Sweet drift car build BRO (Now with more SR!)

[ILoveMyRHS13]

i like how your friend wiped the dust off the "240sx" in the rear window, i did the same thing when i was building mine in my garage lol

Actually it had a "sileighty" sticker on it from the previous owner.

[CA18Magic]

Also installed some Vortex Generators - The I <3 Haters special.

I have those on my Sti... but their functional lol. You have no rear wing for the vortex'd air to come down to lol

They don't need a wing to be functional. At least that's the way they advertise them. Either way, I don't mind, I got them just cause I like the way they looked.

[pollitoboy]

i love this thread!!!!!

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Oh, I guess I haven't posted any pictures of my interior recently...


And with the double din.

[Chris28]

Diggin' the double din, dude.

You should post a rad update.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

LOL

Rad update? Not a whole lot going on. Just slowly saving money for events and tires. Hopefully picking up 4 MK3 Supra wheels and 6 tires tomorrow. Yes, I know the hub bore is too small on the Supra wheels, I'll make them fit. Other than that I found out my rear caliper was leaking; so I got brand new ones.




Then I got my new helmet today. Cheapest SA2005 helmet you can buy, which is what I need.


Maybe I'll do an update tomorrow if I get those Supra wheels.

[Chris28]

Haha marco is rocking 240 wheels for his spares, you'll be rocking mkIII wheels for yours. You should do a switcharoo so you can have matching sets.

I was about to buy that helmet, but got one heck of a deal on one at a Simpson Racing outlet store so I got that instead.

I like the shot of the new calipers, looks so thought out and professional lol.

[troskinatior]

How much for the helmet?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

$175 shipped if you're a premium member on Zilvia.

Got it through Swapped Motorsports.

[troskinatior]

Damn thats a good deal. How many post do you need to be a premium member?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Damn thats a good deal. How many post do you need to be a premium member?

You have to donate/pay $10 a year.

Or if you're not a premie it's $190 shipped.

OH HAI

MUSTANG RIMZ.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

OH HAI

MUSTANG RIMZ.

HEY LONG TIME NO SEE.

You need the 10.5s in the rear though.

[Didderson]

OH HAI

MUSTANG RIMZ.

Tramp, your car has style yo.

I only have 2 suggestions: take off the pin stripe, and take off the b&m sticker :P

[tramp_drift240]

i think 18 x 10 is good enough for my rear. (i dont rock 17s mayne)

i love the pinstripe, and i told the previous owner and good friend of mine that id leave it on til i get paint or a new front end.

currently i dont have fenders on anyway.

You finally got Mustang wheels???

I like the look of both cars with the 'Stang wheels. Nice flat black job btw rhs13.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Slight update... I've been hoarding parts... Again. This time to re-do the cooling system.
I picked up a used Mishimoto radiator with fan from MGE's old coupe.


I also went up to Lancaster Nissan to see how much they wanted for a water pump, thermostat, and upper and lower rad hoses... They wanted $220 so I told them to go f*** themselves.

So I went onto Courtesy Parts and ordered the water pump and thermostat from them for MUCH less. I <3 OEM parts.


I was bored one night so I decided to max the coils out... Again, haha. Now I need an alignment BADLY.


I also got off my a** and put the Tomei 2 way in. It's definitely weird to get used to, but so far I'm loving it.



Don't think this car is a hardparker, though. I'll be drifting up in Drums, PA this sunday so I can actually put these to use. Top two on the right are just tires. Bottom two on the right are NA Z32 wheels and the four on the left are MKIII Supra wheels. I'll only be taking the two good Supra wheels and Z32 wheels up sunday because I doubt I'll go through any more than that, hahah.


And I'll leave with some sweet pictures of my car in some 3am fog.

[badbob2121]

this is a sick picture

[slydewayz503]

Nice build read the whole thing, Tomei FTW lol those diffs are bad a** my brother has a Tomei Technical Trax that things beefy

[rtrdpenguin]

Dudebroman, u drift that thang? Can we hang out sometime? Where can I buy your stance? I like the look of offset wheels, I'm thinking of buying some more offset but the people at Pep Boy's didn't know what I was talking about.


P.S. This is Chris, I'm bored as crap. I'm stuck at Marco's house cause my alternator died while parked in his drivway haha.

Haha I know exactly how you feel.

BTW, update coming later today. I'm gonna be installing the rad, thermo, water pump, changing crank seal, etc.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Update:

Got the new water pump, thermostat and crank seal in today. Everything went well besides not being able to use my factory fan shroud anymore... I'll just have to use the e fan eventually because not having a fan shroud is KILLING ME. It's soooooo ugly, haha.


I'll be rolling the rear fenders and beating out the front wheel wells tomorrow before work because this thing rubs a lot... Update sunday night when I get back from the event.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Update!

Met up with some buddies then we rolled out.


We showed up a the track right on time, but they wouldn't let us in. We sat outside of the track, in the rain for 45 minutes.


Went in, passed tech no problems. It was still raining, so I was able to get my confidence up.


It was a small turnout, but it was a REALLY fun event. I'll be attending the next one on September 18th.

Here's a video because, well, I can't really take pictures of my car while I'm drifting it... So I'm waiting for other's pictures. I'll post them as I find them. Obviously this was in the dry, so whoever said a stock single cam KA can't drift can go f*** themselves.

BTW, this was my super ghetto camera mount, hahah.

[hatedinthemind]

I applaud you for having a car that low

[slydewayz503]

good vid none the less & still ghetto mount but worked just fine lol. BTW my roof inside the car looks damn near exactly like yours with the decals hahaha thats funny

[Chris28]

Looks like a fun track, albeit small. Get yoself down to driftwater, 4th gear entries is where it's at!

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Starting to find pictures.




And who said SOHCs can't drift?

[z_K]

tasty stuff. i'll be sure to post the rest of yours i do here

[Didderson]

Nice updates man. You're putting the right parts on for sure. Should be reliable when you beat on it now.
I like the camera mount lol. Good job in the drift slalom brohan
