Arrow Hi from a British Drifter..

Hey,

Im a british drifter competing in my second full season in the BDC (www.thebritishdriftchampionship.com). I previously ran (and still own till it sells) a UK spec 240sx Zenki but I am now migrating to a Mazda Rx7 FC3s TII.

my s14:


Initial plans are to take it from stock into a drifter in 1 month, running as much as i can do to her in that time on the standard Rotary block. Depending on reliability.. if she lasts the season well, with no major issues I will keep her that way...

.. If not im gonna import a LSx setup of some kind from the states to here in the UK along with a conversion kit (I believe Hinson do them). The only issue is to import everything neede from the states is mega $$$$ for us brits.

So right now my focus is on steering angle (how to gain some FAST) and general cheap/important engine mods.. then finally styling.

So yeah... HI!

Phil

oh forgot to add pics of the rex!!! lol

How she looked when the previous owner had it:


No engine in it as it had just been rebuilt.
Took it to a specialist here in the UK to have the engine put back in and all the extras whipped back into a workable shape.
Took a pic on route at a services:
