This thread makes me all warm and fuzzy inside
Awesome build with some nice technical coverage as well! It gives me hope again in building my Volvo 850 estate to an awesome semi-trackcar

Start now, or it may never happen. Even little things matter. For example, my brake pedal mod helped on the race track immensely!

TV sucks anyways man, get an internet connection and a netflix account and you're golden.

Plus who needs TV when you're too busy building an awesome drift car?

Exactly. But some nights after work I wanna chill. Unfortunately, I don't live in an area with a fast internet connection. I have to do most of my uploading when I'm at work. Haha. I've got so much content I don't have time to upload....

This build is an epic journey!

Thanks man! I hope someone can record it for me, I don't have any cable or dish and can't really afford it because of tires and brakes. haha!

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing this on TV, always cool to see a S/W member get some coverage.

So long story short, I made it to Ultimate Street Car Challenge. Competed in all 5 events over a 2 day period and you may be seeing me and my car on national tv in a month or so. Station is called: "MavTV" I also fared pretty well, Was getting faster lap times than most of the field, including z06 corvettes, and some new z28 Camero's with superchargers and carbon brake rotors. I was definitely the heaviest and lowest powered car in my class, but that didnt stop me from getting 12th out of 30. and I ranked at least in the top half overall including the lightweight class. My goal was to have fun, be different and challenge myself. As well as gain as much media exposure for my sponsors!

The g50 chassis may become suddenly more popular soon. ;-p

When I get a chance, I will edit and post some video footage of my car on the race track.

Replaced the Smaller rb25/vg30 n/a clutch with a larger 32 twin turbo clutch and flywheel. replaced the original pressure plate bolts with some new ones, preventative maintenance.... Side note: it only took me about an hour to pull the transmission and replace the clutch and re-install the whole assy including dropping exhaust and starter. Another plus when you design your own system with "easy to service" in mind.

Also changed the power steering pressure hose because of a small crack in the rubber.

The stage 3 clutch and flywheel combo is in good shape, not overheated, low wear, and it is for sale. $125 obo. contact me on instagram or post here.

I agree with you on driver.
and coverage usually happens to those with connections and hookups. One of my goals is to get this car in a video game. If anyone here has a connection with NFS or Forza, please let me know!

I also want to get this car in a major publication like Super Street. Again, let me know if you have a connection.

I feel like trying to get a pre-modded car that's not a big production company or anything in to a videogame is a stretch, though that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

I know a guy whose car they used for Forza 3 or 4, can't remember which. But they chose his because it was the closest thing to the stock representation of that car they were looking for. Really good condition 1982 Volvo 242 Turbo that had been modified to close to Group A spec which is what they wanted.

Publication would be neat though. Sadly I don't know anybody otherwise I would be talking. But I feel like this could be an awesome feature in something like Modified.
