Alex Racing Design CER D11 Plustoyo

Finally, holidays have arrived, and I had some time to clean my chassis properly, and rebuild it with thread lock, which, how I understood in the process, was a total must. 

After 4 months of using the chassis, I can say, that it rides really great. Weight balance and weight shift possibilities are amazing. The only downsides for me, are a bit weak rear CVD's and not enough steering lock.

Onevia pop-up lights. Finally done

Well, it's been almost a year since I cut the holes for these pop-up lights. And now they are finally done.

I was in a real hurry, so I messed up some parts, but I really like that it works, and it is finished at last.

This body holds a total of 22 LED's with working turn signals, stop lights, rearward movement lights, and blinkers, as well as an intercooler (which i don't have yet) light. ALl thanks to this magical thingy.

Here is a small video of how it works.

Chassis updates

New parts arrived today from ARD japan. Great service as always, surprisingly fast delivery, and great quality parts.

More red means more awesomeness. That's why i ordered a bumper brace to match the chassis. Should be a bit practical too, since it weights more than the plastic one.

Also, got some spares to keep me calm during the championship. It will also allow me to test-modify my CVD's safely. Stay tuned.

19.04 training

Drivers have finally woken up from a long-lasting winter madness and started driving normally. Each training goes better and better. Here is a small video about the last one.

I'm driving a green BMW.

Better to watch on youtube in full 1080p.

ARD CER cs 1.88

Finally, my Yokomo 10.5T motor (as needed for D1-10 participation) arrived, along with some useful spacers.

First of all, I got rid of all play in the arms and in the bulkheads. What a sweet feeling of stiff chassis.

Then, with  another spacers, I managed to mount the 21 Square pulley. Funny thing, that ARD comes with a oneway FC pulley because there is no mounting point on the Shaft. Will probably have to change the shaft to D-like Re-R, to fit smaller fixed pulleys.
Anyway, now having a 1.88CS. had to grind some material off the motor (similar to the picture above) to fit the pulley with 121-31 Spur-pinion gearing.

And of course, a lovely velcro to match the chassis color scheme. Only one for now(

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.

25 Mar Training

A small clip from today's training. Some proper CS action of my paddy-flush wheel.
Better to watch on youtube in proper size and quality.
