budget/barder build. Drift missile for under a $1000

[bcyamaha10]

So I traded my s14 rb25 swap for a 350z last year and sold that, and got the 240 itch again. Only problem is I have literally no money. (paycheck to paycheck:-/) How ever I had a few old parts laying around in the shop still from my last build. (Inter cooler, steering hub, parts KA, and a few transmissions)

A guy at college has a turbo WRX and has wanted to front mount an inter cooler, so for 50 bucks in gas I drove to his house and traded my extra inter cooler for his 1997 XR400 enduro.

After lots of craigslist surfing I find a decent looking 91 s13 a few states away. No details on what motor it has, all the add says is for parts, overheating, cash or trade for a dirt bike. Automatic sadly, but who cares for free! So yesterday I drove 17 hours and traded the dirtbike for the car. Has some sub frame rust but everything else is okay, nothing that I can't weld and fix.

Icing on the cake is after some more craigslisting, I found a manual trans with flywheel and clutch for $100 bucks on the way home and snagged that too.

On here I found a turbo manifold I traded my steering hub for that fits the KA24DE this little baby has.

I'll post pictures tonight when I get the car over to my shop and get it washed up. Only have 400 in gas/transmission so far and I am a turbo, intercooler, and some welding away from a cheap missile success story!

I'll be posting some more stuff in the sales forums I am trying to trade (FZR600 parts, xbox bundle, ect.) in hopes of scoring my turbo+downpipe, and inter cooler. So wish me luck!!

Congrats! but move this to the Build section...

[bcyamaha10]

sorry! I am new to Zilvia, how do I move it to the build section?

[EvilRB]

THe mods usually do it so ask one of them to do it, if not when you get your pic just start a new thread there.
Again Welcome and congrats!

This doesn't belong in the build section, there needs to be some sort of build going on to constitute that.

There will be a build. I am fabing my own down pipe, turbo charging the KA, modifying my chassis and suspension, and when summer comes dropping in a RB26.

"Build" on this forum is loosely used. I'm sure you're modifying your car which is fine. The problem is that a lot of members here are doing the same. If one person is allowed to have a build thread like this, we would all have our own threads which clutters the build section.

On this forum, the only builds that are allowed in the build section are the ones that are documenting/sharing a finished product or consistently posting their near finished product. Simply stating your story, without pictures, or actual progress will get your thread locked in this section and the build section. Until then, we have picture threads that you can post in.
