it? :confused:

[ericcastro]

Yeah Gary,
I think my car needs a break for regular matenance. We are doing so many events, I cant get ahead! lol
i will go and staff and shoot, but maybe not drive,

Guess we will have to help everyone else get more seat time so we will have enough for HTM again :)

[Suk02Si]

what happend to it? :confused:

The gasket between the manifold and the turbo blew on the last run, that's why it had no power. The gasket after the downpipe blew when two of the bolts loosened up. Plus, I've been meaning to make a better battery mount, reinforce the front bumper support, finally get some subframe spacers, and fix my driver side headlight. I just haven't had time to do anything because of all these epic events.

[AbsoluteZero]

Hopefully I can make it out to this one! My car is fixed! Now I just gotta make sure I don't work that saturday

[Sliders562]

lol! 626DRIFT CREW FTW!! lol jkjk

if you got ballz..HIT UP HTM!!!...but i guess theres not that many ballz around here...soo sad =( j/k:p

we sould really get the two events together and do something (HTM)....or maybe something like...the winner from Touke event VS. the winner from 626Drift event and compete!!

[Blackparade]

ohhhh.....Well thats the word on the street....
I dunno... i heard it was gonna be touke's best 5 versus 626DRIFT's best 5 at a two day event/competition. Day 1 balcony...day 2 HTM...

[240love]

that would be sick....u guys should do it

[SUPERSTAR]

Competition is always great!!! As long as you behave and carry yourself like a real sport. Because there is nothing worse than to ruin a good thing over a hot head.
We build these cars to compete and that's what you do when you drift,grip,timeattack,drag,street or show.

It just makes a world of difference on how you do it.
Eyes are always watching and do not wanna put the word DRIFT and VIOLENCE together for the media to have a feast on.

Not saying that's what people are thinking, just been there and done that!
Nagativity in your activity will always close doors.

It would be great to see....:2f2f:

[ericcastro]

I put it in my sig cause thats what I had heard. Not like a gnarly touge battle, but a friendly comp to push people a little harder. with light bragging rights :)

I thought DRIFT626 and TOUKE were getting together to cut the cost of HTM down??

[Suk02Si]

I thought DRIFT626 and TOUKE were getting together to cut the cost of HTM down??

Bragging rights is the best reward to a win. trophies and plaques are nice but, winning and bragging? awwwwww simply the best!!!!:)

[Sliders562]

not all of us in touke aren't htm experienced like 626 = (

[Blackparade]

626 guys only have a couple of hours under our belt. and the guys who will be competeing were staffing anyway, so that cut down on our track time.
I agree.....its a friendly battle. Just a bunch of guys having fun, driving the crap out of these cars we busted our asses to build....
if it happens it will be so much fun!!!!!
plus...who doesnt want to see 626 guys join forces with touke to rent out the sickest track CA has got to offer!

[SUPERSTAR]

True That!!!

[ericcastro]

double true!!!

and like stated above. most of us were staffing and shooting photos. i was just starting to figure it out when it ended :( I was grinding gears, over ebrakeing, shifting into second too early, and dirt dropping the entire front end.
So, you touke guys will catch up no prob. plus we can help with what we have learned,speed it up.

[Skullavera]

I'll make it out to a 626 event soon enough...not this one though. Bills pwn me!

[Sliders562]

the 626crew and touke will combine later in teh future.. i am busy with sponsorship progression but as soon as everything foils together it will happen this year so hold on ur horses.. and practice and practice.

don't undo those zipties yet....

[ericcastro]

Dude, super stoked !!!!! even if this next HTM isn't the "battle" event, we should still get some TOUKE guys out there with us!!

And when the neighborly "battle" happens, we need stickers that say DRIFT626 VS TOUKE TEAM BATTLE I think they should go across the front windshield, bottom. And for those competing, they should be a little different than the others that are just running at the events!!!!!!

It could be a annual event, like zip tie!!

[Sliders562]

hey hey u know we can't compete with zip tie they are the true king of events.

Brian is way hyphy then us ^_^

Zip Tie PwnS uS!

[Blackparade]

hell yea!!!!!!!
HTM!!!!!!!
Get some touke guys up there to get some experience, its gonna be so sweet!!!!

[ericcastro]

Oh, for sure. But Zip Tie doesn't need to be the only annual event. us smaller clubs can have our fun too :)

is there even parking room at zip tie?? I'm super hyped to see that event!!!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

you can call it:

"So Cal Showdown"

or

"Backyard Brawl"

Come on lets go!!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

going to help at the boso opening. same day. or else i really was planning on going! hopefully next time!

[onyxaltezza]

Really quick:

Ive never been to a DriftDay or any other drift event(because my car is not yet properly setup for it), but generally if at one of these events lets say, someone blows their diff, how do they get back? Ive wanted to take my car to a drift event forever but low and behold, my diff just blew, and no $ for LSD so I'll be open diffing it for a while....

Anyways is it an absolute necessity that we run with LSD? Id like to open diff it and see how it goes before I get a new tranny and decide what LSD Im throwing into it. My car was built for anything BUT drifting, but Im going to give it a shot anyways since some of my friends have had a lotta fun with their SW's...Im also in 626 area, by the way. Rowland Heights!

-Aaron

[240love]

its not a necessity to run lsd but open diff isnt fun..get it welded atleast

[Suk02Si]

Yeah, open diff is worthless... you won't have fun. I have a buddy in Azusa that can weld it up for you. PM me if you need it done.

I drifted on open diff for about a year. It is possible, and its not that hard. You just need to be really aggressive with steering inputs.

[onyxaltezza]

Well thats why its so hard to hold a slide in my car. Cant get extreme angle, nor can you do much weight transfer b/c of oversteer. And it also seems like you guys have never driven a MIDENGINED car with a welded diff lol. Its freakn horrrribbbble. So yeah welded diff isnt an option. Just saving up for a Quaife later on but I wanted to try it with an open to see what its like and how hard it actually is. Plus Im boosted and if I go to the event I'll just run 215s or 225s in back? Right now Im running 255 Bridgestone RE01s in back so obviously that wont work for drift haha.

Are there any other MR2 drifters you guys have seen around? Im pretty sure lately therse only been one more guy going to the events (he's n/a, his car is dark turquoise)...

-Aaron

[Blackparade]

none that i have seen.....Your bigest problem is going to be the snap oversteer. youll be able to initiate into the first sweeper, but your gonna find it almost impossible to transition towards the ring because of the weight of the rear end comming around so fast. If your ebrake works then you could initiate, then almost straighten out completely and use your ebrake to transition, then stay on the gas. But it should be lots of fun!! come out!

[ericcastro]

i would think a welded would be better still. even with mid engine. You will probably just have to beat the steering wheel when transitioning.
with an open diff, the unpredictable stick/slide of it will make things so much harder to prepare for. like transitioning, sometimes itmight straighten out, sometimes it might stay loose.
with a welded, its always loose :)

what you think Mark?? make sense?

wow wow wow...

you said nothing about an MR2 in your previous post. lol.

forget what i said. i know nothing about those cars. haha.:-/

[Blackparade]

Actually he did carl....SW's=MR2
Yea castro it makes sense, but in an mr2, you have to drop the trans to access the diff. So thats why most just wait till they can afford what they really want in a diff.....But like you said, ultimately it will still be better than an open diff for drifting.

[Equinox]

Confused...so is there going to be a 2 day event that includes HTM? You guys going to be drifting only on HTM? Any room for grip drivers? :)

To the SW20 owner -- as a former sw20 owner, I can tell you drifting that car with an open diff is damn near impossible. Even once you get an LSD, it will still be difficult and you simply cannot get big drift angles. BUT!!! That's not to say you won't have fun trying at the track =P

[240love]

drifting for feb 2nd is balcony only..the 2 day event is the following month correct jxn?

[onyxaltezza]

Yeha I get what you guys are seaying...but welded diff on an MR2 puts a LOT more strain on the drivetrain than it would on lets say an FR car like S13s S14s, etc...and people go through brand new sets of tires like every 15K miles...not something I can afford. Anyways I just foudn a non LSD tranny for $100 so Im going to throw that into since my diff currently is blow, and then save up for a tranny with the stock viscous LSD in it, even though that still runs $1100ish.


Another thing is yeah the angles wont be all that, but thats why im going to start attending these events. People that Ive seen accomplish drifting an MR2 well, can pretty much drift anything else out there, and thats my goal ;D

You guys should check this out, no one on earth ever thought this was even possible...DROOL. The dude is freakn amazing.

Anyways the term HTM refers to Horse Theif Mile right?

[Teddy]

My clutch is starting to slip now... :(

[karl wasabi]

Thats a pretty cool vid. I have never seen an MR2 drift before in person. Well I have never seen one drift well. lol.

[onyxaltezza]

My clutch is starting to slip now... :(

Go with ACT!

BTW Ive been meaning to ask you guys also what TYPE clutches you guys use? OEM replacements from Exedy or ACT? Clutchmasters? Or do you guys prefer puck types? Lightened flywheel help with response during transitions, etc?

Ahhhh I cant wait. But Im scared to go hahaha. Boosted 16 Year old car is like a ticking time bomb. Wonder if my car will even MAKE it to the track itself hahaha.

-Aaron

[Teddy]

Go with ACT!

Man, I don't even know what to do. I think I'm just gonna go find a KADE and tranny, and swap it in soon. Then I'll go with like a stage 2 or 3 Exedy or ACT for when I slap on my turbo.

hahaha its a little different though. boost = unreliable. sigh.

As far as Ive seen in person and heard from people I know, SR20/KA-T is wayyyyy more reliable and has way less problems than my 3SGTE motor ;[

Plus stuff in the engine gay is so easy to acces in you guys cars. HAHAH. Hate working on my engine. Anyways Trailoring is not a problem. Just gotta find something to tow the trailer lol. Still lookin =D

[Suk02Si]

so far, i got one person signed up, whats up?

I'm not going to make this event. My car is in CHP impound right now and I dunno whats going to happen when I get it back.

[240love]

what engine you want to wire too??


hey eric..rb20 and yes ive asked mark lol

[ericcastro]

lol, I know some info on wiring it to DOHC engine relays. But a RB20 probably has something different.

Is there a electric AC fan that kicks on when it gets too hot, maybe you could wire to that??
Or you could put a temp sensor in your radiator line and wire to that.??

making any sense? lol

[240love]

sent u a pm eric

[sijia10358]

just wire it to accessories...so when you turn your car on the fan will come on

[s13coupedrfter]

see ya there shane!!!!!
You guys get to witness my engines big bro in action! woot woot

hey mark not to go against Rb at ALL but do you think VQ is to much work??

[karl wasabi]

hey mark not to go against Rb at ALL but do you think VQ is to much work??

VQ is a fuck load more work. Like you have to mod everything. I remember mark said you only have to cut like 3-4 wires to make the RB work.

I know where you can get a VQ really cheap. My friend has one he was going to sell to me. VQ35. yummy.

[Blackparade]

if thats what you want, go for it....You could learn enough about anything to get it running. One of the DA guys friends carl luch has one.
But you did say you want to feel like your driving an NA. i say do it...we need variety =)

[ericcastro]

built something with ITB !!! that would probably be alot of fun

[Blackparade]

yea...VQ looks really clean in an s chassis engine bay!!!!

[240love^_^]
