the skyrine drift beater

[ercchry]

so, this season i am driving a skyline and it is in pretty rough shape, but whatever it still runs and drives

so this is just copy n paste so what you read at the top may have changed some a long the way

ok here we go... first up, the list

-series 2 rb25det
-Apexi Exhaust
-KYB Coilover Suspension
-HICAS Eliminator Kit
-Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms
-Greddy Front Mount Intercooler
-Greddy Intercooler Piping

-Greddy Oil Catch Can- sitting in the garage
-Momo Steering Wheel
-Megan quick release.
-Drift Knob
-Momo Pedals
-Bride Driver's Seat
-GT-R Passenger Seat
-Mine's Shift Knob
-safety 21 cage
-one off ebrake handle

wheels

rear- (this is what i have been told) 17x9.5 ~+28 panosports with 215/45s
from- 17x9 unknown with a 7mm spacer, heavy and no idea on brand with 215/45s

things i have done since i have got it

-went for a car wash... it lasted about 40min and had interesting results (see pics)
-oil change (car had a old ass filter still from japan on it)
-spark plugs (old ones were original from japan too, gaps were way off as well)
- replaced coil pack boot and ghetto fixed one of the packs
-got a nice level ride height all around (pass front was over 2cm lower then drivers) now the wheels are tucking, need to adjust rear ruca's to get the wheels flush again
-stripped carpet (shit was wet underneath and stank)
-restored roll cage to factory spec +sweet green color (bars were welded in that were too small and had garbage welds)
-banged out sound deadening and painted the metal under it up
- saw the deadline for these dmcc pics and thought oh shit i should make this car one color... so this is just a temp thing till a kit is ordered, then real prep work and paint will come

pics to follow...
