Winter Jam.... Could have been better.

Saturday went ok. Just a skidpad practice day. Almost got annihilated a couple of times. I hate used tires.

Sunday practice was going pretty well. Entry speeds were seriously fast. Easily 10-15 mph faster than I managed last year with my SR and probably the fastest out of anyone.

Qualifying came around and I dropped the clutch to do a burnout and my axle decided that it didn't like to spin 265's anymore and exploded. It decided to take out the rear traction rod when that happened and I didn't have a spare. I ran home and got parts but it took to long and qualifying was over by the time I got back.

Here are some pictures. FML.

Getting some fab done to the green car. Having Marcus Fry Racing put a tube front together.

It was built (body wise) by the owner before Rapper Dan so the build on that is kind of a mystery. I know that a lot of the truck section is from a Chevy S10.

Yea I'm really happy to be working with him again. Straight up guy who really knows the ins and outs of the FD rule book and how to build a solid car.

Here are a couple more pics he sent me today.

GSXRJJordan · 01-09-2014, 05:17 PM

I mean, sure he does good work, but when you and your buddy need his help in a strip club tussle, he's nowhere to be seen!

DJPimpFlex · 01-13-2014, 09:55 PM

Got another set of pictures. The car will be done this week. Big updates coming

irritatedmax · 01-14-2014, 01:21 AM

Maybe I missed it but what's the plan for the green car? Fab work is looking awesome.

DJPimpFlex · 01-25-2014, 05:41 PM

Tube front finished. Off to paint.

Oakville · 01-25-2014, 08:54 PM

Are you going to be going back to an S13 front on the blue one....? I think pop ups would absolutely kill on that car

DJPimpFlex · 01-25-2014, 08:55 PM

I'll be running the green car. Swapping the LS3 from the Sikky Truck over.

Is the truck just fucked up or less competitive or what?

Yea dude! It'll be out of the car this week so as soon as you're ready!

I guess I can explain. This has always been my plan. People get so sentimental with cars (me included) that I kind of wanted to keep it a secret but everyone can see where this is going.

I bought this car for the motor set. I drove it as is for a couple of events just to see how he drove it and I definitely liked my setup better. I am taking a few key pieces like both front and rear subframes, all the wiring and everything to do with the motor.

Fear not the truck will not be cut up. I've put all stock suspension back on it and it will be sold as a rolling chassis with TONS of prep. It'll just need suspension and a motor.

DJPimpFlex · 01-27-2014, 04:03 PM

Going to pick it up tonight!!

lunarbomb · 01-27-2014, 05:49 PM

stoked on everything going on here.

You just do drift only, right? Because having the wheel arches cut open like that creates a TON of drag.

irritatedmax · 01-28-2014, 01:02 AM

Love this whole plan. Was confused for a while but totally on board now.

I think you're the first person in the history of zilvia to not part out an s13 as soon as there's even the slightest excuse. Good that it'll live.

conrad_s13.5 · 01-28-2014, 08:26 AM

Awesome fab work!

I digg the small things....... like adjustable popups!

Yea drift only. Cut wheel wells is kind of industry standard.

DJPimpFlex · 01-28-2014, 10:16 AM

Took another pic at home. This is seriously boner city over here.

Here is a up close shot of the paint. Gold flake!! I feel like I'm on a 1970 speed boat every time I open my hood.

I also started working on the dual caliper set up.
