Back before ASB was an idea. Many of us use to run SpeedTrial
USA events. Being they were track enthusiasts they knew about drift and were really cool about it. Found some old fotos some of the old events.
Benson H. with his
Sileighty. He's a family man now and has lots of resposibilities. So doesn't have much time for cars and stuff. Really cool to see him at the track so many years later.
Charlie O. with his old coupe. His
license plate was DRFTHVN. When I first saw it, I was thinking Dr. Foot
Heaven. Next to him is Taka A., in his Corolla,taking the inside line for the pass. I think Charlie had a
KA24DE back then.
Moto M. and his very nice
Corolla with a Levin front end. Now he's big pimpin the Lexus.
Before Cressida, Hiro S. used to rock the Corolla. Then he was kidnapped and brainwashed by aliens and realized drift cars needed to have 4 doors.
The brackets i was using wasn't cutting it and so it was time to make something that'll work a little better than what I already have.
Started with raw material.
A little bit of grinding. Since I don't know a tube notcher, this will have to do. I'll have to make a notcher one of these days.
Adding tabs to secure the bumper, and add lights later on just in case there's some night time action.
Done, well almost, need to paint it.
Final check of the cam settings
The final settings.
Here's what the 3TGTE looks like note the twin spark plugs per cylinder
But this is what I picked up at the shop, thanks Ray. Since I busted my other block the boss had another 20v engine laying around. The ube delivery vehicle will be up and running soon.
The morning commute is usually full of nothing. But for some reason I was drawn to this Ford Mustang during the morning rush. A mid seventies Mustang 2, a car built to compete with the invasion of gas sippin' japanese imports. Since the gas crunch at the time had made buying big american v8 muscle cars a no no. This fine malaise era example is in pretty good shape for it's age. I would guess it was repainted since the paint just looks too good. It's got the 6 digit california plates, so it's probably been a california car all it's life. Almost 35 years later it's nice to see the old car still on the road.
Godspeed mini blackzilla whereever
