Trigs drift car project (350 power)

And last night did this.

 

Cut the prop to size.

And with a large bar up inside the prop started to push out the rear UJ.

Nearly out.

And pressed back into the now shortened prop.

Next little problem was the pinion nut stuck out too far for the Nissan prop even with the conversion plate fitted so and little fettling was needed.

And there she it home sweet home.

And quick test fit of wings and arches.

Love this build :thumbs:

 

Given the colour scheme and ambition of this, I assumed that it was really the Zed shed boys building it. But the lack of donuts and complete absence of strange looking brackets blows that theory right out the water :stir:

Swapped out the AP 4pots for AP 2pots for some extra room on full lock.

With the 4's

And the 2's

And refitted the front to start sorting the wings wheels out.

Doors added too to line up the wings best I can.

And filled gearbox/diff with some genuine oils.

Starting to look a bit more car shaped now.

Took the car for a test day Saturday and was going very well a bit too well as it turns out.

Have a little off. 😢

But all in all I was well happy with how it performed straight out the box if you know what I mean.

It's all fixable bud. The FG door didn't like it so new one on order but it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

My own fault trying too hard too soon.
