Here's my new drifto toy :D
It already has the following which makes life easy.
  • Welded diff
  • Seats and harnesses
  • Hydraulic handbrake
  • A bit of suspension tweaking
  • Wheels and spares
Also came with a 1.8 16v engine and other bits to fit (when time allows).

Here's a few pics :D

I love these. They are fast becoming the new drift toy for a bit of fun. :grin:

From what I have heard the 1.7 engined ones are the best to get and once the diff is welded up you have lots of cheap fun on tap!
