    Not really a drift car as I have no intention of skidding it, but I thought I'd share here seeing as this is where I found it for sale.


    Bought it with a td04 turbo conversion, bucket seats, bigger brakes and not much more.

    Parked up next to my old zero fucks given nb, which took a beasting all summer :)

    Once I got it home it had a new hardtop, softop was stripped out, Nb Torsen diff, Miester R coilovers and new Rota Grids wrapped in Nankan NS-2R tyres.

    Unremarkable engine bay

    More pictures from July/ August, probably not in chronological order

    Had these not very stylish style bars in for a little while.

    If you change cars as often as I do, buying your own arch rolling tool is a must.

    Interior was a bit shabby, so started making it a little cleaner

    Decided the rear needs more "scene"

    I have neglected to update this, not that anyone cares.
    Sills got temp treatment. Already starting to bubble so they'll be redone soon.

    Full alignment (and new track rod) after an argument with a kerb

    Chopped up a bonnet for more aggressive look

    Started with my new colour scheme on the interior, hopefully this will be repeated in the engine bay later down the line

    Not pictured, new downpipe. All new intercooler pipework to make room for my alu rad. And a roll bar, harness bar and wipe arches still waiting to go on.
