Glad your hard work and well thought out system seem to be performing well!! Looks to be a real ball this drifting, wish I could go for a ride around! JIM

Another video of some chase footage from the z3 , majority of cars I was up against was 500bhp plus , purple Nissan was about 400
We will be out again doing a massive drift event up at rockingham motor speedway called drift matsuri, it's like Christmas for drifters basically on the 12th March , will be a hell of a show !!!

We got 340 at 1.0 bar and then the wastegate packed up so we had to end the session , will be going back for more mapping in the summer time to hopefully get closer to the 400 mark
As it was I turned the boost down for the last drift day and it was pleanty fast enough to live with
Thats a real result Tommy! will be interesting to see if you get to 400bhp

As close to 0 as possible on the rear , a slight bit of toe in aswell , it's almost like a drag car setup on the rear , I'm thinking of making some camber plates tbh (how hard can it be )
We shall see more when I get the subframe off

Little update guys , the refresh is almost finished , just Afew areas where I've had issues with paint reactions to sort (down to not having a spray booth at my disposal)
Heres a preview of the colour before its all properly finished
I'm quite pleased with how the smoothed boot has turned out aswell
