Kieran's 2008 car

[kieran]

Well folks for the third season in top flight drifting I've got a new car and here is the story in pictures.


here's me old baby



the build took just under 2 very stressfull weeks!!!

but here goes

Here's the car as i bought her



I bought a few bits and bobs for here like greddy fmic and apex manifold, radiator and fan kit




I've retained the turbo from my last car, a gt2871r , and all the rear suspension and subframe which was poly bushed and had solid metal subframe bushes along with all the relevant suspension arms from Apex with spherical bearings on the ends for stiffness ( ooo er missus )

so we started fitting all the bits and then sent the car off for paint



the prep was done by me and the paint was done by 2_black_lines. Huge thanks to his paint skills!!

here's the end result of paint. the colour is nissan storm grey. ignore the orange bit. emergency tow eye



so it was back to garage kev sport for some polish and finish , thanks to tinny steve , get cage fitted and finish all the safety gear ( not to mention fit the rear bumper )





once that was all done ( sounds so much easier in type than in real life )
the car then went for vinyl thanks to c the signs in rotherham and here was the finished product



collected her en route to round one at donnington where she did ok. not running anything like 100% but still qualified 4th and scored some valuable championship points

here's the obligatory action shot. thanks to doristars for this
