Default My SC400 Daily/Drift machine

Hey there been a long time lurker on this site and now just decided to make an account and show the car I have been building on my spare time , still far from done . i got the car about 3 months ago

when i first got it it looked like this .


hated the wheels so i got a set of racing beat 17x9



then started getting tired of racing around Autofail so decided to swap it





and figured i might as well modify my front knuckles for a little more turning angle

may not look much but its a lot more then what it had before.

then made a hydro e-brake at work on my down time




and like a week later these came up for cheap and couldnt pass them up.




got this last week for 100 bucks


sold the racing beats because they looked like 15" wheels on my car so decided to order a set of wheels from my buddy in japan



and had the kit sitting around for a bit so just put it on today





and the day i first got it on the ground after the 5 speed swap decided to take a quick vid , the parking lot was super small in the middle of nowhere .

A few shot my buddy took on the way down to Formula D

and how it sits after painting the wheels






And in the next few weeks its getting a FD legal Cage , and a New V8 swap

sorry for the huge post , it was in the Drifting section but decided to post it here too

Very nice! I wish I had money to do my manual swap, it's so damn expensive.

Look's sweet! Nice job. All though, I'm not a big fan of aftermarket rims. But still I think it works in this case.
