Do work.

 

missile!

 

His missile is cleaner than my daily. Damn ...

 

I used to race Formula Mazda and of course, local public track days. But, this should be a fun, first DRIFT event haha...NA and no PS!!!

Thanks for the kind words!

Andrew

 

****** sweet shift ****.

 

if it's a manual rack you'll be fine! de-powered power racks suck at first, but still you get used to it.
have fun

 

Yep, manual rack.

 

The best kind, as far as I'm concerned.

 

Installed temp. gauge, swapped to the aluminum hood, and dropped the spare diff. last night!!!

Coilovers have shipped!!! *fingers crossed that they get here before Saturday*

 

If that's not JDM, I don't know what is

 

Got the differential welded today, so the next two days are going to be busy!!!

Things to do tomorrow:

Install welded differential
Install new pads/ss lines/rotors
Replace all fluids
Shim Tie Rods
Install S5 tails

Things to do Saturday:

Install/Adjust coilovers
Buy tires
Possible Alignment
and...Double Check EVERYTHING!

 

Good Luck man.

Finished product as of 8:30pm the night before See you guys tomorrow!



Thanks,

wow thats clean...please don't ruin it by turning it in to a MISSILE! just drift the crap out of it and keep it classy.

 

I'm going to have to agree with slowgxl, that thing looks pretty damned straight.

Reminds me way too much of my first base FC, on 280ZX wheels and a 'vert hood.

 

that is way too nice to be a missle.... yet

 

you have way too many landscaping tools.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments!!! I had a great time today just practicing, meeting new people and having fun! SO much fun in fact, that I'm now running on one rotor :/ But what do you expect for an original 143k engine revved up like a top

The car performed ALOT better than I expected for an old engine and a questionable clutch haha. May end up starting a NA build thread...

Thanks again,

Andrew
