WE WANT CAMBER! (and TE's!)

Plenty of camber in the front to go around. This cars set up to perform, not sit in parking lots at car shows.

I want TE's too though haha...Or better yet, some Kranze.

looks awesome...really like the wing

Fixed gear. :like:

Love it, even with the wing. Nice work man.

Thanks guys...

Soo the weekend before the drift event I went through a local car meet. Lots of shitty Hondas and boring cars but it was fun for about 30 minutes.





Then I started to sort out my tires for the drift event.



Borrowed a buddies wheels for spares



And in kind of odd timing, I sold my daily driven LS400



So we loaded up for the event and were on our way...



And 6 hours of riding bumpstops in the dually later we were in beautiful southern Oregon for Bash to the Future



It was blazing hot and everyone was having cooling issues so I ditched my hood early on



And the drifting commenced...






From the first run I could tell my clutch was weak...I was having to clutch kick multiple times each entry but I figured, I was there, Im going to run the car into the ground. After half of the first day my transmission started grinding 2nd gear bad and popping out of gear but again, I was there, I figured I might as well drive. And then the afternoon of the the first day of the event my transmission gave up. 2nd gear was gone, nonexistent, and it wasnt possible to do the tight kart track without it. So I limped the car to the pits and hung out with the rest of the drivers the rest of the day.

Here are my three favorite photos of the event





The next morning we decided to hit the road early since it was a long trek back...It got even longer when we got a flat on the trailer and had to unload to change the tire.



So thats that. Got the car back home, ordered parts, picked up parts and now I'm in the middle of my 350Z VQ transmission swap with a new lightweight flywheel and new 6 puck unsprung clutch. Bigger, badder, better...



Oh and since the car is down, my Lexus is gone, and the weather is EXCELLENT here in Portland right now, Ive been DDing my other toy...



Thats all for now...

great build dude.....congrats

Thanks bro

Lol thats funny. Yeah ok I remember that ls...makes me want one lol. Trade for an e39?? Haha

Haha no thanks bud

I love BCL wings and I don't care if they're functional or not. The drift pics adds validity to this build. Pretty stellar. And, kudos for pulling off that supermade face with popups...UP. I've seen a few but never with the ups up. Looks good.

I wish I still had my old BN type 2 but the Instant G works pretty well for me. Thank you!

keep that wing off.... forever

Wings on and staying on. Its way easier to find my car in parking lots with it on, duh.

That was a different car completely..I think his names Tony or something. He has different aero with canards, an Origin wing, and rattle can paint. I was one of guys bitching about my wing not being here until I noticed his wasnt a BCL wing haha. I was there in my black LS400 that day.
