haha, nice ending now, back to the topic, hmmm, not very "drifty". Still needs a bit of work, but the way your 8 swings out of the corner is nice (despite that it is only called "powersliding"). I like the vide though, and nice song. Oh yeah, and your striped 8 looks really nice, and I like your engine bay too!

That is a nicely done video! Really nice.

Too bad your "drifting" is just a bunch of sloppy U-turns.
Though, in a way, its a sort of satire, so I like it!

Red face About "drifting"...

Guys, you're right.. it's not really drifting, but it was the entrance of a race track with cars coming and going every minute, what you expect

I'll do better next week "ON" the race track itself.

Apologies..

PS: anyway, better than the 350Z at the end of the video :P

It's a HOP Racing carbon fiber adjustable wing

South African brand. Very similar to APR but half the price.

It's theoretically adjustable, but I can keep it only in this position. If I increase the angle the drag effect it's way too much.

Thanks.
It's that normal spray for brakes ad high temperature surfaces.
I have videos of the whole process but I just did this quick and dirty short clip for now.

You're right. Slowly but surely I'll get there. Well, not THAT slowly

Do you have a video with sound of your Catback? Did you gain any horsepower?
