new here with a fresh build

[The_caveman]

Hello everyone I'm new on zilvia. However i have owned s-chassis going on 6 years now and am just now joining so heres my current daily driver build thread my s13 hatch

let me know what yall think,and please excuse the length of the first post. I am using all my other updates off of nicoclub so i don't have to type a bunch so here it goes

Three weeks ago i wrecked my 90' hatch...I had ignored my brakes for months in my rush to get everything together to build it into a drift car. They finnaly failed on me and i ended up rear ending a mercedes.

The aftermath

The before (on stock wheels,i had roasted both sets of 17s and ended up selling them to a friend to pay a speeding ticket)

So I was depressed for a Day, Posted a wtb for a shell on Traction Optional that night. The next day someone came through. A 93 hatch,made in the same year and month as my first car. It was on like donkey kong then. Took my paycheck that friday bought it, picked it up that sunday and started in on it. It has some rust here and there, all in body panels, One dent in the rear qp no headlights,other than that its all good. It has rust free framerails, straight frame never been seriously wrecked,uncracked glass all the way around,and a clean title.

Well enough talking on to some pics of what ive done so far.

Coilovers, K-sport rally spec....not arguing i got them for 110$ unblown and near brandnew

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/263288_265647610115628_100000111722769_1194432_963 98_n.jpg

rucas all cleaned up. I also have tension rods,and traction rods going on the car i don't have pics of

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/262498_265647790115610_100000111722769_1194433_694 1213_n.jpg

Coilovers on...still need to adjust camber on the passenger side and how high they are on both sides. Going for a one finger gap in front none in rear,-3 on the camber in front and think -1 in the rear. Also replacing the passenger door with a good one today.

For being just some 16' enkies that i don't like these wheels fit really flush with the fender. not too shabby considering i paid 400$ for the shell and the guy trailered it a half hour down the road for free

I spent around an hour and half stripping old tape wraping it up in new tape..took a break to go get some more tape and a drink somewhere in the middle (overlooked how much wiring there was to my original 1 roll ended up using 4) and some conduit covering and it came out looking something like this

What the fucking fail. Rushing to build a drift car yet NEGLECT your brakes? GTFO off my internets. I think theres a spot for you with the Honda owners (or the Chevy Cavalier ricers).

[SLiDe_WaYz]

Bro you know your drift car was a missle with a stock KA right?

[tqstarburst]
