docwra Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 A standard Z33 is a fairly good driftcar TBH, Id just say get out there and see how you get on. Youll be needing lock mods before too long but Im a believer that its better to improve the car as your skill gets better rather than throw a shitload at it from day one, you learn a lot more. Do not get swayed into thinking that you need a hydro handbrake yet either, its too easy to rely on it rather than weight and power, and anyone who tells you you need more power obviously hasnt drifted a Zed in 5th, its got enough power Most of all, go out and enjoy yourself, its a proper laugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Ooh, and a decent race seat as well, makes a lot of difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Great colour and lovely alloys. Did you buy that wing direct from Boeing then or what?! Pretty sure you'll need a Pilots Licence for that thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenFB Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 So today made some changes not sure about the wing so back to standard for now also fitted some spacer to give some more poke an purchased x2 jdm bumpers an two diffs then off to get them Welded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Are they fake then? as i notice your wheels have cut out for the Wheels nuts which RP1 do not have and rp1 dont have a liped center bore there flat? Real ones the center bore is flat and the Lug not holes arnt drilled through the face Your do Yet look like these, so i think youve got replicas there pal http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=555736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
