problem is there isn't much in advertising so you're mainly on your own with a few sponsors. it sounds rough and i doubt it will get easier anytime soon.

take advice and even go out of your way to ask it, make things last as long as you can. even a tired 13B will go a few more seasons or just until the point it is so ragged that it won't start anymore without a fuel pump kill switch.

 

There are. Usually charge $200, and you get a bunch of people who cant speak english snapping allens off in your camber plates... I took it to hot line to get it aligned.

 

Between the social media sites, and word of mouth there is a lot more than one would imagine. I've personally been told by a few of the companies i work with, that their sales have went up, or the fact that people mention they saw ____ product, on my FC.

When i was talking to you regarding redoing the iron locally, i should've followed through....

 

Keep ya head up Buckey! Take a step back from the car and focus on the shop and paying down debt. It'll take time, but once you get that done you'll be able to focus on the car and drifting much better. You just need a clear mind and right now you're just burnt out with everything. That ****'ll make you make poor decisions.

And don't sell the car! You'll regret it big time. My fc didn't even have half the work you have into yours and when I sold it, I felt like a part of me left with it.

 

this whole build thread is the reason i got another rx7 instead of another 240. you need to just simplify the whole thing to get some seat time man.. good luck.

 

Thanks to everyone pumping me up, and Helping me out with advice ive got some more work in on the car this weekend.

 

Nice Dude! Ill be out soon with my fc.... Then Vegas tandem!

 

Dude i hope so. We have yet to drive together. It should be running soon. Hopefully drifting in a few weeks.

 

I love your car and your devotion to drifting, keep up the great work! Just saying.

 

Nice looking car man, it's gonna be a fierce competitor when its back out there.

 

Thanks guys! I hope so. I cant wait.

 

I'll be in Vegas end of July. I'll give you a hug for motivation. Dat canadian love.

 

Hahaha word. No homo

Been waiting for payment on a few jobs, and parts to finish this thing up so i got down on making sure the paint was in check. You know, gotta keep drift cars looking fresh and all...






Seriously getting amped on it again now that its close. Need 2 -6 weld ons for the primary rail and hopefully by the time i get those on ill have the trigger wheel connector here and be able to start it on the AEM and figure out where to go from there

 

Everything is AN'd from brake booster vacuum - PS Lines.


Waiting on the Touge Factory Pulleys still. But finally with Power Steering for the first time ever. Rolled off the assembly line with a manual rack and first time ive owned an FC with PS

 

love this car. hopefully we can slide together one day!

 

Lookin great dude our engine bays look very similar hopefully they'll both be terrorizing soon

 

BUCKEYS FC IS A PRETTY KOO SETUP.. I KNW THE DUDE., HES DOIN NEW PLANS ON HIS RED FC N IS ALSO GETTN TO BE ANOTHR SIK SETUP AS WELL.

 

Thanks for the kind words!



Here's a teaser of whats coming very soon. Ditched thew new 35r for this better sized 45r. 1.00 hot side. 70mm a/r charge side. Hoping to find a power fc, or haltech to send the aem back to my friend. Anyone have any leads for cheap? Ps1k haltech or complete fd power fc/comander?

 

^ahhh.. you should've kept the 35R.. the 45 will get you 600whp.....but you'll get it at 8500rpm.. and prob grenade your motor. With the 45r..you'll prob hit 16lbs around 5100-5400rpm... wayyyy too laggy for any useable powerband on a drift car man... Can't go wrong with a 35r.. quick response...good for 460whp on any decently sized street port.. Get it back... let the drag guys and dyno queens run the big snails.

 

This is sized the same size as the 35r (but t4) that made 480whp on this motor at 15psi. Ill gce it a shot and if it sucks sell it and try to find a better sized 35r. The other one needed a ton of boost for it to feel right. Hence the 24psi missile runs.

 

^ 480 at what rpm? My old 4088r made 460whp at 16lbs ....but full boost by 4800Rpm isnt much fun in a drift car. The turbo you're using is good for 700whp on a rotary...prob 750ish. for comparison reasons... Saitos sc430 is pushing around 800-900whp using a gtx42r.. 10% more efficient across the board compared with the older gt series but its still a 42R. just saying...I've seen well built35r's do 480-500whp on rotaries... And they'll come on around 3500rpm..

 

ya my motor only makes 400 with a turbo too big. Just gotta be down for the 1/2 clutch and clutch bombs like crazy to keep the revs up. Makes the car hard to drive, but its all do-able.

 

Engine bay is clean. I like that. Looks like a good runner

 

Swing by the Vegas Drift booth at Formula Drift Vegas this Friday, and Saturday! The Vegas Drift guys were nice enough to let me have the FC on display this weekend as it's still not finished. Come check it out in person and say whats up!

 

ZOMG BNSTICKERSSSSSS
