    OK change of plans... thanks to OPTION1 im getting a JDM shell with a sunroof already stripped bare so a lot of parts will be needed.

    the plan is to turn it into this...



    So far the plans are (keep in mind this wont be street registered)...

    Engine: 4AGZE
    Oil Cooler with remote filter
    FMIC
    2.25 or 2.5 inch straight pipe from front to back
    Pulley Kit
    Internal Work
    Cams
    Fuel pump
    Injectors
    ECU

    Suspension:
    Tociko custom coilover setup front with Cusco Camber plates
    Tociko rear adjustable dampers
    Custom springs
    Sway bars
    Strut bars

    Driveline:
    T series rear end (drum to drum for now... might upgrade to s13 bits further down the track)
    Kaaz 2way LSD
    Lightened flywheel
    HD Clutch

    Body:
    Completely gutted
    1 fixed back and 1 recliner
    Full race style cage
    Custom gauge cluster (no dash)

    Exterior:
    Stock at first (custom kit later on with guards front and rear, custom bonnet and hatch as well as front and rear custom bars)
    15 or 16inch Work EWING rims

    Im estimating about 18months before it is fully ready to the way i want it...
    Only thing i will do until i have all the other parts is the suspension... then i will start hitting the prac days and building it up from there.

    Hoping to have the LSD and suspension in by about august...

    So yeah... finally starting to happen and i cant friggin wait... ever since i got the taste for it in december at banzai its all i can think about

    will get the suspension in about 3 months if the soarer sells by then (hopefully earlier), rear end and LSD in august.

    should be enough to get it on the track.

    thats exactly how i got pulled in, a mate in his sprinter showed me the art of drift, and i became an addict instantly.

    your plans sound mad! should be a neat project to watch as time passes.

    just a personal thing, i think it would look good (and different) if it were painted yellow and black panda, black bottom half. then put your graphics over it. its just an opinion.

    i might mess around in paint and see what i come up with.

    lol im getting the engine this weekend.
    worked 4AGZE with 120kw at the wheels... should be good in a 900kg car

    when the proper paint goes on, those doors will be fibreglass as will the hatch and coated in a special black chrome that monkey has been telling me about... but thats a while away
