    My first love is modifying... i can't leave anything as the manufacturer intended. I'm heavily involved in the modified car scene and also drive a unique and heavily modified Vectra Estate.<br /><br />As for other interests... i used to race Downhill Mountain bikes & Moto X professionally, but these days i'm just in it for the laughs.<br />Also do a bit of river fishing... but thats to boring for most to bother going in to, lol.<br /><br />Thats about it... Oh, and don't mind zipping the odd RC about, lol ;)

  1. Well, i've had loads of experience with both, and in standard form there isn't a lot of difference between the both...... They both like to swing the rear around WAY to much due to being rear end heavy - But between the 2 the RS4 does have the edge, plus the Fazer engine is rubbish! My RS4 has the full D1 conversion and ally hop ups, uprated engine, both diffs locked and i run it on ABS's - I've drifted with one of the UK's best (D1RC - NDT's Paul Renshaw) with this and no word of a lie, you couldn't split the differences over his highly tuned TA-05. If you set a Nitro up right, they can drift as well as an EP car....... But emphasis on the word "right".
  2. Yeah, i personally don't have a 1 way on mine, but have driven a EP car with a 1 way, and its supurb! When you brake its just like E-braking, and ideal for initiating a drift while slowing down.
  3. As above..... I know about "you can use them anywhere" - but is there any other GOOD reason??????
  4. Now has working brake lights as well
  5. Yep, car now has lights...... I know i should have done this to a new shell, but thought i'd experiment to see how well this comes out, so now i'll do a new shell, and go down this route rather than buying light kits. Battery -
  6. All in the chassis, diff and suspension set up
  7. Forgot to mention.... If anyone want to feature in the next Drift Vid (which will be in daylight) over Lakeside, Essex way..... Give me a shout.
  8. Na, its over the far side of what people call the retail park, where Halfords, etc, are...... Sparkling drift tyres, tried and tested lol.
  9. Was out playing in my 1:1 then swapped to the 1:10 for a while
  10. Well, this is my first attempt at doing a proper video, and not just raw footage, so please be kind...... Oh, and its a bit dark as it was filmed at 1am in the morning. And, another thing.... Don't bother taking notice of the web link at the end, i got that wrong as well, lol.... Cheers, Nick
  11. I'm sure any good sign writer will be up for the challenge. I say good, because obviously they'll be dealing with very small cutting details..... Download the image you want off the net, and give it to them to copy...... Job done. Thats how i got the ones on my car done, because NO WAY was i paying Nismo prices!
  12. I don't use a D-box/Gyro...... purely for the reason above, i like to know that its me making the moves, and getting the big angles. Call it pride if you like, but its me, not an electrical box doing it for me.
  13. If you've seen TAXI the film, than that makes complete sense.......
  14. Yep, thinking of doing mine, but will have to paint it black....... Don't do silver mesh on the 1:1, so no no on the 1:10.
