so like i said in the other post im setting this car up for drifting, and i really dont mind if you think drifting is gay or whatever this is basically a thread of me restoring this car, so far im working on the suspension from the back forward so far parts to be recieved tuesday are as follows, MM Rear bilsteins coil over kit, MM panhard bar kit, and bilstein shocks. And the parts i have already aquired is a 95 Cobra rear end with ford racing LSD with 3.73's and 12" vented rotors, and MM Xtreme duty rear lower control arms.

I also have the dilema of the color choice, Im torn between the two tone blue and silver factory color, same two tone sceme but with black on top and silver on bottom, or solid color electric blue that comes on the scion Tc's and inout you guys have would be awsome.

i will post pics of everything that is installed and possibly a few videos after im done.

+1 on that

strange engineering has a sick spool set up, 31 spline strange axels, 31 spline spool, c clip eliminator kit all for $650. and their gears are priced well. if you're gonna drift get some steep gear ratio.

you do have a sponsership right? cause unless you're independently wealthy i doubt you could afford to drift on a regular basis on your own income. ask some of those pro drifters, 100k+ in parts on an annual basis on parts, transportation ect. ect.
