GT Radial/SAE Motorsport Drift FD3S
 

whats up guys, I am Tyler Wolfson. This is my FD3S and I've had this car for a couple years now and its been through a lot of crap. Crashed it into lots of things and had a lot of fun with it. The time has come to completely rebuild it from scratch and I am going to do my best to share my build with you guys.

I can't say what series we will be running next year yet but I can say it will be drifting. Our goal is to create a car that runs problem free and is a lot of fun to drive. We have been fortunate enough to have a good bit of support for this season and are able to finally build a quality car.

Thanks Turblown, can't wait to get my manifold!

DK absolutely! always good times. Tandems with you at XDC or whatever they called it was a blast.

We made a little progress today on the cage and test fitting some of the body work. Also started on the bracing for our transmission. and harness goods!

Nice. Looking further for more updates!

I don't mean to steal Tyler's thunder here, but I have a feeling he is way to busy getting ready for next month;

GT Radial USA

^^ that's awesome its going to be fun watching this build.

I talked to Tyler a few days ago. He hasn't slept in 3 days...but the car has a base tune. and the car is absolutely immaculately built. FUll custom adjustable arms etc. A dead serious machine :icon_tup:

I'm not competing but I plan to use my FD mostly for local drift events. FD's are brand new to me, I look forward to this thread...
