Coilovers will make a bigger difference than swaybars imo

You must have had some dodgy coilovers then.

Mmm nah not that. Just sway bars made the car completely different in corners 32mm front 24mm rear. Before bars went in it handled great but afterwards it felt like a total go cart.

Attended winter matsuri at Winton on the weekend, Had an awesome time. Saturday was wet for most of the day, which was good fun. Sunday it was all clear skies apart from the smoke clouds that were about ;)
Only faults I had with the car was the seat braking first thing Saturday morning, but I just grabbed the drivers seat out of the tow rig and that was that. Footage from matsuri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdWKhbG ... e=youtu.be

I’m pretty sure I’ve said it before, but this bloke can steer!! I love the casual elbow on the door while sliding! :cool: Those rear tyres look ridiculously tiny on there, like running PVC pipe on a drift trike! :lol:

Had another drift day at Calder on saturday. Was an awesome day! Almost got 2 reverse entrys, but not quite. Proved ot is possible with standard lock though, so keen to give it a real go next time :) 4th gear manjis are the bomb haha was only dry for about 2 sessions, sooo slippery. I hit the wall backwards at about 70kmh and not a scratch on the back of the car. Tow bar saved the day haha although the boot is a little bent now but meh. Also I ended up smashing the front of my car to haha All in all a great day. Videos from the day including my crashes and my 2 almost reverse entrys. Also big props to my mate in the white and blue VS wagon im following, was his first time drifting a track and he killed it! haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWiBWlH ... e=youtu.beImage
