My "Ill keep it street" Build....

Sup guys !
My name is Paul and i'm from Quebec. I'm a french so don't worry if sometimes I make some little mistakes. I've been on zilvia for a while, watching build and stuff and i think is time to show you my Financial Mistake that started from a street build to a Formula Drift spec car.
The build started in 2013 so sorry for the bad picture quality because I need to find the old picture on my cell phone.

How she currently sit

My life pretty much changed when I've bought my first S-Chassis (1996 240sx) in 2013 from a buddy and the car was in excellent shape.

This is how she was sitting when I bought it





Pretty much the same week i got it my wallet was starting to be lighter...
We did a little maintenance on the car and then the parts were already starting to knock at the doors.





NRG Quick release and Nardi Steering wheel







Next was my Bride Carbon Low max seat







The interior of the car was the only thing that was realy bothering me so I've put a little time to make it clean by changin the carpet, seat, streering and a couple of other stuff. This is how the interior were before.







This is the new carpet with the old one.



And the new carpet installed with the new steering and quick release







Once the interior was finished, the engine bay needed a little cleanup

Before



And after



I've take the time to wash the exterior and change the tires





And new tire need some test to make sure they are safe lol



A couple weeks later the stock turbo said the has enough so I've bought a Garrett GT28 for a good price



At the same moment we took the time to change the seat mount for better one





Made a road test





New Synapse blow off valve and a little clean up







We made a custom shotgun exhaust and put some new Stance SS+ Coilovers







At the end of the summer we said "Hey, why we don't go to a Drift Day instead of getting the police in our ass all the time". So we borrow an enclosed trailer to a friend, take a shitload of tire and hit the road !





To make a short story of the Drift Day, we were a Montmagny Race Track and the car didn't have enough power to take the banking easily until I have to give him a little push by taking the turn in 3rd gear full throttle and bashing the clutch pedal... BUT! I was able to drift and have fun like a kid in a McDonald parc for around 1 hour before the clutch had enough
This is the only picture i have from the DriftDay...



It was the autumn 2013 and I began to go full retard by taking a clean ass 240sx and build a race car.

Next Post its how it came from this



To that (2014)



And in 2015



We are currently working on the 2016 build and we will keep you up !

Thanks
Paul.
