Had a productive weekend. Went looking for some cars. More on that later!
Now, since Driftphantom picked up my partscar WITHOUT the RB26DET I sat down and thought about what to do with the engine. I dont want to let it sit in some corner in my shop. So my plans are to swap it into the 240. I want more power in the car and I dont feel like upgrading the internals or turning up the boost more. Its high as it is!
Now I said I went looking for cars last weekend. I wanted something to beat to death and not give a flying f#ck about!
So I took a look at these two:
Spoiler:
Vehicle Name: Mazda Miata MX5
Year: 1991
Miles: 124.067 miles
Engine:NA8C
Transmission: Stock
Colour: Burgundy Red
Condition: Rust here and there. The mechanics are in good condition
List of Options/addons: AC Schnitzer Type II rims
Price: $2750
Location: South-East Valo
Spoiler:
Vehicle Name: Mazda Miata MX5
Year: 1993
Miles: 107.098 miles
Engine:NA8C
Transmission: Stock
Colour: Mariner Blue
Condition: Rustfree apart apart from right sills. Needs complete rewiring.
List of Options/addons: Cut springs, welded diff, ITB manifold
Price: $2450
Location: Nortern Valo
Now these cars are the ones im leaning towards at the moment. Preferably the burgundy one. I want one that is driftready with minor changes. Bigger changes will come down the road. I would stick with the naturally aspirated NA8C and just bump on the tyre pressure abit. Ofc weld the diff or get an LSD if money allows me too 🙂
I will go look at more cars this coming weekend. I've scheduled a meetup with a local guy who owns a bunch of interesting cars. All of them are driftworthy 🙂 So if all goes well I might have a new project by then!
