Never done one of these before so here it is. I had this car for almost 2 years now i'll put pictures of whats been done over 2 years and whats currently going on. This is my purely drift car have driven it on street lil while but mostly track car. Been to 4 events with is so far.

This is what i traded for it lol and what got me started drifting.

s14a sr20 european spec
5 lug swaped
front z32 brakes
unknown fmic
koyo rad
freshly painted pretty clean and straight
now the swap was not clean at all ghetto wire job wires hanging everywhere exposed just shitty

whole harness was pulled and redone the right way

battery moved to trunk got rid of all unwanted wires and heater core.
next was pbm solid rear subframe bushings

welded diff
got some used but like new stance coils from a member on here

my lil helper helping with corbeau seat mounted to the floor im 6'1" needed all the clearance possible so made my own bracket sit almost on the floor

this was my second even had alot of issues with car running hot as i would think found out latter it was only bad gauge
had alot of steering wobble at full lock due to tie rod overcentering

since the event i got some v3 gktech knuckles and some offset rack spacers with oem type tie rods
here is what i am working on at the moment
extending lcas 1.5" notching them and boxing

i know i did it backwards i boxed in the arms than i notched them oh well this was my first fab job turned out pretty good.

the tape on the floor was angle before the knuckles and extended lca's i like
only have one side done i dont have alot of time.
