Pandamonium Drift Gemini at Stadium Drift Round 1, 2012
Eli the Drift Panda at Round 1 of Stadium Drift SA, 2012 -
The first Pro class battles were wet and slippery, and the second round of battles were patchy. Very challenging conditions - but by the final battles the track was nice and dry, and the speeds went up. The real fun (for me at least) was in the open session from lunchtime onwards. I've included footage of lots of close tandems, and some near misses!
The day went off without a hitch, with no accidents or mechanical issues, and lots of passenger rides for friends and family. The next round is May 19th at Tailem Bend!

Stadium Drift SA kicks off 2012 - Eli the Drift Panda
มุมมอง 1.3K12 ปีที่แล้ว
The 2012 season is here, so I thought I'd post up my highlights from the open drift prac day to get you all keen for the first round! The new track layout was awesome! I was getting an extra 10-20km/h on entries into corner 1, and spent the whole day honing tandems and entries. Oh, and I just want to say, the incar near the end, I don't usually handbrake into corner 1! I needed to adjust my lin...
Drift Panda at Mallala Matsuri, Summer 2012
มุมมอง 1.6K12 ปีที่แล้ว
Here it is - the much anticipated summer Matsuri at Mallala Motorsport Park, kicking off 2012. I've finally edited a nice shiny video - if you like it, share it! The day went off without a hitch. It was warm, in the mid thirties, but the car didn't miss a beat. I only had one bender, a minor tap from behind. My ~52kw beast managed to pop two tyres completely, one on the skidpan and one on corne...

What an incredible day. Stadium Drift SA Round 3, 05/11/11. The car ran beautifully, the track layout was perfect, and I had a blast. This was taken at 7:48PM - after a full day's drifting, the Gemini was still laying down run after run! Also, I have no exhaust in this video... it broke at the bottom of the header and was just hanging there under car.. the G180Z almost sounded tough!! Credit to...
Birthday drift train, Stadium Drift at Tailem Bend

After the last tap from Benny, I decide to see how close I can get to him. The four car drift train was fun, wish we had more runs like this. Note how slippy the clutch is - it was being a pain all day. Also, sorry about the little rage skid at the end, I was a bit pissed at all the dents I'd put on my car throughout the day, and it was the last run... Expression session at Stadium Drift SA rou...
Yet another crash video (damnit Benny!)

I get another love tap from Benny. Note how slippy the clutch is - it was being a pain all day. This was during the expression session at Stadium Drift SA round 2, 2011. Cars are, R32 - Cameron Haygreen, T18 - Alex Dearman, KE70 - Benny Shumacher, and Gemini (incar) - yours truly, Eli Duykers.
Matsuri in-car tandems with Eli
มุมมอง 31413 ปีที่แล้ว
These were the best in-car tandem vids from Mallala Drift Matsuri, July 2nd, 2011. The track conditions were pretty crazy, ranging from slippery as ice, to grippy with damp patches hiding. It was a great challenge, and by the end of the night I was doing a lot better. There were definitely some crummy runs, but there were some great ones, and some scary moments. Between corner 1 and 2, one run,...
Mallala Drift Matsuri '11 - Eli out of car
มุมมอง 24813 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a compilation of the out-of-car videos taken by my partner at Matsuri! The track was crazy slippery, as you can see... A couple of corners I don't seem to do anything on, it's generally because someone else has spun (I had my fair share too)! We did lots of crazy tandem runs later in the day, but conditions didn't lend themselves to videoing. Keep an eye out for the in-car compilations t...
Crash video with Benny in-car - Mallala Drift Matsuri 2011

The track had been wet and extremely slippery, but for this session it dried up. I had trouble breaking traction for most of the run, so I attempted the usual dry track scando entry... But on the transition, the track was suddenly not so dry... Benny and I both went for a spin, and unfortunately I pulled up a bit too fast. After a year of drifting without a scratch, here it is!

Eli's Gemini at Stadium Drift 2011 round 1
มุมมอง 2K13 ปีที่แล้ว
This kicks off the 2011 SA series competitions for Stadium Drift... They changed the clipping points which made for an awesome day. On the first corner, the aim was to get as wide as possible, out near the cones from a sharp flick (not long scando's like I usually do). Then we had to come in towards the inner apex, then back out wide for the left u-turn onto the bowl. I had a great day, and got...
Esses with Jarrod, ran wide on the entry
มุมมอง 18313 ปีที่แล้ว
This is one of my runs as seen from the esses. The video cut off my entry unfortunately, I was going scando's with a few links down the straight into the first corner shown. This one I ran wide and put a wheel off, so lost a bit of speed and had a straighten. Otherwise awesome fun! The blue 86 is my mate Jarrod. My first day out at Mallala. Had an intermittent problem with cut-outs turning left...
Another early run, Murphy behind
มุมมอง 13713 ปีที่แล้ว
So much fun! Unfortunately this is pretty much flat out for me... Need more power! My first day out at Mallala. Had an intermittent problem with cut-outs turning left, but had it fixed by the time the sun went down. The car ran great, I had an awesome time.
Early run, not bad
มุมมอง 9013 ปีที่แล้ว
This run I screwed up a bit because I couldn't really feel where the fronts were pointing! The surface felt so slippery, which was awesome, but a few times I lost feeling on the front end. Time to change the front tyres methinks! Also this was one of my first runs of the day, so I needed more speed! My first day out at Mallala. Had an intermittent problem with cut-outs turning left, but had it ...

@jordan De Vaux - A slow one! 56rwkw, G180Z SOHC 1.8L with a single 32/36 downdraft weber, mild cam and extractors. Slow as hell. It's getting a real engine built at the moment, hence the lack of videos! But if you have a nice suspension setup, you can drift with inertia and keep the car sideways, which is what I would do. This engine is a tiny bit slower than most stock 4AGE engines.. I'd recommend something a lot more powerful ie turbo, or a better NA build.
What engine is this gem running??
great job bro hope to meet u one day what are you driving now?
Hey man, I'm building a better, faster motor for this car... but it's taking awhile as I have waayyyy too many projects. I'll be back out in this thing one day. In the meantime I'm working on my street Isuzu Piazza, I'm wiring in a Microtech ECU and fitting a bigger turbo and injectors... and one of my street Geminis, a TE sedan I've done a whole heap of rust repairs on and a full respray, a brake upgrade and am fitting a G180W (fuel injected twincam from Japan). I do miss drifting the orange Gemini though, and can't wait to get back in it!
oh poor girly she got a love tap. shes so cute..
oh man this makes me feel so good just building my 1.8 now
lol "how does he get that to go so quick" fuckin love it.
It made me a sad panda!
It was actually such low speed it was hard to keep it sideways without spinning. Mind you I was the noobest noob back then!
Thanks! Definitely had fun doing it :D
nice work , well done !
cant evan throw it sidewayz in the water hahaha
If you have any trouble finding the mag locally, get in touch with Sleeka Spares, they post them Auswide! facebook (dot) com/Sleekaspares
Yeah mate, she had been getting progressively better with each event she competes in, ill have to have a look at that mag, thanks mate!
Thanks Pete! You need to come out for a passenger run!
It's alright, I've got the big block G180Z hahaha, powerhouse!
Kelly Wong from Sleeka Spares - yeah! She's great to tandem with, plus totally awesome and knows what she's talking about, she's got a nice big feature in the new Drift Battle mag!
Was that Kelly Woo you were drifting with?
he wasnt happy with u panda :/
Awesome my friend! Chevetters life \o/
bloody nice video! good work. nice driving too ;)
@callum853 My track car doesn't run a G180W, it's just a G180Z (SOHC). Do some reading on OzGemini...
@turbo4tw Thanks man! Check out the new videos, this one's ancient ;)
nice drifts bro :) gem <3
Thanks for the positive comments everyone! I'll have to do more proper edits!
Good vid man, good to see a Gem out there carving it up :)
Amazing video!!!! I really love it, nice drift and cool vibe. Keep them coming.
@steve000ish Thanks! Nah just normally aspirated, only running a 32/36 weber at the moment. Forced induction is on the cards, but a little way off yet!
I can't believe how well you are drifting that beast.. Not forced induction??
@diablostallionweezle I think he meant in general, although it's not a super quick car it keeps up surprisingly well through the corners with the others! But thanks, the transitions seem to be pretty quick because I have no power (lol) so there isn't much wheelspin in it! There's another transition technique I want to try, but I can't til I get more power..
@GEMWRC Thanks man! So happy with how the car was going, I just want to do more events now! Can't wait for more power too ;)
Great Run Eli , Best Panda Drift yet , your improving more each event ! Go the gems
i watched the other video and wasnt sure of what u hit....... this one clears that out for me.....
@Driftkid0909 Hey man, it was Alex Dearman's - aka wrenchesinthegears (see other comment)!
Who's T18 is that? Do they need another one setup for drifting? Because I've got one to go haha.
@diablostallionweezle Yeah, apparently clutches hate getting oil spilt on them. Who'da thunkit. Damnit haha.
@wrenchesinthegears Cheers man haha, your T18 isn't slow. I might have done better if the clutch freaking worked :( was slipping hard!
nice vid eli, that was a pretty sweet run, pats on backs all round lol
Up at Tailem Bend! It's the old Mitsubishi testing grounds :D
Thanks everyone!! Yeah this is with the lock spacers. And yeah around 56rwkw, oh and the ignition system was all twisted wires after the electronic ignition gave out and I had to "race fit" an old points dizzy... lol. I'm loving the fender mirrors though! Really shows the look I'm going for with this car, instead of what everyone generally thinks when they see a Gemini! Jono, soon as I put the incar vids up you'll see your wagon a bit more ;) And Dman whatchu talkin' bout, you're my mate too!
awesome vids eli. even got 2 runs in there when the wagon wasnt being to nasty to , im all set for matsuri now,,,, cant wait
my mate, well not my mate but my mates mate, he just full on drifts
@diablostallionweezle Heheh yeah, the video cut it off but I *think* on this run I went too deep on the scando, then tried to straighten it a bit to keep it on the track... Which ended up straightening a bit too much and plowing the front! I didn't have too much understeer by comparison, although the fronts are getting a bit rubbish.. Perhaps time to change them!
Heheh, thanks! Most of it's in third, besides the S across the skidpan, and the first bit of the bowl (big long left). I need a run-up for third, but once it does it, it's awesome! Bit embarrassing at the end, I think it cut out for a split second on the transition (listen carefully!) then I over-compensated and took out a cone! Hahaha all good fun!
Yeah, the bowl's a tricky one, second will scream awesomely, spin the wheels.. but then it'll grip up and run out of legs! Third just doesn't have the power to keep them turning! It's a trade-off. If I hit it with enough speed I can get most of the way around on third and natural, but otherwise second gives stacks more response!
Thanks man!! Had so much fun. Hooked it a bit hard at the start on the scando, thought I might get friendly with the outside tyres before corner 1 hahaha...
cheers boeeeeny :D tandems soon!!
nice work drift panda
