unfortunately I did not build this car, story has it it was built back in 09 by a nissan tech as a pro am car. he breifly drifted it successfully, then for unknown reasons sold it. the next owners seemingly did little to maintain the car and pressumably did not have success drifting it. then came me, I traded my low budget ka "boso" s13 straight up for the seemingly well built little ae86.
then the "fun" started, after the drive home from north carolina i parked the car in my driveway where it broke for the first time...
take the car to my buddys shop, and fix the previously ghetto fix. back on the road and running I decide i'd like to go on a mtn run, after getting tires I decide to "bolt check" the car.
upon inspection I find, Loose drive shaft, loose tranny mount, broken motor mount brackets. yay
after rectifying these little issues the car is back on the road. then i took it down to cordele and ran a drift event, drove the 3 hours to cordele, drifted all day, and made the drive back, Impressive!
then the diff exploded my welded diff magically decided to become one wheel drive...
the fix for this came in the form of a cressida wagon rear end that was fortunately sitting at pull a part. welded the diff, adjusted my 4 link and panhard and shortened the driveshaft and she's been running ever since.
so sadly in the time i've had the car there hasn't been much time for modding due to the keeping it on the road taking so much time. however i did get a hand me down vertex front bumper from MPaz, and cover the hideous smurf turd blue paint.
plenty of plans for the future so be patient.
