yea no doubt. I already contacted tech though and they said it was fine for this event. i ended up falling asleep (im worse than ray when it comes to this) so i guess it's gotta stay for this event. it definitely won't pass FD tech but i couldn't find anything saying you CANT use it.

lexan will atleast keep the smoke out and be cool templates for sheet metal.

A few photos of my car putting in work this weekend. Horrible driving + normal issues from fully building a car plaguing me throughout the day but at the end of it all it came out alive and kicking with minor issues that will be repaired later this week to enable me to get legitimate seat time before Formula Drift Vegas on Aug. 26th!

Not too bad for not competing since Pro-Am Nationals.


Congrats to Corey and George for making 2nd, and 3rd! Well deserved!

Buckey, I saw your WTB thread..... Take out your plexi templates and bring them by the shop. I can plasma cut you out of aluminum that is thick enough for FD firewall spec. throw me like 40 bucks or something...

anyone have an alignment hookup? i need to actually align my car this next coming week. eyeball method is good. but my car has a gang of rear toe in.

lmk! must be low car friendly. im not trying to get a bunch of time invested raising my car.

Started ripping into my car a bit tonight. Reinforcing all my aero along with repairing the cracks. going to respray the aero before FD Vegas and wetsand/clear the whole car while im at it.



tail light grazers + random bumper grenading itself on the freeway.


resin setting up right now. made a baller jackstand/resin can JIG lol


picked up some of that "great stuff" insulating spray foam to spray behind all the impact spots on the aero so im not super worried about it blowing up if i tap someone. going to see how easy it is to work with when it starts setting up. 

it's going to be a long night.

[driftfcbuckey]

got my aero all back together and reglassed my foresight fender.... sucks blowing up $1k fenders but atleast it looks good again.

i'm debating on respraying it before FD Vegas. i do want to - but i dont want to..
