Polo Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Thanks guys!! Bit of an update!!! Sound proofing is finaly out and most the prep for seam welding done!!!! you think an s14 is bad!! try one of these!! Iv spent 4-5 nights, my bro and my girlfriend a day each and a mate 2 hole days!!!! Got some good second hand Cobra seats and some new rails, and made some cross rails to hold the seat in, still need to do the other side, but that does not need to be in any particular posision, Then got on with some of the seam welding and sealing some of the un-needed holes in the bulk head, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLizard Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Excellent stuff, took me weeks to get all the sound deadening out of mine When are you hoping to be ready to drift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millzzz Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I never knew the amount of work needed to get a car drift spec! I happen to work with one of the headsheds of the BDC who runs a 460bhp 2JZ twin turbo powered white Lexus is200, that's a pretty special machine, now I have some understanding of what's entailed! Crazyness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyness! TBH there are only a few hand fulls of competition drift cars built to such an extent in the UK, most started as modded road cars turned drift, my old one was but ended up a 500hp 2ltr out right track beast! Was just never built from scratch like this. I know the car, Matt ownes it, TDI used to map it, now a guy called Dave maps it, hes in the army??

He sometimes brings it into the hangars to work on it so I've seen it in he flesh. He also done a few donuts outside before getting bollocked by a tanky sergeant He keeps encouraging to drift my Z, justifying it by saying he "needs a new project" lol. Trouble with that is, I love my Z too much & I don't have the moolah to support such a project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
