RPS13 – New Shoes and Kit

By | Photo | No Comments

New year, new shoes and new kit!
Finally I have bought the new wheels I mentioned in my last post. Work XT7’s that are 17×9 +12 in grey. The wheels are second hand but I picked up 6 of them for a good price, some marks on them but nothing I wouldn’t do to new ones anyway.

The fronts fit quite well, once I get my new front guards which will about around +25mm they should fit spot on. The rears will need a bit of work, once I get the correct profile tyre 235/40/17 I can then lower the car more and adjust the camber arms to make it work better.

Lastly, my new kit has arrived, I ordered a copy Type X kit from New South Wales. I already have the rear pods etc so it was just side skirts and front bar with lip and extensions. You can see the side skirt mounted here.
I’m just waiting on the front guards so I can then test fit the front bar then prep it for paint!

My next post should have everything together then one last pull down for painting 😀

Experiencing Ebisu Circuit Matsuri – OMGDrift.com Guest Blog

By | Photo

After staying with the guys at OMGDrift.com in LA for a couple of weeks I decided to use my head and write a blog post for them! I am pretty close to the worst writter ever but gave it a crack haha. 
Here’s a piece from the blog post on OMGDrift.com

Every Friday before Matsuri weekend, Ebisu Circuit runs a competition called G1GP. It’s a comp for Gaijin drifters that aren’t from Japan.
This is judged by D1 drivers, Naoto Suenaga and Nobushige Kumakubo. It’s a pretty great opportunity to battle other drivers from around the world in nearly stock cars on all the same tyres. There’s probably not a car over 250kw competing and they’re call running Kenda tyres, super even field. You can really tell from watching who can actually drive and who is pretty average when they don’t have a 400kw JZ or RB engine under the hood running Achilles 123’s….
