Here is the deal. I am curently in a course at Niagara College called Motive Power Operations. In this course you learn almost every aspect of cars. It touches base with everything from diagnostics to driving skills. We have a drag team with 2 cars , a dirt track car(street stock) and a car we use for shows. Now I want to start a college drift team. As class president and the college race club president I have discussed this with the students and the instructors to come to an agreement and i recieved the go ahead for the project. Now the problem being that I will recieve no funds to start this project. This is why I am turning to the great people of SON. I have Allready had a car donated from Bing, however it is one of his famouse parts cars and its is actually just a shell. So I am looking for help, I need some parts and mainly I need an engine. With anything donated you will get a reciept for its worth and it will be tax refundable. If you have anything you would like to donate PM me or just reply to this thread.
it is the same reason why they have a drag car, engine dyno, auto cross days etc. to learn how to build a car and then learn how to drive it.
chris will likely be the driver in the near future as his times during college competition have been the best by far, and this is all his idea anyways.
the college also has an agreement that allows them insured use of the mall parking lot for auto-crossing and soon to be ‘drift days’. the lot is huge.
considering that chris is active on SON we should be able to tilt this in our favour.
Thanks Bing. The point of the car is to learn and have fun doing it. We have vehicle dynamics courses and we set up cars for auto cross, drifting will just take that to the next level. We have full use of the parking lots at school as that is where we do our aotocrosses now. My instuctor does want to enter the car into competition in the summer but as far as a driver i will have to train one to drive in comp as I will be driving my own car. Driving this car will not be the only lesson, once i have 2 engines 1 will bigin a build up. I will put in requests for internal parts and it will be a project for our performance tuning class to get as much power out of the KA as we can. We have a bran spanking new engine dyno being put in over the christmas holiday. I will be doing some seriuos power tests on different mods for the KA.
i got some old cone style air filters u can have, need to be cleaned though. i may also have some s14 suspension [arts that i may donate if i don’t sell them.
Thanks for all your replies and the intrest. I have started a thread in car chat to answer any questions on the course or for disscution on this topic. Please post there if you have questions. Also please let me know what you think of this idea.
Thanks guys. I will have to try to set up a day when i can pick all this stuff up in one trip. I will speek to my instuctor today and see what his schedual is like and see when would be good for you’s.
that you can use for parts. I’ll donate them.
