My AE86 build for Prodrift 08 - Drifting forum

Conor-Vtec86 · 29-01-2008, 18:03

Well some of you know im in the middle of doing a complete overhaul on the cam for the prodrift 08 season,the car last year was really good and ran well but its time to get serious now as i would love to some day get a pro license(long way away yet).So the build starts here,i will update the thread as much as possible and add as many pics as i can.
The car currently sits in Darren Mcnamara's(MCN-Sport) where it is getting the chassis prep done,a new full cage is being fabricated and put into her,she will then be seam welded and sent for sandblasting.Also being done while there is a new bodykit,new carbon bonnet,uprated rear axle,new paint job inside and out.Cant thank Darren and the lads enough,cheers dude

she is then comming back to Roco-performance were the new heart will go in and a lot of other bits going into her.
Anyway enough talk for now lets start with a few pics of how the car looked come the end of my first year drifting and some new pics of the car stripped and new cage being made.
hope you guys like.Roll on prodrift 08!!!
