Smoke A Little Smoak

Drift Indy Rage 3 by Matt Zick, on Flickr











Finally got the Cress-ant out on the track for my first drift event ever in Indianapolis, IN at the Drift Indy Friday Night Rage on July 8, 2011 at Lucas Oil Raceway. As you can tell, I don't know what the hell I'm doing but I had a blast and learned a ton. From the pics you can see that my diff was slipping like crazy, which added to my learning curve. I have a long list of To-Do's to get ready for the next one on August 12, and I've been working like a madman trying to get the car ready. Overall, I am really happy with my decision to build this monstrosity over the past year. Every blip of the throttle and squeal of the tires makes all of the hard work worth while. Now, back to the garage...

Sloth car

Engine build complete. Awaiting Exhaust manifolds.




Urethane Electric Violet, with 2x pearl.



Oil Pan is hammerhead with diamond trap door sump. This should quench the VG thirst.



Notched Rear Frame for maximum Low:


Gusseted Subframe and ready to install:

Polish On, Wolves Out

Finally got around to clearcoating the hood, thanks to a fellow Buttery Biscuit. Sparkles be lookin' fly.

Dinner with the Buttery Biscuits

When not building and tuning highly sophisticated Japanese drift machines, the buttery biscuits enjoy meals consisting of burgers, beer, sweet potatoes, hookah, and high powered rifles.

Crissy's New Shoes

Z31 again

Stripped chassis, dry-iced sound deadening, removed 50lbs wiring. Floors were getting pretty bad on this thing, decided to fix.









Made some fender braces while I was there:



Headlight buckets were rusted too, fixed those:


Starting putting together the VG34:

Bendin them Brake Lines

Always remember that when you are bending new brake lines, you must have smooth smooth round lines. You don't want any kinks or your shit will suck.
Here is a technical video to help you remember.

Maybe next time I will take some pictures.

Hi I'm newest addition to the Buttery Blog. This how I do it!

Sorry, I'm in your head now.

So Smooth, So Flaky, So Radioactive

Over the past few weeks the Crissy has been seeing a lot of attention to get ready for the upcoming drift season. Here are some updates of the progress thus far, culminating with today's latest upgrade, the most fitting of hoods for the ultimate Exorcism of a Hood Rat.

The Z31

Assembling this old VG is taking its toll on me. Trying to consider every detail at once can be a challenge, so I decided to treat myself to some itchy skin and start fitting the cross-factory blister.

Cliffs: The season has started but the car has not

Deviant: APPROVED

• Batmobile status
• Step ya game up
• No melon shooter
• Imminent rubbage

The only thing that detracts from the car in my opinion is that the wheels are two-peice "look-a-likes" that aren't really two-piece wheels, yet have actual bolts that thread into the wheel.  Other than that, the combination of the Ureshi window spoiler, V-Limited trunk and front lip, STi diffuser, 04-05 tails, sideskirts, and of course the ultra low, pavement scraping ride height make for one sick DD.
