@ STAV
Ill be away when it starts and will probably be back for round 2. Maybe promote the next guy in line and put me as reserve so that way i can have my spot back when i get back.
 
It's all good, we had backup drivers for a reason, I'm sure Geti or Accendo will take your spot until you get back. 👍
 
Just a heads up. ssliderz.enjin.com is down for scheduled maintenance.
 
Yeah, I'll give you a message when I'm free.

I just noticed the site was down, how long for though?
 
Would any of yous would like to help me with racing in my SSR7 race for the R effect

So what's the drifting like compared to gt5????

Also does anybody know if the Aussie drift series is starting up again this year I know it got put off last year due to another event organizer company buying the series they were supposed to and remake into a better series.

I thought since half of us are from Sydney or close to we could have a club event to go watch the eastern creek round or even an initial drift club day if they are still around I used to go to the Oran park sessions all the time a very good day.

Any thoughts on this

Yes, I wanna know about this as well but I'm pretty sure I can't go unless I bring a few of my mates. I'd love to meet up with a few other SS members in real life.

Depends when it starts up in Sydney as well.

Overall I think the games great - it appeals to me because of the massive amount of engine tuning and other mods

Just watched dyl have a drift & it looks very similar to the last game. I prefer the drifting on gt5

Bathurst is on there too which is pretty good:):):)

I went up the oran park a few years back to watch some drifting. The tracks gone now yea?

Eastern creek sounds good:tup:
 
Yeah, unfortunately Oran Park was demolished IIRC.

Housing estate now lol Brock st was the most expensive to buy in and yep u guessed some mad fan bought the house no which was his race number for some ridiculous amount :lol:

The old Oran park kart track was a sic drift course spewin it's gone :(

Anyways if there is enough interest I'll look into it
Wouldn't it be good if when stav gets his licence an I save enough cash for my next import we actually turned this into a real drift club I know Accendo was also keen on buying an import.
 
LOL, it's totally possible. I'll hopefully get my provisionals in about 2-3 months. I'm actually looking towards an 86 with a brand new engine for about 9k, but most of you guys that the guys dreaming.

This is a really good idea, and an even better excuse to buy an r31 to thrash around the track haha

U know what the best thing about drifting is as long as

1. There's no sharp edges
2. It dosnt leak oil
3. U buy a day track licence

U can drift ALL DAY LONG !!!!! Lol and it dosnt have to be road registered
 
So true Drifta, problem is where the hell is all the rubber gonna come from?

You go to your local tyre dealer ask them if u can have or buy cheaply the used tyres out the back go through the pile and pick the ones with the most tread on them buy a new pair for the front which will last quite a while and bobs your uncle some places if you throw a sticker on the car will give them to you for nothing.

Next part if like Ben you want an r31 go to a wreckers buy 4 original rims dirt cheap get the tyres fitted to them gut the back seat out pile your spare tires in the back or the front and the boot where ever you can fit em and off you go.
And that my friends is what you call a drift pig lol
 
Man, your getting me so tempted to just waste a crapload of money on drifting.
First, must buy a drift car then SS can start up in real life :lol:
