Formula Drift build continues! (now with more weight savings!)

Here we are a week into the build, and Aoki and Luigi from ARD fabrication have been putting in work on the chassis. We got it bare just a few days ago, and yesterday cut out all the stuff that is not needed / hindering being badass.

 

 

 

Pile of actual scrap metal

 

rear quarter panel gooooone

spare tire tray gooooone

  

With the quarter panels, wheel wells and spare tire tub removed we dropped a respectable 38lbs off her.

wheel tubs gooooone

 This morning we lifted her up on the trailer, and brought her from the Factory Edge home to the media blaster to get all the nasty sound deadening residue off, as well as the undercoating and paint. 

More updates soon! Stay tuned.

Formula Drift 2014 Build begins!!!

Hi everyone, long time since I have had an update, sorry for slacking. The 2014 Formula D season is close upon us, and we are getting our ducks in a row late deciding to build a new chassis instead of using my old haggard one.

This is the start of the build and while boring, these should be at least a hint into the awesomeness that will happen. On to some pics of the goods. Aoki did work today taking everything off from picture one in like 3 hours.

Day 1

The day we picked her up. which was yesterday. 12/17/13

 Day 2

Everything but the fuel rails are out.

Gonna be a clean start to something epic.

Sound deadening out, just needs to be cleaned up.

Next steps are to get the shell cut up like an emo kid, then cleaned up like his parents sent him to band camp. Stay tuned!!!
