thats awesome. Does it just bolt up to any regular hub adapter?

 

this is a job well done

 

^Agreed. I miss seeing this car posted.

 

BOSS Hub and NRG 1.0 quick release.

The boss hub is decent quality. It seems a bit tight while driving but not bad.

 

And my project for this weekend.

 

just picked this up today its a bucket with a good drive train rebuilt engine and t2 diff. just need to get rid of these agx shock and racing beat springs and get coilovers then go drift

 

The term bucket needs to be used more often.

 

What size gauges are you running where the vents should be?

 

still doesnt run, takin pics in the meantime...

 

dang, I want everything in this pic..

 

 

are u using some kind of drop down seat rails?? or bolted to the floor?

 

Instant-Hipster-Agram

Needs some paint love.

 

What kinda kit is that @laramiejoe?

 

It's BN Type 1 knockoff with Type 2ish front bumper.

 

new to drifting this is what i plan to drift

how i bought it


how it looked last summer


most recent, just waiting on rims and then more low

 

 

Bolted to the stock seat rails. Had to bend the adapter things a little to get them to fit right.

 

my front ball joints are bad and i know that the ball joints on s5's can't be replaced. should i be looking for s4 front control arms? is there an upgrade or something better i should be looking at

 

^S4 control arms and cut and extend the lower ball joint.

 

do you need longer tie rods then? i assume this will give more angle

 

Yes. You will need some kind of spacer or longer tie rods.

 

Stock s4 ball joints bend just for the sake of bending. Making them longer seems kinda sketchy.

 

Quoted for truth.

 

i added 1/8" cold roll flat stock to the bottom of my old ones, used 1/2" cold rolled steel to make the extension, welded the bottom plate entirely to the stock ball joint, then welded the 1/2" to the ball joint and the extra flat stock. filled the old holes and then redrilled new holes.

I think that should be alright. (crosses fingers), oh yeah, pictures! If you look really close you can see my car! (and the extra metal/welding)
