                     Just watch and soak in the awesomeness

Vegasdrift 22 T&T

                           Yesterday was the first event i have ever done, and i could not have been more happy. My car performed flawlessly and so did Evers with exception of his fan ground wire coming lose, but after a quick fix he was back on the track. Ever and i have Ben long time supporters of Vegasdrift and Ever has even entered a few events years ago before he started deconstructing his car for the last 3-4 years. We are usually at every event weather or not we are driving. we are out to support the grass root drifters and the Vegasdrift sanctioning body. This event was in jeopardy of being cancelled due to lack of people signing up, when i heard about that i sent out cries all over the social networks to try and get people to sign up. i just don't understand how you wouldn't like to pay some money to drift all day from 9-5 with out any care in the world, no tickets, big wide open area so its harder to crash, and all the free advice you can get from people with YEARS of knowledge. not to mention that everybody on the Vegasdrift staff are so nice and helpful and the really want to help the grass roots drifter that is aspiring to make it to pro level. Nick (the man responsible Vegas drift) is trying very hard to get these events together and help support our sport of drifting. But with the lack of people turning out for these events its almost not even worth it for the amount of work it takes to get these events all planned and coordinated. We need more interest in these events, how come when there is a Vegasdrift Meet and greet people come out of the wood works to attend, but then when it comes time to pony up and do an event nobody shows any interest. I guess there are just more internet drifters then there are real drifters.You cant tell me that you do it on the streets everyone knows that one warehouse is a bust, the other one has speed bumps now,  the other one is so tight that you risk running into cement curbs, and im not preaching to keep it off the streets im aware of how drifting started and how fun it is to drift. But where else can you get a full 3rd gear pull to a large sweeping turn where you can actually get experience at high speeds. Lets face it doing donuts in first or second gear in a round about or a parking lot does not qualify you as a drifter, I do that with my Prerunner. These events are the chillest things around people with stock cars are out there, people with slow cars are out there, people that have NEVER drifted or even done donuts are out there. Please don't let these events DIE show you support for Vegasdrift and grass roots drifting, DONT BE SCARED, SHY, or EMBARRASSED. plan ahead start saving 5 bux a day. i guarantee you that you will have so much fun. the next event is Sunday November 18th start saving. oh and you can say you need tires, ever went through 1 1/2 sets of tires. now that's 2 federals and 2 more that he still has enough life on to do about 7-10 passes at the next event i went through 2 1/2 sets but only due to tire pressure issues, but i go it figured out and next event i should only need four tires. ever uses federal 595 tires and i tried out the Achilles 2233 both of those tires are pretty cheap about 75 a tire for the federals about 65 a tire for the Achilles 

Now on to the actual event, i usually am behind the scenes taking pictures for the blog. but this time i didn't take any pictures and i only did one go pro video. there was just no down time it was drift drift drift all day. so below are only my one video and a video from TRACKDAY.NET  that features Evers car,and a couple pictures i took with my phone. sorry. but that all i got.

EG LOVE

                     Well while i was in California getting wheels and tires and some other stuff for the 240sx, I also picked up a few things for the civic. I used to think my civic was HOT shit, but once i got my RB25 swapped 240 going i quickly realized how slow my civic was. i joke about it now saying "im so embarrassed that i used to think my civic was fast" or " i dont even know why i fixed up civics they are sooo slooow". but there is one thing my 240sx will never be able to do, and that is out handle my civic. so just to solidify the civic greatness in handling, while i was in California i stopped in at JHP and picked up some 15x8 +35 Enkei PF01 wheels, and got some Federal RSR tires to wrap around them. Now i have always been an AZENIS guy and thought that the federal RSR tires would not even come close. but after to talking to some people i decided to try them out plus the price was good too, so i figured how could i go wrong. well my first impression of the tires was WOW. I can not believe how much better they handle then the AZENIS, its a day and night difference im now the biggest fan of the Federal RSR tires. also while i was down there i picked up an APEXI NOIR exhaust to help my fly under the radar since the civic is like a daily for me. and then i finally decided to man up and cut my bumper, this is a great modification that people are doing lately to really help reduce the air drag during high speed track racing. i cant wait to get out to Buttonwillow and see how much better it is. it is the same principal as cutting speed holes in your bumper except it hasn't been ruined by lower class people trying to make there cars look cool. 

Here's a bunch of mediocre pictures

DIRTDROOOOOOP

Our man Joey Sproul getting sick with it at XDC. Unfortunately he broke his tranny so was not able to qualify. But we love him anyway.

UPDATES...

                                   Man oh man it has been a while, but please rest assured its for good reason. we have been busy prepping our cars for the upcoming Vegas Drift event on OCT 6th. so that includes getting parts, wheels, tires, fixing broken stuff on the cars currently, and just basically making sure the cars are all prepped for the event. it all started by figuring out what was wrong with evers car, after a long hiatus we were finally able to get it running strong. pretty much since he has had the car the rack has almost always had a small leak, well not any more. we replaced the rack and added parts shop max steering rack eccentric bushings, and tein tie rods.

Now lets take it back a few weeks. i made a trip to California to get wheels tires and some other goodies you'll see later and some stuff from MAX

 the black ones on the right went on my civic.

The whole thing started with me going 5 lug. ever found some rear hubs on Zilvia for a great deal so i go them... then i thought man i need new wheels now. so i decided to just go crazy.

here is the front 5 lug full Q45 conversion.i know its not baller like the Z32 but it works fine for me.

 i also got an AEM water temp guage, those are the pictures of the HYDRO EBRAKE installed and the max rear toe arms.

That is not a Keys wheels its just an Ebay wheel with evers keys wheels horn button. After installing the ebrake it took me a long time to get the brakes properly bled, even after bench bleeding the new ebrake master cylinder. but i finally got it working right. 

Here is the car down on the ground. wheels specs are 17x9.5 all around +12 in the rear and -7 in the front. 225 45 tires as you can see in the pictures i gaped my front fenders to fit the wheels easier.

thats pretty much a quick sum up of the last few weeks. please enjoy the rest of the pictures and we will see you all out at the VEGAS DRIFT event on OCTOBER 6th
