Semi-Ratchet FC Turbo Driftcar Build!

Try to premix at every tank mane to extend the life of the 13bt.

You should get some vids up of you sliding around, it looks like a lot of fun.

For sure I was planning on it, good looking out, thanks mang!
I'll definitely try to get some footy at the next event or the next time I go slide somewhere, I want some vids too! Hahaha

Are those factory front fenders? I'm looking to run the same size wheels on the front of my FC but I'm not sure they'll fit. I'll have 255/40-17 in the rear so I'll need a 225/45-17 in the front, so a little larger tire than you have as well.

I've heard a lot of good reviews on the PBM diff mounts, haven't heard a comparison to the Mazdatrix though.

Yessir stock fenders, I think you should be good with some camber, I'm planning on going up to 235/40s soon haha. Yeah same here, and PBM stuff is usually awesome haha

On a side note, is anyone on here running the PBM solid front diff mount on their FC by any chance? Trying to make up my mind on the solid PBM or the Mazdatrix comp mount. Opinions?

I am running the complete rear setup from PBM currently. If your gonna go solid front make sure you go solid rear. I love the feeling it gave the car. Just feels more stable and controllable. The PBM parts were one of my favorite upgrades and I can't wait to order the front angle kit when it comes back in stock.

Careful about running too wide of wheels and tires, FC fenders tend to split. My buddies ported 6 port had a set of square FD wheels with some 205's on them, and 15mil bolt on spacers and they split the driver side fender, and that was with minimal rubbing while going over speed bumps. My friend christian also had a small split on his 4 port's fender after rolling the fronts and spacing out the old ass OEM riken wheels.

Dope! Thanks for the input man, looks like I'll be ordering some PBM goodies soon!

For sure, I'll keep an eye on it, good looking out, thanks man!

Post the PBM stuff when you get it in, I'd be interested to hear your results.

Will do sir! I'm almost positive my diff mount is in two pieces so I definitely gotta get on that lol
I'm hoping I can paint the aero to at least match the white on the rest of the car before driving the VegasDrift event on the 31st!

[LorenzoBayuga]

Checking FMIC clearance on the bash-bar! Gotta get some piping made/order some as well as 720cc GTU injectors eventually.

Wow, that's a huge ass intercooler. Very nice.
