Sup guys !
My name is Paul and i'm from Quebec. I'm a french so don't worry if sometimes I make some little mistakes. I've been on zilvia for a while, watching build and stuff and i think is time to show you my Financial Mistake that started from a street build to a Formula Drift spec car.
The build started in 2013 so sorry for the bad picture quality because I need to find the old picture on my cell phone.
All my picture is on my Instagram : @pvfracing96
My life pretty much changed when I've bought my first S-Chassis (1996 240sx) in 2013 from a buddy and the car was in excellent shape.
How she was sitting when I bought it

We did a little maintenance on the car and then the parts were starting to knock at the doors.

At the end of the summer we said "Hey, why we don't go to a Drift Day instead of getting the police in our ass all the time". So we borrow an enclosed trailer to a friend, take a shitload of tire and hit the road !

To make a short story of the Drift Day, we were a Montmagny Race Track and the car didn't have enough power to take the banking easily until I have to give him a little push by taking the turn in 3rd gear full throttle and bashing the clutch pedal... BUT! I was able to drift and have fun like a kid in a McDonald parc for around 1 hour before the clutch had enough :facepalm:
This is the only picture i have from the DriftDay...

The autumn is here and I began to go full retard by taking a clean ass 240sx and build a race car. :picardfp:
