Wasn't Matt running the PBM front knuckles? Now's he's changed over to the Driftworks setup?
there is discussion in the roll center blah blah blah thread about which system is better, PBM or DW. Either way you can't beat a reliable and properly engineered setup. To run in the top 16 with shit geometry and an engine that he had little confidence to boost in... I'm just saying, piece of mind and confidence goes a long way when you're trying to go balls deep into an initiation. I vote for matt in 2011, all the other haters can go take it in the face. |

not to mention being reliable allows him to focus more on driving and less on fixing the car everytime he comes off the track. |

I was working on the car last night, new vinyl wrap looks amazing in person. It looks high because they trim the shit out of the front fenders for wheel clearance (he's running 18's in the front this year).
It's actually pretty damned low, but with the Driftwerks rear knuckles the LCA's are flat (toe rod points WAY up though lol, looks weird at first). Car should be ridiculously competitive.

^^^ yeah cause drifting on the streets is perfectly safe and doesn't get you into any trouble.
Some of us like our cars not impounded by the "PO PO" |

Might want to edit your post before you get pinked. Or don't go into detail about it if the topic continues to be talked about.
You can "street" all you want, and I'm not saying I don't do it, but please keep it off of Zilvia, we have rules here. Drifting IS about having fun, and there are plenty of different ways to have fun. To each his own. |

people gotta understand that FD events aren't cheap. event registration fee, traveling, vehicle maintenance, gas, food, ect, it all adds up. So if your spend money to be in FD you might as well be competitive or go home!!!

The new setup is sick, please oh please beat the shit out of it every chance you get. Make it beg for mercy then put it back in the trailer wet.
On a side note can i get some info/pics on the quick change setup. I have been contemplating using the one i had for my roundy round car (also a winters) and now i see its possible. Id like to see how its setup to be used as an IRS setup. |
