IT'S FUCKING ALIVE!!!!

I love this car so much. When I started this (re)build I had a idea in my head about how everything would come together and this car honestly blew all my expectations out of the water.

The comp was really fun. Qualified 12th out of 30~ drivers. Lost to my good friend Joe Tardiff in the top 16 unfortunately. To many small mistakes. I really need a lot more seat time but for the first outing in the car I don't think I could come away to disappointed.

congrats man! vid looks good considering all the major changes and the fact that you haven't driven for a minute. i can say with confidence that i would have smashed into every one of those inside clips. looked like a tough setup.

Yea the correct line (which I never found) took a lot of dedication. Big throttle off the bank. If you lift you would have to extend and it would really choke you at the first inside clip. I watched a lot of my footage and I know where I can improve next time. I just need to get comfortable with the new setup. The thought that was always in the back of my head was that I built this in my garage haha.

lunarbomb · 04-20-2014, 03:43 PM

looked pretty good to me man. do the boost series thing on the 27th. give me some tips and i can finally get that ride along.

Possibly. Considering Vegas drift also that weekend. Come out this Wednesday!

PoorMans180SX · 04-20-2014, 08:48 PM

Car looks mega rad in those shots man!

d-man478 · 04-20-2014, 11:49 PM

Damn this thing is looking dope! Congrats on getting it finished and out to the track! I'm almost done with my LS build for this season, seeing this makes me even more excited!

Get it done! I love this motor. I see the benefits of the now super popular JZ setup but the torque and reliability is amazing. I literally just checked the oil all day. Zero problems. I'll be drifting again this Wednesday night. SEAT TIME SEAT TIME SEAT TIME!!

GSXRJJordan · 04-21-2014, 12:02 PM

Car looks amazing. So excited that you had a fun first day out (finally)!

Dude you have no idea. Once again I can't thank you enough for all your support with my project. The car had zero mechanical problems at the track and I definitely can't take the credit for that.

If you need anything for a car Jordan Innovations is the place to go.

DJPimpFlex · 04-22-2014, 09:58 AM

At 1:34 you can see my top 16 lead run which was probably my best run of the day. It was still not enough to overcome my lackluster chase run.

Mannykiller · 04-22-2014, 01:06 PM

Sick man!! car looks nice!!!

spooled240 · 04-22-2014, 01:30 PM

car looks great!

DJPimpFlex · 04-24-2014, 11:00 AM

Here is another epic shot from ProAm

I also got to drive at Sonoma yesterday on the Summer Jam layout (turns 3, 3a, 4). Car felt great. Crazy fast, all 4th gear.

1. Part out front suspension
2. Buy TDP kit
3. Profit

I kid, but I'm kinda serious

d-man478 · 04-24-2014, 09:49 PM

If you don't mind me asking, what size tires are you running?

You love that TDP stuff haha. If I was going to switch it would be to wisefab but I don't think I will. The car is together and driving and I just plan on destroying as many tires as I can and getting better.

Nothing major lately. Got a new oil filter mount and all new oil lines. It was a nightmare but it's done. Next track day is probably next Wednesday. I want to go to Thunderhill this weekend but I have to figure out a muffler so they don't kick me out.

Thanks!! I've considered switching colors many many times but I'm really happy with it now and everyone knows my army green color now so I can't change.

DJPimpFlex · 05-18-2014, 12:08 PM

Took the car out to do a little shake down yesterday. Really fun, the car drives great. TONS of drifting coming up so I'll have a lot more to post about.

Also here is Lifeblasters coverage of GGD Rd.2.

Golden Gate Drift Round 2: The ups and the downs

Royal_T · 05-18-2014, 03:33 PM

Man loving everything about this car bro.. Keep it up.

DJPimpFlex · 05-22-2014, 04:51 PM

Got to do some drifting last night. Glad I did as my whole wiring decided to take a shit. All my fault. Trying to do things without the right tools is biting me in the ass. I have a bunch of small shit to fix up before top drift this weekend. When the car was running it was an absolute monster though. Super fast. If I can keep it running all weekend I think I stand a chance at qualifying!

Thanks to Daniel Has A Camera and Kamikaze Garage for the photos!

DJPimpFlex · 05-22-2014, 05:32 PM

This sweet edit from CSL Productions just popped up! Nice little photo shoot of my car.
