beachlander Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Posted September 1, 2012 Trying to get it ready for a track day coming up so can't take too long haha Quote
beachlander Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Posted October 28, 2012 Boring picture less update. Due to other commitments and shit weather (the joys of not having a garage) progress on this has been slow/havent touched it in a month or so. Had a bit of trouble with the wiring to start off with, and lost a bit of motivation. Picked up a radiator for it on friday, and was going to sort out mounting it today but my friend called a good mate of his and he came round, ripped the loom out and got stuck in. A shit load tidier now, but not quite finished. Its now turning over, but has no spark. We think it may have something to do with the alarm that has been wired in in the old car, as it was spliced into the whole loom. But some progress is good progress..i think. Quote
Skellington Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 keep at it. when that baby fires up for the first time all your motivation will be back. Quote
beachlander Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 Yea i need it going by the 15th of december so i have a bit of time yet. Just need to sort out some suspension. Quote
beachlander Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Posted November 10, 2012 Nothing that great, but chucked some cut lowering springs in today. Didn't drop it too much but will be alright for now. Just need to get some tires and get it running then I'm ready for hori dori (local drift day) Before After Quote
beachlander Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Posted November 14, 2012 Got these bad boys on the way 13x7.5 -8 Quote
Doogs Posted November 14, 2012 Report Posted November 14, 2012 Nice wheel choice mate ;) Coming on well, keep us updated. Quote
beachlander Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Posted December 9, 2012 Another picture less update as I forgot my camera, but it now runs, all thanks to my mate Todd/ Boost-k on these forums. Have a few things to tidy up but pretty much ready for the drift day on saturday. Quote
beachlander Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Posted December 10, 2012 Proof that it actually runs. Ignore the mess of wires, will be cleaning it up tomorrow Quote
beachlander Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Posted December 17, 2012 So, Saturday was Hori Dori. After a ʞ©$ɟ around with getting a trailer ended up being quite late but that was sweet. Found out i can't drive for shit, but will hopefully improve with more practice. And the car handles like shit. Sooooo much axel tramp, but that was expected as i havent done anything to the rear suspension. Couldn't hold a drift for more than a few seconds as the car just straightened out. Needs a shit load of work before the next drift day but i am picking up some reset leaves next week off this car Although car didn't handle well and my driving is sub average, still had a blast and can't wait to get out there again after i have sorted a few things.

Skellington Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 Sounds like a lot of fun. So what does the car look like now? Quote
RainWarriorDregs Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Oh i love these things in wagon form! Quote
beachlander Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Car doesn't look a lot different from the first picture, as my wheels arent here yet. But i bought myself an early christmas present Guards are pretty rubbish condition, but i didn't pay a lot for them so can't complain. Going to be buying a weld in coilover kit so suspension should be sorted by the next drift day. Edited December 21, 2012 by beachlander Quote
