Been a while since i was on here so gona update thread now.
With 2 rounds of idc gone pass and we had 2 throphies for 3rh place semipro rookie things were looking good and was leadind the rookie class and sitting 8th in semipro heading into ennis.
We done reli well in punchestown qualafied 11th in semipro on 1st qual lap and bust a gearbox on the 2nd so the brother and crew changed the gearbox for me in 20mins on the floor to get me back out for battles which i made it to the top 8 and their ileft was very happy with the weekend considering their was over 75 cars their sat morning.
Throphies

So ennis it was went up their on sat morning with weather i didnt want to see. Rain and wind and more rain. Pratice it was wet and it dryed up for qualafying so made things very thricky. So 1st qual lap their was an oil spilage on entry which i came in to fast and pushed me wide. 2nd qual lap was my own fault trying to hard for a big score and spun so i was dissapointed to say the least as i wanted to do well and get some more points on the board.
Here it now sits wating for round 4 of idc

thats a nice set up there lad.
brilliant build .
So after putting in 1 full year of compeative drifting iv decided to go full on and build a car for next year. 1st year went reli well finished up 4th in rookie semipro after missing round 5 of thks year I was happy wat I achived in my 1st year drifting. Learned alot and made some good friends along the way.
so for next year I decided I need more power and with .ore power need more grip and so on and so fourth ha. So was thinking bout 2.2 sr then was going to go for rb25 bjt decided on the toyota 1jz hearing alot of good about these so going for 480ish hp 1jz.
I will be runing nissan 350z gearbox on the back of it..
pics to follow later
So we went and bought

Pulling out all the stops now,will be seriously competitive with any car next year
Ive watched this car change a lot over the last couple of years, but i think now its at its most exciting :) here's another pic taken from the garage last night..
http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/...ps40c21a8d.jpg
oh the new lump will be sweet. 1jz FTW
Why go through all that for 480bhp :confused:
1jz ftw..
No messing around with you.. Won't be long till ye have it in..
Ye decide what management ye going??
Gem ran a real 430ish on a standard engine with td06 for a few seasons, with pistons and cams on top of that combo 480 out of reach compared to the extra weight and expense for that power with the JZ.
Like i said best of luck with it man, just seems a waste for the weight and ponies you are going for, not having a dig at ya so no need to get all defensive :)
You can buy a sr22 striker kit from apex in the uk for 1100 sterling! Be handi built just need to bore the block to fit 87mm pistons but I thnk 1js are just epic the sound alone! This build will be class either way ha
480hp in a 4 cylinder and 480hp in a 6 cylinder are 2 completely different kettles of fish, and the jz will be more reliable in that power figure compared to an sr. Good luck with the build Ant, so far all generations of this car is getting better and better
I will have the jz bought with new turbo . manifold and so on for same price worked it all out.
ya the jz sounds amazing
cheers dec. Ya I dont think I can do much more to in now after this conversion ha. Will need a new project me thinks ha. Jz s15 ;)
some major developments lad.
From what I remeber could be wrong but this was your first real attempt at building a drift car . hats off for the work gone in top class. 1J will be awesome
