Progression: the act of progressing; forward or onward movement.
Things are rolling along well with the ute build, while i wait for more tube to arrive i focus on those little time consuming jobs.
Its been a bit of work to get the full S15 interior happening, the dash required some more work to clear the cage but its looking good. The handbrake will be the original S15 ratchet style after i weld a bracket to the frame.

It’s looking sick nigel. What ride height is it going to run at?
Are you going to add extra weight in the back of it to even it up a bit? Might end up a bit tail happy.
cheapskate
I doubt it’ll matter if it’s tail happy, it’s a drift car. But wouldn’t it mean less work because it won’t need as much power to pull off drifts? It’ll only matter it it gets too carried away.

looks like ur keepin busy man! but iv been wondering about post 14 and 15 from the matsuri?!
Nick Wedd
looking wicked again, the small details that you put in like the h/brake just continually blow me away,
is the rear suspension gunna be in board rocker style set up? cause that will look mint!
kriss
cant believe how well the dash and centre console fits man looks insane
bozzy
I’m amazed you can get all that work done in such a tiny garage.
thomasdd
How’re you planning to turn!?!
Shaneeeee
What he said, how are you going to get steering angle with the front end so tucked up???
I am still in awe though….
Nigel
Hinged sections in the guards 😉
Oxer
Please tell me you are going to radius the guards all round to drive it at this height!
Nigel
Hinged sections in the guards will allow it to tuck 1/3 of the rim and still get 60+ degree lock!
anth
insane!
Miles
Im really hoping this thing stays as low as the first shot when its finished !!
Nigel
It will be ;0 you know me well enough dont you haha
Streetkarnage
Such a cool build, I wish my progress was as quick and good as yours 🙁
Nigel
Cheers mate 🙂
vortex
looks good!
but a little question: dont you think the wheelbase will be too short? Will be little tricky to drift, or am I wrong? Like the Kei cars…you need fast response, reflexes et cetera
Nigel
The wheelbase on this is 2700, an S15 is 2525, a JZX100 is 2730. I believe 2700 is perfect, little longer and a whole lot lighter will be perfect!
Miles
Haha that i do mate, and it was just a comformation question ;).
Loving that grill too, looks so mean!
Whats the SAI going to be like on this?
vortex
okay, that should be fine.
just looked so short on the 2nd pic…blame the perspective
Dale Woltmann
Wow, awesome work mate. looks unreal.
I’m also jealous, wish I could work this fast on my sleds 😛
Are you the bloke who had the black 180 with V mount set up?
When are you hoping to have it on the track?
Cheers,
Nigel
Hi Dale, yep i had the black 180 with the v mount, suprised you remeber it haha, it was a while ago. The ute will be ontrack in july for testing and then competion in august!!
