WhackyWill Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 That's a serious BGW... Good Luck with the project.. Quote
brillomaster Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Woah that's certainly a BGW! Quite a few people on here drift zeds, sure they'll be along with advice soon. Quote
pjf1985 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Nice car mate! My car has a twin haha, I need to lower mine though Quote
docwra Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 A standard Z33 is a fairly good driftcar TBH, Id just say get out there and see how you get on. Youll be needing lock mods before too long but Im a believer that its better to improve the car as your skill gets better rather than throw a shitload at it from day one, you learn a lot more. Do not get swayed into thinking that you need a hydro handbrake yet either, its too easy to rely on it rather than weight and power, and anyone who tells you you need more power obviously hasnt drifted a Zed in 5th, its got enough power Most of all, go out and enjoy yourself, its a proper laugh 1 Quote
docwra Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Ooh, and a decent race seat as well, makes a lot of difference Quote
GMballistic Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Great colour and lovely alloys. Did you buy that wing direct from Boeing then or what?! Pretty sure you'll need a Pilots Licence for that thing. 2 Quote
ChickenFB Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 So today made some changes not sure about the wing so back to standard for now also fitted some spacer to give some more poke an purchased x2 jdm bumpers an two diffs then off to get them Welded 1 Quote
StevoD Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 If you like your car and don't want it turning to trash don't drift it Quote
SiCo Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Drift it for sure..... they are such a nice car to drift and plus its heaps of fun.. Do you fancy selling me the BGW? PS car looks awesome on the RPF01s Edited November 9, 2014 by SiCo Quote

pjf1985 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 What sizes are you running with your RPF1's? Yours look different to mine. Quote
StevoD Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 What sizes are you running with your RPF1's? Yours look different to mine. I thought that they don't look right 1 Quote

pjf1985 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Might be because his are 19s He said in his first post they are 18's Quote
StevoD Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Or right looking on google all the 18s that look similar are about 7-8 inches wide 1 Quote
jameskaye22 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Loving those RPF1's looking forward to watching this build, +1 to drifting it! Quote
ChickenFB Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 There 18" 10j Federal 959 Evo on the front Quote
StevoD Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Are they fake then? as i notice your wheels have cut out for the Wheels nuts which RP1 do not have and rp1 dont have a liped center bore there flat? Real ones the center bore is flat and the Lug not holes arnt drilled through the face Your do Yet look like these, so i think youve got replicas there pal http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=555736 Quote
