Woohoo. Time to make the moneys.

Threw up in a good way?

I will co-drift with you all day long. Let me know what you need help on for getting the car ready. I have to order some small stuff from Summit, so I can get a smaller line and whatever fittings you need at the same time. Also, I think we should install my Whiteline sway bars. Your car has some SERIOUS body roll from the pics. That and installing one of my seats for the passenger would help us from getting sick I think. Also, spray WD-40 everywhere so it doesn't get bukkaked so badly.

^ Wow. That is nuts. Should have just built a full front tube frame while you were at it. HAha. Nice job though. What gage metal did you use?

Yeah. I'm still keeping the stock e-brake for parking the car. It would also be useful in rain or whatever when the hydraulic is too ferocious. It's still probably a month before I need that stuff back. I found one of your sway bar brackets in the garage, other one must be in there somewhere too. Lol about the silencer. But drifting will be a lot nicer with loud exhaust. Yeah, I'll cover the registration and expenses. Let me know if you need any P/S parts, ordering some stuff from Summit Racing soon. Come pick up the sway bars too if you have time to put them on. I think they'll make a big difference.

Yeah, we need to get a racing seat in their PRONTO. I think that and sway bars to keep the car from rolling back and forth so much will solve the passenger getting sick issue.

Did you get another helmet yet?

Yeah. I want to stretch it a lot at first to make sure the tire will tuck into the pulled fender with no issues. If that works well and I feel like I could use more traction, then I'll move up to 245, maybe 255. If I have tire fitting issues with the pulled fenders, I might just use a higher grip 235 tire although that might get expensive. Or maybe I'll get overfenders.

Don't worry. I'm about to stimulate the economy by buying all of those parts listed above. Economy should be good after that.

Nice. I am checking out your build.

Mel, are you serious? I went on their website and didn't see any deals like that. Let me know soon dude. Slidewayz said it has to be ordered from Japan because they can't get anything in that size in white. That means 5-week wait from Japan, which I would seriously like to avoid if possible.
