Default D1 Grand Prix - Member Photo's and Experiences

I just got back tonight from D1 and have to say it was the best car event that I have been to ever. A myriad of beautiful show cars, models, and most important, drift cars. The action was intense and I found myself constantly picking rubber off my face when standin gin the infield. Not only that I was able to see the competing vehicles up close and chat with the drivers. Most interesting was Rhys Milllen driving the Pontiac GTO, and was succesful in competing closelty with his JDM counterparts. A good show of vendors at the event too and I manged to snag some goodies before the 5 hour drive north back home.

Anywars here's a link to my higher res album of the pics I took.

They are not watermarked so to not obscure anything, but don't pass them off as your own. And below are some of the low resolution teasers.

That would be an RB26DETT engine swap, not a new plenum


EDIT

On second thought, the block looks really short. It could even be an SR20DET
