FD3S - Driftproject - Denmark
 
Hi, everybody!

In August 2010 i bought this FD on auction in Japan, the condition is very good (3.5)
im very happy and satified about it, and love the way it handle.. onfortuanatly ive only driftet it one time on a track, then problems started to come with my vaccum system, so while i were in a drift the boost droped and the car got from oversteering to understeering, right into some water barriers! therefore i decided to take a year out of the calender and build it into a propper driftcar.

i will post pictures from the start and as it is know!

the fd driven to my mate thomas's garage where we will build it...
the tezza you see on the pic is my old witch i crashed last year :smash:

http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...n/DSC_0910.jpg

modified my knucles last night pretty easy job to do, can highly be recommended.. we fittet som aftermarket knucles on my friends JZX100 and it does the same job exept i got more lock! :D

here we go step by step in case of anybody else wants to do it:

first you cut it where it did (30mm from) then cut 20mm of the part you cutted of
http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...ovlsen/1-1.jpg

then grind the edges ind 45 degrees so you get a V welding, make sure to have 3mm space between for a good and strong weld!

Denmark huh? How much did you have to pay in taxes to import that car? I hear it's crazy. I thought everyone rode bicycles there ;)

I haven't been to Denmark in a few years but I think I still have a dkbn profile lol

Povlsen 12-08-11 11:36 AM

yes, taxes in denmark are CRAZY! but since ive got my one company at the time i imported it, i played a little with the numbers, so the tax for importing it was about 1000 dollars :) BUT i i wanted it to drive on the road with licensplates i will have to pay 2000 dollars for get it approoved and hold on tight 22.000 dollars to get it on license plates!... its redicueless country when it comes to cars
