Digging this car more and more each time you update the thread. A lot of folks on this board could take a lesson from what you're doing here. Building a car for a purpose and actually having fun with it instead of being a hard-parker with an ultra slammed vehicle that wouldn't survive a speed bump, let alone any type of actual motorsport. Much respect man.

Definitely looks like everything is getting better and better the more you post! Your thread gets me really excited about ripping the S14 apart this winter to trackorize it. Next season is going to be great!

Are you going to be making it to GT Live @ VIR in October? That's my next event planned outside of the driftwater events (it is kind of the only event going on between now and then).

im pretty sure gt live is invite only :/

i do plan on making vir happen again.... 64 dollar super 8 motel 2 person ftw. 3 ways haha


if anyone doesnt remember the previous owner stripped the steering colum thread for the wheel, i had impacted a jeep lugnut on there to hold my hub in efforts to keep the wheel hub on and continue to drift


DO NOT BUY CHEAP HUBS!!! lmao!

the gears, on the hub stripped?!?!?! mid drift....


luckly... the guy with the whiplash drift truck happened to have a gas welder and there was a power source nearby for it.... never gas welded before
just to get 4.5 hours home home we did this



went to the yard and got a new colum shaft... very simple to remove



<3 this haha




old dominion 1/8 mile to get some reaction time down tomorrow
