Cool Second round D1 pics of my 200SX in Drifty action!

The second set of pics have been released and these have the benefit of making me look like I know what i'm doing!
Entry to turn 2...

Halfway through turn 2

Entry to turn 3 (My favourite turn)

Finished and coming back through to the pit lane. Note the rear tyres inflated to 42 psi 8)

Thats the last lot till the next round. I cant wait!

Hopefully the forthcoming video will prove the back end comes round nicely...

I'm referring to the car, of course... <cough>

Astraboy: What suspension/tyre setup are you running ?

I should ask you on SXOC really but asking here gives drifting a little more exposure

Suspension is all standard mate. I should uprate but I cant afford to!
Tyre wise, I'm running reasonably sticky Falkens on the front and the crappest tyres I can find (usually with only 2mm of tread left) on the back. The best ones I've found sofar are Continental Eco contacts. No grip at all, but good enough quality to be fairly progressive.
Pressures are important too. I'm running 30 on the front, but 42-45 on the back to minimise the contact patch and so make it easier to break traction.
Its not perfect, a better combination would be decent coilovers, antirollbars and strutbraces (Poly suspension bushes too) But like I said, money is an issue.
