I personally would not drift that car unless you plan on screwing it up. It looks too good for that. Get a junker 240sx and use it as a drift car. Remember, the point in drifting is to make the drifts long, but also to the edge where you are basically touching the cones, walls, etc.

Otherwise great pics. Have to see it in person one of these days.

 

+1

You're Z is very clean looking. I'd build it up for a fun weekend/night time toy rather than use it as a drift car.

 

I know guys the car looks to good to drift,,and thanks for that,, but I don't see it that way I just see it as a car and it needs or begging for some action,,, I do plan on haveing many replacement parts on hand like 3-rear bumper, 3-front, and so on... But in the long run I plan on making it a track only car. But that wont be for a while which is why I'm moving towards the 4-point.

Thanks again for all the kind words

 

this man speaks the word of the people. gold would be sssiiiiccckkk!
Id like the idea of drifting the z but for the money youll invest you could afford a junker 240 and only drift the z when you feel theres no way to hold back. The cost to repair one Z to wall collision you could afford the 240.

 

just do it right the first time.

scroll through my thread - link in the sig. there are some good cage shots.

 

Yea Gold is the truth,, but some one suggested I paint it white...That might look good.

Well my plain is to make this my track only car,, but that is later. and where we drift at Mineral Wells is a big *** lot. But I do see your point and would love to build a 240

Man love your cage,,, so you have a 4-Point with X-Brace in the back right? Who made yours and how do you like it?

Thanks

 

Track cars that are on actual road courses you could do and your car would be fine. Drifting is not considered a track car though.

Try and go to H2R in San Marcos. A bunch of us signed up for their event at the beginning of Sept. 2nd weekend. clubregistrations.net has the event listed under Harris Hill road. Once you do it once, you won't look at any other type of event.

 

it's a custom weld in made by robinson racing in atlanta. it is built to spec and pushed back as far as possible. i am a tall dude and if i would go with the cage that you have pictured - i would not fit in the car. so - find a real race shop that builds cages and have one made for you. also i can always add to it , to make it a full cage.


btw, are your brides fia certified ? i know mine are not, and will be replaced very soon.

 

That's what I figured,, If you don't mind me asking how much did the Roll cage run you?

To my knowledge the Zeta III series are FIA certified..

 

^ if there is a sticker on the side with fia cert - they are.

the cage was 1200.

 

my favorite z on this site.

 

The Bride Zeta III full bucket seats are available in a wide range of classifications and styles. There are many variants and there is a full break down below.

Except for the "sport" model, all Zeta III seats are FIA approved. FIA Approved seats have an expiration date associated with their shell and therefore FIA Approved seats are seldom held in stock. For specific motorsport requirements, please contact us prior to ordering.

Zeta III Sport: The Zeta III Sports seat from Bride features many of the characteristics of the Zeta III FIA seat without the FIA approval necessary for some motorsport classes. Designed as a rigid-back sports seat, the material on the Zeta series is long lasting and provides excellent grip. Medium comfort, high rigidity and low price.

Zeta III: Support, safety, comfort, durability, and style. Rarely do you find all these qualities in a single race seat, which elevates the new BRIDE Zeta III to an unprecedented level above the competition. Utilizing state of the art technology, these racing seats are comfortable for extended use, yet have the bolstering necessary to withstand the rigorous conditions of circuit racing. Equally noteworthy is a radical new sparkling silver metallic fiberglass finish, the first of its kind, which rounds out the total package. In other words, strap into a BRIDE Zeta III, and accept no compromise!

Zeta III Type-L: The Zeta III Type L seat is the exact same seat as the Zeta III yet is taller and wider and features a deeper back dish which helps prevent the seat from looking overly tall.

Zeta III Type-S: The Zeta III Type S seat is the exact same yet is shorter and slimmer than the Zeta III and features a shallower back dish which helps prevent the seat from looking overly small.

*** Special Order ****

Cool well I have the Zeta III Type-L so I guess it is FIA. Thanks for the input and info on the cage.
