1989 FC Drift Build
 

Hey,
I'm Ela, here's my drift build...
I bought this car back in March of 2011 with the purpose of building a drift car.

The day I bought it:

Some weight reduction (I also removed the sound deadening, but I dont have the pics of that)

then I got some BC coilovers

i like what your setup you have going on i did the same to my SE how much were your coilovers? and how much weight did the roll cage add im planning of getting one soon

Thanks! I got a deal on the coils for $900 (compared to $1400 MSRP) and I'm not sure exactly how much weight but I know when I bought the car it weighed 2638, then I removed all the interior, sound deadening, A/C, ect, but my guess is only 50-100lbs, for the safety and the added structure it's totally worth the weight

Here are some aesthetics to give it my own personal touch, and just to remind people in case they forget that this is a girls car :)

Sorry but that doesn't strike me as "girly" so much as "blind".
But you go, girl.

Hey hey now, nobody said you have to look at it :P but I have this feeling you won't like my engine bay either....

Lets see it.

So I drove the car on the stock motor for about a year after I bought it, then in February 2012 I blew an apex seal (engine had about 90,000 miles on it, although not sure how accurate that is). It was time for a new motor. I had a bunch of different 13B's laying around the shop in all different conditions, some with better parts than others so I decided to combine pieces to make the best mix. (never actually taking the motors apart, just matching the miscellaneous pieces). The engine is a S5 TII 13B with a massive street port.

(It only has the top mount on for that pic until I can bring it to my fabricator.)

Nice work. It's colorful ha. But I dig it.

Pretty nice.

Are you colorblind?

Looks good! I like the black top mount btw. :)

Lookin good! Build is coming out super legit. 4 puck unsprung, like a boss

Looks good, just bought a T2 in just about the same condition you picked your car up in.

very nice work!

I sub'd

Thanks guys! Hopefully I'll be updating soon, just brought my car to a buddies shop so I can actually work on it, my neighbors were getting pissed at the 3"straight pipe and Gilmer screaming in their window. Have some tuning that needs to be worked out and I'll post some videos :D

im impressed...i like where this is going

Sick. Really blingy but super sick. Good job dude

you obviously posted this post to raise your post count

btw its not a dude its a woman.

Please refrain from post drivel.

To the Op keep up the good work.:icon_tup:

She may not have the organs of a man but she is just one of the guys. Trust me

Now just paint the outside :)

are you so sure about that Mark? maybe there is something I'm just not telling you



What's wrong with the white?I don't want to paint it now because there are more important things that my money can go to and I like the stock look of it. But eventually I will eventually need a paint job and I think I will be going to a white pearl with a heavy purple flake.

Nice FC, keep progress coming!
