Glad you a baller but I would have to disagree. Get the basics then learn how to drift with that then advance your build with your skill. If you can't use the parts to their full potential it's just a waste of money and not to mention if it is your first car YOU WILL PUT IT IN A WALL and then you just wasted lots of good parts. Now if you already know how to drift then awesome good on you do it.

I am reminded of a drift build on another forum where the guy was a rookie spent a year building a car just for this, spent close to 10k and then first track day totalled it and lost alot of money.
I'm not saying this is going to be you and I hope it's not I am just giving a friendly warning.

I hope you pull this off and I am subsribed to follow cuz it should be a good build.

Good luck dude.:thumbsup

Just my .02 again not trying to be a flamer...

 

Yea I most certainly know how to drift and this isn't my first drift car this is just the template I think everyone should use if they have the funds. It is also my first ground up build. O, and I already stuffed this car into the wall at saratoga speedway in stock form with a welded diff lol no power means high entry speeds but 70 was a little too high.


heres some pics from said event:

I FOUGHT THE WALL AND THE WALL WON!

 

Well then I can't wait to see it all....I have hit a few myself (check my garage) I don't wanna thread jack so I will leave my pics off.
Do they have anything other then a circle to drift on?
I love that I am learning all this in Japan, ther are tracks EVERYWHERE

 

yea theres a few parking lot drift event. There are a couple events each year up at the moticello motorsports club road course and an event every month at the road course in englishtown for club loose.


they are supposed to be paving the infield of that circle track for next season so it should be pretty sick next year.

 

should be in order of importance if your tryna show a proper drift build ground up.. wheres your LSD?..

 

welded diff

put that in first thing in the spring, added it to my parts list so there will be no more confusion.

 

that part of the US has soo many options for full on drift events

 

i guess i live exactly 2 1/2 hours away from all drift event blah

 

What no knuckles?

 

maybe in the spring

I was actually talking to brian w from ma a few days ago about that amongst other things but its is not on the top of my list right now.

 

PBM Wheel spacers just arrived so did the evdm

 

Tanabe Sustech Pro 7 coilovers

Even I am drooling over these things and they are sitting in my room

 

those are really nice!

 

they better for almost 2k!


not that I paid that but still you get the point

 

That's a good list and I agree, you should go with high quality parts, in the first place. High quality suspension parts are designed to save your car in the event of an accident. They are designed to break away and save your frame/suspension mounting points. Also, I am not going to trust my life to a shoddy suspension piece. I put lots of stress on my suspension, on a weekly basis, and will never go with anything less than high quality parts (I have Ikeya Formula right now).

plus with spl if your car crashes because of a defect in their product they will pay for damages

 

ahah how much did you get those for?

 

Very nice choice on Coils. I was thinking about the five's once upon a time but meh. I'm diggin the Fortune's so far.

Let us know how it rides, I seen 1 or 2 reviews on the 7's and they said it rode very nice for how high the rate's are.

also nice list. I was getting tired of seeing ISIS, CS, and MR all over the place...

 

you will not see shit brands on my car that is one thing a vowed when I bought it. I have always preached high end parts and I am no hypocrit. Even tein and pbm were a little iffy for me but I will let it slide (literally).


I paid $1500 for them btw

 

Nicely done sir. I said the same. Now the parts come in slower lol
But anything to keep the car from falling apart. The eBay CAI was an exception lol.

 

true but its worth the wait don't want to break down in the middle of the season

 

Tis true. I'm also biting the bullet on some Wicked Tuning Tie-Rods. Couldn't see spending more on Tein's that don't correct Bump-Steer and are not much thicker then Stock S14 Rods.

 

Know this post was like first page but those wicked tuning toe rods are awesome.

Have a set myself, makes me really want to upgrade the rucas and traction rods I have but what can I say I'm broke lol

 

i would go with stock s14 inners and spl outters

the only real difference between tein inners and s14's is that there is more room for adjustment on the tein's

spl outters are like $200 plus $50 for some s14 inners from autozone and they have a lifetime warranty. PM me and I can see if my buddy can get you a deal on the spl outters he is a distributor and got me mine at wholesale.

 

I will hit you up on that when the time comes. I just needed to get these S13 Tie-Rods off before they fall off.

 

LOL, new suspension - psh... I think my stance coils are about 3 years old and so are my Peak RUCA's.

I need to go ahead and get some more stuff on the car lol.

 

havn't updated this in awhile but I got my suspension bushings in just waiting for the spl parts


gonna have a nice big update later today with a diy for painting wheels. so far they are comming out AMAZING! dark purple witha florecent greet lip. i call the paint scheme beetle juice

 

wow thats a nice set up.SPL ftw.How about some pics?:scratch:

 

all the spl stuff is comming in anyday now prolly within the next 2 weeks just painted the lip gonna put one more coat on the lip in 10 then we will see how this looks

 

good shit word i cant wait
