as you can see this isnt a weekend project- and its not like i'm just fitting mew gauges....

i've just bought the car off the Hoff- after he had it for His Na TT convertion...

 

so the Plan-

350-400 bhp drift car

light weight (as much as ine of these things will ever be!)

EDC/ BDC spec (ie cage seats and all those little technical things)

cheap the whole car- done running finished- cheap... i mean real cheap. £4000.

 

so i'm going to be doing all the work- (and a few mates....)

 

 

 

 

first things 1st!

That wouldn't be Gethins by any chance would it mate? I hear he landed on his feet again.

 

3S GTE or maybe 1JZ GTE would be well suited to the lightweight and drifting premise.

 

I still think this would be your best option as I said last time I saw you:)

 

I'll be down one night. Things are still a bit hectic in the evenings and weekends. I still cant get on the net in the new house even:blink:

 

Still, I'll be having a week off soon. And once I've sorted a couple of outstanding parts I need to get sent I can come over and pass you spanners:)
