The IS200/Altezza DRIFT Car........

Tony do you have a link to the Topic on SXOC i hav'nt seen it

←

You have lost me with the "link" in SXOC, yes i have been in there, and yes my geom set-up caused much debate, and i felt that the arguments between the geo and SXOC was a wast of time, how can anyone debate any topic without a reasonable understanding of the geometry for drift and "dispute" any theory without validating any argument, to be true i pulled there pants down and the whole area became hostile so i just left the forum...if you want to view any content from SXOC the time line would be about Nov 04?

yeh, i think the topic was set-up "tell me yours".. blindly i thought we could all compare geometry set-up and drifing and have a happy chat, but all they wanted to do was to "bleed" my theory and argue the facts, thats ok by me assuming that the information has some form of development, it did'nt, when i stood my ground and disproved some members it became hostile so i retracted from the forum, i dont need to have some pratt argue that a pebble on the track will move the "toe" .5mm too the left so all theory is redundent.

LS Calipers.........and New Bigger Discs, should alll be fitted soon as the Mintex pads get to me...

Wosket · April 28, 2005

how big are those discs?!

and when do you think the whole project will be complete?

Monster-Mat · April 29, 2005

323mm supra discs, 4 pot calipers......

when will it be finished, never

was i bidding against you for these on eBay by any chance :D

Colin P · April 29, 2005

nah, i'd say that was Dave E

Monster-Mat · April 29, 2005

nope....these came from Toyota and HK

Monster-Mat · April 30, 2005

well ive not been able to fit the calipers and discs for 3 main reasons......

1. 3 of the rubber dust boots are missing

2. The brake pads from Mintex have only Just arrived with Mr Prolex

3. I can't find the jack, i have a sneaky feeling its in the UK with all my other workshop eqpt

anyway, today unloaded it back of the trailer to take it for a run......

also fitted a few more decals....

took some more pics aswell.......i know, i know....but i really like it in its new colour.

The rest can be found here...............CLICK

There are possibly some quite exciting developments soon......

nice pics mat,

looks even better in the flesh :winky:

i think your jack is over here, bought 2 over i think.

Monster-Mat · April 30, 2005

nah, not the trolly Jacks mate.....

my normal Car jack, the only jack i currently have is a Bottle jack for the Paj.

will get a scissor jack on monday, but i am waiting for the Pads and dust seals................................

MrADeveci · April 30, 2005

I do like that colour of that blue ................ very nice !

Yeh found it! search wheels-inmotion in drifting discusion topic "shoes on lets dance" make of it what you will. like i said i found the whole area hostile and retracted away, good bad i dont know!

Monster-Mat · April 30, 2005

yep, see what you mean, the only person other than Jon to give any feed back was non-constructive and seemed quite abrasive

well i dont know? this "drift" area and geometry is very new, i could "pratt" on all day about this and that but the end result is down to the driver "you". SXOC in my oppionion have watched to many "jap" dvd's, all my theory is measured on effect not "chat" seemingly SXOC found this hard to swollow, the "base" set-up in WIM is only a theoretical start for those who want to give drift a go, my ancore was the fact that DA and some members of SXOC wanted my set-up? also Julian invited me for a "chat" but we missed our meet! thing is Matt there is no "actual" set-up as you well know but there are geometrical laws that "some" dont know!

That would be soooo badass Mat......... keep us informed..... as that would sooo sweet (for the altezza :P)

Monster-Mat · April 30, 2005

Also fitted the MINES LCD exhaust gas temp meter, more so for future developments, rather than current requirements.

is that a big crack i see?

Monster-Mat · April 30, 2005

it is a big Crack

Wosket · April 30, 2005

u should stop bending over in photos!

Monster-Mat · July 13, 2005

my manifold, exhaust and bodykit has arrived from Prolex.....

legendswraith · July 13, 2005

any measurements on that link rod yet or would bringing the bits and a vernier to JAE (all being well) be a better idea as i am running out of time now to get things done here

potentially a very good idea....due to events last week, my work schedule is very full
