DL-86 recent progress

Updating the blog was really tought for a couple of weeks now. But I'm back on it, hopefully with a lot of new stuff.

To start up - a taste of Dl-86 that is getting into its shape.

Drift Lab GT86

It's time i told you about my new project - Drift lab GT86.
After making my first GT, I fell in love with the body. It's very stylish, it has it's own character and it really opens up the track, thanks to its short rear bumper.



So, I needed something to impress at the D1-10 event this year. If you have ever seen Team Orange bodies, you probably understand, that competing with them is extremely difficult. These guys make pure shelf queens and put them on the track.

YIDM 2012. Team Russia.

"Team" is a bit too much, to be honest.  I am the only one from the western part of Russia. I know 1 or 2 guys are coming from East too, but I only know one of them, very briefly. 

These are the bodies I am going to use. Stay tuned for daily updates, and of course, wish me luck.

See you on the other side.

Onevia gets Uras'd; part 3. Finished

Here it is. Not as wide as I expected. Only +5-6 mm in total on the rear and +3-4mm on the front. Can't even fit my +12 wheels. +8 are still pretty good though.
I can't tell exactly, what I feel. One minute - I love it, other - I hate it. Maybe I should refresh the front bumper too...

It was such a shame to find out, that white LRP paint turned out to be pearl white (Scumbag salesman).
To me, it was more like a pearl base for white color. But anyway, I had no will to go to the farthest end of the city for another overpriced 150 can of paint, so I backed the parts with tiny coat of this pearl white, and then with silver. Of course, colors did not match, since body is backed with white. I am thinking of respraying the whole car from the outside.

It's always nice to get of a shelf, a body that you don't run to much. Sometimes, you look at it, and think that it has to be "refreshed" in a way. So, that's what I did. Set of Uras fenders to refresh my first self-made oldie Onevia. 

Nice fitment for +10 rear and +12 front, especially with that tires.

Achieved almost perfect fitment today, and will paint tomorrow.

Latest video Update: 13.07.2012

I haven't posted a video for a while. Partly because no one wants to film anything, and partly because not all people like to ride tandem rides, and just do freakish stuff when I try to follow them.

But I finally found a solution to both problems, and made a video. 

Beter to watch on Youtube.

Renewed SDT s14

In these cold, snowy spring days, i decided to cheer myself up and give my s14 a new look. It won the BOTM contest, in it's street version look, so it could be transformed into a drift machine.

Not the best work , but looks kinda ok. Good thing, you can always remove the stickers.

Hope you enjoy.

Body: Uras S14

Another body in my collection - Uras 14. Planned as a new team body, but the team suddenly fell apart after one championship.
