Paul,

It's a bit of a distance for you to come get it, but you'd be welcome to borrow our Pajero. Seats fold down and you can get a fair bit in the back.

Paul, sounds like eating beforehand could be a no-no.... you should maybe eat afterwards if you still can, or Tomo's car could be decorated with prawn latticework.

I can't understand how he still hasn't managed to blow it up - he give it hell at least once a week on track days (It's no longer road registered).
Running a standard blacktop 20V running 304 cams and a decent exhaust manifold on a Freedom ECU it makes approx 180 bhp... !!
He told me last time he blew the diff, but managed to switch the rear axle in between sessions, without missing any track time at all. Nutter.

He was also telling me on the phone Nikko is now his favourite track, so my guess is he's gotten pretty good on there by now. The man drifts probably even more than Andy!

Dunno what Andy's planning to bring, hopefully his mad RX-7. If so, then this will be the craziest ride of all on offer, I expect... He's about to join D1 street legal, so he's bound to give some exciting rides!

Paul, some big prawns would be great
It would be good if everyone just chipped in and paid a bit for food and drink. That way there will be plenty to go around. We'll probably want to feed some of the Kazama crew, etc. too.
I'm not sure exactly where he was at with it, but last time I was there he had removed all the inside of the doors, and fitted all his homemade perspex windows! it was definitely the 'lightening stage 2'. I can't remember if it had headlights or not, but it did have pretty much everything else gone and yeah it did have the big damage in the sill from where he t-boned his friend! it was already off the road then, he was towing it. he certainly is the most dedicated 'amatuer' drifter I have ever seen. I still can't believe he doesn't want to compete as he's very good, but apparently just doesn't like the atmosphere and pressure of comps. he is more keen on the laid back, fun practice days. you are right, it's a wonder that thing is still together as it's one seriously abused hachi!

I wish I was there guys. I have my little silvia drifter now so you guys can show me how and why I suck next time!

I really want to see what your car looks like now miguel.

Is there a specific time we should meet up or just show up there at our leisure? Is it difficult to get there from the expressway as I have never been there before.

Anytimes good if your not driving. Not too bad to find, Just take Exit 10 of the Tohoku then bear left after the tolls. Join a road from the left then continue strait through 2(?) sets of lights. Come to a biggish set of lights and go right into a small town. Drive through it, past 7/11 and a set of lights at a Bamiyan. Continue through one more set of lights around 1 km and theres a long sweeping left handed. The entrance is on the left there (Its signposted). Follow the shitty bumpy road for a short while till you come to a tiny underpass on the left. Drive through it and hey presto Nikko circuit is right in front of you


Oh Miguel did you get the entry forms i sent you? Need them filled in ASAP as need to reserve spaces.

I'm definitely on for this.

No drifting for me, but I'll be standing on the sidelines trying to ponce passenger rides

Hi Andy,

Not received any entry forms at all, mate. What method did you use to send 'em? e-mail is best. Will get them back to you as soon as possible after receiving.

Cheers!

Yeah can't wait!

My 86 is kinda crappy at the moment, but hopefully I'll get some coilovers fitted before I come.

And someone PLEASE PLEASE bring Salsa! I can't find it in the shops in Nagoya. I need a chilli fix!
