project W.A.S.P. : I can't believe it's not butter! (fine - it's a pro-am build.)
 
blah blah I have this FC. it rips pretty good. hotline knuckles, hotline cage, ect ect
13B power FC, 1000CC injectors, real GP Sports dual exhaust. it looks janky right now. paint and aero will be finished up in like a week or two.

topdrift pro-am round 1: qualified 6th out of 48 cars. knocked out by dave briggs in top 16; spun out on my lead lap. I qualified and competed in top 16 with a bent lateral link and completely messed up rear toe.

topdrift pro-am round 2: AKA this last weekend . . . saturday practice. I broke a tierod end right at the shank, supernow ones. NOOOOO! DK had a stock balljoint end and I tried that but it was pretty terrible - car wouldn't drive straight let alone drift. Sunday morning, JTP saves the day and brings me a new shank. BUT it's too
large to fit thru the heim. Mr. Gunthrie had some air tools and an angle grinder so I
shaved down the barrel of the shank to make it fit. reassembled my steering, then
realigned it with toe plates in the pits, went out and qualified 10th out of 50 cars!

I was so stoked; the car drove awesome like nothing ever happened. I went up against Dan Brockett from New Mexico - we went one more time and I won! then
as fate would have it . . . I had to go toe-to-toe with Dave Briggs again in his incredible S14. it was a really really good battle but Dave just edged out with the win.

still had a blast! anyway, the car. it's getting paint and URAS aero in the next week or so. then eventually probably a T04B bolt-on'er, FMIC and more injector; along with a re-tune.

oh yeah on with the photos I guess.

For some reason this thing has always made me want to paint my fc yellow.

oilcover 05-03-11 02:16 PM

they will be! next month is the 17" debut

FCs4226 05-05-11 04:29 AM

you can use fake wheels and have them not crack or break on the track?

Zenki FC3S 05-05-11 04:51 AM

Any wheel will crack if hit hard enough. Three piece are repairable and usually bend when hit.

What works do you have? Vs-ss or meisters?

FCs4226 05-05-11 02:57 PM

damn can't wait to rebuild my motor so i can go to the track like you guys.

Glad to here you got the car back together last WKND. I saw You when ,you came down to the big track looking for Essa. I was under one of the teams boxster spec car working. I wanted to say what up but super busy.

PS. I got a FC coming out real soon too,not so much on the drifty tip though.

I was like fuck if we give him the tie rod how the hell are we gonna get the missle back in the trailer,due to where yours broke. anyhow GOODTIMES.......... Good luck with the season
