Driftspeed outdoor session this past weekend.



It was good to get out to Driftspeed this weekend for another Arai open session. It was a bit of a change to the indoor Arai tuning I was use to. The Type T tires definately don't have the same slide as the Kawada indoor. But it was still fun. I got to see a bunch of the guys we don't normally get to drift with and it was good seeing every have fun.

Here's a pic of our indoor pits and the return of the my Smoke Chaser...














Thanks again Katsumi, Minako and Driftspeed for another fun session!

OEM Yokomo Counter-Steer Gears for SD coming soon!

Wow. Just found this on Katsumi's blog. Very interesting. Sounds exciting!!!

Looks like the ratios work out to be a 1.48:1 front to rear ratio for the Standard and a crazy 2.0:1 ratio for the high grip. Hummm. So far from my experience a 1.6 ratio seems ideal. ???

Check it out...

Not a smoke machine, but a sound machine....

Here is a crazy video of a sound machine installed on a drift car. The faster you go the more noise that comes out. This one was found by fellow Team Arai member Ulz.



The track is also pretty cool. I like the up hill / down hill course...
