Team 307 RB26 s14.5

Its time to post up some progress of my s14 build "Yes another s14"

When it comes to drifting im very much un-known ive done about 4 years of building setting up and competing in this car.

Ive wanted to build a comp drift car for a lot of years now and am finaly in the position to go for it. I am not a mechanic, fabricator or an engine tuner but im hoping to show that with a bit of back ground and a lot of ambition i can build a awsome drift machine. I will also be using lots of ideas from other peoples build pages.

Any advice you can give of if you spot anything i could be doing better just post a comment. If your in the aberdeen area drop me a comment as well.

Right it starts with a 23 hour drive down to gloucestershire and back to pick up the car

looks like youre gonna be doing a proper job on this mate, looking forward to following and seeing how the build goes!
 
Thanks for the comments i hope to make some big progress over the next few weeks. maybe get some cutting done!
 
Alright dude, welcome along. There's loads of folk in the Aberdeen area with more s-bodies per population head than anywhere else in Scotland by a long shot. There's plenty of knowledge up here if you need any help or advice. We all meet up once a month for food or a piss up etc around Aberdeen. You'll have to get yourself along. There's also various night time activities that I'll explain in person. :)

Fuk maaaan you have gone all out! If that was any lighter it would fly, even with 10j wheels it was sketchy so your gonna need a poo bag attached to the driver seat :)

I see my pikey brake mods are still in lol

Did you still want the front arb?
