Instead of being a dickbag, if you pointed me in the right direction a bit I'd be much more willing to take your advice. As I only lurk the drifting section I pretty literally have no idea where to ask, so I asked in the most appropriate place I could think of. Sorry for inconviencing you even though your time must not be very valuable for the amount of effort you put in to scold my childish behavior. Thanks

I had to do a car that hadn't gotten painted for like a couple years or something and it was FUCKED. Just to get it all knocked down enough to paint it took me almost a week.
yeah, the interior isnt bolted in. the interior is getting shot the same blue as the engine bay. I've driven cars with rusted cages... they suck

Here's my 2012 drift missile fooling around at autocross. It has some serious ride height issues at the moment... but I'll crank the coilovers down when it goes in for an alignment after the modified knuckles are installed. I'm probably not going to slide on the CCWs this year, so I've also got to size some wide 18s to fill out the 80mm over fenders. Can't wait for Clubloose and D-faction events to start up again... Winter Sucks!

Your car looks REALLY high off the ground. You should lower it more...

edit: Just read your post, guess I should do that before responding.

I agree too. There are some things that really, really bug me about it too... like the molded in over fenders... they are going to get wrecked, why not make them easy to replace? I bought it as it sits in those pics (little less tire smoke though), it was built for road racing with a ton of really nice parts, and now I'm converting it over to a drift ****.

This is what I was diving before:

The wipers are only on there so the car passes inspection. Wipers are required in NY where the car is registered. I've never used them (and the previous owner didn't either) so there are no scratches from the wipers. I'm actually going to be ditching the lexan and going back to glass in the front since I'll be driving the car to events and I'm not 100% comfortable with lexan on the street. Clubloose would also require me to run center supports with the lexan... I'd rather take the weight penalty of the glass and be able to run wipers and not have to worry about the different rules for lexan. The back hatch is going to stay lexan though
