Azman emailed me photo’s of his latest creation, a 1:10 replica of my current 86. Although not 100% completed, but it definitely has the look and feel of the real car. Love those white TE37’s!
Thought I’d share some pictures of a Mclaren F1 I saw during the last A1GP @ Taupo, New Zealand. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a Mclaren F1 in the flesh. This particular car is the standard F1 with the GTR aerokit. What a classic.
What was supposed to the Round 1 of the Perak Super Series (PS2), ended up a total catastrophe. The drift competition was canceled on Sunday. I do not want to get into the details, but we continued with an open drift session for Sunday. I became the judge & the remaining drifters agreed to run a 21 car tandem battle.
Here are some videos from the practice session on Saturday. Awesome track.
We’ve made some minor changes/adjustments to the AE86 this year. We started by swapping to a new shell. The original shell has been competing since 2005 and is in desperate need of a rebuild. We found a couple of cracks at major hard points and agreed that it needed attention.
During the process of rebuild we’ve managed to further reduce the weight and installed a new fiber rear hatch without a spoiler. Roll cage design was also tweaked to increase rigidity. The original motor was fitted and mated to a new exhaust system, courtesy of TONKKA. We’ve made slight changes to their original design and gained an additional 10hp @ the wheels. We’ll be releasing a “TDL Spec” TONKKA system once the design is finalized.
Suspension geometry was tweaked to improve traction, angle and agility. The car won its first event @ the final round of Star Drift Challenge Series 2008 2 weeks ago.
