 Wednesday – Load In/Tech Our first road trip of the 2022 Formula DRIFT PROSPEC season was a 14-hour drive to Orlando Speed World for Round 1. My team and I arrived on Wednesday afternoon. Entering our third year of Formula DRIFT, the SC300 was up to par with all the rules and passed tech quickly. We are happy to announce that we pitted with Alex Lichliter and will continue to for the rest of the season. Alex and I have known each other for quite some time now, beginning from our grassroots days. It is amazing to see how we climbed up the ranks and are now competing together in one of the biggest platforms in drifting.

 Weds - Load in
Since we live in Maryland, New Jersey is the closest Formula Drift event of the year. Our drive was only 4 hours away, so load in was extremely casual for us. We got in around 6pm, and proceeded with unloading the car and setting up our pit. After we unloaded, we went out for some supplies and dinner. Chris Tugwell met us later in the night. He brought his pop up trailer and pitted next to us. We were excited to be back in Jersey! Alex Lichliter sits down to share his recap of the entire Formula Drift Orlando event; from checking in and tech, to qualifying and top 32, all the way through to the end of the competition weekend.

NST - NonStopTuning www.NonStopTuning.com  Did you know NonStopTuning has the ability and expertise to offer special order items for tuners who require pulleys specifically machined to their unique needs? Need a custom pulley for your supercharger, crankshaft, or water pump? We've got you covered! Browse our website first to see if we already offer what you need, and if we don't, please email us and provide a few photos of the pulleys you are interested in (ideally off the engine and accessories) and we'd be happy to provide more info regarding availability, price, etc. after reviewing your pictures. FAQ: Q: Can you make custom lightweight pulleys for any application? A: Almost! We are one of very few companies with 15+ years of experience in this field. Q: Can I send you measurements or do I have to send you my OEM pulleys? A: In many cases we already have engineering data based on past experience and you can provide custom sizes for a quote, but we will need you to send in OEM pulleys if/when we do not have existing data. Q: Do custom pulleys take long to manufacture? A: Do to the nature of the beast here, and several external factors, custom pulleys can require 30-40 days to machine, anodize, and ship. Please don't wait till the last minute if you know your project is time sensitive. Q: Are custom pulley kits expensive? A: We do our best to keep prices as affordable as possible, you can browse our website for an idea of what most our kits cost, of course custom one-off products always cost more. Feel free to email us for a quote and we'd be happy to do our best to help. Q: Which custom pulleys are the most popular and why? A: Supercharger pulleys are the most popular of all the custom pulleys we offer, because changing the size of a supercharger pulley directly affects boost/psi numbers, we also offer a larger number of lightweight crank, alternator, water pump, and power steering pulleys. All of these pulleys are very popular because the weight reduction (NST Pulleys are apx 70% lighter than OEM) leads to improved throttle response, better horsepower and torque delivery to the wheels, and better fuel economy. 
NST - NonStopTuning www.NonStopTuning.com We get these question A LOT: I really like the look of the NST Quick Releases and Steering Wheel Tilts, are they hard to install? What all do I need to install an aftermarket steering wheel? How long does this usually take? ANSWERS: There are three main components; you need to start with a Hub, from there you can either install your six bolt aftermarket steering wheel directly to your hub, or you can add a Quick Release and/or Tilt in between your hub and wheel. Watch our latest DIY video for a complete walk through on Brad's BRZ. This process is very similar for other makes and models. You just need to make sure you get a Hub for your make and model, everything else is almost universal. Feel free to browse our site for various options and drop us an email if you have any questions and/or need any help. NST - NonStopTuning www.NonStopTuning.com |
