Hi all,
Just thought we would share our Drift Sil80 Build Project for those who are interested.
It involves Myself, Tim and Russel; along with Campbell and Johnny who are also lending a hand or three here and there.
The car was originally owned by Tim and another one of our mates, where it was stripped of all its awesome parts; coilovers, 2 way, SR running gear and 2871R.
The original plans for it were to put a CA back in it and sell it off but it never happened.
Then one day Russell came up with an idea; before we knew it, myself and Russell bought out the other mate and therefore we ended up with the Sil80 3some-3way Drift Project! A 1/3 of the cost each and 1/3 of the work each. Works out good.
We are doing absolutely everything ourselves! From the cage install to paint to tuning. The budget for this build will be as tight as possible. The plans are:
Put a SR back in
Install a full roll cage
TR29 Turbo highmount with Tial Copy gate
Greddy copy plenum
V-Mount setup
PowerFC
Oil cooler
Welded diff
G4 drift spec coilovers
Hydro e-brake
Pump the guards a little (well maybe alot)
Bright Orange paint
Big kit
Black roof, mirrors and Bonnet Vent
We have most of the required parts, some of which we had lying around (yes, you ask why on earth the TR29 turbo! - a bad decision on tims part a few years ago...) ready to go and have sold off all of the unwanted crap such as interior parts etc to form a 'kitty'.
So far weve stripped the entire car and all of the sound deadening and have purchased a cage kit from Brown Davis which we are currently working on.
Once the cage is in we will paint the inside of the car and the engine bay, and fit everything back in that needs to go in.
After its running we will paint the outside panels to finish it off.
Feel free to give us any helpful pointers and/or helpful comments. If you want specific pictures let us know.
We will do our best to keep the thread updated with pics a plenty.
Cheers!
Mat.
