Newest addition to my collection - Sr86

[pinny]

I just got into drifting in the last year or so. I bought a 180 off seamie in PPC and went from there doing practice days here and there and especially in tynagh.
as much as i loved the 180 n not caring too much about panels n bumpers (thank god for cable ties:)) i still only wished i was in a cam but including the bang off the sr20.

The idea of building an sr86 from scratch or bare shell was an option but space, time and overall cost ruled that out. I started looking for an unfinished project. Ended up trying to deal on 2 cars but couldnt agree euros. I put it on the back shelf then for a while until i got chatting to Brian Ledwith (Leadfoot) who had for sale almost exactly what i was after. Big thanks to Brian for being so easy deal with and straight up.

No. You cut the mounting points off the ae86 axle and weld them onto the vanette axle. I havent done it but it seems very straight forward

[hoopsbhoy]

LOoks well man, best of luck with it. Would love and sr cam some day.

Nice buy an like the colour it's different building one my self can't wait to get it out

[pinny]

Cheers lads.
Few people mentioned the colour, its similar to my 180 n fancy a change so itl def be getting painted.
Hopefully some strange different colour but keeping standard bumpers with lots of low.
Bought a set and a half of redline rear lights last week :)
