Finally letting the cat out of the bag
Over the past 6 months or so I have been building a drift car in between jobs! It’s not 100% complete yet but it’s ready enough that I’ve taken it out for a test run already and could not be happier with how the car went!!
Firstly this wouldn’t have happened without the help and knowledge of Rhys @ RKGarage Performance & Electrical, pointing me in the right direction with setups, lending a second pair of hands, wiring the car up and getting the tune dialled in as he always does!
Would also like to give a big shoutout to
-Kev @ Full Flow Performance Injectors for supplying everything required to build this engine! Always keeping everything in stock made life a breeze!
-Nick @ S&NPerformance for the awesome job he did on the roll cage, supplying the Haltech gear and nailing the alignment!
A bit about the car
-Holden VE Calais
-6.0L with Brian Tooley Racing stage 3 cam/pushrods/dual springs/rocker arms, mellings oil pump, timing chain/gear etc
-T56 Manual converted
-Maddington Transmissions 4:11 Full spool Diff
-OTR, Extractors & 3” Exhaust
-Blu808.com Steering angle kit
-BC Racing coilovers with custom front bottoms to suit the steering angle kit
-S&N Performance Roll cage
-Full Haltech system (PDM, ECU, Keyboard, UC-10 dash)
-Brembo front brakes
-OMP Racing Seats on factory sliding rails with VELO Harnesses
-Power steering & Engine oil coolers
-Catch can
-Hydraulic handbrake
In the very near future I will be looking for someone to do a bunch of custom vinyl work to plaster the business over the car if anyone knows of someone that would be great!
At this stage I am also putting the offer out to any businesses that may want to jump on board and strike a partnership and have their logo’s on the car! If that is of interest to anyone please shoot us a message!
Keen to get this back out on the track, keep getting better and rep the business!
