    Looks like good fun! What power/engines are you guys running? I really want to grt into drifting/drift days but i don't think my engine will rev hard enough/have enough power. The lump i have will rev to 6k and has 190bhp and 200ft/lbs of torque is that enough?

    I use so old 175/60/13 track tyres on front and nankangs on the rear think there 185/5013.
    And to be honest if your doing a drift day or a demo your best off having new tyres I used some part warns at come and did three pairs in five laps it's false economy really. Was paying £5 per part warn £25 for a new tyre that I know I good do a good 8-10 laps on.

    Re: Me and matty having a go at twinning.

    A random question and perhaps a bit off topic but does Matt have a build thread?
    i would be interested to see his XE install as i have recently decided to go the same way

    cheers, Steve
