Sammysideways go's to KDrift - Drifting forum

suprmek1 · 31-08-2008, 21:05

Well I got left to get over excited with the hack saw and a lump hammer oops hope he's not mad

.

Now befor some of you go of on one at him

its going to be fricking mental this car the chasis is really good and very strong. I'm guesing ive removed about 100kg but will weigh it all later on, and with the cage in it will be even stiffer and lighter than std but that will be confirmed laater in the build

damm alex i forgot to tell you...ive changed my mind!!

i know alot of you will flame me, but i dont care

its going to be something different and cool. which i believe drifting to be all about

or the car will be like marmite

car is in capable hands and i have no doubts that alex/ k drift are going to build me something mentalist

Hey my good/positive reply was removed! I was on Samuals side!

docwra · 03-09-2008, 16:04

If you dont want coments then why put it up - I thought a lot of what was deleted was quite reasonable actually .........

Anyway, as said on other thread, good luck, you are brave but if you pull it off it will be the bollocks

Fucks sake, READ the 3rd post. I never said i dont want feedback good or bad. I just dont want petty bickering and random crap that was on the other thread.

cheers though bud. im sure it be awesome

I deleted the lot as I couldn't be bothered with contaminating my brain anymore by reading through that crap again to filter out the good comments..

Gimmie that bonnet vent

Brunosr13 · 03-09-2008, 16:21

Thanks Phil, all the best sammy, kkep this project going

owent · 03-09-2008, 16:21

good luck with the build, if you ask me, great idea. hope it works out how you want cos it'll be the dogs danglies when its finished

Daddy_D · 03-09-2008, 16:23

I have one question about the wheel well if that's what you call it. Where the spare tyre sits, are you going to cut that part out and flatten it? I take it you want to look like a proper pickup that will be drifting. I also think it will be cool if it's all covered in aluminium plate. No need to respray every time something sharp scratches it.
Also regarding the place where the spare tyre sits, some people seems to cut it out on normal drift cars and I was wondering why as the extra space can be used for another tyre or battery. Any reason?

I'm not entirely convinced by this project but good luck with it.

I was watching some lambo/ferrari/aston racing yesterday, they all had proper flat undersides. I reckon that would be an awesome idea for this build.

To create a 'ground (a)effect'?

aaronblue · 03-09-2008, 19:30

Dan Goodyer · 03-09-2008, 21:10

yeah!!! pickup cabrio FTW!!!!!

oh and what was said was a lot of comments about how bad an idea it is.

oddly sammy always seems to get a lot of those comments. its either because he has a lot of bad ideas or people are jealous of his Adonis like stature and bearing

G-Man · 03-09-2008, 21:29

nah, its cos he's a kaaaaaant....
seriously though sambo, like i said cant wait to see it done...gonna rock harder than a weeble on crack.

Thank you.

Well ill leave the final desicions down to alex at the end of the day as he is doing the work but im not to fussed about the floor tbh. The more that gets chopped the more it may flex. Chequered plate was a thought I had of using aswell just because it looks cool

Reason spare wheel well gets chopped out normally is due to save weight. My battery is getting re-located inside the car, probally passenger footwell.
