My first racing bucket seat....

Just picked up this BRIDE holding monster (i love that title) from my boy boy Alex. Im very happy and can finally feel secure in my FC as Im sliding through a turn. Awesomeville!



This recliner knob looks just like a rotor....LOVE!!!

Welded Diff install.

So things seem to be moving right along and Im making valiant attempts to attend as many drift events as possible. Recently I had the option to either run my KAAZ diff or a non turbo welded unit from Daniel. Ended up using Daniels welded type with good locking power, cheap to modify and LIGHTWEIGHT...perfect for getting the wheels to spin. We had to make a run back to my house to pick up the non turbo driveshaft which I forgot to bring and prolonged the install way into 3am the next morning, doh!. Here's some pics taken the night before the event.




Swaybar removed, makes things easier to slide

Again, daniel is mad funny , seen here with his spread eagle mechanics

Pit area pics at Inland Drift

Here's some pics I took at yesterday's drift session. No real action shot's of myself, just pit area snaps which is all I had time for. Kinda sucks not having someone to shoot pics for you, oh well. Daniel was helping me out as far as recommendation for entry speed and clutch kick drift techniques. We estimate that by my 3rd or 4th trip to that track along with properly funded car set-up, I will be master of drift in So-Cal.

Inland Drift

Very cool track I must say. Had lots of fun today and got some pointers from my good friend Daniel Kuo. He goes by the name DK and has lots of experience with drifting Rx7's...hella funny too. So I got pics which I'll post soon.

Random Pics

These were taken by a good friend of mine Kent. He's talented in photography and also drives an RX7, hopefully soon he can get out on the track with me for some shots.

Adam's Drift Track.

Whew. Mission accomplished. Now, my objective has been to get on the track and race my FC for the longest time. Last nite, me and my good homies Cedric and Daniel headed out to Riverside CA for Adams track. I must say, not only was this a lot of fun and exciting, it was probably the greatest learning experince I've had since owning an RX7. I did great and would have liked to perform at a higher level when it came to initiating clean and aggressive drift's, but my current setup lacks power and a good locking diff, again affording parts haunts me. I didnt take photos :( and I feel that would have been the least I could do. Im working on the car this weekend at daniels house and will post pics of that and my second triumphant return back to Adams track for round two of my track domination. Wish me luck.
