Looking to sell or trade my drift car. It’s become to impractical without a garage and/or truck of my own. If a trade is made:
1) HAS to be RWD
2) Has to be street legal (clean/salvage title that can be registered).
3) Prefer it to be something like a track rat – light engine mods, suspension brakes, cage, etc. or in S13 terms – SR or well-built KA-t, coilovers, diff, etc.
My car:
Body/Chassis/Safety:
- MA-motorsports 6pt. cage with X-type door bars
- Sparco Pro2000 driver’s seat w/ OBX 5-point camlock harnesses (SFI certified)
- Momo 300mm suede steering wheel
- 5lb Halon Fire suppression system – pull-type, plumbed into cabin.
- Stitch welded engine bay and rear sheet metal
- Car was painted some 1970s Plymouth green as a bare shell, so most of the cage (added two door bars since paint) is painted as well as engine bay, door jams, etc.
- B-Magic fiberglass fenders – 30mm front, 50mm rear
- B-Magic “D1” fiberglass bumpers + side skirts
- Some carbon fiber hood - I’m sure it’s a couple layers of aesthetic carbon with a fiberglass skeleton. I weighed it vs. my stock hood and it was somewhere around 20lbs. lighter
Stuff that like…connects the chassis to the road:
- Tanabe Pro DD coilovers (kyb-dampers) spring rates - F:10kg/mm R:8kg/mm
- Megan adjustable RUCA (rear camber adjustment)
- Megan Tension rods
- Aluminum rear subframe bushings
- Hicas Steering rack
- Polyurethane rack bushings
- Tein inner tie rods
- SPL outer tie rods (retains parallel tie rod geometry despite ride height)
- Z32 front brakes
- SS brake lines in flex sections
- CNC staging/rally brake – plumbed [inline] to operate the rear calipers (cable parking brake was relocated and still functions to park the car)
- Longer “race” lug studs – F: Moroso; R: ARP
- Wheels
o F: 17x9 +15 MB Battle
o R: 17x9.5 -23 (+15 with 1.5” bolt-on spacer)
Engine:
- Stock Twin-turbo Toyota 1jz (not sure, but I think it was from a JZZ30)
- Mid-mounted Greddy S13 vspl FMIC
- Griffin dual-pass “Universal Import” radiator w/ self-bleeding surge tank.
- Generic boost-cut defender
- 3” intake tube with generic filter
- 3” v-band exhaust – downpipe-to-turbo and rear section
- MA-motorsports 1jz-to-S13 mount kit (uses S13 rubber mounts)
- Apex-i PowerFC w/ commander (not installed)
- Gauges:
o Greddy 60mm electronic water-temp gauge
o HKS analog boost gauge
o SPI electronic fuel-pressure gauge
This [stock] setup made approximately 227whp (270bhp) according MA-motorsport’s dyno. It is dyno dynamics model – when operated correctly, Dyno Dynamics HP and Tq values are low-reading units when compared to many inertial-type dynos like DynoJets.
Drivetrain:
- Toyota R154 transmission w/ extended shifter.
- Exedy Hypersingle clutch (3 events + 1hr. dyno time/break-in)
- Custom driveshaft w/ Spicer replaceable U-joints
- ATS Deftforce 1.5/2way [adjustable] LSD (regular fluid changes)
The car runs well, but is far from perfect cosmetically – it’s a track-only car. I have a spare, unpainted RF fender, and I’m pretty sure a LF as well.
As stated in the specs, I have not installed the Apex-I PowerFC. I may consider selling this separately – it is a designed for a 2jz; but, can be used on a 1jz with very very minimal rewiring (IIRC one or two injector wires swapped @ the ECU plug).
I'm not really sure what to ask, I suppose we'll say $7k OBO with PowerFC. I will take more pictures this week.

Why RWD?
Just curious. A lot of the great bargains for entry-level track cars are FWD. I know of a B13 (I think) SE-R for sale that'd be a great starter track car, friend is selling it for $2800 last I checked. Know of another Neon that's already got a cage in it and would be a GREAT starter HPDE/Track Rat, and on its way to being a nice SCCA ITA car.
I don't think I could 100% separate myself from drifting - too many friends and fun events. Also, I'd like the option if a "demo" (aka free track opportunity) arises.
I'm not discounting the racing/fun abilities of good FWD cars, i'm well aware of their capabilities.
Also, this car is Sold!
