As above plus save the money you are planning on mods to maintain the car, no doubt you will need new front and rear bars, lots of tyres etc

Dont get into the trap of constantly modifying stuff, Wait until you have oerfected sliding the car as is before chasing more power etc.

here she is

You'd probably want to lower it for better stability and handling for drifting.

Work on the Suspension / Braking / Tyres.

Power mods is not necessary if you are just starting out.

All should be good.

Why?

It would just f**k the roll centres going any lower than that

braking?! standard calipers would be fine.

Get it out to the track, fix shit you break and when you feel your ready for more power, or more lock then go for it.

Oh, a must have is a good, supportive seat it makes a world of difference.

Just get as much track time as possible, seems like it's a decent base to learn in already.

1000 times this.

Your car is pretty epic already, just get out there and rip some skids :D

Maybe invest in a gopro too so you can not only upload to youtube and show off your maaaaad skills, but you can watch your videos and see what you can improve on and maybe get other pro people to comment too.

That's just me.

Upgrade brakes to take a higher heat range and more response.

Each to their own.

And yes, a racing seat will make a difference.

most important mod = welded diff / 1.5 way or 2way

Negative, I learn't on an open diff. If anything it'll be better to learn with less. You'll then realise how things work/make it easier when you start adding parts to the car.

VLSD would be fine for now.

upgrading brakes is just a waste of money on a drift car, you won't have any issues with stock gear and half decent pads

get a decent seat, make sure the diff is locked and go drifting, you don't need anything else

dont get a gopro if you buy a camera as there shit :down:

.....

just lock the diff, drifting without a diff that locks it just a waste of time and it won't teach you anything

Fuuuuuu, you lucky bastard! hahaha.

Sounds like your car is good to go mate, you've ticked pretty much every box we've suggested.

Just get a fire extinguiser and I think that'll do it. needs to be at least 1kg and have a metal bracket then placed with in reach of the driver.

That clutch should do ok. I've got a Jim Berry Full Monty for sale if you want it pirate.gif

Speak to ISC-PERFORMANCE and get a set of n1 coil overs, rear camber arms, hicas lock bar, front caster rods, rear traction rods. Then just get used to the power you have now :) also a 2way diff is a must. Also make sure your handbrake is upto scratch.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
