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?

 

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.

 

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

 

Tie rod ends. Do it. Last night was death...

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?

 

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.

 

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

 

Cash ready if its not $10k again

 

10k all day !

:P

It's going to be a great season

 

subbed, looking forward to see how it goes this season

 

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







I also got myself a set of these bad boys

 

And so it begins

 

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.

 

cool
