We were approached by
Right Coast Cars one of the largest car organizations on the east coast in aid in building
Team RCI's 2006 Ford Mustang GT drift car which is going to be driven by Pro Skate boarder Jason Ellis. Team RCI will be joining the NOPI drift competition series and will begin touring around the country with NOPI.
So without hesitation we've agreed to team up with Team RCI and do all the heavy fabrication and installation work. What we will be doing is the following;
* Installing and tuning a Vortech Supercharger
* Custom Roll Cage
* Full Custom Exhaust
* Race Coil over suspension
* Racing seats and seat brackets.
First tackle was to get the mustang running because it was a theft recovery vehicle and the theifs destroyed the ignition all to hell....
Rob from Right Coast Cars Rep. and Ryan H. our Import tech guru...
I think there is like 2-3,000 miles on the car.... Nice and clean still
Thats all you get for now... Team RCI's Car will be at Carlisle, PA tuner show May 10-11 and we will be there with them if anyone wants to come check us out and the drift mustang out. Also in a couple weeks we're going to an undisclosed location with Team RCI and a few other race teams for a day of drifting at a rented out race track. I am getting out of working for the weekend and driving back from college to enjoy in the fun day...I'll throw some more pics of that and progress on this for ya all in due time...
Enjoy...
One step at a time!
Nice to see stolen and slightly abused cars return far better than before =) I hope all goes well post updates of the progess!

A centrifugal charger on a drift car? Interesting choice...
