Live feed from Ebisu...

Saw this on NoriYaro blog.

Live web feed from Ebisu circuit. Pretty cool stuff.
Especially since this weekend is the Drift Matsuri. Check it out...

Another cool circuit.

I getting hyped up to go to Arai this weekend, so I am on the search for more cool CS videos.
Here's a really cool track... Love the elevation change...

1/10 city, just for CS

Check out this whole city. Crazy detail...

D-Stage Zero another favorite!

These guys are stepping it up. I love the ultra relistic course and the lights on the guard rails look amazing. But the best part is the tight area on the straight-away. Nice!

Crystal 370Z...WOW!

Awesome! I want to put a turbo kit on this car!

man, I miss drag racing...

My intrest in cars all started off with Drag Racing.

This week was pretty cool at work...

Yokomo Zero-1 R2 FCD Drift tires, Installed!

Happy to say I just got the new Yokomo Zero-1 R2 drift tires to add to my CS Tire collection. Katsumi at Arai just got in his 1st shippment and I bet they'll go fast.

After looking a the directions, I was kind of scared it might be tough to install, but on Yokomo wheels, it went on very easy. (much easier then the orginal Yoks or Type Ts) The instructions tell you to lube the inner rubber spacer with a little grease to side the plastic tire on, but instead I just used a little water. I figure it will have less tendency to spin on the rim later on.


TIP: Make sure to seat the rubber spacer well, and then be carful to slide the ring on square. I used my two thumbs on the face of the rim and my other fingers on the back side of the ring. Sliding evenly, this seemed to work better then trying to push on it on a flat surface. I guess the for notches on the rubber ring help air escape and makes for a tight fit.)


check out the front wheel contact patch with my crazy camber and caster...








My first impression is it has a little more slide, but very good grip, then the Med Kawada's , I bet it would be really good with my old set up and either the Yok 1.5 FCD or Dlike 11T. But with my 10/40, the transistion is a little fast again. But I think maybe some rear toe adjustment might solve that.

The tires also seem a little faster then the Kawadas. And if you know me, that is what I really like FAST DRIFTING!

Hella ill S14

Just got back from this year's Formula D action. Big thanks to Andy at HPI for dropping off some new decals. I think they match my S14 pretty good. You like!

Arai ramps in Japan

Kind of reminds me of the ramps we have at Arai. We have to use them to get around the lifts, I wonder if they have something under there ramps or they just saw ours and thought it looked like a good idea...

D-Like 10/40 in the USA

I have had my gears for a while and although I think they should work pretty good, I still haven't been able to make it out to Arai Driftland to test. But looks like Katsumi finally got a set to try himself on his Driftmaster...



Looks like it works great!!!

NICE!

Awesome In-car RC video at Dlike!!!

No words needed...JUST AWESOME! It's a must see...



Now I want to figure how they did this!

Rear clipping point.

I really love how they marked the rear clipping point. Looks fun! (0:20 mark.)

WTF...dont try this at home

Pure CS madness...Drift soccer with CS cars? NOT COOL...LOL!
