SlideFX -- We're recruiting. The requirements? Hands and eyeballs.

[SFX_Pwner]

Did any of those paints work out for you Fadam?

 

[Fadam]

I haven't tried any of them out yet, I keep forgetting, lol. I'll try them after I finish grinding.

 

[BiggRayy]

Cro nice sliding in your ae86 last night and everyone else that was in the room !!!

 

[Fadam]

Some Team Touse for you, Cro

Ok, back on topic. Waht time is everyone getting on tonight?

 

[Guml8all]

Are you only allowed to drift AE86's?

I might have to buy one.

 

[Fadam]

For Team Mouse you can only drift the Trueno or Levin. The Shigeno version isn't allowed. But for SFX you can drift anything

Edit: I found a pretty precise Green that matches the Hatchi. It's called "Elm Green" It's metallic and if anyone has 1 or 2 going spare I'll love you long time, because I used my paint trades for today

Also, I sent send 2 colour kind of like the Trueno you're running to your SFX account for you to take a look at, Cro 👍

 

[Guml8all]

Woah I'm really confused. There are 2 drift teams? Mouse and SFX? And Adavicro leads both of them?

Which one can I try out for?

 

[Fadam]

SFX is our normal "main" team. Team Mouse is more a little club for a few select members who prove them selfs worthy of filling up a spot

 

[Guml8all]

OK got it. Thanks for the information. Any chance of there being a lobby up today/tonight?

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

Cro can I try out for team mouse

Of course you can, I said you could in your team thread yesterday, just come by the lobby and show you can kill it in a 86. 👍

Yeah man for sure, too bad I was half drunk as I wasn't drifting very well, but still a lot of fun.

Woah I'm really confused. There are 2 drift teams? Mouse and SFX? And Adavicro leads both of them?

Mouse and SFX are seperate, and usually we never hold any kind of tryout for SFX. For Mouse however, I think it speeds up the process of finding good drivers by having a more formal tryout. I've got some candidates for both teams. Hell, I may ask you if you'd like to join Mouse, SFX, or both, it all depends on your actions here and in the lobby. 👍


Nice pictures as well Adam, good for seeking out the perfect color match, I need to find a slightly brighter color for my Mouse 86. Also, I will try to get the lobby open earlier
than yesterday, I'm aiming for two hours or less.

 

[Fadam]

Yea, I'm going to dupe it to myself a couple of times before i put it on my car though.

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

I still need to find the perfect color, after seeing those
pictures I think mine needs to be just a little brighter.

 

[Fadam]

1 of the 2 i sent over might be abit closer. You'll have to take a look and let me know.

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

Thanks for sending I'll take a look, you ever find a decent green?

 

[BiggRayy]

Matte dark green is nice.

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

Matte dark green is nice.

...Yes it is, but we're discussing colors that closely match the real life Team Mouse colors, all of which are low saturation metallics for the most part. 👍

Just watching a bit of ID before I make a room, I'll post up here when its ready.


Edit: which account did you send the paint to Adam? Also, if someone needs an 86 for tryouts today I can send you one, let me know rather soon though as I plan to make the lobby shortly.

 

[Fadam]

I sent them to your SFX account

 

[Guml8all]

Also, if someone needs an 86 for tryouts today I can send you one, let me know.

Well I need an '86 (I've only got the S.S version), but I'm only planning to "tryout" for SFX today. Take things one step at a time.

And need to practice.

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

Well its a bit late as I sent a 198hp NA build to my SFX account, so no more trading today unfortunately. You can use the SS version temporarily if you like, as long as it has less than 216hp, its still better than nothing.

I just ate some lunch so I'm ready to rock, room going up in 10.

 

[Guml8all]

Actually, after a few hours of searching, a Levin came up in my UCD!

EDIT: I just fully tuned it, and I'm getting 269 hp..

Niceeee. I'm just upgrading some cars to tune tonight

The Team Mouse tryout lobby is open, here's a quick bit of information.

Name: [Mouse] Drift Tryouts
Room Number: 1472 - 6118 - 3830 - 2744 - 5237
Total Slots Available: 9
HP/Tire Cap: 355 and Comfort Mediums
Microphone Only
General Info: Regular "street" cars can come drift for fun pending people wanting to get in the lobby to tryout. For people that are trying out, you must drift either a Levin or Trueno, no Shinego versions please. You need to drift with comfort mediums and show that you can control your car well by displaying consistent drifting. All AE86s can not exceed 216hp, I will regularly put the cap down to 216 and check if it kicks anyone off the track. This is going to be a close knit group of only 5 people, with only 3 slots on Team Mouse available, so having a chill, easy to get along with personality will come first before your drifting skill.

Good luck. 👍

 

[SFX_Pwner]

Well I was planning on joining for a few before work but my wifey was to busy being a...... female.
Edit: Won't be home tonight but if you can get a lobby up around the same time tomorrow I'll jump on before work.

 

[Guml8all]

Fun drifting with all of you! Got over that stage fright .

Yeah man I'll try. 👍

Fun drifting with all of you! Got over that stage fright .

See, that wasn't so bad now was it?

 

[SFX_Pwner]

I was going to say, no need for stage fright in a SFX lobby. Just about everyone is welcome. haha

 

[pk_090]

You too, don't get too carried away hahaha...

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

Not a fan of double posting but I thought I'd just say that we have epic tornados in my state tonight, after the tragedy in Joplin, MO I'm nervous to say the least. According to the news there's a mile wide tornado in the West/Central part of Arkansas, and I live in the central part of the state. The only tornado warnings in the US are in my state right now.

Its times like these I stand back and say, seriously?

I hope it at blows over smoothly tonight, reports say houses destroyed and what not so.... yeah. Not cool.



Edit: local news and The Weather Channel confirm "mile wide" tornado...

Edit2: it seems that storm is losing its steam and should miss me completely, on that note I'm getting some sleep. Hopefully we'll get some drift action tomorrow.

 

[SFX_Pwner]

Good to hear dude. I just looked at some pictures from the tornado in Joplin and my jaw hit the floor. Some of the before and after pictures were just mind blowing.
Edit: I'll be on before work tomorrow to join in on the fun.
