LS1 Drift Build 'Nuff Said'

[Royal_T]

Trying to finish up a few things before the wiring session and final startup..



The STACK gauge cluster is almost done.. just a little more fill and then its on to wrapping it black suede.. Should look pretty good once done.



Also picked up my new Kill switches, love these things. The red one is going to be mounted in side the car so if I do decide to street shark this thing I can look it in the off position. The black one will be mounted in the bay.



So once I complete this To Do list it will be time.. Should not be to long from now.

Also thinking about live streaming the startup .. Who is down for that?!?!

This is what I'm running. Without having the $2-$4k for a drysump system, this solves all the oil starvation issues LS engines are known for under high corner loads. Not sure what pan 350's take but mine is the F-body pan. Great craftsmanship and fit on this piece.

Yeah I saw that design and wanted it but I am running the SIKKY pan that they made for the 350z. Their design looks pretty good and has I know their cars are holding up pretty good.. But I will also run the accusump on the side to be safe.

then ya thats perfect! as long as you take care of it, the floor will last forever

Yeah you know me this garage is going to be well taken care of. Going to clean the floor today since we are talking about it.. lol

Yeah I totally understand. I wanted 24hrs on each step before moving forward. And garage sat for about a 2 weeks before it saw my car..

love your OCD level everything it's done properly, I just got to ask how come you don't use a dry sump setup? from what I know ls engines have a small problem with oiling

keep them updates coming

that can happen if the layers are too thin or if you put the car in before it completely dries. sounds simple but you wouldnt believe how many garages weve had to redo because the home owners are way too impatient. let it dry a full 24 hours before parking the car or putting any heavy items on it.

Thanks bro for the kind words..

okay yeah I think I will put another layer in about 3-4 months Its not hard to lay down a clear coat so that is no prb. And yeah def trying to keep this thing dry..

Have you heard anything about hot tires pealing the floor.. Some people told me about that.. whats your thought on that?

I can not wait to see this done dude, been following it since day one.

Me and my buddy used to drool over your old setup haha. Slammed and wide. This is going to murder that.

Thanks man, its comments like these that keep me pushing.. The new setup should be as wide and just overall more aggressive looking.. And sideways...lol

Such a beautiful build, I can't wait to see this finished. Amazing work you have done here

Yeah I don't think I posted it on here but my plan is to drive everywhere and just have fun with the car. With that being said yes that means our Lone Star Drift series. I do plan to do a couple of shake down runs at MW like a test and tune so might hit you up to film that.. Got any links to your work...

Also I will be out their this weekend too..

Awesome! I'll definitely be seeing you around then.

I mostly do photos for now as I need to get a damn mic for my camera but here's a link to my page that I put my stuff on.
