[antnicuk]

Im looking to do the 19th, I have an fc engine

[Skifledanabit]

I may be up for it, depending on prices and dates etc

[Adam fc]

im really looking forward to this,but ive never really drifted before.Ive had it sidewas before but never linked any corners as such.But it would be ace to have a mass fc turn out.

[antnicuk]

A dwyb at the pod is perfect for you, go to dwyb.co.uk for dates, it\'s £60. They have beginer courses and tuition

[dthebuk]

im looking to go on the 15th, cant make the 19th.

only problem is that the car is a long way from being drift ready

[Adam fc]

what do you need doing to it??

[dthebuk]

rear steer eliminators, harness\'s, buckets, guages, steering lock, poly bushing and a propper set up of the coilovers. Probably a lot more that i can\'t think of at the minute tooo. Oh and im working pretty much every day.

ah and i meant the 5th in my earlier post, there isnt a date on the 15th!

[Adam fc]

wow guess id better get working then,im only goin with coilovers welded diff and buckets,and a water temp gauge lol,

[dthebuk]

ok well im not going anymore, decided it\'d be a great idea to break my hubs....joy. Oh well theres always next year.

Coilovers shouldnt be a problem, just make sure the top bolts on the front are tight and that you preload the springs a decent amount.
Welded diff is actually quite hard. Getting it in and out is a mission, you\'ll need to drop the rear sub-frame, isn;t too bad if you have a massive lift/ramp.

Water temp guage is easy too, the hardest bit is finding a way of getting the wire into the cabin.

other than that you\'re all good to go!! good luck!

[Adam fc]

yeah hopefully get some dtss cancel bushes soon,do they actually make a noticeable difference to the cars handelling??

[dthebuk]

uh, depends how dead yours are. On my TII the car just turns more than you expect. This did happen with me old egi, but you had to be pushing it pretty hard. The Hat is the guy to ask. He drifts his FC with rear steer, im under the impression hes quite experienced though

[Adam fc]

yeah i think ill do away with it to be honest,ive heard a few opinions on it and it seems tha most peeps swap them out for eliminating bushes.
Any ideas on the best place to get them from apart from the US???
