SR22 Kouki Budget Drift Build.

[tayloray]

Okay, so some of you may have seen my cars for sale, etc. But i decided to make a build thread. so here goes.

Keep in mind i'm 19 years old, work part time and go to school full time. I don't have any help money wise building this, so this is a budget build, but i'm trying to do the best i can.

so for a little background, i bought this 95 zenki, with an rb25, way to big of journal bearing turbo, and coilovers.

Changed the turbo, fixed some of the wiring, bought a bride seat, and sparco/nrg wheel setup, did angle mods, tie rods, etc.

decided to put a used cage in (terrible idea but i wanted to make the tandem competition at cfrc)

put over fenders on it.

and this is how the car stayed. I did quite a few events with the car this way, but every single event i had some sort of major problem and barley got to drive. So i just got fed up and decided to re-do it all.

I started by pulling the rb25 out. They're cool motors, but just not my thing anymore. Too much headache. I got rid of that, sold the old coilovers, scrapped the zenki front, cut the ghettoly done in one night cage out, and here we are.
