Track & street S15 build. SR Power!
 

Hello!

This will be my build thread. I drive this car for 4+ years and the idea is to make ultimate balanced chassis to use it as a track car at time attacks and have durable suspension and engine for some serious drifting.

My budjets for the car are a bit low for building it fast, but anyway a lot of jobs were already done and will be done in future.

How all that started? I had already a nice S15 spec-r from japan and competed in local drift events. it was 2009.

Drifting was my passion... and as it usually happens...

I loved that car but it was crashed again (not even my fault) and sold.


My story of drifing couldn't stop like that. (also i kept the wheels)

so... i spotted a s15 for sale... it had some adds. and done...

I fit Recaro sr3 seats. My volk wheels and .... no lock, no e brake, no v-mount... this car had a lot of work to be done to be good at sideways.

After assembling the car and first drifting i realized that driving with stock lock is a bad idea.

So, i bought one more TIG (my ex was stolen) and spent one good night modifiing knuckles and front arms, moved steering rack. everything as usual.
Did the same with my ex silvia.

The front stock fender is not screwed to the car.
After Looking at this foto i decided to make a custom wide front fenders... from, sheet metal.

Why not??
