Danny's 2011 FormulaDrift Build Let's Do This!

[Kyle @ DDS]

front crash bar looks good

[DannyGeorge]

Long time coming for an update but plugging away.. Save the details for another day but the home stretch seems far to soon and so much still to do. uggghhh  Will get it done forsure though just want as much test time as I can.

Solid diff bushings check


Mounting for rx7 t2 trans


Clutchfork modded for the 1/2" difference from having adapterplate



Fire system


Rear shelf to seperate driver from fuel area

[DannyGeorge]

Rear tube bumper and protection for the rad.


Will be running inline electric pump to push the fluid around to the back. Huge howe rad with the 18" 4500cfm lincoln mark8 fan. This should work nicely and push the rear smoke up and in front of the other drivers window vs. down low and no blinding affects!


Engine back in to get everything sorted like ic and piping, coolant hoses, ect ect.


Front bumper and front lip for looks.

im down for one session maybe the week before? im doing my turbo upgrade right now. should be finished by the 18th when steve comes out to tune it.
let's set something up!

[DannyGeorge]

Holy shit hit udrift last night late and got to do a bunch of back to back runs to really test some things out. Got the rear camber dialed in and gained a shitton of grip and speed.  Started laughing after the first turn. Got rid of some rubbing i had up front with little raise and sledge hammer. Overall killer night.

Much thanks to Marc tecson out there who hung out with us all night and gave me the keys to my first drive in an sr'd angle'd 240!!  Crazy what 10 inches of wheelbase does. Seems almost cheating after driving a miata so long.

Cars back home so i can finish building the rear bash bar and getting things ready for tech. 

[DannyGeorge]

Rebuild with new powerplant!

BYE BYE!


Hello!!!!!



I need to chop roughly here's!




Let's get started





Chop here

[DannyGeorge]

and start on the subframe



I cut some more and installed. the green lines is where I need more cuttin





I ended up not bracing the first subframe and tweaked it all to shit when reweldng.. I learned a few things about what I want to change and such so I grabbed another subframe and started over.




Here is it almost all finished.
