ready 2 mount with adjustable tie rods and polyurethane bushings

big difference from the old SN-95 A-arms

not bad!!!Problem... tie rods were to short for these custom made flca's with extreme offset and amazing angle capacity
so we got them made 20cm

this is what we can get w Ervins custom made a-arms

need some mods and we're ther... gr8 job E!

Tpd shakedown 2011

Ready for Shakdown @ Läreda track, HMLK practice event!! good job u guys!!! some more track time and we'ere there

0800hrs "T" Team manager getting groovy.. too early for me yet..

here we go!

sick angle

old school 10" wide rear wheels

Conclusion of the 1st practice/Shakedown of 2011 :
+ : Car was much stiffer than previous due to a certified full roll cage welded by pro's very tight 2 the chassi n frames. New custom made fcla's by Ervin with custom made tie rods made us get allot more angle = able to go wider in all turns plus making transitions much easier!!
Something we been missing allot!!

- : The engine needs some mapping and some checking why its shutting down everytime i remove foot from gas pedal... and im loosing throttle control from 3500rpm - 5000rpms... then it all comes at one time = not so good.
As for the mean steering angle we have now accomplished, we unfortunately had some problems w tire rubbing from inside fender just above the a-arms, so we blew 2 tires on track in mid drift, front tire left blew 1st and after a couple of runs 2nd tire blew also in mid drift. But this will be fixed for next event

Stay tuned!

Season 2011- update

Some updates after a very busy start of the season...

Here we are at ELMIA Custom & Performance Car Show Sweden. We was invited to be on the stands of SBF to promote drifting in Sweden and we thank them for giving TEAM PONY DRIFT that opportunity!!!

Over 75,000 visitors during 4 days at the Easter vac.

Here we are getting ready for a small demo of drifting using some red tires. Terry Grant, stunt driver was also doing a great stunt show just before us on this small arena.

Here we are in the halls on the stands of the SBF (Swedish Motorsports Federation) promoting drifting with the help of many beautiful models

MDS gals

Drifters all over the country gathered for some detailed info on judging n future of drifting in Scandinavia (held by SBF)

A couple of videos from the short drift/burnout show. Note this is all just improvising, trying to use the arena at the fullest and give ourselves and the crowd a good time.
