hello drifters


4 months ago i decided to step my game up and change my drift car from this :





to this :




totally stock 1986 Gxl (right after i installed my coilover
)







my goal with the new carwas to build the ultimate street machine. So during the summer its my daily drive i do 100km a day to get to work ... on the weekend i drift it. So i wanted the car that was reliable as **** .... cheapish on gaz ... with enough power not to be bored .. Since i'ved owned an fc in the past i knew is was an awesome chassis but my problem was the rotary ... Its a amazing engine easy to make power reliable when you know how to use it but the gaz milleage is horific So in january i drove 600 km and i picked up an f20c for my car . I always wanted to do this swaped in a car (my first drift car was an ae86 so naturally i love high reving engine)

first we test fitted the engine in the car


i bought a manual steering rack because s2000 came with electric rack and also because all my other cars were manual rack except the mustang
put a bit of work on it to make it look better



i ending cutting the subframe in half to make the engine fit properly



i have so much place to work in the bay and the tranny tunnel



almost finished

 

first time out of the shop after 3 weeks not stop of hard labor


now i had to get ready for alignment the day after but i had 2 problem ....

wich wheel to choose and my front brakes were bad ...
so i started by the brake



and then i had to make a choice ....



i had a set of starion laying around and 6 crown vics ... i end up buying new wheels at the last minute


right on time for my first day on the track


but i didint drift the car really i only want it to shake it down a bit feel it see if anything was wrong ...

and it was a good day






then the first real track day came
washed the car took some awesome picture with my buddy





slapped on some drift wheels (crown vic best drift wheels ever )





and my first slip n slip with the car




over all its the best car i have ever driven ....
sticks hard to the road ...
fuel economy is awesome
power is good
fun is more than i expected

 

Did not know that thing was honda powered. Thanks for the info on your wheels. Pretty much sold on them with gold powder coat for my white car. Love that you can run a square setup with them and be able to rotate tires.

Looking good man!

 

Absolutely love the car man! The F20 is a an amazing engine and sets it apart from all of the v8 FCs out there. Keep it up!

 

the engine definitly suits the car its amazing

 

would the engine have been able to clear without cutting the subframe if you have made a rear sump setup?

 

yeah it was either i build a custom pan or cut the subframe .... id rather cut the subframe and keep the stock pan

 

Custom pans are no fun to mess with

 

exactly ... thats why i didint want to do it

 

couple updates on the car ....

i burned some tires ...


2 weekends ago i went to boonies bash 2014 at sannonville raceway in ontario






thats at the end of the day



i also painted my side skirt my lip and my wheels




everything assambled



and a video from last saturday


my buddy also took a quick vid

enjoy

 

****. I knew I should have went to Boonies bash. Good **** man!

 

Yeah it was awesome ... plenty of fc too

 

Hey brotha what's the offset on those mitsu wheels by chance

 

16x8 -10

 

so i got into a little drifting accident a couple weeks ago i spun out and someone drove into me ... those fc are ******* tanks !





the other guy needs a door and some frame master

then started rebuilding it
and found some broken ****




my garage looked like a mess for a month

but it was worth it because i got it all fix by myself





now i brought it to the alignement my cam bolt in the back are fucked ... and parts are discontinued from the mazda dealer ... so i dont know what im going to do

 

This car rocks! You should go to spherical trailing arm bushings, get adjustable toe rods and weld the eccentrics up in the furthest back position to give yourself that extra quarter inch of wheel base.

That, or snag some replacements out of the junkyard.

 

thats probably whats gonna happen ... but right now im low on drift car budget ... im leaving for vegas in 5 days for a wedding ...


and i have a big drift event coming ...

damnit i wish i was a rapper investing on lambo's and hoes

 

The toe bolt with the oval washer built into it? I just bought them from the dealer a month or so ago for like... $20bucks? I am sure I can find the part number for you.

 

the bolt is available i have it with me ... the exentric washer are discontinued ...

 

all right saturday decided to go for a sliding session even if i was pretty hungover from my trip in vegas.... 1h30 after comming off the plane i was in my car drifting ... my vision and brain were as much sideways as my car was !

so i decided to change my diff before i lefted for my trip ... i bought a tomei 2 way ... car feels like a million bucks ... soo much smoother .. less sucky understeer and somehow more smoke coming out the rear end

car is still not aligned in the back because im waiting for some pmb toe arm and camber link

 

Nice Build buddy . IT was awsome seing all those FCs at the Maple Leaf Bash :p

 

yeah i should post pictures pretty soon !
