Thanks man, theres no huge rush, Im just sorting the shell out at the mo, no engine or box yet I'll copy this onto DW and see if anyone on there can give me some info as well, just to get as good of an idea as I can really.

Afternoon all!

Been a while since I've been on here, but Im currently building an FC drifter for next year.

So I'd like some info on what's needed on an FC for some big steering angle. Im currently driving a Nissan with some serious lock, and the mods on that are:

Lengthened lower control arms
Modified hubs
Lengthened tension rods
Steering rack moved forwards on the subframe

Now, I've picked up an S4 shell, so the lower arm/ball joint things are the un-boltable type, so that's easily sorted. I've sourced some modified knuckles as well, but I've no experience at all with RX7 steering set ups, do I need to do everything as the Nissan has, or anything extra?

Any info is very welcome

I need the bonnet and both front wings, after some c*nt destroyed my front end today

Please can you drop me a text on 07837 216 832.

Thanks mate, Chris.

I managed to reverse out of a parking spot in MK\'s IKEA with the handbrake on after RS yesterday (... i know, I blame the heat :o)

Hydro kit... I\'ll be adding that to "the list".

Strong work! You couldn\'t do that in mine, not with this diff and clutch

No interest at all?

I\'ve seen spotted the perfect car, so I\'d listen to an offer if you\'d like to make one?

So, I\'ve spotted an S-body I really want, which would save me a lot of time and money to drift competitively next year!

It\'s an \'89 T2 Cab in red.

11 months MOT, and taxed \'till the end of the year.

75,000 on the clock, but the engine has all the signs of a re-build, however no documentation was kept by any previous owner regarding this.

It starts first time, and every time, hot or cold. The coolant doesn\'t bubble, it does seem to be a good strong engine. There\'s no smoke, or rattles or bangs of any sort! The turbo doesn\'t smoke either, it comes on boost as it should, and there\'s no hesitation throughout any of the rev range.

There is of course, some corrosion. The back arches are bubbling, and there are some holes in the bottom of the front wings. HOWEVER! It went through it\'s MOT in JULY with no advisories on corrosion at all! Seems to be a solid shell.

The previous owner modified it a little with drifting in mind, and as such, it has an Exedy 6 puck clutch with a super light flywheel and counter weight. It also has a welded diff.

Inside, there\'s a dishy steering wheel (which is really nice!) and a water temp and boost gauge, to keep an eye on things. I can leave the stereo in there, but I\'d prefer to keep it, as I quite like this one!

All the switches are fully functional, windows, cruise control ect, they all work perfectly as does the roof.

The roof does unfortunately have the tears that they all seem to acquire

There\'s a shiney cusco strut brace on the front as well

It\'s also fitted with a 3" Kakimoto cat-back exhaust.

The standard BBS wheels are in good nick, although they have no centre caps. Driftworks steel internal drive nuts hold them on.

Given its got nearly a years test, a good few months tax, and a solid shell,

My asking price is £2500 on MRC, everywhere else it will be advertised at £2750.

V5 and handbook present, two keys.

The car is will be in Todmorden (not far from Halifax) as of next week, if it doesn\'t sell by JAE it will be on the Club323f stand if you want to come and have a look at it then.

07837216832 Give me a ring for anything else you want to ask that I might have missed.

My rotary ownership has been extremely brief, but I have enjoyed this car lots! Much more driveable than my old S13, and it gets a lot more attention, but this car is not what I need right now...

Secret test track.

Thanks Mitch. I\'d hope they wouldn\'t be, cars not long been through it\'s MOT, seized calipers surely would have been a highlighted issue.

I\'ll get shopping

Evening all.

Drifting related question:

Whilst playing out this evening, it didn\'t take every long at tall to realise how appalling my handbrake is! Barely slows the car down, let alone lock the back wheels up.

My old S13s handbrake was alright, but I really wasn\'t prepared for how poor the one in my T2 is!!

What set up do you drift boys use? Is it a case of sticking some nice new pads in, soak the handbrake mech in WD40 and try to free it up some?

If you hang on though... I\'m sure Grinder will come up with a way to make a new turbo out of a shower curtain, bin bags and PVC..!

:Hammer

Turbo mate

Super, I\'ll maybe look at those then.

RE the headlight vents, where the devil do you get them from!!??! Lol!

Has anybody got any experience of these?

Is it worth me spending £40, or is it a better idea for me to make one up myself out of bits?

Depends how low it sits the seat Timmy..? I\'m 6\' tall, with the OEM seats in my driving position, I can just about wear a helmet with the roof up...

If the one you have sits at standard or lower height, name a price!

chrislaidler @ live . co .uk

why not use something like this- http://stores.ebay.co.uk/McGill-Motorsports and go to the unf turnbuckles bit or the metric turnbuckle bit? would be mot passable and probably better

Holy smokes!

Why haven\'t I seen those before!!

Damn, it\'s too late now to be jacking up the car and measuring up links!!!

Thanks very much fella, that looks to have saved me a good few pennies

I have a fc bride base mount rail for sale if youre after one.

Don\'t suppose you still have this do you mate?

Not yet chap

I got one from Jimmy\'s, turns out I need two though!! They didn\'t have any left, so I gave Mazda a ring...

£90.01 for one, and a nearly two month wait for it!! No thank you.

So, Racing Beat it is, but being as its been a holiday in America, (due so some date involving Will Smith and aliens), they\'ve not been able to get some over to this side of the pond until early next week.

Once they turn up and they\'re on, it\'s good to go!

Bugger me, I can\'t wait! Driving it to and from the garage is not enough!!!
