The return of an old friend (drift build)
Posted: 10 Feb 2012 02:40 pm
So, here it is . I bought this car just before last xmas with the intention of building a reliable and fun drift car that hopefully wont cost me a fortune (too late lol!!) .If i am right this car was owned in the past by one of the moderaters of this forum , he did a nice job in making a good fast road car but was not a skid car so i set about changing a few things. Luckily i have my owned garage in Dartford Kent (Wisdom Mechanical 07809408482) so all work has been carried out by myself (with a bit of help/guidance from my good friend uncle nev. and F1 MOTO) to the highest standard. Unfortunately some the earlier build pics are on my other cpu so will stick them up when poss. Really just wanted to show the car is still going strong and hopefully inspire a few people and possibly get some good feedback about the car/the work that has been done
so here is a quick spec. (to remind me and let you know how things have evolved)
