I need some advice, The whole project has been about cheap stuf except the uras type4 kit and rotawheels. I really like driftworks and want to support them but what do you think is better, buy more cheapstuff or buy less items but with more quality like the driftworks brand?

The frontsubframe is next to be fixed I need some new bushes for the arb, steeringrackbush and tensionrod etc, regarding the dw tensionrod cost £120 and if I buy some more cheapish tensionrods I can get them for ~£75 delivred and then I can use the other money to fix the bushes and maybe add some spacers, if I go DWtensionrod I wont have the money to the frontsubframe really good.

I always try to get alot of upgradeds but for a lower price.
1) homemade intercoolerpipes and own brackets and a cheap egay intercooler instead of a real bolt on

2) Ksportcoilovers from a sponsor ~£400 instead I wanted tein or DWcoilovers

3) Adjustablerear arms instead I wanted DW arms or similar topbrand

You see I really dont like to skimp on the quality but I always do is it wrong?

Regards Andre

edit: but then again I have some quality parts to
Driftworks seatframe
Driftworks Harness
Driftworks Steeringdisc
Driftworks alu subframbushes
Apexi Airfilter
Sparco monza steeringwheel from DW
tein tierods and ends

edit2: This is the alternative

Pictures of the painted car. I like the look just need to put on some spacers and lower it some more.

retrodan · 16-01-2008, 18:03

sweet, extra wheel width and a litle lower more on the back and that sir is one minttttttttttt skid car!!!

Quail · 16-01-2008, 18:09

Nice looking car!! Get those spacers on, or some wider wheels

shirunai · 16-01-2008, 19:27

Its rota torque 8x17" I wish I had money for the 9" but maybe on the late season, but I will focus on the money on seattime and safety this year.

edit: 2x 8"17" rota torquewheels is £330 with freight.

MrTwilight · 16-01-2008, 20:15

PeterT · 16-01-2008, 21:33

looks sweet as a nut, love the front end!

shirunai · 17-01-2008, 18:34

ohh forgot this picture the rota torque 8" I really wish I bought 9" on the back and have 8" in the front since Ive had clearing issues on the 8" already.

shirunai · 25-01-2008, 15:59

OK hello I sold the Rota torque 17"x8" rota they have been driven aprox ~1500km
Now I will get new wheels I guess it will be torque 17"x9" or should I go boostdrift or what?

As always I was going the cheap way and not the smart way and compromise the quality so I went for cheap ebay tensionrods even though I wanted driftworks

Anyway the bearings seem to be good quality and the structure seems good aswell

cookiemonster · 25-01-2008, 16:17
