Daily Drift Project/ S13 Build

Some of you may know me as Driftboy07 on NICO and since I have to rep the Chi-town I figured I would give this place some traffic and post some of my build on here.

I plan on drifting this car, it will be my DD however until I can save up for my next build at which time this will be turned into a track car-but thats a while away. Check it out & leave some comments

whats goin on with the body? nice build so far

looks good. great job.

Ive never done body work, and since all the work has been done by ME so far lol I want to keep it that way so Ill make an attempt at bondo etc and using the Duplicolor Paint system to make her whiiite

With the aftermarket available, there really isn't much need for lots of bodywork.

Replace, replace, replace.

Well the fenders yes, bumpers yes, but as for the quarter panels no. Like I said I have no experience with body work so other than fenders/bumpers nothing will be replaced. The small dents etc are gonna be a pain but Im up for the challenge =D

overfenders + rivets = done

^^^^ yea

looks good so far.

Thanks for the support guys

If I get overfenders then I need bigger wheels & tires..which returns in more $$$.
Maybe eventually, Ive always liked the look of black overfenders on a white car.

Not flairs, full overfender.

Buy wheels, then invest in big spacers.

Nice engine build...

Im not a fan of spacers, makes me nervous that theyre gonna break on me. Well see still

Thanks for the compliments though.

nice build looks good.

If I were to do flares or overfenders I would go with flares, just did the research lookin at how the look...over fenders eh, Ill look at prices though

Nice build cant wait to see more.

Well the turbo elbow I have [ISIS from enjuku] didnt come with the skinny O2 sensor adapter so thats an issue, plus they didnt get me the bolts I need and the bolt holes in the elbow are HUGE in comparison to the threads in the turbo...Ken from Enjuku is helping me out.

To make more problems the LEDs I got for my cluster are a bit too big for the holes and I have to squeeze them in pretty tight, nothing can go together easily!! lol

To anyone who has an S15 turbo on an S13 SR, what turbine elbow do you have? My ISIS blows, the bolts holes are much bigger than the threads in the turbo

I LOL'ed IRL

have you taken your car to the just tires in morton grove? I saw a hatch that looked like yours by there one time..

ok so no one cares about engines and other stupid shit you cant see

wheres the cool shit, you need some fiberglass and 10.5's

Nope, but I havent gotten much sleep lately lol maybe Im missing something

Simon-no I have never driven the car before, towed it home from IN in Sept and its been sitting since.

LongGrain-I care No fiberglass for me, I thought about it and its kinda biting off more than I can chew at this point. Its my first build ever and Im already pushing the limits with my ability now, Im looking at wheels and I want to get 17x9 +15 which will be pretty wide w/o overfenders or anything. We'll see, I have a $1k budget for wheels/tires so Im kinda limited...for the first set
