Well after a long battle with school, and other life experience. I got in back on the road tonight
I have had to replace many stripped and battled bolts, replaced the axle a few times, figure out the wiring behind the car, and overall, make it somehow driveable
But here we go, 2013 we are going to be ready - prepare yourself's.
I still have a few thing left to finalize, but fortunately, I have some times before pro-am starts
- Alignment ( which will require a few new parts )
- Proper tires
- Seat bracket welded up
- new exhaust muffler
- finish wiring up driving lights
- Buy gauges ( only rpm and speedo work on car )
- buy a few things to make it pretty

Did you get aftermarket seat brakets or did you just modify the stock ones? Im a little over 6 feet and couldnt get my bride seat any lower on my stock rails and my head still barely hits the roll cage i have. Mind explaining what you did to get them lower?

basically... There are two raised sections for the seat to mount on the drivers side. I cut out the rear section and made a new plate to mount the seat.
I'm also 6'3 so I feel your pain. I sit much lower and now my head does not hit my roll cage.

This deserves an update - I have since put on SS AN oil cooler lines, and just been slightly changing the characteristics of the car... alignments mostly and different sets of tires.
I have just a little bit of time left in vegas, so I may want to sell it if anyone was interested - we can set up an arrangement with the car.
In the mean time, the car pulls hard, drives amazing, and is too much fun

So - for the record, school destory's all drifting life
But it is all paying off real soon as I believe I landed an awesome job and will be looking forward to having fun again
In the mean time, I have bought various small knick knacks for the car
I also got myself a set of these bad boys

You know, I'll be honest, I have not been around these parts in quite a while, but I am still doing what I can
I put a body kit on my car now and painted it.
Also did a bunch of miscellaneous things, like alignments, adjustments, and stuff.
I think this is the first time I have actually had a good looking car now :P
I'll be in Phoenix coming up quick here for another pro-am event. not trying to win at all, but just going out to drive again.
