Your drifter: Before & After

fsr · 07-27-2005, 04:51 PM

Hi guys. I started a similar thread on another forum, and it turned out great. So I figured I should do the same here

The point is to post pictures of your car before you began to modify it for drifting and after you where "done". Whether you just lowered it, or buildt a full out drift car, I want to see it

Some rules though:

1. Only two pics. Before and after!
2. Maximum width 600px!
3. Feel free to comment, but keep it tidy and on topic!

I'll start by posting my 180sx (or 200sx as it's called here in Norway).

------------------------------------------------------------------
Info
When I bought it it had a T28 turbo, FMIC, rear arb and some 15" alloys. I've been on a budget on this project, and as it sits now it's total cost is about $5000...

Mods
1. Tanabe coilovers
2. J-blood bodykit
3. 2-way Kaaz LSD
4. Stripped interior
5. Sparco seat and Sabelt 4-point harness
6. Poly bushings (rear subframe and front arb)
7. Manifold, elbow and downpipe
8. HKS cat-back
9. 17" MIM alloys (cheap

)

Not near finished, but at least it drifts well and will hopefully be reliable

Before

After

Was going to get new wheels as they are off another car. But I decided to move to the UK instead. Ive finished with Drifting so I didn't get new wheels. My money is spent elsewhere now.

j.r. · 08-03-2005, 07:28 AM

Still Alive after being smashed a few to many times and a couple motors and turbos later ! i will not let it go until it is completely totaled.
