Keyboard-Drifter.
Since everyone here's starting a project topic, I might as well join in...
Bought the car last year (after Kenji drove/drifted it) around for a year or so.
It had some weird problem with the engine idle, after a long time of searching (couple of months) it happend to be the inlet gaskets that were gone.
That's fixed now, and the car ran great.
Since I Don't have any REAL drifting experience (Except for the huge parking lot practise), i happend to have crashed her
There's a topic somewhere in the Drifting Chat subforum about it. Anyway I was driving around, kicked the clutch and I spinned. Hitting a lamppost with my left headlight.
Damage isn't that bad (no chassis stuff has been bend or something), but the bumper/bonnet/fender and some braces are pretty FUBAR'ed.
At the moment she's in our garage, and we're fixing her up. We = Me & Brother.
Tomorrow i'm picking up spare parts from fellow SXOC members. That whole headlight area was bent downwards, and needs replacing... need to pay 75euro for that shit
Picking up a pre-facelift bumper, black bonnet etc. as well.
Last week i've happen to come by a pair of nice reclining Sandtler buckets from a gay belgium 'carstyling' forum for 300 euro
.
Yes, I Need reclining seats since this is my daily drive car, and i'm uber-tall, with even longer legs. Fixed bucket = shite then.
I'm going to fit my Saab intercooler as well. I've bought it from a sxoc member for 100euro, but the piping he made is crappy welded, and i'm going to make some proper piping.
The car's got the follow mods so far:
- Apex springs
- Volk GT-N Replica wheels (18x7.5), yes, gay sizes i know but they were on the car when i bought it!
- Blitz SUS intake.
- HKS Hi-Power air filter thingie.
Probably some more stuff but can't remember at the moment.
I've also bought a Stage 1 chip off ebay for the huge amount of 30euro's shipped... hehe!
It pretty much sucks ass that I've crashed the car as I was saving up for either DW suspension, or a Kaaz LSD
Ow well, guess it will take a little longer then expected then.
Here are some pics of the car in the better days..
It had some T1-S 225/35 tires, but they were a bit too skinny for my liking. Bought some Vredesteijn Ultrac's 225/40 when the rear tires were worn, and a week after that I got 4 T1-R's 225/40 nearly new for 300 euro. (They fill the arches up a bit more...).
Anyway...
Once i've got her on the road again, my plan is to go to a DriftSchool here in Europe to get some real practice. My plan is not to hit a lamppost again ...
And, once i've got the money i'm buying either suspension, or a 2way!
I'm saving up for a trip to Japan as well, so depending on the priorities at that moment the car might have to wait up a bit!
Any input is welcome of course
