My E30 LS1 Drift Car

[Jezza]

Motor is finally out.

[Jezza]

Time to start tearing it down.

Cleaning it up, just waiting for the Monster clutch to come in and I can give it to the guys at Insane Innovations to make some custom mounts.



A few photos of the cage, door bars, x bracing to strut tower bars, and a and b pillar reinforcements are whats left to be done.

Looking good!

BTW, hopefully your not too mad, really loved your bash bar. Still need to rust it LOL

[Jezza]

Thats looks good man!

[FLG]

All thanks to yourself for the idea, really love it. Heres the finished product, would be awesome if you were local and we could tandem together.

Love the build! Especially since it just got a few more cylinders ;)


Just a small question/ observation since I might build myself a similar bash bar-

Are the only mounting points for it the stock bumper shocks? It seems like a hard hit could bend it, and potentially bend onto the ground/ into an intercooler. Have you considered tying a second set into the bottom corners of the core support? This would help out a lot, as well as spread the force of an impact. Not at all trying to make a huge deal/ be rude about something so small, just though I'd throw it out there :)

I'd be concerned of it bending the core support and smashing the fan into the radiator.

Also I would rather it bent then potentially be too stuff and bent my frame. Well see how it holds up.

Also the intercooler is mounted to the shocks, if they bend so will it so the distance to the bash bar will remain the same.

I love this car! Can't wait to see it in action.

[Jezza]

More pictures of the cage, door bars are definitely my favorite part. Next up is mounting the LS and tubbing the front end.

[Jezza]

Like it was meant to be!
