budget rx7 fd drift car build, from the uk ;)

hi guys names hary and from the uk, iv been wanting an rx for some time now and have finnaly got one

this is my curent car running 398 bhp built by me, all forged stich welded bay etc








the spec of my fd is unkown, will be collecting tommorow

got it for £1400

full car with dead engine
spare dead engine
ally rad
full kit
wing
alloys

it has no sunroof and twin oil coolers so i believe it to be an r1? if some one could confirm or possibly tell me the origanl spec of my i would really appreciate it

this will be no fast build of expensive parts ill do all work where i can, but mapping and cage building will be left to the experts

will be stripping the car to a much lighter weight and hopefully be building a near 400 bhp car that slides and handles well?

am very excited to get my hands on the engine

few pics from the add

Haha yea it's a bit tOkyo drift stylee, but fear not in time it will be getting painted

I have removed some of the parts like skirts wings and bumpers to be sold will also be removing all interior and then the engine etc

engine bay will be stich welded as it made such a difference on turn in on my silvia

Iv also got the fun job of removing the tracker and alarm, took a quick look at the wiring er yea it's a mess lol

And yea thanks il get the chassis number up asap
