Then I was cheap so I chopped my springs.

Then I got a little more serious. My first drift day at Oreilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis.

Then I did some things im not so proud of . . .

Actually I was replacing a wheel bearing at my second drift day. Speedrome in Indianapolis. I drove the car to the track, 4 and a half hours, on a totally shot bearing. Picked up the parts that I ordered at the Indy Lexus, then threw them on the morning before that event. And by this time I had Stance coilovers and a welded diff.

So then I did my thing at that event. Midwest Drift Union was holding a compitition for non caged drivers in which the winner gets a free cage.

I ended up winning this comp so it was cage time for me!

Then I raced at Gateway International Raceway in St. Louis. Amazing event but no time to get the cage installed yet.

No heat. No air. No radio. Not much dash. And a lot less wiring.

so serious! you sc is going to live a harder life than most :)

I hope you are selling you black interior, those are hard to come by! Looking good, any engine work?

Nice! I like it. Good job on winning.

Really good start man, good luck!

Any idea what it weighs?

Wow, serious stuff. I like it!!!

nice set up. talk about bare necessities

Wow good job man, anything done to the engine?

You should at least put a boom-box in there...Otherwise very very cool :thumbup:

From a mint 68000 sc 5-speed black interior to gutted and chopped, you should have passed this one to someone who wants to baby a car and just buy a beat up one to play around with. However, I do respect someone who drives their car like it's meant to be driven, just sad to see a mint one go this route lol

^i agree completey with that. was thinking the exact same thing.

but to each his own. and it looks like the OP knows what he's doing.

Yeah, seems like a waste of a clean SC. Always nice to see an SC being driven like it should though.

wow 70K miles and a factory 5spd

way to ruin a car :(
