Driftsquids Rebuilt Drift Car

[Twisted_SIL80]

Hey all,

Dont really come onto SAU very much but thought i would share with you what we have built in the last couple months.

Its the same silvia shell its always been but completly re-done.

Savanna motorsport along with ORIGIN Australia have come on board for 2010 and the car now has, Full ORIGIN urban kit, 50mmm wide fenders all round, ORIGIN carbon fibre bonnet.

HELPS METALWORKS has gone all out on the Fab work on this car. Craig spent countless hours making the whole front of the car rock solid. It has roll cage tubing throughout the whole front end and all metal not needed has gone. Craig did some front tubs as i was going to be getting some crazy new wheels soon. He also made a custom HELPS exhaust manifold which has changed the note of the car heaps as you will hear in the video below.

ElectricScan Automotive rewired the whole engine bay along with the custom external coil pack setup. All the factory wires have been removed and only the microtech loom is in place.

Luke Bing designed the graphics and what a great job hes done at that. Myself and my mate KC painted the car a custom silver and it turned out great, exactly how i wanted it.

And the best part of the new car is the heart AUTOSOLUTIONS & RESTORATIONS along with Lewis engines have built a crazy new RB25/26 motor combo. With Andy coming on board to help for the 2010 year i couldnt wait to get the car in his hands. Andy has built many drift cars before including the CTS car and the WheelWorx S15. So i knew it was in the right hands The new motor was put together with the best parts i could afford. It has NITTO oil pump, Forged rods and pistons along with a brand new R33 GTR crank all chucked into an RB25 block. Lewis engines checked over the head and did the ACL bearings throughout the motor. Im still running the TD-06 25G with a custom HELPS exhaust manifold. The car runs 20psi and the true power figure is unknown as it just wheel spins like crazy on the dyno.

I took the car out on thursday for its first testing and have to say it needs alot of work. Anyway ill stop boring you and get on with it. Here is the vid

I think driftsquid is his drift nickname. you know like people on here have a sig/nick, but in drifting you must have to have an animal attached, like drift monkey, drift cat etc..

Looks awesome, especially the engine bay. Well done.
