My Canadian Drift Evo Build

[poirier4]

Hey guys welcome to my new build, this is my third evo, it's an evo 1 gsr which will be stripped down and built into a true drift car


anyways


the car was in an accident and the front end will need to be redone


first time seeing the car on pictures



when i first went to see it after trading my wrx for the evo 3 and the evo 1 gsr smashed



after sitting there since like january i went to pick it up finally





my 3 evos or Threevo lol :P, my green rwd converted summer evo 1, my black evo 3 daily/winter beater, and my evo drift car build



some damage and missing door that the guy had sold,... damn lol



engine should still be good so i can sell and make some money for the build

shock tower bent and frame rail too...



my friend has given me this car dodge colt for parts, was going to be a rally car build but he decided to scrap it so i took it for fixing the front end

front end of the colt undamaged , started stripping and getting engine ready to remove



ok back to rwd evo build


gay chrysler logo on fender in place of indicators, now these will be replaced with indicators that i have poped them out for now

door bolted on, fender just put on not bolted

hood on but only so it doesnt rain into the engine, anyways i got something planned for the hood you guys will see duh




well thats it for now but my plan is something like this


the reasons i'm going with sr20 and not 4g63
well for starters this is a budget evo drift build car so it would be way to costly fitting and finding the transmission and mating, water pump etc when i can just put in an engine that is made to be like that and reliable easy to mod and will make the power goals i want, maybe i'll eventually go back to 4g63 but if i do want to challenge the big boys in the states one day i'm thinking mitsubishi v6 twin turbo mated to a hollander transmission with or a jerico 4speed with dogbox but thats just a dream right now and a realisation once i get more sponcers and money lol but for now sr20


as for body will probably do something custom wide-body dunno yet we'll see

was planning on using a s13 front subframe but there are rules in my local drift competition that i plan on competing in once my car is finished basically it says no changing subframes must use stock mounting points so that puts a big X on my s13 front and it says ethier stock subframe which wont work or tube frame, soooo with that said i'll have to make a tube frame for the stock subframe or mod the stock subframe to work and try and pass the inspection, also have some rules for the transmission tunnel but i should be ok, heres the rulebook

8.3.1 Basic Chassis Design
The vehicle chassis, frame and / or uni-body must remain unmodified between
the vertical planes created by the original forward most and rearwardmost suspension mounting points unless otherwise specified in these rules.Uni-body or chassis may be seam welded.


8.3.3 Modifications of the stock, OEM firewall and transmission tunnel are allowed as follows:
Version 2.2 April 25th 2012
DRIFT MANIA CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2012 Rules and Regulations
 Dimension A: Tunnel Width May be no wider than 18 Inches
 Dimension B: Minimum dimension of 10 inches between the bottom of
the windshield and the top of the transmission tunnel.
 Dimension C: Modifications of the driveshaft tunnels behind the transmission tunnel taper vertical plane should not exceed an overall
width of 10 inches.
 Dimension D: Modifications to driveshaft tunnels behind the
transmission tunnel taper vertical plane should not exceed an overall
width of 10 inches.
 Taper Length: (from the firewall to the end of the transmission tunnel
into the beginning of the driveshaft hump) may be no longer than 36
inches.
 No part of the engine casing may cross the vertical plane of the original
firewall into the transmission tunnel.
 No other modifications may be made to the vehicle chassis, frame, or
uni-body unless otherwise specified in these rules.
 Any holes in the firewall must be of the minimum size for the passage
of controls and wires, and must be completely sealed to prevent the passage of fluids or flames from the engine compartment to the cockpit.

8.3.4 Front cross member and/or front or rear sub-frame
The cross-members and the sub-frame front and back may be of origin or tubular fabrication. The cross members must be located at the exact same position as the one of origin of the car and must not be displaced on the frame and cannot be cut and the “chassis” cannot be modified as stated in point 8.3.1. The arm suspension anchor points on the origin part or tubular fabrication may be re-located from its original position.

my friend kristian's evo rwd front subframe



so tube frame front like nilus


my imagination of what it could look like once done



anyways lemme know what you think and support and if anybody got some tips and stuff lemme know and I will be making a video series vlog style build on the car for sure

any advice is greatly appreciated

Looks like quite a build u got going there. good luck and keep us updated

[poirier4]

thanks bro i certainly will keep you guys updated and heres a bonus my web vlog build documentary thing has started episode one the more views i get the more youtube money i make = more money for drift evo so watch and enjoy thanks guys

Shawn

[poirier4]

hey guys little updates

Part 2 is now up

basically i took the engine out of the colt and take a look at what i'll need to do for the evo to get the transmission tunnel working also talk about chopping colt rear quarter panels to fix the evo incase of rear ending or wall tapping etc lol


oh btw remember how i said i was going to fit these in my first video??



and that i needed to modify the trailing arm and fit some nissan hub and bearings because i'll be running r200 rear diff :P well my mind just exploded while i was at the gym and after looking at a video of some new rear knuckles that Fredric Aasbø was talking about on his supra well I got an nice idea and will have to send an e-mail to my buddy Pete whose a suspension guru , and show him what i need and what I'd like him to do for me hopefully he can find the time to autocad the parts and test them oh his suspension program to see how they would work etc anyways more updates on that later

Fredric Aasbø video that inspired my new setup I want to build


i'll be getting these front knuckles and i'll be using a s13 steering rack to go with it , so hopefully more angle and will handle better when lowered, well you'll see once I get updates on that :P


for now check out my drift fest video

[Nilus]

Wish you luck with that build! And I hope it does not turn into yet another unfinished project, like mine :/
Feel free to ask some info about swapping r200 to the rear... maybe I can help.

[poirier4]

thanks man, i already have a couple of plans for the r200 in the rear but ya for sure!!, also i hope my build motivated you to get yours done

[Nilus]

thanks man, i already have a couple of plans for the r200 in the rear but ya for sure!!, also i hope my build motivated you to get yours done

[poirier4]

my major ??? right now is what diff case / axles I should get and what lsd should I put inside,

I can get some 240sx parts cheap as my friend found these 4 babies in the scrap yard so I'm asking if i should get the rear diff axles and driveshaft





so somebody tell me if i should get the driveshaft, axles and diff

axles and diff is easy to understand why, but driveshaft would be to measure and cut to proper length and send to the driveshaft shop to get one custom made that is the proper length but does a ka24 driveshaft fit in a sr20 transmission???

so if i get a diff from the scrap 240 how do i know it's a r200 cuz thats what I want other wise i'll go get one from a 300zx n/a or skyline at my local jdm shops and then choose the right lsd to go in eventually, and if they are all r200s i'll get all 4 lol for spare you know

me and a hot nos girl at dmcc round 4 last saturday son!


started with eggs benedict and coffee


and heres us doing the 3hour drive to go

brought a spare steering wheel lol scaring the shit outta people lol my little bro btw

and parked at the show & shine with my friend's gc wagon spitfire edition :P



and a small video


lol can't wait saturday Open Slide!!! for you local people of you guys wanting to make a nice weekend come on down!!! Message me if you wanna meet we can talk and watch drift


ok well talk to you guys later also if you got suggestions for parts to put on etc lemme know as i'm kinda in a writer's parts blockage lol,

Part 3 of build

[poirier4]

today i brought in the evo going to be stripping her soon



colt door on :P


more soon

Shawn

[Nilus]

What rear arms\knukles are you planning to run? Stock or something else?
Stock s180\s200 axles will be too short for a stock evo suspension... I have used two *right* axle from nissan gloria turbo, they are much longer than sky or silvia`s

[poirier4]

good to know, but i was going to cut and weld the axles to proper length and send them off to get them the right length by either the driveshaft shop or weir performance

[poirier4]

Well I'm looking to buy a house here to one year and I found a couple of cheap nice ones, so if i buy a house I'll just take out an extra 10000-15000$ and complete the car a whole lot faster than just sourcing parts slowly but if not it will be done, i'm not letting this go, working slowly and should be pretty wild once done

for now here the video of the open slide from last saturday :P, was a wild event 10000$ winner American Mike Pollard in his 240sx s13 hb flipup, he was on fire all day, I actually talked with him on facebook a couple of days before and told me to bring real grippy tires cuz the track was concreate and not asphalt :P, looked to pay off he was the fastest all day :P



some photos i took with instagram




some professional photos lol i'm the dude filming at the top hahaha


again me on top with the black t-shirt lol, not even filming but reflecting, this is what i'll be doing next year hopefully


and whats a drift event with me not taking pictures with some babes :P no nos chicks sooo hype energy girls? lol Sporting the new haircut!!!!! lol
