Frozen Tundra 86

In 2011 I started spectating Club FR events and was instantly hooked on drifting and proper drift car style. I had already been exposed to it with magazines, youtube, and movies but never saw it in person with proper cars. After attending events for awhile I decided I needed to finally buy one of these cars I was lusting after. I decided to sell my Cobalt and started to look at getting something RWD that would be the best daily driver/drifter. I looked at S13/S14's, IS300's, and 350z's. All the s13/s14's were shitty, rusty, and overpriced. Not to mention I had no place to build a project. IS300's were way to hard to find and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Then came the 350z and I decided that this was what I wanted.
On a whim I decided to test drive an FRS at the local dealer and I was in love. Few months later in April 2013 and I was driving home a brand new Raven FRS. After nearly 2 years of ownership I decided to make a build thread. Below is the chronicles of this car in photo form. Attachment 99779 Right after purchasing Attachment 99782 Stance Coilovers installed at like 3,000 miles if that Attachment 99791 Ordered Work Kiwami's and Federal tires Attachment 99798 Car with the wheels installed. I also threw on a banner trying to attempt some style. Drove the car like this until winter. Once winter hit I threw the stock wheels on with winter tires and drove it. Attachment 99792 In spring 2014 I lowered the car more, installed PBM LCA, and Megan toe rods. Attachment 99781 Attachment 99784 Attachment 99785 Attachment 99789 Attachment 99790 Attachment 99787 Attachment 99793 Attachment 99795 Installed a Bayson R lip kit and took a bunch of photos Attachment 99786 Went to Final Bout with some friends. Attachment 99780 Had my buddy fix the rear camber. Car now is at -3.5F and -2.0R Attachment 99796 Attachment 99797 Attachment 99783 In October 2014 I finally did my first drift event. I sucked but it was an awesome experience to finally get on the track and to learn the basics. Attachment 99788 This is how the car currently sits as I am driving it in winter again.

Not much of an update, but the car is back together for 2015.
Installed Parts: 326 Power Lug Nuts Version Select Floor Mats Redline Goods Red Alcantara shift boot Still waiting on my seat from Evasive Motorsports. Planning on driving drift day 101 and 52 at USAIR at the end of May so hopefully it shows up before then. Anyways, on to a bunch of low quality cell phone pictures since I've been too lazy to take out my DSLR for a proper shoot. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8725/...346aae24_b.jpghttps://flic.kr/p/rQH9A6 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8799/...1df4b503_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8708/...7b51d138_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8731/...2345a1b7_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7710/...42cdbc0e_b.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8729/...7502f9d6_b.jpg |
Installed a seat, chilled at Drift Day 51, and went to a car show. My seat belt light and chime is still on even after transferring the wiring over to the Bride so thats super annoying and I have a gnarly clunk from the passenger side front suspension that is pretty much un-fixable. Driving in the next event over memorial day weekend though so super stoked about that.

Drift Days 101/52 came and went. Car performed awesome and running 18's in the front wasn't as big of a problem as last year after moving some metal and bolts out of the way.

How do you like your Stance coils? That's on my short list of mods in the coming months. Take the abuse of drifting pretty well? |
what spring rates on the Stance coils and are you maxxed out? I'm running 6k front and 7k rear and i want to go a little lower . Thinking if i should go with Swift springs. Where did you get the rear spoiler as well? thanks in advance
