Hey all a couple people suggested I come over here and check out this forum.
I'm on all the other forums under the same name -Clubloose, D-Faction, SlideNY and a few others. I'm in the process of putting together a drifting series at Monticello Motor Club for next seasn -details will be out soon.
Anyway I have been drifting for a few years and involved in the scene since about 2003 -back when CL started -I did not really start driving until 2008 when I purchased an FC.
This is how she sat at first -Bone stock with 60k on the clock -I was happy
Shortly later I got some wheels, coilovers, clutch and a diff -game on.
The 18" wheels looked great -but were no good for drifting -not enough power... so I got some 15x8" and ran small tires -worked great.
Then knuckles and tie rod ends (they are actually S13 rod ends lol )
Knowing I was going to do a major power upgrade and would need more tire -and also without thinking it through -I cut up my fenders and modded some 240z flares to fit -came out pretty good.
Time for power -got an LS2 and a T-101 4sp Dogbox
Fabbed up a trans mount:
BAM!
I then got the dumb -well maybe smart idea to tear every single wire out of the car -I then made an entire chassis harness and this guy from scratch:
Got it running -however I hurt the engine right away -never bead blast an aluminum oil pan... tough lesson.
So I drove it with the LS a handful of times and it was awesome -The engine was not hurt too bad at all -I noticed a drop in oil pressure and pulled the oil pan to fins debris and some blasting material -looks like I'm just going to have to clean everything really well -replace all bearings and I'm good to go.
And this is how she was sitting before I tore out the engine:
