After having a drift car for a couple of years (and doing a stunning job of writing it off), i decided it was time to build a new car, but with grip laps in mind. Less chance of me majorly damaging the car if i go offline. I am currently on my second shell as the first one id picked up was a bit ragged (and i really wish id picked up the other car he had.....found out it was an ex Gibson Motorsport HR31 shell, unused in racing but ready to hav stuff dropped into).
