The new derv project - rickye - 07-03-2013 Had been talking to a mate about buying a project to go drifting, obv it had to be diesel. He spotted what looked to be the perfect car for it, so on monday night we went and looked at it, was better than we thought. We where told it was 5 cylinder, and about 1980's, turns out it 1990 and 6 cylinder, rwd, size of a bus, only problem is its auto atm, 3ltr straight 6, runs and bosch m pump(inline), full leather So for those who might not of guess'd, its and e class merc. Running a om603 engine Plans Stripping it, all interior etc bar dash, so will get money back from selling that Twin turbo, possibly either gt15's, or k14's, as I have 2 of each lying around Hydro handbrake Decked A lot of suspension work to get it setup And then drift the shit outa it No pics atm, picking it up tomorrow, so will get pics then And best bit, all for 300, will be keeping records of what I buy and sell so I know what its costing me RE: The new derv project - ginge191 - 07-03-2013 Errrm.... interesting, i guess??? RE: The new derv project - rocker8742 - 07-03-2013 Could be good mate get some pics sorted The new derv project - rickye - 07-03-2013 Cheers Function>form for this build, long as it goes well this year I can sort out looks and more power after I get the hang of it But it will need turbo'd, 120 in a e class isn't exactly quick RE: The new derv project - Piggy - 07-03-2013 mah 120 in a bus is slooooooowwwww not seen these drifted before...hmmm.... pics? RE: The new derv project - Bananalad - 07-03-2013 Ive a feeling there will be more diesel smoke than tire smoke?? RE: The new derv project - Jonny81191 - 07-03-2013 Start with some space savers on the back so it'll actually drift Then go for the power!! RE: The new derv project - rickye - 07-03-2013 no pics yet, and never seen one drifted before, there is one in england drifting, but dont know about it, same rear suspension style as the s bodies, just another tonne weight oh yes, hard to beat the reek its this size and shape, swb one, but still has a wheel base of 2.8m, is near 2m wide, and 5m long in total RE: The new derv project - maxlee - 07-03-2013 you missed welding the diff up the insides are fooking heavy so will defo be worth doing RE: The new derv project - rickye - 07-03-2013 oh aye, thats one of the first things to do lol aye, heated, full electric leather fron seats, bout to weigh a kg or two, i reacon i can lose 300kg nb with this, may weight everything that comes off aswell, for my own benifit more than anything RE: The new derv project - rd070707 - 08-03-2013 nice one ricky this should definately be interesting...would turn some heads down the port lol RE: The new derv project - silverzx - 08-03-2013 I think this is what your inspiring too.. http://www.blacksmokeracing.com/ http://youtu.be/hf5lLMCWWYc http://youtu.be/YlwTxw-027o Definitely on my list of cars to own before I die!
