Big slow drift racer - GS300 build thread
Hey guys,
My name is Billy Freed from Freed Engineering in Maryland. I haven't built a car from scratch in a few years and I've never made a build thread, so this is my first.
I was originally going to build another S13 240 but I found a deal on a GS300 that I bought just because. My great friends have convinced me to go ahead and pull the trigger. We work on a lot of pretty sweet GS3s and GS4s so we have a lot of experience with them already.
Plans are:
Small billet turbo 2JZ
Possibly E85
Haven't decided between built R154 or V160
Electromotive standalone
Bunch of cool racecar stuff
Not going to be some crazy $200k build, but still pretty cool to thrash around in
It'll probably be a pretty slow build as I don't have too much time to work on it but I plan to be driving middle of next season.
When I first picked it up.
Barfed out some Vip junk
Then I did this....
The brain
I've got a 2JZ mostly put together I'll get some pics of. Gonna do all powdercoated bits and stuff so I'll keep the pics coming when I can.
Feel free to add any input or advice. Thanks guys!!
-- Also, need to figure out what color to paint the Engine bay. Any ideas? Not into white or black.........
