Yes take a helmet with you. It's not needed for the kidney and the donut area etc but if you want to go on the main track (which you will) you will need the helmet. Also make sure you wear a top with long sleeves and suitable driving shoes/trainers. Bring some cableties and some baby wipes

 

[JameS15]

Haha sweet! Gona try and borrow a lid off a mate then as I dont own one. Got 6 good tyres so far which should hopefully last the day (15s & 16s)? Thinking of removing the front bumper as its the aero model and id be gutted if i marked it... or worse.

 

[richy200]

yep defo remove the front bumper, 15" and 16" is ideal mate 6 should see you through the day. If it's raining you'll be hard pressed to go through a pair of tyres if there's a bit left on them.

if it's dry 6 should be plenty. Didn;t even go through a pair at llandow and it was dry

Coool cant wait for this! will be my first go at skidding outside of a carpark at night lol!

Edit: money heading your way now mate!

 

[Mark_D]

A little message from me as i've been several times now, when your there take it easy especially if you haven't drifted before. I wouldn't bother saying this to anyone else, but i know how much time, money and effort you guys have put into your cars and sometimes drifting can end up with little accidents if you get it just slightly wrong. Few months back now, a guy bent a nearly new 350Z straight into the concrete barrier.

Chances are you'll see alot of 200sx s13's, 14's, beemers and cheap old crap there, there is a reason for this! I haven't yet seen an S15 apart from Phil Morrisons DW S15.

Hope it doesn't sound like i'm sticking my nose in, i know its pretty obvious but i don't wana see any of you crash your cars

If anyone wants to know anything give me a shout, not a problem.

Also, if anyone would like an apprentice for the day to help change wheels or whatever who is around the Essex area or coming past to get to pod give me a shout, i haven't been for a while and i wouldn't mind seeing all the 15's there, i'll also be happy to give you a bit of petrol money for the day.

Hope you all enjoy your skiddy funs - look forward to seeing the pics, if you check dw theres loads of peeps who post their pic albums up for the day

Cheers
Mark

your right dude, you don't see many s15's. Your only realy gna smash into the barrier if your pushing your car mate 3rd gear isn't it i believe? who ever hasn't skidded before its very doubtfull you will even be skidding in 3rd gear.

if your out and about thought would great to see another person from s15oc

Yeah, it used to be a 2nd gear for most cars, but now they've changed the track, and as far as i'm aware, its pretty much a 3rd gear now.

Even if your in the playpens doing donuts / figure-of-8's be careful of the metal railings, i've seen a few cars with nice scrapes down the side.

If any of you are worried have a look at the youtube vids, you can see the play pens and the track. :thumbs:

[richy200]

Be good if you could dude, will be nice to see the newly aquired motor
you have a pm coming your way also regarding some parts

 

[richy200]

Right who is struggling for tyres?

how does £2.50 per skid tyre sound? if that sounds good to you then drop MINT TYRES a pm

Practise Rubber is 3mm across ¾ of the face of the tyre.

They also sell 5mm + part worns @ £10 per tyre. (you can either get them delivered to you for a small fee or you can have them at pod for free)

here is the company on driftworks
http://www.driftworks.com/forum/other-news-events/98539-mint-tyre-solutions.html

i have ordered up some tyres with them

just to clarify here are the prices:

£2.50 per practice tyre (minimum of 3mm across ¾ of the face of the tyre)
£10.00 part worn tyre (5mm+)
£5 per rim change
£2 per disposal

sounds like a bargain to me!

They also rent out wheels with tyres on ready to burn

 

[tooley]

sweet nice one for the heads up!

 

[JameS15]

Good prices! Due to my job ive managed to pick up a few old tyres for free. As ive not done this before, roughly how long will a tyre with around 3mm last if skidding?

Is it worth skidding on something with 1 or 2mm.. or will it last around 5mins?
