Hello! Welcome to my build thread of my next competition car. Over this year of 2017 I'm slowly going to be building this chassis to compete in 2018 in southwest drift proam. I've been competing in drifting for 3 years now and owned a 450hp Nissan s13 that I purchased from Formula Drift driver Forrest ****. Now after recently selling it nows the time to build my first car. I chose the s197 because the whole field of drift cars are literally just Nissans. So after searching for 4 months I found a 2005 Mustang Gt with 160k miles that drives perfectly! Only for 4K too. So I'll be updating this thread regularly and if you want to see more than you can check out my social media pages found in my signature.

First update!
I'm currently stripping the car out right now and going over what wiring I need and don't need. If anyone is interested I'm selling pretty much all of the interior pieces other than the dash for dirt cheap! Also ordered a Cold air intake- JLT with a Bama tuner to turn off the codes. Also a JLT air/ oil separator as well. I have some sparco evo seats I will be mounting as well. Currently as I write this I'm going to be relocating the wiring from the fender wells to the engine bay so Once I order my Feal 441 coilovers and put on my Unicorn steering angle kit I wont rub through them. Also I'm going to be removing all of the A/c and emmisions system.




Im currently kinda stuck on removing the emissions system, has anyone done this before on a s197??
