Driver
should I do it? So I've been away from SFL for a while and drifting it seems like even longer. Real quick on why, money of course(no job at the time, and a roommate who took advantage of me being a good friend), I had to trade my rb20 car for a 2003 miata that had been totaled, but had lots of goodies: supertech built motor, 6 speed, torsen, and some other cool things, plus some cash to pay bills. FF, not front engine fwd, fastforward I have a 99 miata 109K miles, vmaxx coilovers and a hardtop I traded the 6 speed for.
The one on the left is the now totaled one I took in on trade and the one on the right is the one I just bought while it looked like this.
I traded the caged hatch I had, for a drift buddy in Melbourne to fix the miata damage. She comes home tomorrow and I'm not quite sure what to do with her. First thing is take some pictures with these 15x8 002's I have and see whether I want her to wear those or some brand new 16x8 513's a buddy has and will trade me wheels. Beyond that do I really turn this car into a daily driver and drifter? I have an 88 TII as well, and this guy who welds, that drives FC's is willing to work me a deal, TII shell for cage, I buy the materials and I plan to offer more than a helping hand in the fab work.
Other things I have left that haven't been parted out from the 03 miata:
Built bottom 1.8 Block .20 over Forged Rods and Pistons
Act Clutch, billet oil crank gear, arp head studs, all acc.
Custom tubular bottom mount t2 turbo manifold
FMIC w/ HKS SSQV
AEM FI/C tuned for 2003 vvt s14 t28 550cc injectors
Random interior bits
Black Canvas Top
2003 Front and Rear Subframes Complete
Sadly the 2003 front fascia stuff has been sold, as well as the torsen. Now I'm a turbo and injectors away from boosting the 1.8 that is in the car and I have the built bottom end on stand by, but have a guy that wants to buy it for $1500.
Basically its drift now and have a pretty nice daily driver with quite a few spare parts for, or sell it all and start an LSx something.
My current other vehicles:
2001 Dodge Ram (Daily) w/ a whopping 12 mpg
1995 Ford f-350 ranch machine. A real tow horse.
1988 Rx7 TII no motor
Man oh man I really want to build a v8 car, but I'm sick of driving my dodge everyday, plan to put it up for sale, but who knows how long that will take. Its worth more to me than what the market has to say.
