Haven’t done this in ages..currently on Spring Break so I guess I’ll try to catch this thing up to date.
Welp the S13 is finally running, actually did the Top Drift Round 1 Competition 2 weeks ago. The weeks leading up to that event were hell, so much money spent, sacrifices made, etc etc.
But it was all worth it =D
Ended up qualifying / finishing 6th, ran in Top 16, advanced, then got knocked out in Top 8 due to n00b mistake!! But its cool, got this sick pic out of it :).
LOL, this was my leading run, I already had the advantage from the previous run (Mike Pollard spun in front of me). I could have just took this run easy and coasted through to the Top 4, but noooo, I ended up pushing it too much on the bank and jumped over some haybales =). RIP sideskirt, I’m gunna attempt to ziptie stitch it back together, we’ll see how it goes..

Top 16 run tandem run:
Random practice, was having steering issues, and on old tires:
I really need an exhaust for the S13.. and Evo lol. Both the cars are so quiet =\.
Top Drift Round 2 is just around the corner, in 3 weeks at Horse Thief Mile..it’s gunna be coming down to the wire again, I can feel it. Theres still a lot to do on the car, I am mainly concerned about the steering. It doesn’t feel normal at all.
The Evo is a little bit faster now, but still mostly stock. All I did was get a Buschur intake pipe, UR test-pipe, and tune for it. I really need an exhaust for it, its a huge bottle neck.
School wise, I’m not doing as well as I was doing last quarter.. The focus and drive just isn’t there. I am doing the work and studying but a lot of it is kind of half-assed and its kind of showing in some classes. I need to manage my time better.
I’ll wrap this up with some additional pics of the S13:
I need paint..
