Last weekend wasn't the best for the Saph at Round 1 of the British Drift Championship at Donnington....
The track was set up for very high speed drifting which wasn't ideal for the likes of myself with only 200BHP. (most competitors run over 300BHP, some up to 800BHP!). So it was a patchy performance from myself.... then I crashed!
Basically tried to extend the slide to meet the end of the very long sweeping corner but it gripped and shot me off the track!
Smacked a pole pretty hard, but thankfully just missed the chassis, so it's just panels to be replaced and the inner wing to get pulled out. Round 2 is at Norfolk arena on the 20th of May... time to get busy!!!
Parts I now need to find:
O/S wing
O/S headlight
O/S amber indicator
Strut brace
Plastic trim that sits under the headlights
Laguna or Espace front splitter
Cossie grille
Cossie sideskirts
Front upper slam panel
Someone to paint the new panels black!
non-LSD diff' with both bolt in shafts
Rear bumper
(possibly sourced)O/S door & mirror
(possibly sourced)Saph Bonnet
