Late event updates

Yeah so I got the car driving all good and everything. I was getting excited for the event on the 13th of feb and wouldn't you know it the night before that it freaking snowed! I mean this is south carolina. It wasn't just a little snow either we got 8 inches... Crazy.

So even though my friends tried to stop me from driving the 2 hours to Myrtle Beach I soldiered on and got to the event in one piece. Amazingly they didn't cancel it but very few people came to drive so I got loads and loads of track time. I must have done 40 something runs.

Well anyway here is some video from the event im sure thats more interesting.

Yay! the car is back together now but I am still getting goodies in the mail.
I am putting a new water pump on it whenever the weather decides to not shit all over me. And I got some new tires for the front.






yeah buddy

More work

Tore everything down today and started removing my a/c. It has never worked since I have owned the car so I figure it's about time to start removing unnecessary weight.
Plus I need to fix my thermostat housing and install my new spal fan.

Yeah so I tried to drift in an event today and the car pretty much broke on the way to the track. The thermostat resivoir I replaced started leaking im not sure why but anyhow I left it at a gas station on the way to the track and went with my friends and slid their cars. I got to drive a LT1 manual firebird(stock), a AE86 levin coupe with a 4agze swap, and the RX7 I posted up here before the one with the small block in it. I actually linked the course in the firebird first try and got better with it in the following runs. The other two not so much. The AE86 I only got one run in but it was fun I spun out once durring the run so I think I could have done better, and the RX-7 really really needs more steering angle.


but yeah my car is still sitting there so im gonna try to fix it tomorrow.

Sup guys! Im back in the states! since I have a bunch of stuff already done to the car I will list that and I have pics of some new stuff I bought with the monies I got from being in that hell hole of a country.

I can't wait

Long trip, rad boom, drive back

Yeah so on labor day weekend I decided to drive back down to Florida to see my friends again before I deploy. Wouldn't you know it there was an event in Orlando on Friday night. So I got some tires ready on some wheels and other misc crap, then headed down there. Drive was about 6-1/2 hours to the track including picking a few of my friends up on the way down.

The track is called Central Florida Race Center, it was built not too long ago it includes a 1/8 mile drag stip, go kart track, a skid pad for drifting and somewhat of a road course. We were drifting on part of the go kart track. Track setup was sorta like a smaller version of the balcony events at willow springs (straight into a figure eight into a straight into the back turn). So I parked threw all of my crap out of the car and pulled into line.

My first run I drifted most of the course, not an awesome run but not bad for first run on that layout since I didnt spin and drifted all the main parts of the course. My second run I feel was the best I almost linked the entire track on my second run I straightened out on one of the straights but other wise pretty close.



ok so maybe I lied about that almost linking the track deal. So then I went up for my third run and was feeling pretty good. Went out and pushed harder than my second run annnnd spun twice lol. But I did this sick slide into the back turn.



well about 5 mins later driving through the parking lot my radiator exploded. Like literally EXPLODED! BOOM! Blew the fuck up. Like someone threw a hand grenade under my hood. The plastic end tank on it just went BOOM.









so that ended me drifting that night and started my quest for another radiator. Fortunately there were a few other E36 guys there that night and one of them (Fellow from Bimmer forums) was there and said he had a radiator I could buy off of him. We ran down to his house and got it drove back installed it and got it all back together right around the time the track was closing up.

I spent the rest of the weekend in Daytona with my friends.
