FD3S Rx-7 V8 powered drift machine from up north. FRESH PAINT!!

Hello fellow drifters..

This is build to run in the Norwegian powerdrift series and hopefully some international series..
It is a 1993 Mazda Rx-7 that is bone stock. It had a engine, tranny and diff but thats all gone now.

I will be running a ls2, a 4 speed dog shift (tex, jerrico, mid valley, gsr etc) and hopefully a speed way quick change diff.
About the exterior it will be alot like my skyline. Simple, low and some nice rims.

The plan is to build it as an race car but whit a street car exterior..

I have to admit after being whit my mate Fredric Aasbo to both america and the middle east, i have gotten alot of inspiration from the formula D cars and having some of that in mind...

I had this car in my backyard for way to long, so i figured out why not build a pro drift car???

This is how it looks by now. Right now im in a little short of money, and i hope someone buys my Skyline...

Nissan Skyline R32 GTR 1991, kr 180000,- -

I have also welded a cage that i post pics of later on.
I try to do everything on my own to keep costs down and rater spend money on a good engine/drive train package:)


Have a nice day!

Joachim

Awesome, I love it. Katech bulds some fantastic LS engines. Perfect engine for the perfect car. Ive seen a few Katech ls 7's before. Thats my dream engine.
 
I bet it's going to sound poo and lack lots of torque !!!! Only kidding it will be quite the opposite very jealous :(
 
It seems that every project thread from Norway and the surrounding areas are carried out by people with insane fabrication skills and a huge budget. Why is this? Do you guys learn this stuff at school or something?! Or I guess we just don't see the basic stuff over here.
 
Great going Joachim! :)

This is definatly going to be a car(and driver..) to watch out for in 2012!

Norwegians are born with a MIG welder, it's comes as standard.
