would say if i had to buy everything out rite im just over the 10 but i did a lot of swaping and trading for the car and parts to build it so its only realy standin me around 7ish still makes me sick the money i wasted on other heaps of crap over the years!~ would of had some car now if i didnt do that

Budgets dont work

In total, i'd say theres near £5000 tied up in the 200 so far (which would include the 17x9.5 Rota GTR's i got for £280 due to the fella not having a clue what they were worth ), with another £3000 planned before it see's the track again.

Why oh why didnt i buy someone elses drift car with all the work already done to it...

I suppose..

In saying that, i was clueless about the drifting a year ago.. I didnt even know how to do it properly.. Used to just hang the tail out in the Skyline and Trueno at every opportunity, which is completely different

Now though, theres a full DW handling package coming, adjustable lower front and rear arms, hydraulic handbrake to get teh best out of the Skyline calipers, full set of bushes, a full VX bodykit (and possibly overfenders, depending on the new wheels) and then some more power..

It would be cheaper to build a fcukin house.. lol
