Done something a bit impulsive and bought a volvo 360 GLT saloon hence slipper drifter to learn to drift in. Not seen it yet just paid for it but have been assured its ok and has some mot. Will update as and when I get it home to mo.

Cant be that bad.......can it?

Besides,

You could have bought an S13, stripped it, welded it, tuned it a bit and THEN found out you have two left feet !!!

:D :D :D :D

Good luck with it mate,

Drop Nev a pm on Driftworks for all things Ovlov related - I think his username is Ali.

Excellent thanks I intend to get this to the august snetterton meet so will be looking for advice if possible.

The plan in the long term is to hopefully get goodish then either cat a jap drifter or drop in a 740 turbo engine as apparently fits on same mounts.

Anyway in the 4 days we have had it we stripped out interior except dash and roofline, fitted 2 bucket seats ebay bargain

And to think you taught me everything I know :thumb:

The project sounds great Ady and from what I hear at least you may actually get this one on a track ;) See you next month at the meet.
