Senator 24v manual ex-police, track / drift car - Page 3

Colonel K · 31-07-2008, 21:12

Anyways, so tonight I finally got off my arse and repaired the handbrake, so while the rear end was in the air, I thought Id try out my shorter springs and shocks as I had some mega rake going on.........

sat pretty level! It looks freakin awesome, time will tell how well it slides / drives like that, especially as all the roads round here are basically like green laning

Ive had an idea that will tuck the exhaust further up in the body so thats top of the list, then I might chop the front springs a touch or add a lil extra height to the back (as those rears are mega high profile tyres and wont be staying!)

Took it for a ride, by myself its awesome, with a passenger it scrapes on everything.... best put the exhaust remaking plans into action sooner rather than later!

Sorry about the pretty eventless update!

**Benn** · 31-07-2008, 21:16

Love the low ness!
you gotta take me drifting when i get to one of your meets.

myke · 31-07-2008, 22:10

As much as the rake was pretty cool, that looks loads better.
Was the handbrake a straight forward fix?

Colonel K · 04-08-2008, 21:09

Yeah handbrake wasnt too bad chappy. Just used to nuts and bolts and washers instead of the pins which fell out!

Benn..... sorry no can do, need my license for work so no streeto for me, plus its all about the time and place, broad daylight on a sunday is not cool heh.

**Benn** · 04-08-2008, 21:18

Grim Reaper · 04-08-2008, 21:47

Depends on where and what day too. I know you can get free passenger rides at Santa Pod DWYB's, but they are mainly on wednesdays LOL Im going to the next DWYB on Aug 13th, and Im gonna be ****e as I havent been drifting for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages

Grim.... yeah RRG should be a laugh with a bit of luck!

flatout · 04-08-2008, 22:57

havent seen it since you painted it fella, looks wicked mate

, bet it looks mental parked outside your parents b+b

Colonel K · 05-08-2008, 20:56

yeah strangley they dont seem to be bothered about the ****heap in the drive anymore!

Apparently they have a sense of humour after all!

Cheers for the compliment! Its still a heap really.

Anyways......... tonight it was pissing it down and I was feeling miserable, so I thought "Must keep mojo going" and headed to the barn to have a looksee at my sorry looking Mk2s.

Decided to fit some 15x8, ET25 rims Id bought to replace the hilarious 13x8s Id had stolen (hilarious due to the -15 offset)

Pics..... not very good due to barn and no engine in the car

front wheels should come out a bit in the arch when the suspension compresses. Rears may need a spacer!

They need a refurb, but Im fairly pleased with them

vxlgsi · 05-08-2008, 20:58

Flywheel should be done ready to post by the end of the week fella..

Colonel K · 05-08-2008, 21:02

awesome news chap

cant wait to get it fitted!

Beenie · 05-08-2008, 21:25

CARLTONS GAWD DAAAAAAAAAAAAANG IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH#

heh sorry every keeps thinking they are cavaliers LOL.

Ones gonna be a nice summer runabout, t'other my uber-drift weapon.

callymat · 05-08-2008, 21:39

love the look of the senator mate and the mk1 carlton is a cool car i want 1 ......

ps .have you ever bin drifting in an auto

Colonel K · 05-08-2008, 21:45

The early carltons are cheap as chips at the moment dude so strike now heh (I would say that)

Yeah you can diff up an auto. Its a bit trickier and you cant use all the techniques, but had great fun with a lad in his soarer when Bovingdon still used to run drift days. Just stick the box in "2" and go

That only works on the slower courses obviously. I find its ultimately not as fun though.

callymat · 05-08-2008, 21:49

i have a play with the gsi but like you say its limited with the auto .i would like to put a manul in her but trying to find 1 is working ut harder than i thourght .

Colonel K · 05-08-2008, 22:12

Have you tried a wanted on Total Carlton? Failing that, theres always some breaking cars for parts on the Autobahnstormers. Worth joing IMO.

**Benn** · 06-08-2008, 18:24

Oooooooooooooooooooooo love those wheels!

Colonel K · 14-08-2008, 20:26

Yesterday, did some skids..... and the anti-invisibility paintwork actually works!!!

Was a fun day apart from an intermittent top end rattle. Booking another one, either 27th Aug or 10th Sept or both!

Need to get my welded difff in ASAP though.

Lots of other pics from the day here.......

Cheers Andy C from Driftworks for taking the pics!

**Benn** · 14-08-2008, 20:53

Very cool pics dude!

lee303 · 14-08-2008, 21:12

last photo is just ace

you could have had a shave though

Colonel K · 14-08-2008, 21:36

cheers guys.

And shave?! Meh when I can be arsed or theres a chance some foxy ladies might be around

Ill have to drag you to one of these days Lee, or Benn for that matter! Its a proper good crack, especially when they let 4 people out at the same time on the fastest track!

An S2000 also decided the fast track wasnt hard enough so dumped all its engine oil all over the corner at the end of the fastest part!!!! Made it a challenge I tell you. Linked it more than once though so I was happy

Beenie · 14-08-2008, 21:41

looks amazing as always! keep up the good work mate!

sounds good to me, i'll bring that hatstand of a pal brian with me too

and doesnt oil on the track just make drifting less harsh on the tyres?
