Drift Innovation Motorsport S14

[Jay Rockett]

Some of you may have been following this build on Facebook but I'v been meaning to post it up here too!

This is Gary Mahony's S14, which we fully rebuilt during 2012 with alot of changes.. The development and
improvements are on-going with this car as with the sport itself, and we use this car to show our capabilities and
craftsmanship at Drift Innovation Motorsport. (www.facebook.com/dimotorsport)

The build on Facebook - DI Motorsport S14 (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.350057005044212.76844.183605325022715&type=3)



So this is Gary's S14 after the 2011 Prodrift season before we started the tear down!

Tunnel and bulkhead cut to make room for the RB25 box
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3026.jpg

This size of a tunnel allowed us to move the engine, box, rad and intercooler
2 inches back, helping with weight distribution and protecting the intercooler!

Next i started making some brackets to secure the new boot floor
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3063.jpg

Bent at right angles
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3072.jpg

And cut into individual brackets

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3131.jpg

Then we started making floor mounts for Gary's seat rail.. Gary's a tall guy so
his seat bolts directly to the floor!

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3203.jpg

We then started fitting the over-fenders, squeezed to a little over 50mm

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3324.jpg

After giving it some thought, we changed the round bar connecting the lever
to the cylinder to a square bar for added strength!

And back from paint!! We were delighted with the colour, its a certain Grey colour I'v wanted to
spray my own car for a long time and mixed with the Purple interior Gary wanted, it looks
very well in the flesh! Big shout out to Mark at MG Crash Repairs for the amazing job!

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSC_0074.jpg

Bob started making up a new exhaust

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/IMG_1010.jpg

Starting to come together now!

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSC_00242.jpg

Attention to detail is key!!
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSC_0026.jpg

We then made some knew Steering Knuckles

[Jay Rockett]

To aid cooling we came up with a Front Ducting System
http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3485.jpg

http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m495/JayRockett/DI%20Motorsport%20S14%20build/DSCF3486.jpg

Bumper fits perfectly over the Front Duct

And to shed more weight we replaced all glass with Polycarbonate

We cut the doors out saving a huge amount of weight and I came up with a
simple yet effective way of replacing the inside door handle

And here's some of the only shots I found of the car in Mondello at the Prodrift Final's..
Unfortunately in these shots its only running 17x7j's on the rear for the first few runs so
Gary can get used to the changes from last year, especially the higher level of grip

The car isnt fully complete, we're waiting on wider front wings, wheel change/colour change
and some sort of rear wing/spoiler in the next few weeks! Thanks for reading!

[joey banana s14]

now thats a build to be proud of, well done lads awesome stuff

[sparky]

this car is incredible, the quality of the work from jay and all of the DI motorsport is amazing, hopefully the Shadow14 will take a trip to them shortly for some work :)

[Chuck_g]

Was checking her out in Mondello....savage job lads, fairplay :)

[haydomiata]

That work is amazing! The attention to detail u have is amazing! How did u go about makin the smart strings if ya don't mind me asking?

[Spartacus]

Man I wish I had a Bob in my garage!

[damo86]

what power did it make?

[Jay Rockett]

That work is amazing! The attention to detail u have is amazing! How did u go about makin the smart strings if ya don't mind me asking?

We just bought the steel and made the frames, its a simple design but its so
handy!


Man I wish I had a Bob in my garage!

Hahaha yeah he's a very handy guy, we wouldnt be doing these builds without him!

[NoelB]

That is a brilliant thread. Everything done in house. Something to be very proud of. Can see ye getting a lot of new customers after reading this ha

[juice]

Popped into the garage lately and must say the level of work is top class.

Best of luck with the new venture guys!!

[PeterT]

serious attention to detail alrite!

Jaysus id say you spent some amount of time making that build thread!!

[Jay Rockett]

Jaysus id say you spent some amount of time making that build thread!!

Haha no not really, just alot of pics to go through!

[kev.skyline]

looks like top class work.
do you have a tyre machine down there?

[Mabbit]

Wish I had a car like that hehe;)

[CWALSH200]

Thats the job fair play bob seems to be the man with the plan..

[damo86]

what power did it make?

as above

[Darren]

There's some amazing fab work goin on there! i wish a had some of bob's skills

[1jsoarer]

Savage build there lads! alot of thought gone into it. i dont know if a would if used perspex though as it goes dull and yellow and its a bit harder to shape/form. Theres a crowd in walksintown goldstarplastic.ie that do poly carbonite sheets cut to suit very cheap, about €150 a car. just in case ya wanted to use it in future. best of luck with DI motorsport

[Funnyonion]

Unbelievable stuff lads poor ol bob is a busy lad!!! Great to see people doing builds like this. Keep it up lads!!

[Jay Rockett]

as above

Just shy of 400 bhp, waiting on adjustable cam pulleys then we'll map it again!

My bad, it is actually polycarbonate from Grp4 Fabrications that we used!
I keep calling it Perspex! But €150 for a full set sounds very good!

[hoges147]

Yere animals... Come live wit me for a week nd il find ye summet to do.

[Jay Rockett]

Quick Update!

I had my first competition in a good while last weekend at DriftFest Fermoy,
and we collected a few bits to make the car a bit more 'Manly'!

New Front Bumper, unfortunately we couldnt get an Origin to replace the one
originally fitted to the car so a Uras will do for now!

We also got a Rocket Bunny Rear Wing and got both painted and fitted for the event..
Still waiting to decided on a colour for the wheels, then the car will be almost
finished in terms of 'Looks'!

I qualified 10th overall placing me in the Pro Class!
Here's my Top 16 battle against Sam Farrell.. My biggest worry of the
weekend was going against a slow car as our S14 has a huge amount of grip
and slowing the car down was going to be tricky, despite doing everything
we could to try get rid of rear end grip, it was still too grippy and i straightened
handing the win to Sam who drove a brilliant lead and chase run!

All in all i'm delighted with the weekend, the level of grip is something i havnt
experienced before and i'm happy that what i'v learned in my time off
competing is working! I also found the gear ratio's of the RB25 gearbox to be
completely unsuitable with a 4.1 diff, so i'll be changing something there soon!

Few more action shots!

[Kruizer]

One on the best build threads on here by far, amazing detail gone into her, well done and all the best for the future mate...

Why not purple for the wheels to match the interior ?

Thanks dude!

We had debated over purple for the wheels but we think it'd be too dark and dark wheels dont work against the grey when the car is on track, moving etc!

Kinda thinking it should be a slightly brighter colour, i'm looking at a mixture of light bronze/dark gold and get a pair of XXR 527's for the front to match the rear!

[Kruizer]

Kawasaki Green maybe or Mazda True Red ? Red on grey always looks awesome...
