    Also fitted a pan hard rod cause the basic design doesn't cut it for going sideways well! axle steer is not fun!

    +1 for updates? Love the old school ford blue colour, great use of the Quality Street and cable ties for an exhaust hanger :nod: you and retro ed with his Escort twinning would be an awesome sight.

    Right I'm back, sort of.
    At the beginning of the year i decided to pull the car apart and make it a proper drift car!
    I had been collecting parts for some time and decided to S-Body swap the running gear, Not a floor pan swap just graft the mounting points in and use the best bits of both cars.
    The car now had all the best goodies so ill do a quick spec and let the pics show the rest :).
    S14 subframe adjustable arms all poly bushed, shimmed 3.9 diff with s14 brakes and handbrake set up.
    HSD mono pro s13 coilovers all round.
    Front is DW LCAs and kinked tension rods on a R33 Xmember with R33 rack converted to manual steering.
    S14 modded knuckles, Tein steering arms and rod ends.
    S14 front brakes.
    R32 single piece propshaft.
    Still a straight cam SR20DET with a new headgasket and water pump.
    The car now drives incredibly and wears Rota GTR-D wheels (i think)
    Tell me what you guys think!
