I'm poor build thread
 

So, I figured I'd show the progress of where my current fc is headed.
Remember this car:

Well, it now is in Albuquerque NM.
One of my good friends put a cage in it:

Well, he then sold it to another one of our friends, who kinda did nothing to it and the car sat for a long time getting forgotten and such. I wrecked my first fc drifting, so I was eager to find another. The guy who owned this car just happened to want to sell it, and I got it for $1500. He couldn't figure out why it wouldnt run right, which I easily found out to be that it had 750cc secondaries with no management, which was easily rectified with some 550cc injectors all around. (for now)
How it looked when I brought it home:

I had a lot of parts from my totaled fc, like PBM coils, Sparco Rev, Personal wheel, Abercrombie knuckles/ball joints. Found a front bumper and some shitty oem fenders while I saved up for Shineauto fenders

Started taking it to the track

For wheels, I have some random 16x7 5 spoke wheels I would run up front, then some 16x9/16x11 Starion Wheels I'd run in the rear.
But, i found these for sale local for $500

!7x9 +40/18x10 +45 Shitty offsets, but I had 25/30mm spacers.

Ripped apart the interior to start putting in the PBM hydro

Sorry the pictures are shitty, but my camera was stolen so iphone is all I got for now. I plan to put on a kit and drive the car till the motor blows.

Oh man, this is cool. Good to know it was the injectors that made it run that way, cuz i was thinking about running the same setup on my current fc lol

Yeah it ran like shit until I swapped em haha. We're you the one who sold it to my buddy tony?
Also, I did have the kit that used to be on it on my other FC, but it was destroyed when I totaled the car

i dont think his name was tony. i had it when it looked like the first pic

good work. Your fc is coming together nicely.

that car wash looks depressing.

Thanks. I cant wait to get a kit. I'm thinking a BN type II knockoff. Maybe different wheels too.

And yeah, welcome to new mexico, the whole state is as depressing as that car wash.

I just bought a set of these wheels, 18x9.5 I wonder if they were yours, Slava. Sell them to a guy named Dealen?

Yeah i did actually

god dammit i love those sparco wheels... looking good..

btw dnt buy shit from 9k.. theyre fucking douche bags.

^Thats what everyone says. I guess I'll save for a shineauto hood.
Car handles real well. I should put some videos up sometime.

I'm also looking for some new wheels. Thought about picking up those sparcos again, but I wanna keep 17's up front. I'm thinking staggered equips, idk

Looks like I own your old wheels then. Lol


Nonetheless, OP, looks like you have a great start here. Try not to ruin it, I rushed things with my car and now I'm paying for it.

Give us more ;)
 

I own a S4 turbo and your build definatly makes me think of what i need to build my car for, and i cant wait to see how it compairs to yours. Ill be keeping an eye out for your build, best of luck!

sick build! what kind of hood and spoiler is that?

It's an re-amemiya wing and a shitty hood I made. Lots of updates coming for this car, I've been away at schools for the usmc for a while busying myself with that while it sits in the garage. If I don't go to sniper school next month I'll be dumping lots of money into it and hitting up local events.

Finally found some time to drag the white bag o' dicks out and drift it at the track after months of it being garage life'd. Took it to the local sonic where all the cool kiddos show off their cars and then went streeting with my friends.

Blew my rack, blood was everywhere. it was like a horror film. But the car handled great and shit was fun. Oh and my buddy blew up his 1j sil80 in that pic too. Sad night.
The local event was two days away so the next day I spent pulling the rack and putting a new one, it was a good learning experience. I spent all day on the car, covered head to toe in grease. Oh and I got the Hydro working. Pretty much found out that I want to never run an inline set up EVER again.

Fun times, car handled really well, only got a tad hot when the fan wiring took a crap and a quick rewire remedied that. I was one of the most underpowered cars there, but I had a blast. Near 4th gear entries were a fun learning experience. Dirt dropped the car on my last run, and I ate my front bumper. Oh well no bumper no care

And this picture sums up what I love most of grassroots motorsports, the relationships and friendships built. I could care less about ever making it big or anything, I just enjoy hanging out with my friends and having fun. KDF.
There arent many events here, so i may start taking the car up to my uncles house in denver for the drift colorado events. Car will be getting a new turbo, bn type II, maybe wheels, and hopefully decent paint. And small stuffs. Maybe an SR in the future? Who knows.

That wing actually looks surprisingly good on a stock body. Kudos.

If you're a purist, stop reading. Seriously.
So to update, I was supposed to buy a bigger turbo and I was gonna finish out the season here on the 13b then assess what I was gonna swap in. But, lo and behold, a blacktop sr20 popped up for an awesome deal so I swooped it up.
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...25821575_n.jpg

Gonna be swapping that in, gotta make some custom junk of course.
Also got my fake BN type II, gotta paint it and start fitting it. Gonna try out those dzus fasteners, I'm tired of using zipties for everything.

soo what are you going to do with your old engine?

Sell it, anyone interested?

I'm interested in the spoiler.

damn....wish i was closer. would totally buy it from you.

Damn! I'd make you a deal if you were local.

And on the spoiler, only other wing I like is a bcl... What do legit re wings go for nowadays anyways?

they are $400 BNIB from RHDjapan.

Nice! Thats where I was planning on going with my KA swap, but I'm probably gonna end up doing something else. Really looking forward to seeing this.

nice! another inline 4 rx7!
