Can I get an update....

Kinda random but I painted my helmet Satin black




I haven't gotten much time to work on my FC because I've been building 240s and strangely enough a Drift E36



But anyway I replaced all my bushings and actually have aftermarket rear suspension components now. It turns out I drive all last year with a broken individual camber adjuster on the passenger side.


It turns out that when you widen your front track and build for lots of angle you need new brake lines. I made a set out of DOT approved 3AN SS line and fittings


On a negative note, Trans is FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


But I'm fixing it.


But on a positive note. Monster Clutches gave me a partial sponsorship on my new setup





They're cool dudes

I was thinking about getting a new set of coilovers (Currently rockin pretty old Tein Super Drifts) I have been looking at the Fortune Auto stuff. Anyone have any opinions or experiences with them?

ItS a combination of mazdatrix stuff. I have the bump steer ends with the angle kit rack spacers and custom knuckles and ball joints.

I take it you didn't have to shorten the outer tie rods then.

I'm modding my spindles soon, but it looks like ill be stuck with stock everything else for a while. Was thinking about retaining the stock pickup locations and just adding the angle points to the spindles, but fabbing tie rod ebds with untapered

I can try to dig up the list I had. My old setup that I made used custom tie rod ends I pieced together with 14mm hardened steel bolts. They held up well.

Schmitty: "because you can't have a drift car without an obnoxious color scheme! "

I guess I didn't get that memo. I caged my car and painted it Black and gray haha



I had this bolt in battery mount that I always hated, so I built this one which I like more







I also chopped and threw in the dash board



Then I put on the front and rear windshields and the rear over fenders

Yeah I think I Will spray a little of it but I'm def keeping the engine bay and tube front white. I originally did that so in case there was a fluid leak I could see it easily.

They were shavings as well as entire gear teeth. 1-2 3-4 synchros are going to get replaced, so are a bunch of other things. Luckily the drive gears are in perfect condition.
