Off to the drift day we go!This week i was preparing the 86 for today's drift event, most of the work was done on the engine and drivetrain. I got a Link plug in ECU for the 3S-GE which i ordered almost a week ago, it was a special order item so it took a little longer to arrive. When i installed it i took the 86 to a nearby engine tuner to make it run properly with the ITB's. I was quite impressed by the results, 228 HP and 154 ft-lbs!  Maybe it's not such a big difference but as you know the Beams is already very well designed, still it looks like the new ECU is doing its job properly. After the engine was tuned up i changed the stock differential to a TRD LSD, i don't think i could drift well with the stock one!  I also threw in another Bride seat i got from our shop in case someone will want to go for a ride with me.In the last update i also mentioned that i don't have a trailer or a car to tow it. So i bought a trailer and all the things needed for towing for my 350Z. Not the best idea, right? Well this is my daily, first i thought it would work better with 3Style's E34 but he wanted to keep it clean and i couldn't find a tow hitch for it anyway. This morning everything was ready to go so we drove off straight to Oklahoma City! 3Style took the driver's seat in the 350Z cause i'll mostly drive the 86 anyway haha. 350Z barely towed it but the event is only 100 miles away so we made it. So now we're at the event, lots of drifters and many other cool cars have showed up! I did a few test runs with the 86 too, it runs pretty well but i still have to get the hang of it for some proper drifts. I'll tell you guys more about that when we come back.   Stay tuned for some more dorifto pics! |
