Last November, team Evil Bunny Racing picked up an S13 Coupe to build a drift / autoX / track car. We named her Akurei. Shortly after starting work on the car, we decided to create a video blog and track the build progress of the car. Work has just started, so progress is light.

current status (01/14/2008):

Stock KA
Fresh Manual Swap w/ Spec Stage 2 Clutch
Stance GR+ Coilovers
Sparco Deep Dish Wheel
16x8 +20 Rims

Pictures when we bought the car:








The first video was a last minute decision, and we forgot to bring a camera. It was done with a camera phone, and the quality is terrible.

In this video we sand the chassis down in preparation for the next step in the process.

I will keep this page updated as the car progresses.

What exactly does Akurei mean? Knew a guy who's forum tag was that and ran a MSG site, Zaku.us and just always wondered what it meant.

 

We picked the name after researching some Kanji - it means "Evil Spirit".

 

Pretty interesting name then, and good work so far! Taking off the tar in the cold definetly not the easiest thing to do though lol.
