I was reading through this a couple months ago glad to see your back and got everything swapped over. You still trying to get into it and do some pro-am stuff?

backalleyracer 06-22-12 11:03 AM

More than likely, I will be pushing to run in 2013 hardcore. The season is almost over here, and I just barely got the car up... Plus this year I will be finished with school and I start my new job.

backalleyracer 09-02-12 02:23 AM

Well after a long battle with school, and other life experience. I got in back on the road tonight

I have had to replace many stripped and battled bolts, replaced the axle a few times, figure out the wiring behind the car, and overall, make it somehow driveable

But here we go, 2013 we are going to be ready - prepare yourself's.

I still have a few thing left to finalize, but fortunately, I have some times before pro-am starts :)

- Alignment ( which will require a few new parts )
- Proper tires
- Seat bracket welded up
- new exhaust muffler
- finish wiring up driving lights
- Buy gauges ( only rpm and speedo work on car )
- buy a few things to make it pretty


Drive :)

Did you get aftermarket seat brakets or did you just modify the stock ones? Im a little over 6 feet and couldnt get my bride seat any lower on my stock rails and my head still barely hits the roll cage i have. Mind explaining what you did to get them lower?

backalleyracer 10-03-12 03:32 AM

basically... There are two raised sections for the seat to mount on the drivers side. I cut out the rear section and made a new plate to mount the seat.

I'm also 6'3 so I feel your pain. I sit much lower and now my head does not hit my roll cage.

backalleyracer 12-22-12 06:33 PM

This deserves an update - I have since put on SS AN oil cooler lines, and just been slightly changing the characteristics of the car... alignments mostly and different sets of tires.

I have just a little bit of time left in vegas, so I may want to sell it if anyone was interested - we can set up an arrangement with the car.

In the mean time, the car pulls hard, drives amazing, and is too much fun :)

driftfcbuckey 12-23-12 12:31 AM

backalleyracer 12-24-12 06:18 PM

So - for the record, school destory's all drifting life :)

But it is all paying off real soon as I believe I landed an awesome job and will be looking forward to having fun again :)

In the mean time, I have bought various small knick knacks for the car

And so it begins

backalleyracer 02-26-14 07:02 PM

You know, I'll be honest, I have not been around these parts in quite a while, but I am still doing what I can :)

I put a body kit on my car now and painted it.

Also did a bunch of miscellaneous things, like alignments, adjustments, and stuff.

I think this is the first time I have actually had a good looking car now :P

I'll be in Phoenix coming up quick here for another pro-am event. not trying to win at all, but just going out to drive again.
