| Tire test (another short clip) |
| Wednesday, February 25, 2009 |
| Last clip was a short one and here's another one of those. This time from tire testing with the City Tire Online drift Z last Saturday. Technosquare had done an awsome job re-tuning the engine, great power band and control. We got some good tire data and did a little work on the setup of the car. One step closer to the season premiere of Formula Drift @ Long Beach. Labels: Drifting, Testing |

Breaking in the engine three weeks ago was not a drift session at all, with the engine on low boost, only half throttle and low rev driving, but there was some occasional drift happening anyway, the car is soo nicely built for it and track was dusty and slippery. Last weekend we were supposed to start tire testing but believe it or not, the sun does not always shine in California! So we're hoping for NO RAIN this upcoming weekend. In the meantime, a tiny clip. See ya on the track soon. /Carl

 Went to Willow Springs this weekend to get the City Tire Z33 TT rolling. Only went half-throttle to break the engine in gently before it gets tuned for real, but man was it sweet to drive already! So much control, low weight, good steer angle... This will be N I C E to drift at Long Beach.
Many thanks to Jack for trailing up with me and doing half the work in the Z and a huge thank you to City Tire and South Gate Collision for providing truck and trailer.
 Next outing we have tire testing on the agenda. Cheers! CarlLabels: Drifting, Testing |
