2.5 Drift Taxi
« on: 08 June 2011, 13:40:39 »
So, I bought a 2.5 V6 to do drift taxi's in at PVS this weekend from elstree studios through ebay for £400  :y

Sailed through an MOT then straight to Garage-D in watford for some 3-way diff action...







Ive also cut the springs, fitted a bucket seat and extended the handbrake lever, oh and wire the flashy lights back up!



Then did a bit of a shakedown at essex arena comp last saturday and came 3rd (I span in the semi like an idiot  ::) ) Went well, everyone was amazed it was basically stock  :y











Its quite good, better on fuel than I thought. Plans now (if it survives) is to rid the cats and maybe put my 3.2 cams in it from my dead engine from the one in my sig and have fun  :y
