Matt good to see you over here, like i said over on ZT, im jealous.
and TedJ hit the nail DIRECTLY on the head when he said there just isnt enough off the shelf parts geared twords fbodies to make them as easy to drift as a S chassis. most of the professional level S13/S14 cars are built with off the shelf parts. no team of engineers, no millions of dollars in development.

NA for the time being, however, forced induction in the form of a low-boost turbo system could be in order maybe 2 years down the road.

awesome build up! My dreams are to ditch the SR20 in my s13 track car and swap an LS1 after i graduate in a year and a half from now. I've already started setting money aside. Responsive torque is wonderful for drifting.
Do you expect it to be done for at least some of the 07 season? JE and Brazs have been taking the spot light so far haha.
