See you guys there! I'll be in a White Monogram with just over 2k miles. Remember to watch the Drift Bible on youtube.

You'll be the 2nd white monogram.

This will be my first drift event. Any tip guys? I heard it's recommended to do an oil change before, don't park with your ebrake, reverse headrest to make room for helmet.

Any recommended tire pressure for drift vs grip?

One of the staff members drifts his stock BRZ. They will give you tips/ride-along if you ask them when you get there. I'm not a drifter so I can't give any good tips other than bring spare tires if you're going all out and a tire pressure gauge always. Lots of water too it's a dessert out there.

Edit - check all your fluids the morning of the event before you warm up your car.

Touge86 · 08-08-2014, 03:48 PM

Anyone have an open run group that I could hop in for grip?

Mobbing out by myself :O.

I drift my mostly stock FR-S. It does plenty well, but I would suggest upgrading transmission and diff oil for sure. Engine oil helps too and open your hood after each session. (Keep an eye on your oil temps). You'll probably want to bring spare tires as well and make sure to let the tires cool if you get a good chain going. Otherwise they'll start chunking real bad if you overheat them. I'll be running 35 psi front and 45 psi rear. You can play around with that at the track since tire pressures are highly subjective and change regardless (with heat and all).

You can probably get in with rb6 and I. We can make adjustments when we arrive

Touge86 · 08-09-2014, 02:17 PM

Sorry guys, couldn't make it out =(. Spent all day yesterday installing a wilwood front BBK and didn't even get a chance to bed them in until late last night. Apple Valley is 2 1/2 hours from me =/.

Will be at streets August 16th though!

GL and have fun mina-san.

Haha. Come for a ride along next time you'll enjoy my super late braking ;-)

I only did 1:10's on Saturday. Did a 1:09 last month. Hopefully next time I'll hit 1:08! @midnight23 doesn't know as he wasn't recording. I'm willing bet his were faster.

I'll try recording my laps again next time, hopefully my iSuck will want to cooperate then.
