First Drift wreck!

First Drift wreck!

well i was learning alot about my car and how to control it...doing really good most of the day! round 3 o'clock i was gettin ready to slide around the last corner of the course and when i hit the brakes to transfer the cars weight i must have hit a patch if dirt or tire shreds+ worn tires up front caused me to slide into the wall driverside nose first! as from what i can see major damage(steering,frame,suspension,etc.) here are the pix as she sits in the garage(aka operating room)





enjoy:

well atleast i got my first track wreck outa the way wheeewww!


i dont street slide and yes this was on a closed course!

Good wreck. At least it wasn't a total. It's just cosmetics. Do you haven any videos of you drifting?

nothin worth showin lol next time for sure!!

im not sure whats worse... the crash damage or the KA!

right on man. if youre gonna crash, the best and safest place is at the track.

KA LOL I would think so too.

Ka?

KA24DE... his engine... an often ridiculed stock engine typically replaced with the SR20DET and sometimes the CA18DET.

in this case im just busting his balls...

It's a truck motor! That's why were poking fun.

haha yea nate its a stock ka for now...i have a 97 ka with 65k on it ready for boost chillin at my pops house. just waitin oon this motor to blow so i can swap it out and rebuild this one for a spare!

p.s. i lurv it when nate bust my balls!

Aray! Kayang-kaya himasin yan.

sorry what? you pinoy?

ouch...hate to see such a nice front end ruined like that...i'll be lookin out for that video that you promised though!

That just means more room for upgrades and polyurethane bumper replacements!

awsome way of thinking!

Hell yeah!

Ohh. My bad. I thought you could understand Tagalog.

What I said was, "Ouch! It could still be fixed."

How about "Ouch! It could still be upgraded."

i wish i did for when my wifes parents are speakin there language .....my wife can understand but cant speak much of it! air force brat haha! but she was born over there though!

that is not bad. get a hammer and some duct tape and your will be set to go

And cross black electrical tape over the headlights and corners!

your a trip haha

haha well it's jay dee em, yo!

If you are still new to drifting, why not practice on a course that does not have walls to crash into, until you can build up enough skill to take on those "wall having" courses?

I'm a drifter too, but it will cost me a ton more money to fix my ride if and should I crash it. But I plan on participating in the grass-roots type drift events long enough to be pretty good and not worry to much about crashing into K-rails or walls when I go pro.

Dude,,,, Practice , Practice , Practice.....

see i bought this car knowing that the day will come when it gets wrecked...just how the game goes! plus i happen to thit he only wall out there! oh well shit happens and 35 bucks 10 drivers on a closed course..all day loong!.....i wont pass that up anytime!

I know we are going to get our fair share of bumps and bruises. Just saying, our events are big parking lots that are cone ridden, so us newbs can practice without worrying about smashing up our rides.

PS....can't beat $35 bucks and only 10 drivers though. No lie, I would have been there too.. Our events are like the opposite. 25-50 drivers and $75-100 bucks to run all day.

yea i ripped the fender n lip off yesturday, gettin some more tires this week n going back to the track this sunday! cant wait! hopefully pix n vids since its an actual event this time!!

good luck man just avoid walls this time and hope the silvia pulls thru

will do....im not goin near that wall lol new tires up front and welded diff should help out a bit more!

ok so got some updated pix of the repairs at hand! almost done just need to do a few more things!





gonna be doing more body work tomorrow! then gonna try to make the car one color...not 5 shades of black haha!
