Drift Diaries Updates 140413

It’s been a month or so since I started drifting in the free land, consist of 3 big open carpark with 2 having lamp post in the middle, while we fully utilize nearly 70% of the single carpark space.

We were there nearly 2-3 times a month, usually there would be alot of cyclist, joggers, tai-chi, morning exercise folks in the area when we reach there. We consist of Me myself, Melina, Melvin and Tayrn 4 person usually, kinda small group but definitely a friendly one, we greeted whoever is interested in our business there most of the morning. However, people tend to be fear of what we’re doing with the tarmac, some might be wondering what these two cars up to with such a number of tires hence they drove off for breakfast I guess :P
Guess we’re not a friendly group to them as we thought we are, haha!

Here’s a track layout pictogram for last sunday’s sparring exercise!

It was fun attacking that flip corner, still a tough one for me though. Can’t really flip from right to left in such a short corner and a long long 2nd gear stretch after that. Gonna master that with a few more sparring exercise to come XD

Do stay with us with more juicy updates of Drift Diaries!

Project: Lil Demon | Part. 2 The Tear Down

Few days after we drop off our Lil Demon at Threshold Garage, the boys there started to tear down the car to check for rust spot and to remove certain sound proving materials at certain part of the car. They started by removing the dash out, by doing that we all notices some rust spot on the firewall it self and according to the guys at the garage this is nothing serious and its easy to be fix.

There are actually a few steps available for removing sound proving, but by far we found that by freezing or cooling it before hand is still the easiest way of removing. Usually the usage of dry ice is recommended but due to costing in mind we just went and bought three bags of ice which surprisingly does the job just fine.

Here’s some shot of the sound proving being remove.

Project: Lil Demon | Part. 1

We at Threshold Culture recently acquired  a new retro Corolla or mainly know as a Toyota KE70 which we would be naming it Lil Demon, the recent for this is cause the size of car isn’t really huge and its considerably light compare to cars now days and the best part it shares the same undercarriage as the cult status AE86, which make customizing this car so much more easy.

The previous owner of this car also happens to be one of our close mates for years use to compete in some drift and gymkhana competition with this car, so the car already came equip with some basic necessity like a 4AGE engine transplant, a set of adjustable suspension, adjustable cam pulleys, LSD and some other minor goodies.

Our plan for this car is to take something that is really good and make it better, our goal for this car would be “Form and Function”, so we enlist the boys over at Threshold Garage to see what sort of idea and mods can they come out with that will make this a much better one, and of cause we did set a few simple rules which is “The car must be build in a very realistic budget” that people with average income can afford, so let’s see what can they come up with.
