Drift Shell

The winner is......

NONE! (would have been #3 black coupe though)

A great deal popped up and I got this~~~

Perfectly clean, 1995 wingless trunk zenki for $1,500!

Keep an eye out, Kansas kids will be drifting legit this summer!

James Fries

Lets pretend for a moment that a serious drift event was getting ready to go down in my back water state and I've decided that drifting my daily driven kouki into a wall is not an option.
I just want a legit chassis to learn/excel on.

Here are my 3 prime choices of shells for drift/track car.
(Shells because I have a sr20det sitting in my garage)

#1 Red Hatch -$900 Ka sittin in the bay, just isn't hooked up. Paint is gay but fuck it. No sunroof/Frame rails are straight and clean. Car is close so total after putting on a trailer home :$1,200.00

#2 Red Coupe -$800 Blown Ka, paint/body is clean as hell. Frame rails are straight tiny bit of surface rust. Car has aftermarket sunroof.
Trailer total: $1,300.00

#3 Black Coupe -$1,350 Blown KA, Paint/body is clean. Frame rails/body is rust fucking free. Missing a hub cap

, slick top/no sunroof.
Trailer total: $1,800.00

i voted number 1, it has a good motor (i think?), no sunroof, and its the cheapest.

number 3 was a close second, but thats a lot for a car with a blown motor unless you plan to swap, if you do, this would be my choice.

as for #2, non OEM sunroofs are bad news, i'd stay away from that.

*sac* · 03-12-2008, 11:52 PM

well i see alot more hatch's here in SLC. i say go for a coupe! BUT if your just using it to learn from.. go with the cheapest thing possible!!

*hotlavaflow* · 03-13-2008, 01:24 AM

Makes sense to get the hatch. Just learning and cheapest option. Plus you won't have to do the swap right away. I prefer coupes (stiffer and lighter) and don't like the aftermarket sunroof so I say get #1 or #3. Personally I'd try to talk down the seller on three and go for that that's why I voted for #3.

*shade* · 03-13-2008, 04:00 PM

Number 1. The cheapest one with a motor that isn't blown. Its also a base model too.

Depends on taste. Hatch or Coupe.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 03-13-2008, 05:03 PM

I really say #1. Sounds like the easiest to me.

*azndoc* · 03-13-2008, 09:31 PM

I have a hatch but want a coupe for extra. So thus I voted for coupe.

But which one? ohhhhhhhhhhhh

*ALEXTHESUS*PECT* · 03-13-2008, 09:33 PM

coupe is better; and the cheaper one with straight frame rail should be fine!
#2

s13.dark1 · 03-13-2008, 11:16 PM

i say #3 ya its more money but it sounds like the body looks nice. plus coupes r way better

Palmer · 03-14-2008, 05:28 PM

What ever you do get a coupe. I'd get the blk coupe personally but, if its going to be a drift car than its probably gonna recieve its fair share of dents and scratches.

DAMMIT, I voted before reading the post. I voted for the black coupe, but for what your looking for I would go with the black hatch.
