So this is how i bought the car. 5sp standard 3.45 LSD, JMM DEV5 cam and head, JMM extractors and lukey catback.
First thing the taxi needed was a clutch as the original clutch had given up on life, so in went an exedy HD clutch
Next Mods on the list were nolathane bushes for the whole car (only done rear to this day haven't got around to doing the front still) KAAZ 2 way LSD as the standard LSD was basically an open diff it was that flogged out haha and some 3.89 diff gears.
Now it was time to setup suspension/handling of the car, First thing was a nolathane camber kit, But insead of using the shims how they are intended and using them to correct camber, By stacking them all at the front of the upper control arm this will result in more negative camber and more caster. I got around 7 deg caster and about 1.9-2 deg neg camber.
Next up i purchased a set of XYZ coilovers
Now she was ready for her first track day ( my first time drifting a track too) In dec last year at winton raceway
This was the last vicdrift event to be held without a CAMS approved roll cage being compulsory to run on the main track. I got a bolt in half cage made up so i can still put seats etc back in for street use
My next drift event in the taxi wasn't until last month, which was held at winton again.
My xh xr6 5sp tow rig
I managed to escape the day with a minor fender bender after a 33 skyline decided to say gday to my rear quarter haha
Here is some footage of the day including the crash haha and several popped tyres

The next drift event i am going to is saturday the 17th of may at Calder park in Melbourne. I will post pics/update once thats done and dusted.
Long term plans for the car is to drift as much as i can this year n/a then at the end of the year i will be taking the car off the track for a while and putting a bf Barra turbo motor in. Any questions and what not shoot away, Love to see how many other E series drifters there are on here
