CURRENT S14 spec list at the bottom of the page!
Hey guys!
I'm gonna start a build thread so I can keep track of all my adventures and dumb things I do to and with my car!
Thread will be picture heavy and contain a lot of writing, so if you don't feel like reading then you've come to the wrong thread.
I'll update in stages of everything's that's happened and break up the posts to make it easier!
FIRST OFF: INTRODUCTION
Names Zac
(@zacbognar)
21 years old, from Melbourne Australia.
Been hooked on the idea of drifting for the past 5 years, got my license at 18 years old. In Aus you're restricted on what cars you can drive heavily for the first 3 years on your license.
Had a shit daily whilst trying to build trAck cars for 2013 and 2014, gave up on every build and was just a failure when it came to it.
Late 2014 I bit the bullet and bought a local missile car off a friend of mine.
It was an r32 skyline, bone stock rb20det and some upgraded cooling. Coil overs, welded diff and some cut n shut knuckles. No dash no interior etc was just a major pig.
Having never driven a turbo car or really drifted before I did what all sensible people learning to drift would do!!
Entered a Matsuri event with some of the worlds biggest names of drift, which was also 16 hours from my house and halfway across the country! Not knowing anyone else going!! Will update later with a YouTube link.
Anyway, major issues towing the car there blah blah boring stuff etc. Drove all weekend, made some great mates. Rubbed doors and guards with the best of the best. Learnt more than most in the space of two days. Thanks to Luke fink, stewy Bryant, Ryan tuerck and Simon michelmore for letting me practice tandems with them!! (They never knew I hadn't really drifted before but fake it til you make it right?) PHOTOS:
Best weekend of my life.
A month after this in early 2015 I cracked the sads with life and decided I didn't want a car I can only drive once every few months.
Built a pretty sick ke70! Streeted the fuck out of it and drove it around Aus.
Anyway I blew up the 4age I spent so much money on and then cracked the sads once again and parted the car out.
Bought a cheap sr20de s13 (p plate license restrictions) did the usual shit, coils knuckles etc.
slapped her on 15s and continued to street the life out of it. Mountains, industrials you name it.
(Girlfriend with the pose)
And anyway after a few months I decided the car scene was rubbish, I didn't like the people anymore and streeting wasn't really quenching my thirst for aggressive driving. (I crack the shits a lot, oops)
Bought a daily civic and told myself I wouldn't drift until 2017.
AND THAT BRINGS ME TO 2016, wasn't I wrong.
Made friends with a local tyre shop and started attending drift events and helping change tyres, one of my mates built a pretty mental drift ute and took me out for a passo ride.
Beginning of the end right there, my bug was back and it bit me harder than ever.
March 2016. Hadn't drifted on a track since my first turbo car in 2014.
Went on the hunt for something as either a full built car or a suitable base to build a competitive track car!
Long story short, ended up with this scrap heap two weeks before I turned 21!
Post will be continued below with a spec list etc..
