I've had my SC400 for a few years. Bought it cheap with plans to run it as a Trouble-free simple daily drifter which allows me to go to an Event on plates as a spectator, decide to do a few skids in between and still drive home again. (I use an S14 for more serious drifting, but that thing breaks all the time)
It was supposed to be a very Basic build with only slight modification in Suspension, steering lock and Transmission.
Started off with the automatic Sc400, put on KSport coilovers and some XXR wheels:
Then things went a bit overboard after the R154 was installed with an Aristo diff. Decided to have it painted in BMW Sepang Bronze metallic and threw on some Japan Racing wheels in dark bronze (9.5 x 18 / 10x5 x 18)
Now she sits with a swan neck shifter that Comes out from the wrong hole and drives like **** because the exhausts are sort of touching the huge R154 tranny, vibrating the entire car time to have the exhaust customized, custom shifter and also do something about the final drive which is so looong it feels like I could now run 300mph
I am also looking into supercharging the 1UZ, since it seems the most simple way of getting some power out of the old bird.
Anyway, work in Progress. Updates to follow.
fuuuck.
I also have a full urethane bushing kit waiting to go in, some longer tie rods for a Little bit of steering lock and i'll Need some adjustable camber and toe arms for front and rear to get an alignment that doesn't drive like absolute ****.
