So today was Vegas Drift 24, and the day begin with a nice drivers meet in a crowded area on a second floor, the wind was cold but it was sunny out.
I started with the Intermediate course and it was alright I thought I can do it but I have forgot one thing, I didn’t get much seat time with the new springs & perches that I purchased for the rear end before the last event. since I know and feel I can do it but my car said no, every time I would attempt to initiate it would grip even harder in the rear, This was something I couldn’t get down pack from last event due to the sensor blew up mid drift.
So I have took it back to the beginners course to see what is wrong.
Start up turn would be not great at all as it would grip really hard even with the tires balding from last event so I ended up spinning out or grip to the next cone. So first thing come to mind is I should of brought the Canuck Springs since I have yet to still do the coil over conversion to the fronts still. This is my main problem is the suspension setup is wrong to even attempt this.
So I just went a head and burned up the tires doing donuts and attempt to see if I can adjust to the bad setup. I should have known, it will be hard to adjust so I went ahead and had fun anyways.
When I finished burning up the tires I went ahead and attempt to change tires, from there I broke 2 lug studs. So I said fuck it, I’m done for the day. Since I already know my problem is I decided to hold out and watch the rest of the day, and not to forget it’s lunch time so time to enjoy my lunch.
That wraps it up for this day, I would love to do February event but do to my job status, I might have to put it on hold. Coil Over setup is pending with income tax return since. All I need now is Q45 front brake setup + coils over the most expensive part.
I still have a few more things to straighten out.
