Tire Killing Machine

Finally got a Daily here it is

Time has come to put the Z under the knife and make it a real drift car. TRYING to make it formula d pro am Atlanta this year, time is ticking and I got a lot of work to do so we shall see what happens.

Current car mods, blah blah all the regular stuff, the lastest cool thing was a Reinforced sub frame w bushings from PBM, solid diff bushings, project mu ebrake shoes (which work awesome hydros are laaame) and urethane bushings for the rear uprights.

Current plans-

VH V8 swap, FD spec roll cage and some small stuff along the way.

Current Progress- gutting interior, stitch welding, Planning out cage, Pulling out gay ass VG engine, Custom Fender Braces, Port matching

Header flanges

Clearance

Engine mount base plates

Copying the plate ( why do you ask?) because I have the ability to and when I’m done I can have a plate for the ¼ of the price.

As soon as I finish making the plate I’ll put the engine and trans in and start making the motor mounts, headers, and figure out oil pan clearance.

thats rad to see a z32, quick question though. i can't see the pic so i don't know how severe it is...but doesnt formula d not allow modded/reinforced sub frames? i doubt the same rule applies to pro am but it's worth a read...GOOD LUCK!!!!!

as far as I know its not really modded (rear at least) (cut up or anything) BUT they changed that with the huge v8 fad, they now allow it.

AzDRiFT · 01-20-2011, 08:44 AM

Very cool build...love to see Z32's drift. Can you post pics of the stitch welds?

Darude · 01-20-2011, 06:27 PM

Hey Mongooze,
I seen you a while back at a drift event in Palm Beach. You did your damn thing. I even think you had a NA engine at the time. Keep up the good work with the Z32

bardabe · 01-20-2011, 07:15 PM

best of luck, if you run into any problems feel free to PM me.

outtamyway · 02-23-2011, 12:12 PM

subscribed! keep it up!

Mongooze · 03-01-2011, 10:29 PM

somehow the hood actually clears, all I did was remove some of the inner skin, no shitty hood scoop required.

still have alot to do but this is more or less on how it will be.

fearlessKouki · 03-01-2011, 10:56 PM

sick build...totally love it!

Mongooze · 03-07-2011, 09:22 PM

Had some time in the daylight to snap some pics lol usually work at it at night so I was never able to take some shots.

Had some paparazzi too

working on the motor mounts

Helped a friend do some door bars on my downtime.

PoorMans180SX · 03-13-2011, 04:11 PM

This is cool man! I love to see Z32 drifting!

Mongooze · 04-02-2011, 06:42 PM

What’s new?!

Hacked up k member

Motor mounts

Collectors

Header work starting now.

Sneaky peak at angle n stuff

Im going to redo that lower pipe that hangs all low, I don’t like the way it looks lol

you can if you try, i didnt know shit 2 years ago, took a welding class, bought metal and stated cutting shit up, use alot of pics of other peoples stuff for reference. maybe i have a mind to figure out how to piece things together too though, i played with legos alot as a kid lol.

im still learning, those are my first headers.

Wastegate · 04-02-2011, 08:21 PM

im guessing you used 6010 welding rods for your motor mounts and headers? Awesome car so far man, Fabricating parts takes experience and patience! Im am going to respect you soooooooo much more for putting your car together with a buzz box! represent!

dirt114 · 04-09-2011, 01:28 PM

Noiiice. I'm starting to learn welding at work but looking at the work you have with those headers makes me want to turn and run! huge props man!

Mongooze · 04-28-2011, 06:10 PM

update tyyme, update tyyymeee!!!

Im changing some things around, I'm raising the motor and pushing it back some more,
I'm redoing the motor mounts and headers, the motor sat too far down and too far forward to my liking, if I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it right.

but in the meantime the car is going somewhere for something.....
