As title really. 24valve powered moonstone 3dr Cossie won the L2K drift competition at Lydd in Kent on Sunday, driven by Irish ProDrift driver Mark Coyne.

And won the 1000quid first prize

Like said all along, Sierras are as good a car as any other to use, just need some driving skill




Not bad day out, 70quid for a a whole day of practice and then competition, and make 1000quid for your troubles.

Surely all you "oh yeah, thats easy, i can do that" lot should be out there making easy money, surely?

 

I thought the 1st Ford to win was a P100 24v Cossie

Well done though

 

Fuck, your right, i meant first UK car, the P100 was an Irish car!

But this one had an Irish driver still

One day we will have a UK Ford, with a UK driver, winning summat

 

something about those irish & there drifting is awesome

 

did it have any front suspension geometry settings changed or was it boggo standard?

 

you wont find any drift car without some mods to the geometry, same as anything used on a track a lot, drift or not.

nothing complex or severe, just the usual, its not a mega spec car.

dont need anything if you just starting out though.

 

Makes a change for me to remember something correctly

 

half of the winnings will go on new tyres though

haha

fair play though good to see fords are still up there with the japs

 

whats the vents in the rear ¼ for?

 

to let out the smoke?

 

how will smoke go out of them, the air is being directed into the car

 

I would asume he means it lets air into the wheel arch and forces the smoke out.

but TBW i'm not sure what they are for.

 

rear mounted rad? maybe?

 

Your right, that's what they are for (just asked him).

 

Wicked, looks great in that first pic Steve!

I remember the P100 at GT Battle, awesome!

 

you have the binifits of being able to see the pictures i have to imagine them

 

'AVE IT!!!

 

Class, love the royal wave

 

where's his front bumper?

 

removed, fell off, or smashed clean off, its drifting.

ive knocked my chaser front bumper off 3 times now already and ive hardly had a chance to drive it

this is the best pic of the sierra ive seen...

 

I agree , But then Ive only seen the ones you've posted on here

 

there loads, but the ones been posted here are the best.

some awesome ones of the other cars, but this is about the sierra.

BonBon, Phil, and Will in the big ass BMW daily drivers were the coolest tho

 

awesome

 

quality
i was trying to convince vroom tish to buy a 24v 3dr the other day but hes having none of it
looked a decent car for 2 and a half k aswell

 

Cool pic

 

steve is their any more days at lydd coming up?

 

got any pics of you drifting your chaser?

 

Less- Practice day there on 30th of January I think mate.

not really fucking drifted it yet, so no

had to miss 2 drift days because of work already but im booked on 3 drift days in the next month or so, 8th Dec, 17th Dec, and 31st Dec, so will have soon...

 

love the bm pics too,couple of my mates own a scappies and are giving me a 535i for the next crail(whenever that is),should be fun

 

Where abouts?

 

Smeatharpe (Devon), Silverstone, and Teeside.

Gutted im missing the one at Santapod on 5th Dec, but im in Germany

 

I thought I remembered years ago someone, may even have been you Stavros saying that Sierras don't have enough lock to do drifting? I presume this has been modified to fix this?

And as for no bumper, over here in NZ EVERY bloody tit in a Jap Car thinks he is a drift king and they all drive about with no bumpers!!! Arseholes!!!

 

No, i didnt.

They dont have huge amounts of lock, but people always use that as an excuse, they got enough to do just fine in.

Its not about angle, its about speed.

If your at 90deg all the time youd be going fucking slowly and lose anyhow

 

 

Whens the one at silverstone? Closest to me i think? i might come watch, havnt been to watch any drifting yet!

 

17th mate.

Not gonna be much to watch mate TBH, just people dicking about around a load of cones on the tarmac ATC area on the infield.

Silverstones about an hour away from us, 1.5hrs if going slow.

Best off waiting for an actual event before watching, id be bored as fook watching on a practice day!

 

This car is now for sale

oh yeah and ON DA RACK!

 

Yeah been there before not too far..any acutally drifting events coming up anytime soon at either silverstone or coombe then?

 

thinking of making my 24v xr4x4 rwd
