Daily Driver (DD) and project 5.0drift

When your DD needs some loving! Well the rotors on my 2001 Mazda Protege MP3 and brakes decided to take a dump on me. So I spent some of my birthday money buying rotors and pads for it. First time I have done the brakes on the "bee". It was a learning experience for sure. Thanks to Glenn and Starkey for helping me. The brakes and rotors were the easy part. Next was the struts, Oh the wonderful struts! Second time I have replaced them since I bought the car. It was strange, I had more trouble getting the struts on this time than before. I had the car on a lift with all the tools I needed and it was harder than doing it in my driveway. Had a little help from Starkey and Brittany. Thanks! Got it all back together and guess what? It still rubs! So time for a whole new setup with coilovers and better bushings.
One other thing that's been on my mind is to sell my 91 Fox Body Mustang. Well I decided to keep it and turn it into my project car. Not just any project car, but a 5.0 HO drift machine. Something very few people have done. So I just need to get it inspected and see if Nutter and Starkey will let me bring it down to school, Vaugh Gittin Jr. is the only one I know of to build a drift car out of a fox body.
