  • Well she is turbo now and on the new wheels and out of the garage.. I love the look the 16" wheels give the car. Have a bit of wheel gap in the rear but oh well It's low enough to keep it semi functional for drifting.

    • looks really good minus the fact that half the wheels end up backwards...

        • updates! Been driving the car for a few months now. Two exhaust manifolds later I had my buddy build me a manifold out of schedule 10 stainless steel to fix all the issues I was having with CX racing.

          Made 212whp and 185tq on 10psi

          Going to bump up the psi shooting for 250whp.

              • Hey paul,
                gotta say your car has given me some inspiration to go sideways for sure next year. I like being a stancey kid but id rather put my car to acutal use hah. as for the aero, do you like that companies mold? or is it way off. Thanks!

                • I suck at updating this thread and even then my updates aren't that great. As most of you know it's the winter and in the midwest that means tear down and refresh season for the drift cars.

                  Decided to repaint my cage and do a few other visual mods that I haven't exactly nailed down yet. Anyways pulled all the body panels off and pulled the motor to refresh the gaskets. Look at these crap photos.




                  Took these last photos to show the angle from my modded knuckles and tierod mods. Need to work on the ackerman may buy new lower ackerman knuckles and put these on the wifes miata.

                  • Well moved into the new house in October. Tore the car down and redid a few things. Still putting it all back together just been very lazy with taking real pictures as most of them are on my Instagram.
                    Cleaned and painted all the interior in gold with metalflake and redyed my seats. Also put in new motor mounts, regasketed the motor, threw in my new stage 4 spec clutch.

                    • Stepped the game up this year, went to legit wheels. Put rear over fenders on to fit the crazy specs and started driving events again. Car is a bit beat up currently as I spent all my money on the wheels haha.
