Hey guys, just wanting to show off my newest drift car build, this is by far my favorite build I've done so far! The objective? Create a drift car from a JDM Legend. This took some thinking but after a few days of trolling the Market Place thread I traded my CRZ for a 1967 skyline.

I had my doubts at first but I tried the thing out stock and it drifted about as good as the stock AE86 APEX! From that second on I knew the heat was on!

Here she is in her stock glory!

Yea, I know, that is a mighty fine machine but I didn't stop there. I saved up about 90,000 and dumped it all into this car :crazy:

I started out with the LSD, the Height suspension kit since the stock suspension was fine but I wanted a little control, pushed it up to 171 base HP from around 100 and gave it the full weight reduction treatment and rebuilt the chassis.

Also I had a very special classic Ferrari Orange color saved for this project!

This beast has only been spotted a few times, but it is something to fear without a doubt!

More pics and tuning info in the coming days :)

















 
I have one in my garage as well as a Fiat 500 that both need drift setups.

Nice to see someone getting it sideways in something other than an RX-7/Supra/240SX.
 
I have one almost just like it :) its my favorite drift car and one of the best, close in color too. mines hemi orange with ridiculous amounts of front camber, but congrats on it. It looks good man!
