Buckey Laing's FC RX7 Build - Journey to Formula Drift

[driftfcbuckey]

This is the only video i have until the 20th - still stock turbo 8psi.. no more drifting 'till the tune is refreshed with my 35r/tial 44mm wastegate and we can make it to Doug's Dyno Power for the Dyno session.
bald tires + tons of angle = slow motion ice skating. these spindles are nuts!

if you watch it, turn on HD. i think the sound is slightly off but it may be just my computer.

Lovin' all the coverage of my newly revamped FC! hate to say it but i smashed it up a bit some riding doors last night before blowing enough money at the WSOP to replace my motor entirely.... Hope you enjoy! i'm sleeping away my sorrows!

I know how that feels .. I have been wanting to play the wsop since I came out, but every penny goes into my pile of parts im putting off putting on the vert hahaha..

Did you play cash games there or the smaller tourny's ?
Doesn't your dad play as well, your last names familiar ?
Im always down for some cards ....

The pics from lifeblasters looks awesome ... How bad was the door to door ?

Yea he's a bracelet holder. He hasn't really done anything for awhile, which is pretty gay but is just how it goes.

the tandems were cool, my car has a ton of traction even with the stiff springs so it just kinda sinks up into people easy.

Waking up to your dream car everyday is pretty nice!


going to spend all day double checking everything, and take it out for some freeway tuning to take out some fuel later tonight hopefully. if anyone wants to cruise around, and get some food hit me up! 702 370 0577

dialed in my car a little the past few days. thinking about taking it to udrift for some 3rd gear action. i want to mess around with back wards entries and just finish the setup. if anyone wants to go, or is planning on going hit me up. ive never driven there so i need to see when they open, and whatnot.

They are open 6pm to midnight.  All week.
They also just setup a new track layout.
The layout is basically a ribbon with a kink at the end.
3rd gear entry, 2nd gear sweeper, and a down shift into 1st at the kink.

i dont have many tires so im probably just going to mess around on entries. are you going? is there tire mounting available for a price?

If i'm around this weekend i'll roll out.

No they don't have a tire machine up there.  They may have one at their shop, but not at the track.

dang i'm surprised they dont. easy money to be made.
cool thanks for the info though i might roll down there. i'm having withdrawals.

i need to get my washed up ass back into drift mode.

[s13yaobling]

I know you need to get out there and go have some fun. I think you'll love the track layout, get to stretch your legs a lil on a little bigger track. Let us know if your going to go and what day, me and Gray will try to get out there with ya.

[FmD7]

Anymore vids I hit you up to go for food the other day you never got back to me how's everything

that would be awesome. i will for sure. Vegas Rotary is meeting up out there on thursday to drive/drift. i may bust it out again some. i want to hit up shusekis on the way back from udrift.

i went out there tonight for an hour. did like 4 laps just trying to monitor everything. i think i cracked another iron but i'm hoping it's just my horrible stock oil cooler lines pissing fluid out... car ran like a champ despite a little breaking up (spark keeps blowing out) but it's definitely a whole new beast. never had so much angle in any car i've ridden in/driven before.

here's a video of my first run with some llanteras mix matched profile tires. another reason i didnt want to drive much was my baller diff just getting railed on by uneven tires...

then another one. nothing crazy. ice skate tires suck but it was definitely good to get back into tossing my car around. i've been having withdrawals everyday for the last 7 months.

definitely a good shake down. definitely pumped on the udrift guys for supporting vegas pro-am, vegas drift, and the entire vegas scene in general. pretty cool no one has to grow up on the streets being stupid especially with the monthly pro-am/practice events with VD. Hope to see everyone at round 3 with my new turbo setup, and some more reliability mods.

i never saw it. shit, sorry dude. i rarely grab the phone lately. just trying to bust out work, and make some money to knuckle down and focus on this drifting thing.

thursday vegas rotary is meeting up at Udrift to hangout, and drive. i will be leaving early (most likely) to hit up shusekis underground garage meet, and hangout. roll through dude!
