Considering I'm in the process going to school, getting a new job and have discovered I'd rather be a normal car enthusiast for now and get back on my feet financially, I'm going to be selling my competition drift car.

The car has been consistently qualifying 6th - 9th all season long with no problems, and has pretty much exclusively gotten knocked out of the competitions by the cars that end up getting 1st or 2nd after very close battles that ultimately are usually lost by my own driver error considering this is my 2nd season tandeming. The motor / drive train is solid, suspension is solid, it just needs bodywork. If you'd like links to any build threads, let me know. There are plenty. The one I kept up with the most was my thread on Driftworks (http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-car-projects-builds/192933-z33-street-car-gone-drift-car-pic-overload.html).

POSITIVES: This car is VERY competitive even as N/A, and everybody that has ever driven it absolutely loves it. Will Parsons loved how it drove, same with Aaron Losey. Slap some turbos on it and you'll be good for whatever you want to do with it. Suspension is good to go, motor is good to go, you could literally buy it and immediately go compete in it. I got all new gaskets above the head gaskets in the off season, checked everything and the motor is still looking great. I change the oil after every event, it never overheats, it's seriously a super reliable car. All last year I competed and daily drove it, apart from the whole no air conditioning thing it was perfect. Still have the carpets to throw back in if you were wanting to daily it or whatever, and I still have the A/C bracket, condenser, and two of the lines for it. While the exterior is rough, everything underneath and the frame is still completely straight.

NEGATIVES: It's a competitive drift car. It's loud, it gets hot inside without A/C and carpets. Passenger door speaker is blown, driver side one is still working but not super well. Biggest negative, the car needs quite a bit of exterior work. There are dents in both rear quarter panels from other cars' tires hitting them, the rear bumper needs to be repainted, front bumper needs to be repainted and needs some fiber glass work as of the last event. The bodywork is the biggest downfall of the car. Some of the dents could be repaired with a good ole hammer.

Hoping to get $12,000 or best offer, also open to trades. Trade offers I'll consider: R33, JZX, S14's, S15's, M3's, Thangs with RB's / JZ's, anything else cool. Not interested in stock or KA cars with no paint and emusa coilovers. Want something RWD, planning on building a cool street car. I'd prefer an R33 because if it sells that's what I'll be getting anyway, but shoot me an offer. I'm always open to offers and the worst I can say is no.

The car is in this quite a bit. You can see how much of a smoke machine it can be at around the 1:10 / 1:20 marks.

A video from the last round of competition when our makeshift team "Team Shitshow" won the team competition.

First few clips speak for themselves. The car is awesome. Smoke show @ 1:29.

Obviously this shows the car getting hit, but it also shows how super reliable this car is. The frame is 100% fine and everything that got broken (Which was just the toe arm) was replaced the week following the event.

The car is in this a LOT for the first 2ish minutes or whatever. This was at a demo in Dallas.

Another demo from the beginning of this year. Skip to ~1:20ish, then 3:15ish.

This is a super solid car for anybody that wants a competition ready, competitive drift car. I've kept up with 500whp sc300's, 400hp S14's easily, and it can no sweat hang with HR 350z's. Not only is the car super reliable but it's cheap to run, it can make some great smoke without burning through a million tires in 5 minutes, then you can drive it home.

If no one buys it, it'll be sitting in my garage. If I can scrounge up enough cash it'll be competing at our ProAm right before FD Texas in September, but after that it'll just be sitting in the garage waiting to be purchased or I'll just keep it and do body work and other junk. Don't miss out on picking up a great car, the only reason I'm getting rid of it is because although the whole competitive drifting thing was fun, in reality I don't have the funds to maintain full competitive and demo seasons and would rather get a new car to turn into an awesome RWD street car to enjoy on the weekends and do other regular car enthusiast stuff.

~120K on the chassis although all of my solid SPL bushings and arms have been on since around 110k, ~77K on the motor. Replaced the motor at around 108K miles with a 59K mile motor, daily drove it to events and back all of last year so ended up putting approximately 17K miles on it last year. Motor was refreshed at the beginning of the season and I've only driven it to work and back (around 20 miles round trip) a handful of times and at events, so barely any miles have gone through it since the refresh.

Also, whoever buys it if you want to throw in an extra $700 I'll get you a brand new Exedy Stage 1 full clutch kit for you to put in it. Then you'll really be solid, my current Exedy Stage 1 has lasted me one season of daily driving and competing a full season as well as a full second season with well over 10 events thus far since February and is still going strong.

just coming on here to say nobody should buy this car because its way too much fun tandeming with Matt and i don't want him to quit! that is all. :D

deedilus
08-06-2013, 03:33 PM
Hahaha, thanks Fielding. I'm not quitting for good! Once I get another car or whatever I'll hit up events when I have the cash to, I'm just not going to be competing anymore. We'll still get to drive!

You gonna take it to round 5/lsb? Or do you think you'll get rid of it before then? You gotta finish out the season and bang dewayne's doors a few times!

I'd really like to considering I've been looking forward to the FD Texas event all year, but in reality I honestly don't think I can afford it unless I make a ton of money at CCM this weekend. I've been overdrafted since Monday and still need to pay my truck payment, school, rent, truck payment for next month, etc.. So I honestly don't think I'll be going to either. :'(

Typical Zilvia fashion the thread is already off topic, so back on topic someone should buy this or something.

This is incorrect. The car does not have a rod knock or a broken transmission and is indeed still for sale. Aaron just doesn't want me to sell it because he wants me to compete in the FD ProAm in September here in Texas. All PM's replied.

@Driftage, the fronts are WedsSports SA60-M, 18x10 +20. Rears are Cosmis Racing MRII, 18x9.5 +15.

LOL @ Matt. Got to ride in this car at Dallas Texas Motor Speedway. Definitely a very competitive and balanced car, ready to go drifting, solid as hell. Race car to the max. $12K is a steal for this.

Tempting offer...

Alright, so I'm not agreeing to meet up with anyone unless they can A) Prove that they're even going to SHOW UP or B) prove that they can actually afford / have the resources to go through with a trade + cash or trade. Done with tire kickers, serious buyers only.

Open to all offers of cash or RWD street cars with A/C and full interior + cash (or straight trade if the car is awesome). Please shoot me some more.
