- 2009 DRIFT OFFICE 240sx -

(Yes, I know I'm on a rx7 forum. Whatever.)


Sup d00ds.


This is a build thread showcasing one of the cars that we are planning to campaign for 2009.


DRIFT OFFICE was gracious enough to supply the body, powertrain, drivetrain, and suspension.



I am planning on supplying teh awesome...and copious amounts of it.



The car upon delivery -

















- Powertrain -


SR20DET
2871R
550cc Injectors
Enthalpy ROM Tune
Tial BOV
Intake
Greddy FMIC


- Drivetrain -

Exedy 3-puck
Kaaz 2-way


- Suspension -


Tanabe Sustec Pro 7 Coilovers
Subframe spacers
Traction rods


- Exterior -

- Full Vertex Aero
- Altezza Tailights (I insisted)




Car is lol-fast at 334horses/248lbs.



I wasted no time tearing into its fine juicy bits.

Aaand some renderings of some possible final pieces.











I'm pushing for grey.

Bob wants blue.




Finally, for those who don't know, DRIFT OFFICE has recently moved to a bigger, better, much more sav facility. They can be reached at -

Much thanks and gratitude go out to Bob and Bill for their continual support and the resources to do this!!!

Awesome. That's what I wanted to hear.

This car should be a lot easier to drift though. If I can stop spending money on my girlfriend I will be out on the track with you this season.

I didn't even see the wagon in the background. Then when I figured out who really made that post I realized why you didn't notice there was a 240 in the foreground!!!
