Fed up with rusty, overheating turbo cars Ive decided to give the N/A route a go and build it up myself.... :wack:
Step in one lucky bid on a cheap 350Z! Picked this up accidentally (put a cheeky bid in on Ebay not expecting to win) for £5900 - '03 import with 30,000 miles/Km in fair nick!
Well happy with it, everything is straight, rust free and running nice.
It will be kept as a daily, so not planning to compete immediatly in it, just plenty of track/drift days :nod:
Drifts really well in standard trim, although can feel its weight (1430Kg). The back end is heavy and really wants to overtake the front when sideways! :smash:
So have collected these parts already,
Driftworks Suzuka seat with bride mounts
Driftworks CS2's
Kinetix Alignment arms set
07' (with the bulge) Carbon bonnet
Japspeed Exhaust (cutting up to make single exit)
De-cat pipes
JWT Popcharger
Defi BF Oil and water temp, and oil pressure gauges.
and here is my shopping list come payday
Rota SVN's 18x10
Carbon rear Hatch
Intake plenum spacer
Tomei 2 Way with 3.9 final drive
and pending funds, exedy stage 2 clutch and lightened flywheel.
Will try and document the build as I go along, and will hopefully be at he pod on 15th September as long as I dont brake anything!
