MPD47's On-Going Drifting Thread: Stories, Pics & Vids

Fixed.

Loooking good mike.

Good work mike :tup:

Awesome, i just read this whole thread. Okay, well half of it.

looking good man…cant wait to see the finished product.

Thanks guys, I’m extremely excited about this coming season.


Started working on the dedicated Brembo ebrake setup tonight, should have a final bracket to be manufactured later this week. Don’t mind the discoloration, the stock brembo finish tends to discolor under heavy track use, the final product will have matching calipers hahaha.

I have NO IDEA how they got that color :wink: :wink:

??? :wink:

HOLY SHIT is this real?!?!?

Yep, that’s a real photo from Dunnville awhile back.

I suppose there is a photo of brakes on fire but its not showing for me Ian

Cool setup Mike

Haha Yeah. Old pic of Moffitt ripping it around dunnvile with the front rotors glowing. Its flickr hosted thats probably why.

Really shitty photo, sorry it’s from my cell phone and then I blurred out the embarrassing mess that is my garage right now. Bodywork is mostly complete. Tomorrow I’ll finish the new aluminum undertray (the last one I saw it’s final use in a trash can at Clubloose after the crash), drill and pin the hood (gotta go grab 2 more hood pins, no hinges for me), and I need to get a pair of plastic clips from Dorschel Nissan which I’ll have by the end of the week (that is why the bumper is sticking out next to the headlights/bottom of the fenders. Hopefully finish it up and go for paint Friday or Monday.

I’m targeting March a week from Saturday to put the motor in hopefully, and I’d like to have it fired up a week or so after that. Still need to figure out a generic decently priced aluminum radiator, any suggestions? I have NO mounting requirements whatever is done will be custom it just needs to fit between my frame rails, approx 31 inches.

The hood is just sitting on the car in that photo, so it’s alignment is slightly off, I’ll tidy it up tomorrow.

You find someone to cut the trans adaptor plate?

Dan

Yeah, actually ended up with 3 reliable places for when I want the next couple done. Unfortunately I ended up with all 3 of them last week d’oh.

Well thats good. Hopefully the price wasnt as bad as the first quote you got…

Dan

Fairly close. I won’t be using this place again due to the price, but I needed it done and I didn’t know one of my friends could have done it for me at the time. Oh well.

progress looks good.

how well do the later fenders line up with the doors?

Brian

Whats the max height the radiator can be?

:bigtup:

Are you keeping it AWD?
