Devil Pig Drift / Track car S14 Ls1v8

jason his car is running man, no time to post kak when you could be driving this monster!!!!

Hola hola
Whats up guys.

OK i appologise for not being online as often as before.
Jeesh this drifting stuff is time consuming jong!

So last event last year Supadrift Durban. I had another moment and introduction to the concrete wall. RIght rear again. This time a little harder. This time it crushed in onto my fuel cell which ruptured the fuel tank. Lucky no crispy bacon!

So it really made me rethink about alot of stuff. So i decided to rebuild the car. Literally.
So over december instead of eating and having a jolly time. i rebuilt it

And after testing last week. I finally am happy with the balance and the car is now quicker than before. Running cooler. Safer. And allows me to be more agressive with switches.

This is what i did.

Tubed the back end and moved fuel cell inside the car on the back seat. Nestled nicely inside the roll cage.

Running a rear mount radiator set up for better weight distribution. The increased water volume also helps in running cooler.

Tubed the front end. no radiator means nice cold air into engine. Lots of space and less weight upfornt. Also when i have a front end oopsie. Less stuff to be damged and keep me drifting.

This is a nifty little addition. Electronic steering. By using this i have eliminated power steering pump. Oil Lines and oil coolers. Took me a while to figure it out. but in the end. Im super excited about the feel of this.

No bud, based on the info you gave me.
I machined some aluminium spacers to fit ontop of the shock, its bolted to the shock. it raised the car by 40mm.
Im testing the weekend and super excited to feel if i can feel any change.
Becouse i raised the rear. I also was able to raise the front. Which means my tie rods are now LEVEL.
The increased stroke length although minimul should give me a slight bit more lock.

Nice ... the straighter you get your front rods ( at rest point ) the better for steering preciseness / more consistant feel ... i think you will get alot more 'finer' control now.

Bump to the top :200sx_2guns: know big changes have been made 😀 do share :200sx_angel:
