Blake Olsen's s13 Coupe Drift Build *Not as cool as my FC, but also with a v8* !

[Hitman Cody2130]

Interior should be all black, with a little bit of the body color paint to tie everything together I think. That aero looks great man, and it will be nuts to see this thing tearing up the streets at this height. I must have missed the info on the headlights, are they DOT approved? Looks like they are going to be bright as all fuck.

Thats going to look so good man....

Thanks! I'm hoping so...Idk what color to do on the interior though, thoughts?

Cant wait to see it painted

Same lol

Damn I love how 50/50 tails look, but with that color all reds would look really clean. Maybe pick up a cheap set of tails and red them out

These were only $90 But I'm gonna keep them 50/50 till its painted

I feel like all red on the tails may look better, but those are nice the way they are.

Thanks, we'll see haha

So made a good dent in the car last night. Got a lot of the last Fabrication done!

First up, made a heat shield for the intake

Then started on the new PS cooler mounting

Left some room so cool air still gets to the radiator

Used 1/2" tubing for the mounts to bolt it down

Now I can paint it and put the right fittings in it

Full Force..

Picked up my aero. Uras Type 4

You should keep the tails 50/50 it makes look awesome, but it depends on what color the car will be.

Throwing around the idea of tinting these fully red.. Thoughts?

Still havent gotten a good fitment pic

Laid out all my fenders and cut out their inner wheel lips

Before:

I didnt get an after pic, but I sanded everything completely flat for as much clearance as possible.

Also block sanded the rear overs on the long straight edges to smooth out some wobbles. I'll get them even better before paint.

Cleaned up my rear cut fenders of rust and sprayed primer on em.

After:

Welded up the cracks in one of my front wheels..

After:

Still a small flat spot, but much better, and stronger..

Went to get my new front tires mounted for this car, and also had to pick up my VSKF from being straighted. Came out great btw.. Saw these step-lipped Bazreias there; 20x11


Untitled by DriftBuild, on Flickr

This was there too..Awaiting a set of 24x15" Forgiatos LOLOL


Untitled by DriftBuild, on Flickr

Got home and got my front wheels on with the spacers and my rear fenders screwed on the car. Still need to bow them a little more and mount the bottoms.

Front fitment is perfect.
