The first journal entry under www.sileightymania.com… How do you all like it? Please go to the BBS and speak your mind. Hopefully the board won’t be filled with questions asking how to smog an SR20DET. So lets see… what has happened since the last journal entry… I’ve been practicing my drifting a lot… everytime I do I get better. Right now I’m trying to drift at higher speeds. I wasn’t satisfied with the length of the drifts at lower speeds so I’m slowly increasing my speeds. Right now I’m at about 45mph in 2nd gear. It’s pretty hard, but I’m getting the hang of it.

I put in an order for my Tein HA coilovers yesterday… do I really need them? No… But I DO need camber plates and a lower center of gravity, so I figured I might as well buy them. I also need to get a racing seat and harnesses… right now I’m considering sabelt 4-pt harnesses because they are cheap, and as for seats… It is really important to sit in them for a while to make sure they fit you well… I’ve sat in 2 different adjustable Recaros (cheap) and a non adjustable Bride seat (30 minutes each seat). They both fit pretty well. I love the way the Bride holds me.
Drift practice earlier today… I’ve learned the secret to sidebrake drifting and brake drifting in my car. I have much more control now… even with my high grip tires in the rear (Potenza RE71 225/50/15) I was getting really sideways… and it wasnt very hard either. I will get good soon, I can feel it. It is so much easier to control the sidebrake drift than my usual clutch drifting. With more practice, I will be able to keep the drifts even longer than I have been… but it is kinda hard being the only one of us drifting with a high horsepower turbo car. Turbo lag sucks for drifting! Anyway, I am still at about 45mph in second gear, but with more control now. I am way more comfortable. Touge tonight… Merry Christmas everyone.
