Moved to a new garage

Ive just moved my car to the new garage, I will be working on the old engine this weekend, seems pretty good I think it was a pistonring failure but cant say for sure.

Enginebay is now painted lets have a look.

End of the Swedish Drift season

Been bad on updating. Season is over in Sweden in 1month we will have snowdrifting here. Shot the engine on the second last driftcompetition in the Swedish drifting series, I had a goal to be top 10, but couldnt run a complete comp without any problems, drove totally 2500miles to driftcomps this year :thumbs: total of 7 events :)
Anyway I am rebuilding the blown ca18det and it looks good :)and I am painting the enginebay and going to tidy it up and make it good not halfgood, in the seasons heat I just dont take the time to do it good its just half-done :), will be doing some overhauling and tidy everything up, since we have a 7month break from Drifting due to the winter here :D

Alot have happen

Alot have happend since I updated the blog last time. Been to Vilhelmina with CJCJCJ, Henrik Dirtrider, Micke Wonderbaun and some locals and did a show on the Vilhelmina airport, it was so much fun I really enjoyed it the course was the fastest Ive been to and it wasnt all that sharp like Skellefte was it was fast and smooth, Ive realised I really needed to step up the power for its kinda hard to drift on third gear.

I have been taking a break lately from Drifting, but have orderd a new skyline r32gtr rad because the car almost boiled @ vilhelmina. Z32 Airfuelmeeter, mapped ECU and skyline r32gtr injetors (444cc).

I got the handbrake to and I got myself a cartransporter, I hope I wont have to buy anything for the car anymore, I really need to save some money.

Hydraulic Handbrake

A Driftworks hydraulic Handbrake is on its way to me I hope to get it before 31may. Hopefully it will help me to get even better, in some situations is it good to use to get even wider angels and when doing twindrifting it will be a good help.

It can also be in upright position, it is a wilwood brake cylinder so hopefully it wont fail me.

The kit includes braided lines aswell.

Start of the blog

Hello first time ever writing a blog, I will use it more like a homepage then a blog, it will be more focused on me and my progress then on the car, it wont be a 100% project thread I already got one on http://www.zatzy.com search for shirru and you will find it.

There is much going on in Swedish drifting, not so many driftbuilds like 2007 but alot more events, actually its so much events I dont have money to drift on half of them :).

2008 will be a intressting year for sure with some car shows, drifting show and drifting competition and practice, look at the schedule on the right.

Right now I am fixing some minor details on the car so it will run fine on 31may when I am going to Skellefteå Sweden, its a SBF (http://www.sbf.se) competition, first comp ever this far up i the north i belive.
