Post by combat carl »

Hello I'm from California where i spent a while running a muck in the scca scene before i met up with the owner of a company called drift tech and fell in love with the drift scene. So I tricked my sponsor's from scca to help me build this coupe to compete in the mid west drift union to get a shot at my formula d pro licence but am stationed in Tennessee right now and my work won't let me complete a full season I have this 86 coupe in the middle of a 20v swap and I picked up a spare gts to fabricate suspension parts. I also have an 09 pontiac g8,11 Toyota tundra rock warrior edition :various42: , 67 bug and an 87 fiero (for wife) a 92 dodge 350, my tow slut, a 2000 wrangler from my rock crawling phase lol,,and an 05 gsxr litre bike

Well here are some pics of my baby. It is a track car that I drive on the street for fun.
Upgrade list
Bt 20v
Autometer speed tach fuel level oil pressure and oil temp speedo.and fuel gauge
Momo steering wheel
Xxr wheels (motegi Mr7's for track
