Newera's AE86 Project - Video of 1st Trackday, Nikko,

[Miguel - Newera]

Had my first taste of Nikko Circuit, which Andy of Power Vehicles has been raving about for ages!! Took a while to get used to the corners and learning what the right lines were to drift it, but loved it out there!!

Here's the clip: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/16ab1...f8aa6f.htm

Managed to crack the exhaust manifold from too much abuse, hence the flames on part of the footage. Will probably get a new manifold made up with spring attachments, so it's got some "give" to avoid it happening again.

Otherwise, the car performed impeccably. Seemed to get a smoother gear change with 75W90 fully synthetic Wakos gear oil. Shame it needs changing after every track day but necessary if I want to preserve the TRD box.

Can't wait for another track event... but the weather's getting a bit too hot now in Japan... Roll on Autumn.

Cheers,

Miguel.
