Drift Missile

Well.... they were awesome. lol. 30K miles later and a few accidents.... they are starting to get a little beat up.

I picked up this cheap rusty shell for $200 and was originally going to use it just for parts. I just said Fuck it and decided to turn it into a missile car.


I picked the shell up on a thursday


I let the cars play in the backyard thursday night.


Friday, I prepped the car for the SR swap. I removed the old exhaust, and anything that wasnt necessary for the SR.

I picked up Kyle Mink's old SR20 that saturday


And had it in the car that night.



I worked on the car after work every day. I slept maybe 3-4 hours a night. haha.
This picture was taken I think wednesday night. I had the rear end and suspension swapped out from my Drift Car, driveshaft and solid mounts in, and Turbo swapped over.


After going to the store after work friday, I bought the last few things I needed to get the car done.


Got the radiator in, intercooler piping in, interior back together, fluids in, harnesses in, battery installed, and then I went on vacation for a week to Idaho.


Also had to make a Throttle Cable bracket


When I got back from Idaho the following Saturday, I went to town on the car.
Rear brake line had to be replaced
power steering lines from a dual cam had to be replaced
Flex-a-lite fans wired up
repair the lower and upper engine harnesses
Wire dash plug (I just depinned the dual cam plug and pinned a single cam)
Hammer pinch welds in fender wells
swap fuel pump
(I think there were more things but I am drawing a blank right now)

After that was all done, the engine finally limped itself to life. After letting it run for awhile, the engine ran pretty smooth.
I took a nap because I was up for 36 hours straight. I went out for a drive later that day to make sure everything was ok.

The next day, there was an assassin hiding and waiting for me to sit down so he could cut off my head.


I drove the car to work a few times.


My MAF is bad and I was limping the car around for the few days that I was driving it. I had to use up the 87 that was in the gas tank so that is why I was driving it around.

The car went under the knife again this weekend. I pulled the power steering pump, turbo, and intercooler piping off. There was an exhaust leak somewhere around the turbo so I pulled it off to figure out what was up.


This is my baby HKS GT2510 Turbo


MAP and IAT sensor




Just figured I would post this at the end to keep it from getting too confusing. I know I have a few repeat photos. I will have more photos tomorrow or tuesday after I get the car back together.
