Well,
I think I've officially decided to sell it. I've decided ultimately, if I want to continue to compete in Formula Drift, I've got to build a new (S197) chassis. They just straight out do not want my car in the series- period. Its too bad because I finally feel like I have the car to a point where it could be competitive.

I am first and foremost interested in selling the chassis. I wont part it til the chassis is sold, so please use this forum post to post if you're interested in the car as a whole, the the chassis, or what components you're interested in. This is mostly to see whether or not I'm going to part it out.

PLEASE, NO PMS about parts (unless you want the chassis), NO TRADES or rediculous offers. Im not hurting for money or stuff- so dont waste our time. Thanks!

The car broken down:

Griggs Racing GR40 World Challenge Road Race suspension Kit
w welded in through & under subframes and torque box reinforcements, bumpsteer kit, tubular k-member, tubular front control arms,
S95 adjustable castor links (10.5 degrees caster), Tubular rear control arms,

Cobra R front Brake Kit w 93 Cobra Master Cylinder: $600
Griggs Racing 4 on 4 rear brakes w 12.75 two-piece rotors $2700
Hawk HPS brake pads front and rear $250
Modified Sn95 spindles for more angle/quick steer $300
Kirk Racing custom 8-point cage w dual nascar bars 1.75 DOM cage $800
Custom modifed steering rack $250
CNC hydraulic E-brake w inline residual pressure valve (creates slight
drag on brakes to keep brakes at operating temps at all times) $200

New 6-peice headlight kit $100

Pro Mass Air Systems MAF $100
Big Radiator $100
Fuel Injectors (42 or 48?) $250
Chassis-- (can I really charge for that?) +_____
$19,800
Not going to include- seats, harnesses, pretty hood, lightbar,...

That doesnt include the $2500 I paid for the car, or any of the labor/time spent building the car. Obviously I cant/dont plan on trying to recoup the costs of everything. I tried to low-ball all the prices a little bit, and I know nothing is new. I also didnt list all the little things like the battery, battery relocation kit, steel braided brake lines, tires on the car, shifter, clutch, polycarbonite windows (doors), etc etc etc.
I'm considering offers over $8,000 (minus the blower setup), and not sure yet if I want to part it out. The chassis, If parted out, will include the cage (obviously) & sub-frames welded in, and torque-arm mount, and spare tire cover plate.
I dont want a hundred e-mails saying "I'll buy your coil-overs for $500", or "I call dibs on the caster plates". Use this forum to post your thoughts or offers- no bs please. I'm obviously not in a hurry to sell it, and am not hard up for cash.
The only thing I'd consider trading for is a S197. I would consider selling it minus motor/drivetrain, or minus wheels, susp- whatever. Please only serious, funded people e-mail me (dont PM) dpracingdan@gmail.com
Thanks!

They Dont want your car in the series?Period?
Thats so lame ... You car was always interesting to see! I cant believe them. I love seeing you perform in Long Beach at the Grand prix, Always bad ass seeing a old foxbody sliding around the streets of LB. You should keep it and look for new sponsers if possible. after all you started the trend of people wanting to build drift fox's.

Really I dont care to see the S197 cars as much as your Fox. If your gonna sell it to buy something better -Buy a 93chp Notchback fox body. I know where to find a few if you need help, My buddy in gardena c.a. sells them.
or
Talk to Kyle mohan, He may know someone interested in buying your car. He was in the same position...he sold his rx7 drift car to get a rx8 for better sponserships. I wish there was more money to be made in the sport, but thats racing I guess. I used to work at Cosworth Racing till The IRL series killed Champcar and I got laid off,-but thats racing. Good luck Dan!
