random snap: 2007 flashback

Here is a cool shot of Neils Corolla and Kevs 1st Trueno after a nice day at the 'Hill..

Drifting '08

Drifting in '08 was great fun with the new 16v 4age, I got more experience sliding on different tracks and got through to a lot of the twin battles in PD and d-rift.

The engine ran flawlessly and the only mishap was in Ennis where I blew 2nd gear in the t50 box and that put me out of the finals.

Sadly '08 was the year we lost Rosegreen as a drift track.

As for '09 , I didn't get out on track, mainly due to buying my Levin and wanting to tune it up but also because I wanted to start from scratch with the Trueno and start a full car build (more on this later), which had turned into a track only car when I put the new engine in.

Drifting ' 07

I got allot of drifting done in '07 with my old road/track 3 door Trueno. Back then I used a standard tvis that I rebuilt, it was basically standard except for the bottom end lightened and balanced. it was very reliable, I drove to and competed in every round of the novice D-rift and Prodrift competitions!! The engine is still firing perfectly, its now living in Sarah's Levin.

The other AE86 also pictured is another garagehachi maintained car, Neil's Levin, which is in storage at the moment.
