Video: Norwegian Drift Day Free-Runs

[pudding]

Hello there
I'm new to this board, but I have been reading it for some while.

The norwegian drift team Kamikazedrifters arranged Norways first Drift day this fall, and I was there and filmed the event.

There is beeing made a official DVD featuring the downhill drifting competition we arranged.

But I filmed lots outside of the competition and have made a 20 minutes long move of that...

Well you get to see some of what we are doing over here in Norway so have a look

I'm going to be the first and say, Damn! Some of you norwegians can sure drift. Props to you guys. Some were bad, most were good. Love the 240+rx7. And those levins were dope.

[pudding]

thanks

yeah the rx7 owned
and the yellow levin sure know how to drift

[Young Drifter]

Hey, are you a part of that drift team? Or do you just watch

[CRASHDRIVE]

It was cool but, there's alot of "CHOKI-DORI".
Not alot of turns, but a whole lot of straight-aways.

But, not too bad "all in all"

Nice work "Gutter".
Sweden VS Norway?

[pudding]

hehe Henrik..


Well first i'm not "in the drift team" I'm just video filming the event.. and mind, this is just the free runs before and after the competition..

We did a nice downhill drifting competition with three sequential corners and tried to judge a winner and stuff...
But this is reserved for a dvd video so it's not out for public yet, still in editing.

Guys, you simply rock!!!

This is the most impressive video I've seen in recent time and IT'S EUROPEAN! I cannot believe this! At least I couldn't. I really had no idea Norwegians are so far in drifting, I didn't know any Europeans are. For example, german drift challenge is nothing compared to this...

Awesome guys, hats down, thumbs up I wanna move to Norway

You really did good job, not just driving, which is really good and shows you have lots of skilled drivers, but also cars are awesome and it looks like some are prepped for drifting (and this is europe we're talking about ), and the latter not the least, you did great job mixing this stuff together. Really good work, I really enjoyed watching it!

Anyway, how much of kamikaze drifters are on this forum? I've got so many Q's to ask! What tires are you using (I find couple years old michelin pilot's best, but I've only tried couple of used tires)?

And is the rx7 driver on this forum? I'm currently in the process of rebuilding an FD and making it street legal drift car and would really like to ask for tips about the setup... Currently my FD is only sucking funds (a lot) and videos like this really helps giving out money for such an old car, hehe, thanks again. Anyway, is he running stock torsen diff or aftermarket clutch type? I'd really appreciate if you can give me some contact of his... Thanks!

[pudding]

thanks for the positive comments!

The great Kamikaze Drifters homepage has just opened so if you have any question direct them to them there



And i'd like to ad to this thread that I edited a Smaller and more entertaining video!

also with some sneaks from the competition.. Twin downhill drifting... nice

any comment on the video would be really nice!

Hi.

I'm the only Kamikaze Drifter on the forum, and the team has only to members. Kenneth Moen with the RX-7 and yours truly. Kenneth wouldn't be able to help you much with RX-7 setups as he only drove the RX-7 this once before he sold it and got a ~500bhp 200sx s14.

When it comes to the setup, the RX-7 was bone stock apart from an aftermarket suspension of unknown origin. The car was imported from Germany. What makes his drifting even more impressive was that he used the tires that was allready on the car, Michelin Pilot 235/40-18 and 285-35-18! That's why he spun a couple of times. The 285's was a bit unforgiving to say the least

We just startes drifting this autumn, so we haven't tested very many tires yet. So far a set og Kumho 712's had the best balance, but didn't take the abuse to well. They were fine as long as I stayed on the track, but once I started to use the kerbs they just fell apart Guess I'll try some Yokohamas or Falkens next.

Yup, it's got a JUN engine capable of 800bhp. Plain crazy! But he will tune it down a lot though. 800 might be hard to control...
