Roadster 保護区 (File8)

It’s been quite some time since I scanned one of these articles. I have a stock of them waiting for me to stop being lazy and post up. So I start with one from a few months ago. File 8 is a local NA that I have actually seen at Meihan a few times.

As you can see it’s been kept super simple, with only a Tuckin’99 lip and 14×8 -1 front, +10 rear SSR mesh.

Engine mods have been kept to near zero, with only the basic intake, header and one off 46φ muffler made by local shop, T-welding. Power from the 1.6 is likely only around 100hp. But where power is low, the Maruha 4.8 final paired with the Mazdaspeed LSD are sure to keep rpms high wheels spinning.

Footwork again is kept simple. Buddyclub coilovers with 8k/6k rate springs. Angle is improved with a redrilled oem knuckle. I can tell you seeing this car run is fun, and the driver has been drifting roadsters for nearly 12years..so you know he can drive well. Be sure to check out the full scan below and look for more of these as I try and catch up! Cheers.

Unless I’ve missed something I don’t think you have revealed your new car yet! Anxiously awaiting to see what the new ride is! Very cool NA BTW, these cars look like so much fun. I think it would be fun to build one with a 13B in it!

reverse stagger to make room for angle is rad.
