Okay, so some of you may have seen my cars for sale, etc. But i decided to make a build thread. so here goes. I've had quite a few cars, and i have been drifting for awhile. So for a little history first.
started in this Taylor @ CFRC in his Porsche 951 1-22-10 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BMoX04qpa0)
http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/179340_171740079537300_2246884_n.jpg
pretty much completely stock.
Ended up with this, swapped a rebuilt rb20 in it.

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/247227_530742992654_4058945_n.jpg
Got pit maneuvered by a girl who was texting on I-4, and they totalled it, and i finished it off a couple of events later and parted it out.
I bout this,

Went through a few more cars after i sold that one, but nothing seemed to work well as drift car, and i just kept trading them off.
So i'll start with a the pre-build up before i decided to tear the car back apart.
I bought this 95 zenki about a year ago, with an rb25, way to big of journal bearing turbo, and coilovers.
How it sat when I got it.

Attempted to do a drift even with the car like that, And even entering at 60+ i couldn't get the turbo to stay spoiled.

So Before doing another event, i ordered an ebay CX racing Gt30r BB, that didn't some in on time, so we decided to put a stock rb20 turbo on just to make the event, and hustled to gut the car, weld the cage in, and swap the whole turbo setup in one night.

http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a502/taylor_ray1/image13_zpsfd4751d0.jpeg
The cage was super ghetto, but it was the aftermath event at cfrc, and I really wanted to be able to tandem.
Ran no wastegate, and the event went alright after we fixed almost every single intercooler coupler. But the car was severely under-powered.

The turbo and extended tie-rods finally came in.

Put the tie rods on, and rack bushing right before an event, last minute as usual.

Put new wheel bearings in and rotors on while it was on the lift.

The car was so much more fun with the added angle.

Didn't do much to the car after that, just drove it, and had constant issues.
http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a502/taylor_ray1/image10_zps9d6f7a94.jpeg
Broke my wastegate off, 3 runs into a comp
http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a502/taylor_ray1/image12_zpsa1cfc535.jpeg
and this is how the car stayed.

Last event the car actually ran well: CFRC Summer Slide Fest 2012 8-car Tandem Hot Lap Session - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9uBczjiu-c)
Then had transmission problems the next event, and had to get it towed home, this is when i decided to re-do the entire car.

I usually let things be ghetto, and just didn't care, as long as it drifted, nothing mattered. I got really tired of it, but fixing someone elses work just wasn't very rewarding. So I usually just left it. This time. I'm doing everything right, to the best of my ability.
I started by pulling the rb25 out. They're cool motors, but just not my thing anymore. Too much headache. i needed to put a ton of money into it to get it to where it needed to be, and i was just done with it. So I got rid of that, sold the old coilovers, scrapped the zenki front, cut the ghettoly done in one night cage out.
