Good job credit to ya lad it's not easy to do what ya want to your car in this day and age don't scratch it whatever ya do also I like what ya done with the front bumper I don't like the stylish origin bumper but the splitter you put on it gave it a different look and paid off

Thanks, not to worried about scratching it, all that "to clean to drift" is the biggest load of bollox. build it to wreck it.
Think spending thousands on a car to be "mint" is such a heap of shit especially a drift car build it to look awesome and have fun in it :)

Awesome car man, similar colour to my own s14. Can i ask did you pass the nct with the cage and harnesses? And do you still have the seatbelts fitted with the cage too? Im doing my nct soon hopefully and just have the cage and harnesses with no seabelts or rear seats, but the harnesses are E marked
thanks

yeah i never had any hassle with the cage or the harness's for the nct, I have rear seats but no belts on them as the harness's are bolted in and with the cross bar of the cage no one is ever getting in their and they never said anything. i had left in the belt as they were out of the way but they didnt even plug them in, i know a mate has an 86 levin and no belts and a harness and passed so..

right so 2013 plans
strip the engine and fully rebuild
new TD06 20g,
move steering rack back,
install Driftworks, 555 or Era1 Knuckles am undecided on which yet
get as much lock as possible,
and clean up engine bay.
going for this colour scheme. Black block and pipes etc and pink rocker cover
http://cdn.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mark8_1USa_1.jpg
And tube the front end
and get out on as many track days as possible, streeto is getting boring with lack of cars/people.

Sell the car and just build a car?? Your one crazy mother fucker if you track it man
decobyrne106
12-11-12, 02:46
do a tube front but keep it on the road aswell as track, too many cars going track now regret doing mine sometimes
It's staying a road car just want to get out and have some fun on track aswell :)
If you answer your phone you might get someone to drift with ;)
best put together 14 in the country,fair juice to ya dude

awesome car dude! i love the colour!
madness tracking it though! buy a missile a for the track!
Track is fun, ireland has a funny opinion on car road and track it either had to be one or the other, in america and Japan people just bring their cars to the track to have fun aswell as road use. prime example is the risky devils 180sx. and its just as risky what goes on, on the road compared to track.
In saying that i bet their are alot of people on here with road car that would love a shot out on track but without some lad in his shitbox Bmw he got the night before right up their hole of their pride'n'joy or one of the prodrift lads comin in as fast as possible when all their trying to do is have fun in a car they put shitloads of cash into, I think a track day where they stagger people on track, designed for newbies and lads with cars worth a fortune might work well, but untill that happens im just gonna dive in at the deep end.
sweet car :) whats the name of that roof spoiler?

Good job ali, thats the right way of looking at it. No reason you can't enjoy it on track too. Im glad i take mine on track too, i got a small tip in it just after respraying it this summer but it doesn't matter. You should try tynagh next year, its a plenty big track with a bit of run off too. You would be best of trailering it though as its peace of mind, and it saves a huge amount on petrol too!
To follow up on my questions from before, my car just passed the nct with harnesses and through dash cage, no seatbelts or rear seats and after 5 drift events this year im pretty happy with that. But Im going to build a crash bar for the front for next year to protect the intercooler. Thanks for the add on FB too man
Nice job, where'd you pick up the stack gauges? The look class!
DemonTweeks, their the pro series ones
on the track thing, i was full set on bringing my e30 out to mondello untill they started putting the tyre bails out and that lad with the twincam flipped, then i said fuck that get a shitbox bmw instead.:D
Yeah the bails are a load of shit
You would be best of trailering it though as its peace of mind, and it saves a huge amount on petrol too!

decided to remove the engine and gearbox, clean the whole engine bay and spray it, relocate the fusebox and battery to the boot and do a tidy job on re-wiring the engine bay

Serious bit of work being done, cage fitment looks really good! Keep up the good work!

Keep at it dude, its looking great! And best of luck when competition time comes!
Great work Jay, can`t wait to se it in action.
