project W.A.S.P. : I can't believe it's not butter! (fine - it's a pro-am build.)
blah blah I have this FC. it rips pretty good. hotline knuckles, hotline cage, ect ect
13B power FC, 1000CC injectors, real GP Sports dual exhaust. it looks janky right now. paint and aero will be finished up in like a week or two.
topdrift pro-am round 1: qualified 6th out of 48 cars. knocked out by dave briggs in top 16; spun out on my lead lap. I qualified and competed in top 16 with a bent lateral link and completely messed up rear toe.
topdrift pro-am round 2: AKA this last weekend . . . saturday practice. I broke a tierod end right at the shank, supernow ones. NOOOOO! DK had a stock balljoint end and I tried that but it was pretty terrible - car wouldn't drive straight let alone drift. Sunday morning, JTP saves the day and brings me a new shank. BUT it's too
large to fit thru the heim. Mr. Gunthrie had some air tools and an angle grinder so I
shaved down the barrel of the shank to make it fit. reassembled my steering, then
realigned it with toe plates in the pits, went out and qualified 10th out of 50 cars!
I was so stoked; the car drove awesome like nothing ever happened. I went up against Dan Brockett from New Mexico - we went one more time and I won! then
as fate would have it . . . I had to go toe-to-toe with Dave Briggs again in his incredible S14. it was a really really good battle but Dave just edged out with the win.
still had a blast! anyway, the car. it's getting paint and URAS aero in the next week or so. then eventually probably a T04B bolt-on'er, FMIC and more injector; along with a re-tune.
oh yeah on with the photos I guess.
