[datboibrad]

front tubs must be the new standard for "drift cars".

how about some details on setup? motor specs maybe? cage look extensive, especially those door bars..

either way work looks good.

[240sxfamily]

how come my build thread got locked? LOL

and angelo, im still down to come do all that prep work if you want. or you can bring it to my heated garage. LOL

its nick merrone from 240sxfamily.com

[AngeloAJC]

the tubs just hellp to put a bigger wheel without any rub

[kalypso123]

I like the way it looks with the tubes,

but that cage is an armory.
its like you built it - with plans of crashing. :cool:

[haggard240]

that looks like it would be work getting in and out of it.. lol

[AngeloAJC]

it also serves as an arm rest hahaha

[roboticnissan]

Yah man those bars are like elephant weiners.

[Slammed Assassin]

[DataXUnknown]

Your 21? How in the hell can you afford something like this? It's a dream for me to build a full on drift car, I hope to see some more progess! I wonder whats going to be powering this drift beast.

[datboibrad]

[AngeloAJC]

[AngeloAJC]

[AngeloAJC]

used parts on a d1 spec car?


if you help fund the car i would be more then happpy to buy allll new parts hahaa

[Flaco S14]

I was looking at the cage and i was reading through the rule book cuz im getting my car ready for the same thing, but i think the rule book says you need x door bars.

[S13 Charlie]

The ladder door bars will be just as strong, probably stronger. That's NASCAR style, haha. That cage must be so heavy though! It's ready for Mad Max!

Good luck on the build, must be fun.

[AngeloAJC]
