2013 Drift season with “SLIDEZILLA”

Minnesota sponsored Driver Eric Moen is making big moves for 2013. His car is sitting pretty at Patience Metal Fab. Undergoing a full chassis redo, in Formula D specs, ready to attack the next season.

The Exterior is getting a the full treatment, with a New origin kit, Stylish side skirts,Racing line front and rear bumpers, 50mm tatakadashi rear over fenders And roof lip. Also receiving a Rocket bunny ducktail and New revamped green paint. 

 

Then we have the chassis fabrication,
The car is currently under the knife getting a full tubular front end built to Formula Drift spec. 
The rear end is also being fully rebuilt to allow a custom fuel cell and battery setup with my radiator mounted in the trunk. 
Custom brake setup with a willwood pedal box setup and a ksport hydro setup. Solid and a stronger steering shaft.

 

As far as the engine goes,
They are adding some reliability to the build for a solid tune around 625-650 whp. This will include: 
New turbo manifold with a billet CEA 5858 PTE turbo and tial 38mm waste gate. 
New intake manifold designed to flow more CFM’s and to provided a greater torque response. 
Larger throttle body to allow for better throttle control. 
Methanol injection system is still being discussed for keeping cylinder temps down and still retaining power. 
A custom bullet distributer cap.
Custom stainless steel braided lines and power steering reservoir to clean up the bay and strengthen the power steering system. 
All vacuum, fluid lines of any kind will all now be stainless steel braided lines to reduce leaks and fatigue.

 

The chassis will then get a revamp of New safety equiptment such as new harnesses, fire system, front and rear line of fire brake lights for the top of the front and rear windows. 
Lexan windows all around minus the windshield to provide a dramatic weight savings. 
We are running modified steering knuckles, boxed control arms all around, all adjustable arms and some serious pro comp 13″ ksport big brakes on all 4’s with XXR 527’s wrapped in Nitto NTO-5’s.

With all this done Eric will have a car fully capable of running Formula D with an extremely competitive chassis. This will not only allow Eric grow as a driver but will also open more doors to bigger and better things with the “SLIDEZILLA” drift family and sponsors. 

Everyone at Zero Clearance is anxiously looking forward to seeing this thing put down a fresh set of tracks on the 2013 drift season. We also have a few new things up our sleeve for the Chicago scene. Including Stretch Your Legs X!
