Project Maximum (Stack) Attack!

[stack-180sx]

Hey lads,

As some of ye may know, I made pure shit of my 180SX at Prodrift Round 3 in Punchestown last year.

So after that there was nothing to do but start repairing and rebuilding!

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0123.jpg

I started stripping it down, and found that my intercooler

oil cooler

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0138.jpg

and radiator

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0141.jpg

were all fucked :(

After stripping it down, I realised that the damage was worse than I thought, and the chassis leg was moved over and down a small mickey length (a good two inches)

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0174.jpg

Also a Tein tie rod in shit

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0125.jpg


So like any fella in this situation would do, I called on the Polish fella, and set him to work! ;)

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0170.jpg

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0177.jpg

As ye can see, the valance was unrepairable...

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0179.jpg

Se he cut it out

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0183.jpg

So then Mr. Mike Fitz said I could cut the only good side off his Bridgestone Sileighty, so I called up to him and did a bit of this... :evil:

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/270084_227124073996682_100000972722020_605656_6500 44_n.jpg

To get this... :laugh:

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/198751_227124307329992_100000972722020_605661_2142 3_n.jpg

So I set the Polish fella to work again, and I said while we were at it we would move the tubs forward to stop the wheels rubbing off em (Idea copyright Gavin Lenihan!)

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0189.jpg

http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy263/stack-180sx/drift%20car%20rebuild/DSCN0188.jpg

Once he had all that finished, I stripped it to a bare shell and sent it away to RoCo Performance to get a new cage and bumper bar, while I fucked off to Australia for five months.

that was on WCP dyno the only one the car will ever be on more agressive map this year for more ponies :D

[B&G Extreme Drifting]

Jaysus man thats a lovely set up car, all round!! some power id say lad, some lift out of her!! yea wcp are very good and really nice bloke John is! alot of lads seem to not understand that the Dyna Dynamics rolling road is the finest rolling road out there that gives true and pin point readings!!!! and not a figure that you want to hear!! I know there is some pull out that car of yours yea? that 365 WOULD BE 400+ in other places.

[180sx kid]

who mapped that for u??

why such low bhp ? tdp are givin lads 320bhp on standard engine standard air flow and standard injectors... and all the work u hav done then and only a small power figure for 1.3 bar???

it will b chronic

[MissSuz]

Well what can I say , I really enjoyed that oul read and I dont know if you did it on purpose but it's the easiest build thread iv ever followed!!

Generally I havent a clue what's going on :p So I just be looking at the pictures waiting for the finished product but this is a whole different ball game and this is how I learn :)

That day in Punch was one for the books...the whole place and its mother were getting slapped off the wall lol. Its funny actually as I see your name pop up somewhere on fb the other day and I thought to myself 'I wonder did that lad ever fix his car' and I come over here and find this!! :):)

Fair play for putting it all back togeher again. Will you have it finished for Ennis?

[MikeFitz]

Shtack made a pass at me last nite. That is all. :D

[Chuck_g]

Shtack made a pass at me last nite. That is all. :D

Its hardly his fault to be truthfully honest :cool:

[stack-180sx]

[dR Dan]

Jesus christ will ya get Mike off those bars before he hurts himself again!

[derek89]

Great build man can't wait to see it in rnd 2.

[MissSuz]

Hopefully Punchestown wont try and kill you out again this year :)
