#3 - You can't escape the Drift Patrol [EN]

Searching for a new report, we ran into Rui Marques. Since little he began to develop his taste for engines. After competing with Kars and later bikes, he’s now knee-deep into a Drift Project, pulling the lever in a Datsun 720!

 

With the Cargo-Box removed, balance became a problem…

…or maybe an advantage!

The Engine is completely stock, a 2.2 Diesel with the application of a…

… Turbo coming from a Mercedes-Benz V6!

To help the cooling, a second radiator was added in the back, with an inclination for the ‘curves’.

The interior was completely stripped and only the necessary was left behind.

In addition of the Sticker Bomb, the dashboard was modified to shelter some extras, like the Turbo and  Water-Temperature Gauges.

Safety was not forgotten, 4-Point belts were added, two competition-seats and a Roll-Bar in the rear.

Rui counts with the support of his father in every competition he’s in, reigning good disposition between them two!

And like this we have to dismiss us and let them chase the Bad-Boys.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity, and good luck!
