Road to Seattle ProAm

Submitted by bmx269 on Mon, 2009-07-27 22:15

I have decided to document the final few weeks leading up to the Formula D ProAm that Chris, Ian, and myself (Trent), will be driving at. We all have been preparing slowly and surely for the event, from buying the much needed safety equipment from places like Drivers Edge Autosports in Vancouver, to making our cars Formula D spec.

There has been a lot of time and money invested in the dreams we all share and the sport we love, drifting. But money is not all it takes. This journey I will take you on will cover what we have to do as a team to prep ourselves for the event.

We continued on with the rebuild. This day was focusing on getting the cage out which was no easy task. The car had to be cut in pieces just to get the cage out. :(

Day 3ish

Submitted by bmx269 on Thu, 2009-07-02 01:02

Today we started peeping the new chassis we picked up the day before. With the help of many friends we then pounded the tranny tunnel, cut out the battery tray, cut holes for the interooler piping and then painted the engine bay. Wow that was a long sentence. Then chris removed the 2 windshelids, without breaking. Amazing.

Then we sawed the roof off the coupe. Lol
