new project/drift car

[Paukert11]

you just showed me the perfect way to turbo my m60.

[eurotrash]

well burns out with 2 wheels, clunks in low speed turns, and rotates on demand. time to get my hands on a few sets of wheels and drive sideways.

on anouther note. it seems to be impossible to get bilsteins that fit up front. after a few hours of calls and looking up part #s we think ive got a set that should of come with both male and female gland nut but minre were returned at one point and they may have kept the male gland nuts. ive got to call bilstein again to get it squired away tomorrow.

Looking good man! I need to see this thing in person sometimes!

[eurotrash]

jai and charlie @lynnwood tire/garage 99 got my bilstein situation figured out. they'll go in this week. ordered my stud conversion from kaliboy but unfortunately i wont be getting um til after my first event sun so ill be running my 215 on the back and 225 up front for clearance.

Clutch cable broke weds. Fixed it thurs. Installed bilsteins finally yesterday tried to drive the car to work this am so i could get tires mounted and an alignment after. Got half way and had to pull over due to the oil pressure line burning thru on the header. It got move against it during the clutch cable swap and i didnt notice. Took four trips to napa and me giving up the idea of an electrical gauge to see that oil pressure was ok dispite loosing 2 quarts. Now the alt doesnt wanna charge. Looks like my first event wont be til next weekend.

wound up making a gm 1 wire alt work so i didnt have to figure out the retarded ford crap. also picked up a copper tube kit for the oil pressure gauge so no more surprises there.

im broke so i wont be driving tomorrow. looks like my first event wont be til june 3rd. gives me time to clean up the wiring and tie up loose ends

[eurotrash]

Not much new Cleaned stuff up a bit and washed it for the first time











The list of stuff needed is growing. Gonna need a wilwood/tilton brake/hydro clutch setup. need a holley carb so i can run the centerhung wedge floats. Need a ducted 14" intake. Basicly all new bushings and a legit susp. Setup.

All that said i can huck it sideways and it'll be fun so ill be on track jun 3rd

[JasonC]

SBFs are kind of narrow! And watch that aircleaner. The foam will deteriorate over time and the crap will fall into the carb.

[eurotrash]

Its only there until i can afford the ducted setup. Ive got hawaii in 3 weeks so itll be. After that. Gotta save cash for excursions. 1st world problems

[FunfGan]

Awesome man :)

[KamakaziX]

Got any driving vids yet?

[eurotrash]

no vids but i did make it to the track.



unfortunately it wasnt to drive. i pitted for this guy (chase car) @ our local formula d pro am event.



he made fourth dispite being grossly underpowered in a sbc iron block swapped 240 (which dyno'd at a tiny 230whp) proof that everyone has 600hp in the rain.

just for fun the starting grid




the green fusion 240 is actually the new car that erich is driving this year.

[FunfGan]

So is june 3rd still the first track day?

[kman_e30]

i want to see this thing get sideways already!:up:

[eurotrash]

welp. made it to the track and drove sideways a bit. good news is that i was right and moving the weight to the backside of the front axel helped keep the weight over the axel down. bad news is that it also made it so i was light nosed and a gripped alittle too well in the rear. also ran into the carb issue and with the edelbrock on it would slosh over and kill the car and id have to wait for the bowls to refill b4 i could restart it. only go pro footage of myself was basicly no good because we had so much going on. had fun anyways and now ive got a bit of a feel for the car and know for sure what i need to fix and adjust.


wasnt super rad on track but did manage to get a couple pictures







did go for a ride in a buddys ls fc and this is the footage from him. not as new to drifting as i am but still a new dude. good to see him starting to get a feel for things
