After finally putting a good foot foreward in the drift world, scoring a great chasis to work with, i knew it needed to be modified from how it sat. thankful i still had a grip of cash and a good friend in edgar sarmiento who helped me get some discounts on the parts i needed. also scored a set of 17x9 hotwheel 68s from Bwag (brian waggner) of LOLhio.
i called up Mike Fieock, one of the resident FC gods of indy (and now formula D. licensed) and asked some questions about the FC suspension, he gave me lots of great tips and so i ordered the K-sports above and some racing beat DTSS eliminators from mazda trix.
Chris Judy got word i had scored a nice FC and some suspension parts, and after talking it over he decided he wanted my old suspension on the car...so he came over and installed the coilovers and walked away with a set of tokico blues and matching sport springs for his work.
At this point i decided it was time to take the car out and start learning how she drove, so i went to couple events in '10 with Midwest Drift Union, which was what drift indy had become. the steering wheel rubbed on my legs, the seats sucked, and i needed to dial in the coilovers. the season ended with me sucking behind the wheel but knowing what to improve.
Edgar and Jorge Vega told me to get more seat time.
