Streetcar Life EP6: Building a Basic Driftcar

[@Snobonical]

You guys are awesome keep doing what you do please it is so fun watching you guys

[@21April853BC]

That dash trim is mint.

[@saikosuku_trial6215]

Nice vid! That garage was harbor freight city.

[@240sx4dayz]

What track was that at the very end? I'm not sure there are very many areas in Maryland for drifting and I was wondering if my old buddy Prakash knew where the spots were at (we went to Sligo together)

[@Saikou-Style]

WOW sligo middle school haha. Not sure what track that was, I'll ask juan!

[@clutchcrusade]

I just s13 coupe it has welded diff and it has emissions delete it fired on 2 cylinders and couldn’t idle and now I have it idling and running good but it just wants to cut out when it hits higher rpm so I’m going to replace maf sensor!

[@crambo7320]

What about a radiator u need to cool down that engine more since ur pushing so often

[@Saikou-Style]

+cmian rambo Always a good idea, but really only necessary when you start hitting events on a regular basis. The temp gauge is key. After you realize your pushing your car hard enough to get the temps higher than normal, upgrade your cooling.

[@rickyduran7673]

I just bought my first 240 for $1500. It was dualcam ka swapped and the guy gave me a fiberglass bumper (needs some repair) and the guy gave me an extra dual cam ka. Was it a good buy?

[@Saikou-Style]

if it runs and has no rust then yea dude!

[@gtwing8663]

Damn I though you were going to build a simple s13, I didn't learn anything from this vid but it's nice for someone new.

[@juanlo4632]

sorry to hear that! it is a simple build, just showing you don't need an overbuilt car to have fun

[@gtwing8663]

+Juan C Yes I agree, simple cars are the best too many people think they have to get modded knuckles and bigger engines just to start out, cars like that just mask driver flaws

[@Saikou-Style]

Yea man it's intended for people that are just getting into the game that get turned off from all these high end "starter builds" they see on forums. thanks for watching though!

[@TheoMuchSpeed]

+Project Garage yeah for real, like the people that buy a 240 the sr or j swap it and end up selling the whole project for as much as they have in it and don't want to take a loss

[@cybertree]

I LIVE IN ALASKA (big fan guys btw.) And yeah coolant is not necessary lmao, great hp gains with all this fresh cold air too.

[@Monkeywrenchmotorcycles]

Not any running/driving 240's in my area for anything under $3k usually.... I occasionally look as Id like to pick one up to start drifting. In comparison you can pick up a good condition E30 BMW for around $2k-$2500...

[@Primer2toneGarage]

When y'all deleted the emissions did you delete that rod that runs through the bottom of the intake manifold? I can remember what it's called. It's got little plates that block each intake runner.

[@Saikou-Style]

YES. the butterfly valve system. remove that garbage. either get an s14 upper manifold, or you can unscrew the little flaps off of the rod. extra cool points for cutting the rod out and welding up the holes.

[@juanlo4632]

if you're referring to the rod that goes into the pcv, yeah we got rid of it. I welded the holes shut where they mounted. if you're talking about the rod inside the runners, we got rid of that too. it's for the butterfly valves

[@Primer2toneGarage]

+Project Garage Cool, yeah, I deleted them and filled the holes with JB weld. That was before I got my welder. No cool points awarded. 😅😔

[@Primer2toneGarage]

+Juan C Nice! Thanks for the reply.

[@BuhdFrankDaTank93]

+Primer2tone Garage what up!!! Lol

[@TeamBushidoOnline]

Nice video clip at the end my dudes!!

[@juanlo4632]

+TeamBushidoOnline

[@Saikou-Style]

I just want to be like Juan when I grow up

[@RiceTruck]

Nicely produced video, pretty helpful but I have a drift truck, I wonder how I can apply this video to my truck.

[@Saikou-Style]

The main stuff is the same, the welded diff is the magic key to entry level drifting. For your truck, you're also going to want to focus on weight reduction and tightening up your suspension. I know some tracks don't like trucks over a certain height racing. So depending on your situation, you may need to lower the truck as well.

[@juanlo4632]

+Project Garage IRS will help in the long run, too! that solid axle won't be doing any favors hahaha

[@Saikou-Style]

Yea independent rear suspension will definitely be a nice upgrade down the road. I know people use vette subframes or jag subframes to make it happen

[@RiceTruck]

+Project Garage Thanks for the advice guys

[@slimpickkns1178]

Thanks guys you really helped me out a lot.

[@Saikou-Style]

+Greg Erickson Glad it helped man!!

[@LiamSkateskinda]

Good content

[@1cleans133]

i need some help choosing coils D-max, pbm, BC, Fortune Auto, ISR..... Car will be daily, trying to keep the cost down but then again would rather get some thing thats worth the money

[@Saikou-Style]

all the coils you mentioned are great. I run the ISR coils on my car and I love them. unbeatable for the price

[@juanlo4632]

I love my D-Max coils TO DEATH. One caveat- if you ever need parts, it's a 4 month wait. I'd recommend a domestic manufacturer

[@BlakesGarage]

Just subscribed love the videos guys!

[@Saikou-Style]

Glad to have earned your susbscription! Thanks for the support!

[@elijahjenkins3337]

thank you cause, I'm gonna be Drifting when get my car at the pad like you said. but I need somewhere too drift that won't burn too much rubber

[@TotoGeenen]

Elijah Jenkins try ice :D

[@elijahjenkins3337]

I'm not drifting on no ice lmao. I know how to drift. I just don't got a car. But in 3 weeks I should. I know how to do faint drift and everyrhing, I just need to get the experience in.

[@birchsgarage8742]

use non chlorinated brake clean always. regular stuff is still bad to weld on even if its evaporated.

[@seansmile]

I took out my iacv and it doesnt idle at 2k ?

[@MrToastado]

Up here in Canada man East coast, hard to find one at all. Most people drift them around the street blow something up and still ask for 4k... I wish I was american....

[@logansmith8729]

its not any better here

[@ambushdrift]

sweet video!

[@skiduplightup6962]

Why do people weld they diff u can buy a straight bolt in block of metal to replace the gears on eBay for like 100 bucks

[@Saikou-Style]

Skid up Light up because it's free if you fabricate things

[@averagetuner4006]

What wheels are those

[@Saikou-Style]

which ones?

[@juanlo4632]

go on cosmis wheel website

[@averagetuner4006]

+Project Garage all of them

[@miataganggarage4680]

dope channel just subbed

[@danielschreiber1069]

could someone explain the "simplicity" part

[@Saikou-Style]

what about it?

[@danielschreiber1069]

+Project Garage you were talking about removing Suff. what stuff?

[@Saikou-Style]

+Daniel Schreiber Basically anything that doesn't have to do with the engine running well. A driftcar needs to be easy to diagnose and easy to work on. So you want to get rid of as much unnecessary stuff as possible. On Juan's car, and mine as well, we've removed all emissions related components, leaving only the IACV on the intake manifold. This brings the number of vacuum lines down by quite a lot. FPR, IACV, Brake booster, and PCV are the only vacuum lines left. Less vacuum lines means less points of failure We both also removed the throttle body heater from our cars since these cars don't see temperatures that require them. Fewer coolant lines mean less points of failure.

[@danielschreiber1069]

+Project Garage thanks guya

[@juanlo4632]

+Daniel Schreiber I removed any and all accessories that I don't use. AC/Heat/emissions/horns/wipers/etc. I just kept what keeps the motor running, should you have an issue, it should be relatively easy to pinpoint what's going on. The majority of shitty idle problems are related to air, by removing all those hoses, and given that you emissions delete was done well, you shouldn't have many brain busting problems. I'm not incredibly mechanically inclined so I wanted to make it as easy on myself as I could

[@psychobmw4495]

Nice!

[@TheLastSoundNinja]

I can dig this

[@akumastyle4959]

Good video for us noobs

[@Ngontih]

Where he fuck did you get one of those cars for 2k

[@Saikou-Style]

+Rad You can find them! Craigslist, zilvia, nicoclub. There are always deals to be had

[@Ngontih]

+Project Garage I'm in europe it's rare to find even a shitty one for 5k. :'(

[@Contract32Killa]

+Rad 2k is norm to high in West coast US. I got a couple for $800 to $1500. Would never pay more for one. Unless swapped and done right. Even still I don't like buying other peoples work. Usually its half assed and bodunkt

[@Ngontih]

+The Project Channel Damn i'm jealous for that money i can get an s12 half rusted away and without it's engine

[@Saikou-Style]

+Rad Dude that sucks! Move to America and I'll give you a 240 :)

[@ramonesfreak2010]

Holler at me for squat tips

[@beardedtruck-a-holic3833]

"its got a sloppy booty" 💀💀

[@JayVee240]

I shook Juans hand after my alternator took a crap on me and all of a sudden I found spares and could magically connect Shennandoah Circuit at Summit.

[@juanlo4632]

hahah gotta do what it takes to not miss the event!

[@JayVee240]

+Juan C lol yeah man. I think you and Ryan's KA skill mighta finally caught on to me. Shoutout to my senpai's 🙌🏾

[@ChaseHoffman]

Very useful! I think the seating position is the most important. If your comfortable you can slide anything. Check out my channel for a AE86 drift build.

[@pattoncrew6413]

Make more videos!

[@ColemanBales]

Wassup Juan???

[@juanlo4632]

yooooo!!

[@rippinonap1]

THE AMOUNT OF TIMES IVE USED BRAKE CLEANER AS STARTER SPRAY AND IT BACK FIRED THROUGH THE CARB AND SPRAYED FLAMING BRAKE CLEANER ALL OVER THE ENGINE BAY!!! GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I WAS SOOO DUMB IN HIGH SCHOOL HOW THE FUCK AM I NOT ÛBERMURDERDEATHKILLDEAD

[@juanlo4632]

+Sean Bowman Krash, I'm not really sure how to help homeboy out, you got any ideas?

[@Saikou-Style]

+Sean Bowman Breathing exercises and yoga really helps. Also goosfraba.

[@rippinonap1]

+Project Garage lmao sorry guys was just freaking out because I realized where all my brain cells ran off to.

[@coryschilpp2430]

you forgot about cutting your whole exhaust off because racecar

[@Saikou-Style]

+Cory Schilpp I mean that's just common sense though

[@coryschilpp2430]

+Project Garage that is true if you don't know that you have to do that first then you are doing everything else wrong

[@neilpatel5567]

+Project Garage u forgot to add stickers for extra horse power ._.

[@TheSitepro]

Check out my easy guide for welding your diff kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2O7n6CYaZ2Ua9U Happy drifting!

[@aliciagallegos4043]

let me have a 240:D

[@tonymarbulz1575]
