I did a quick walk around the pits as the day was wrapping up. Some cars had already left but that worked in my favor as it meant there was room to get pictures. Here’s what caught my eye. The Garage Cartis S15 is pretty awesome. Love the less common DMAX aero. The rear overs […]

Silvia/Event: Okinawa Super Drift Rd. 1 – Driver Recap!
I made my goal for this year to progress as a driver, so when I came across the 2013 Okinawa Super Drift schedule and saw they had a beginner class, I got down to Garage Cartis and signed up. But some background first as a month before the event, Yukari Bokujo closed. This put the […]

Silvia: Yukari Bokujo’s Swan Song
A few things needed addressing after the last track day. Firstly, I needed to get my e-brake back. I pulled the URAS Seahorses out and put the stock ones back in. That coupled with a tightened down cable and the fresher pads had it locking up as good as ever. Next up was basic maintenance. […]

Silvia: Sway Bars and Seat Time
In some of my past Yahoo Auctions parts trolling, I stumbled across a super rare set of ARC Pipe-Stabilizers (sway bars) with their adjustable endlinks. These things are big, hollow, and adjustable for stiffness. Doesn’t get much better in terms of s-chassis sway bars. Google says the stock sway bars are 24 or 25mm front […]

Event/Schedule: Yukari Bokujou Schedule 2013 / ゆかり牧場の２０１３年度予定
While I haven’t seen an actual 2013 schedule for drifting events and competitions (I’ll update when I do; send me a link or pics if you have them!), I thought it would be nice to layout the general schedule for driving – grip and drifting – at Yukari Bokujo (aka The Bullring) since I’ve gotten […]

Silvia: 2nd Track Outing
The Silvia’s first time drifting went undocumented in large part due to unpreparedness on my behalf. This time around I had my wits about me and brought the GoPro and the proper attachments and filmed a couple runs. The event was being hosted by Auto Parts 7K so big thanks to them for setting it […]
