thanks Ben! Many many hours spent reviewing my own and others' incar videos

Im trying to push and drive a bit more agressive these days haha but I guess the smooth technique is still there

Yes we are very lucky to have Ruapuna so close to home! and there is plenty of drift days compared to back in the day

Yep it was the ultimate 'Pro' spec 20 years ago. Today even with upgrades its just a 'simple' fun car now. How things change!

What hood is that? :o Pretty cool looking

@@KakelaTron Im not actually sure what brand it is, it was installed by the original builder around 2003

I have relocated the rack by around 20mm. Binding also depends on castor settings and length of the LCA. Mine are extended 25mm and I run low castor which both help keep the ball joints from going over centre. You could always measure it or use a string line to see how close to a straight line the inner tie rod -> knuckle pickup -> lca ball joint is

This one had open diff, but I do believe some models came with a vlsd

@@markrohara thanks for replying. Guess I’ll have to do some further research and see how to tell which ones came with lsd. Cheers man

Unfortunately I haven't driven it properly yet so can't comment. I was running about 21 psi with no catch can . A decent amount of oil would always line the intake piping, and puffs on gearshift. It will be a bit hard to measure but also just hoping for an improvement

Haha yeah it makes for exciting photos

Yeah cool eh! The black 180sx is my car, and the blue S15 is now sam edinburghs. Bit of history there going right back to the very first drift day at ruapuna

Cody Berkahn The first song was Rust by NADIR (a local band from Nelson NZ in the 90s) . Then Silverchair cover of Wasted. And then a song called Scud from the original Need for speed game

Thanks man, that rust one is so amazing kinda sounds similar to Eddie Vedder's voice but a little harder. I cant seem to find a link anywhere to listen to the full thing do you have a link to it?

Cody Berkahn I only have a badly scratched CD of them from when I was a teenager. They were like a highschool band that recorded an album but I think it was only found locally. Its a great sound eh! I haven't found anything online of theirs.

l am the noob two exhaust and two cylinders mate ! Cheers

markrohara but my GSX 250 just one cylinder and twin exhaust

Hi there. I found usual maintenace parts like wheel bearings and oil filters were still available from Suzuki dealers. Other Reproduction and second hand parts are quite often found on places like ebay.com or through Suzuki GS forums

thanks for the info I now try

the regulator rectifier keeps blowing on these bikes, i had one, try in the UK for parts

Car went good around the cones !If I didn't slide the car too much it was actually quite close to the times by the lightweight mini's and lotus7/Fraser cars. The second course Iin this clip I was just playing around and it was quite a lot slower

the minis just corner so bloody tight. Your runs were good to watch. I'd love to get a 180 as a dedicated track car. Have you done much to it?

Thanks This car is not modified like most 'pro level competition' drift cars, but it still has a full rollcage, a built SR20, Z32 gearbox, and all the usual drift suspension parts. It has been used as a drift/circuit car for about 13years, and ive owned it for 9 years, so its been gone over a few times over the years.

+Cole Huffman Hi there. Yes the bike sold a week after I uploaded the video. Sorry I cant help you with the headers. They were on the bike when I bought it, I had presumed they were modified factory headers made to exit on the right side. The bike had a terrible high rise sport bike muffler when I bought it, which I replaced with the more suitable low silencer as you can see in the video. Good luck!

I see, I was beginning to think that I would have to fabricate something of my own. Thanks for the reply!
