Pride Performance 08 Drift Builds

[eDmSiL80]

As most of u know my story of parts being stolen off my car, its time to rebuild my car and bring it back from the dead haha. Luckily i have a good friend who has a garage with a lift so we basically do all the work we can to get the cars done.

my car use to be like this.

to this

i finally had time to start workin on it. And im getting it prepped for a roll cage.this took countless hours of scrubbing with a brillo pad and simple green...

the only thing that keeps me wanting to finish this car!My ka!!Rebuilt with BC internals

i gotta a lot of work to do, but its just a matter of putting it back together when i get it back from the shop.

Now onto my buddy steves story haha.

We went to vir last year, stayed there for the weekend, drifted for a full day and a half, qualifying comes around, bang he somehow managed to crash pretty bad sending his car into a wall.

luckily we managed to get a shell for 300 bux from a good friend of ours. And we started work immediately. His build is farther then mine being he started a few months ago, he's sending the car for a cage tomo.

[shady240]

thats my street car i used last season to drift.

[wa-chiss]

What about the spare tire well? Have you thought of cutting it out and welding in a flat sheet of metal? Or would that be a big no-no.

[Kataki_]

I think that might be a no no..just depends on if anything runs under that has to be bolted up too it, dunno never looked that hard.

[wa-chiss]

Yeah thats what I'm talkin bout.

[StukSideways_Abe]

So what kind of wheel locks did you have on your car? They saved you a nice lookin set of reemz.

[Asmar]

Those rims look sick. What are they?

[keith0486]

they look like sport maxx wheels to me

[eDmSiL80]

its going to be cut for a fuelsafe fuel cell

I think that might be a no no..just depends on if anything runs under that has to be bolted up too it, dunno never looked that hard.

Theres a lot of different fabrications that can be done, i plan on just using some sort of square tubing and just make it hold the fuel cell in place. Prbly make sumthin like a basket for the bottom part of the fuel cell.

Those rims look sick. What are they?

i had the sportmaxs when they were hott shiet haha. They were seriously way too heavy, and i would hate having to throw em around for events. Luckily i rock drifz wheels now that u see on the red s13

[dcmxsa]

Here are a few updates on my car.

[Jyon9689]

The theft thing sucks. I don't see how anyone who loves cars could raid someone elses car who had put that kinda work into it..projects lookin good though bro, but just wondering why you weren't doing any sidebars or a-pillars on that cage?

[dcmxsa]

The cage will have side bars, and front bars through the dash, but the cage is not finished yet, it will be completly done saturday night, so ill have finished pictures up then.

[crapanese]

my bay is battleship grey too. hahaha totally rules.

[dcmxsa]

More pics of our builds are coming tomorrow....

[xsublimefrekx]

good build. Im getting ready to rip mine apart and cage it.

[dcmxsa]

the cage is just about finished...

[eDmSiL80]

[addisonblck]

sweet....good job bro cant wait to see it finished

[NismoDriver240]

definitly lookin pretty sick so farhaha love the NOS drinks in the beginning lol

[dsc4130]

thats some damn good welds, you might wanna fix your buddies engine bay though, were the intercooler pips are it cant be that open from my understanding. my friends car is that way and he is about to run into a hugh problem unless i fix it before the season starts. looks great tho

[cmoody2006]

Looks good are you going to put rails running along the top of the door and down the a-pillar? What about along the bottom of the door? My step-dad has a bar that is removable that you can pull closed. It has a huge hinge on it and you can only open it when the door is open. Its weird but really cool. The drivers door opens this way / and the bar opens up this way \ if you get what i mean if not I can get him to send me some pictures of it. It has a handle with a solid metal rod that is spring compressed and when you put it in place you can lock it in there. Its interesting how it works. Its like a rod inside a tube that locks 2 tubes together. 0=0 if you can imagine that....
