I use an ATI damper I’d highly recommend. I had problems with my Ross damper not sure if it was an alignment issue but it kept throwing power steering belts. Ati fixed that 👌
A real long time, think I got about two years of solid drifting out of it before there was an oil metering problem. The electronics are a pain in the ass but the engine likes a good kicking. Engine lacks serious torque for drifting. Tough car to drift but rewarding
I just blew one of my twins yesterday. HKS single coming in! Now I have an excuse to put in my ID 1050x as well. You got a follow from me bro. Hello from the US 🤙
Heelloo i have e46 330ci i bought the LF 30 pump and my mechanic said it will never fit my car , if i can connect to you and send u some pics if it can fits or not thanks for the vid by the way 🙏🏻
Hi, sorry for the later reply and thanks for the comment, if you send pictures to pro307 on Facebook I’ll try my best to help out. If I can’t help I have a guy who’s a lot better with his BMW’s who I’m sure can help 👌
@@Pro307 helloo bro thanks for ur reply I eventually bought the other pump and i just replaced it and it works fine and thanks again for u to trying to help me 🙏🏻
@@blitzer1211 😂 I’m sorry I just fired up that comment north east like I’m chatting to someone local. I’m in the north east of scotland Aberdeen kinda area. Ware are you at ? Feel free to drop me a message try and help the best I can
@@Pro307 aye the content is good and consistent although it thought Riga was sketch at the qualifying. Just because of the weather. Latest event was absolutely mega though final battle was intense !!
I’ll have to double check. my head and deck have both had a skim so when checking the cams I did have to adjust both Pulleys to get it to the required setting
Great interview with great insight into the difficulties drifting faces. Your completely right with regards to a driver following you really got behind them and when you look back at previous years of the BDC even when there teams like lassa tyres, japseed, driftworks, slide motorsport to name a few. With regards to tracks/ venues ,James may have already looked into this, old abandoned airfields and old factory grounds around scotland might hold some potential but again financially would need to make sence, but the dream would be a car enthusiast Mecca were you could hold all the events, shows, motorsports you could want. 😎 Keep up the good work @pro307 👌
Great Interview, just a heads up, I was part of the Gymkhana crew and was heavily involved with drifting in South Africa, and Gymkhana gave me the opportunity to go to Poland and have a beer with Peter Solberg! Now living in Scotland and starting to get back involved in the racing scene again. Never underestimate different categories and where they could take you!
Great video and interview. I’m new to the drift scene and videography as this is my first year… So it’s interesting to hear about the current issues and hopes for the future. Hopefully catch you at an upcoming DLGB events. I’ve subscribed
Great interview and lots of interesting points. Completely agree that the sport could be a lot more professional at times, a lot of 'issues' that have occured around UK drifting in the last couple of years could have been avoided if people had taken time to chill and talk to each other rather than going off on one on Social Media.The driving at Drift League this year has been amazing and Teesside showed the potential crowd wise if there were ways around the problems with gate money. I said to Gordon after both Drift Land and Teesside how much I enjoyed them because it was a good, fun, no bitching and moaning atmosphere, and that included Teesside in the pouring rain, and I normally HATE drifting in the rain.
Thanks for the comment, I’m sure you’d agree from a media standpoint point it’s much nicer having full grid of drivers and crowd atmosphere good competition
I think it could use with more regulation controlling tyres could help. Think it’s near impossible to limit hp but with control tyres you wouldn’t need so much power. Thanks for the comment 👌
@Pro307 2 vids now its had a mention 😂 I'm also learning to bite ma lip 🤐 . Good video that,see James in a new way now he has spoke so openly and what it takes to construct an event 👏
I think another thing is space and space for an audience even coverage of the events is difficult. If I can ever help I will at any event Another thing this year in particular I feel is money everybody is pulling purse strings so it's difficult to buy the tyres and justify the travel
Thanks man I have been following your work your fibreglass moulding is something else, I’ve to try and make a set of 75mm s15 wings fit a s14 so I’ll have to get my fibreglass out in not to long 😵💫
Any merit to welding on continuous bead vs the method your using where you kind of go dot-pause-dot-pause. Is that to prevent heat build up? I am not a welder. Please forgive my words.
I’m just trying to control the heat going into the metal, it’s not thick plate especially the chassis I’m welding to. A lot of what your seeing is me tacking stuff in place multiple points to stop it pulling when I weld it solid.
A lot of the high power gtrs brake the exhaust mount so prp offer a aluminium replacement. I was going to try the same it’s rubber on the gearbox and inlet side of its to solid I’ll easily replace it with a rubber one
I can vouch for Paul and Steven. Both really down to earth and want to rep the sport well whilst having fun. Great guys who eben suffered me for a whole weekend!!
Ahh. I've been watching a documentary on building rickshaws (basically a drift car right?) and you've done your welds all wrong. You need to tack everything with 3.2mm stick electrodes. I can also clearly see you are using a set of Mitutoyo callipers and not a large ball peen hammer for fine adjustment. Remember. Safety 3rd.
Hi is it true that, if you trying to add more lock it will upset the electric steering rack? And on that note why the electric steering not suitable for drift? Also how bad is the standard lsd locking up the rear wheels? thank you.
I didn’t find what I did to the lock upset the electric steering but I did fire on a lot of caster to help get some self steer. Electric steering will work for drifting it just limits driver feedback and I found it wouldn’t self centre as well as a hydraulic setup, the standard diff will lock up, but it will open if you come off the power and makes the car really snappy I found welding the diff made a big difference
@@Pro307 thanks a lot buddy. i think you were right in the beginning of the video. this is a great car just not really for drifting. Lot of effort for too little.
