Gutted. Rat pack it DJ
Do not put on the S14 front, it looks ****. 14a looks so much better, parts are cheap now, you only need a head light really.
Reading this thread makes me feel like on on the sxoc or driftworks. Love the stanced cars
only issue at the moment is the bonnets managed to loose about an inch in length and there for wont clasp, i may pin it.. or chuck another bonnet on.
If i went for the s14 front end id bung a supermade kit on it with the cash left over
like the below
That looks awesome! Dj I'd go with that option
bashed out most the rear 1/4 damage.
fitted up a fresh bonnet, Donated by mitch @ drift garage, Cheers
Fitted a 3:9 diff out of a s13 as
Also fitted up a r33 rear brake setup
Well.. what can i say , shes back on the road for a bit
Desperate to get to another drift day now the car was back out, but with slight nerves that i hadnt drifted in a while, and also questioning my diff and rear brakes i was secretly crossing my fingers the car worked.
Unfortunately on the sunday before the drift day i had an accident, a trip to hospital, a set of crutches and 2 xrays later im told ive tore my ligaments in my foot.. I almost sell my ticket but then last minute decided i needed to drift some how.. so i kept it..
Fortunately my body seems to heal quick and this was my foot on the day before , and yes thats bruised all the way along.. it is also the same on the other side, but it was better and i could fit my foot in my trainer.. meaning the drift day was on !
So , i phoned a very good friend mr chidley to do my final car prep the night before since as i was now a cripple
and the next morning we were on our way..
and before you know it waiting to slide
and so we did
However the roasting hot conditions meant my usual tyre allowance didn't last very long
so more wheels and tyres came in the boot of my friends merc
My friends swapped the wheels
as we went again
My car so hot inside, outside and every part of it
Until the tyres ran out about 3:10 and we called it a day
all in all great day... really enjoyed myself, met more new folks, had a spot of twinning , and my car didnt miss a beat.. Now booked for july 3rd
Ace, this looks like a right craic.
I see the supermade kit has the same high performance tie wraps as yours
Hope the foot heals up swift
hehe it is trev.. and cheers
Yep cable ties seem by far the easiest was as the standard brackets fall to bits.. :P
I will be reshelling this around sept time into a cleaner shell.
for anybody interested.. as looking at photos it just looks like open tarmac but there is a course set out and its a great course to be fair.
couple of videos give u an idea

Great fun
DJ, do you remember when you refurbished the outside of a pair of Clio headlight lenses? They were faded/scratched/dull and IIRC you used wet/dry, polish and a lot of elbow grease and they came up like new. You showed before and after pics and they looked great.
Well I have looked thru a ton of your threads, including all the pages of your S14, MX5, 205 and Tungy GTT builds but I can't find that post (which is where I thought it was put as an aside).
If you can remember where it is that would be great. Whatever the case, I'm looking for some info on what products to buy/use and what to be careful of (which I think you already gave me on that thread, I just can't find it now).
My sis has a Polo that has faded lenses and her b/f wants to have a crack at sorting them out. I am right in thinking that the Clio headlights are plastic? I still can't understand how fine sandpaper can clean up scratches like that but whatever you did looked mint!
Yes Clio lights are plastic. You will need 1200 followed by 1500 wet and dry, that should remove the pitted surface and then use some Meguires ScratchX on a microfbre cloth to bring back the shine though that will be hard work without a polsher of some sort.
It was in my 306 build thread trev, but yea basically if go 800grit, 1200 ,1500 and then 2000, then I use a polishing mop with some form of abrasive polish, I used g3, hope that helps buddy, the sand papers will be done wet with warm soapy water for best effect, any issues just give me a shout but its pretty easy
Thanks gents, that's really useful, I'll forward that on.
Ah yeah, the the 306. How many projects have you done!
Even then it was tough to find as the search bar doesn't return anything on '306' despite that being in the feckin' thread title, lol.

Just watched the Mark Webb YT vid from the post a bit further up. He's bloody good! The whole thing looks dangerous though, he drifted up to where he wanted to park, right next to a line of cars, plus you have what seems like all abilities on the track at the same time
Best bit is at the start where in the background you can see an MGB GT drifting past
hehe yea i know what you mean about the mgb..
On that big track its basically a free for all, but if any marshalls see that somebody is pushing there luck, or isnt really fit for it they put them onto the other tracks.. all the other tracks are 1 car only spec, and designed to teach u diffrent things, whether it be just initiating a drift, or changing direction, or even slowing it down on the handbrake for technical stuff so theres options for a more safer experience.
the bit where he drifts past the que, its pretty hard to get it wrong there to be fair, its quite a tight corner so your slowed down an awefull lot, if anything you go through the fence onto the small track beside it :P
you may enjoy these

Deft steering wheel control, looks almost second nature through practice
Yea it took a bit of getting used to ..
Kinda like letting the wheel go and just catchign it where you want it, then when you want to give it a change in direction just giving it an idea of where you want it. Good fun though once you get the hang of it, far from perfect wheel skills but getting there
