My build to get ready for curacao drift event!!!!! lots of pics

[finkel]

So after I got contacted to see if I would be interested in going to curacao for a drift event. I pulled the blown KA out and got started on bulding the motor and doing all the misc stuff i need/wanted to do to the car to get everything ready for the event. Its been a ruff few weeks trying to get everything ready and good to go I literally got the car running on Thursday and tuned it on Saturday. Sunday got the car aligned did little stuff here and there and monday loaded it up in the container. Pretty much 4 drivers here from florida got invited to take our cars to compete against the drivers over in curacao and aruba.

To start
Finally bought some cp pistons
