The Old stock Ca drifted hard for 2 years on the limiter. I have just recently finished the rebuild and it is due for a tune next month. Will post up a Dyno sheet as soon as it is done!

[tramp_drift240]

very awesome though.

lemmie know if youre tryna sell some of those wheels

[mrgreeneyes]

[Didderson]

Yummmmm that is a clean drift/track car man. Props for keeping the stout CA.

Aussieland ftw!

[smocan]

Are you serious with that 18x10.5 -8 on stock guard... ****s sick.

Now thats how to build a clean car

[spooled240]

hella-pulled fenders

[jjc180]

Thanks guys

Just to give you an idea here is some photos of the car about a year and a half ago:









It was very "Pig Spec" while i was learning and was street registered till i lost my license street drifting

I will get some engine bay pics soon. Just need to finish up a few things on the new motor.

Here a couple of pictures with the SSR Vienna's on:

I exploded in my pants when I saw these lights. Thats exactly how I want mine. What method did you use and do you have pics of it at night?

Welcome to NICO BTW!

Hey mate,

Thanks for the welcome.

I used something called "Nite Shades" over here which is like a spray on tinter. It as sprayed on the outside of the light though instead of the inside like it is normally applied.

The lights still shine through as normal at night.

[Florida240sex]

That there thing is hawt! 

[MRNA]

Hot as hell, CA's are the shiznip. I don't like the hood though, just imo.

[Kristine]

wow... that's beautiful!

I used the same stuff on my truck taillights, I love it.



Do you have any close up pics of your hood ? Looks sparkly or somthing I love it. The car is damn hot man.

[S13xCrazy]

I love your car man! The hood is super original, iv never seen anything like it before. Who's it made by?

[brandonDavid]

I made it myself lol.

Made with an angle grinder. You can do it with any S13 bonnet and still keep all the structural support.

It looks sparkly because i decided to get glitter mixed in to the paint... Thought it would be something different to try on a drift car and it looks way better in the sun up close. The body also has a slight glitter through the white.

[jjc180]
