The Delivery



Kinda corny video. i was pretty psyched to see this when i first saw the trailer. but it let me down. just some half assed drifting in a parking lot and a corny script. would have been a cool video to just stumble across, but with all the hype behind it and advertising they did i was really expecting more.

1000hp Scion FRS Drift Car




we can all assume that this, The 2013 year of Formula D is going to be crazy. everyone is going to have CRAZY horse power and crazier cars. Im both very excited to see all the craziness, but at the same time disappointed to see the original true spirit of drifting die here in america.  its seems that Formula D is just trying to make drifting a spectator sport and there is no limits or restrictions allowed. they clearly want to just make it a show so more people will come and spend money at events. i know that this is a touchy subject and i know it is also a double sided sword. from a business aspect i can see why all this is important, but from a fan or real drifting its kinda getting outta control. what happened to drifting with 300-400 horsepower. what happened to crazy close tandem runs. whats next 2000 horsepower... lets let the real driving aspect of drifting be the skill to winning not just having a huge amount of power. 

any how this car that is going to be driven by Otto Graven and it has some seriously sweet stuff going on. you can check out the build here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25217

RB25sx updates

                           Here are some long awaited updates on my car, i know i took a few month hiatus from blogging but im now back with a vengeance. Just because there were no updates doesn't mean i wasn't working on my car, i was actually quite busy. since ever had crashed his s13 and decided to go 14 i was able to get his stuff that he couldn't use on the 14 build. Thanks a MILLION bud. So here is what i have done.
Evers old subframe with max solid bushing and tanabe sway bar
Evers rear over fenders
Evers front PSM knuckles
I also got ambitious and decided to extend my lower control arms. the last event i was having real bad outer shoulder wear so i thought that maybe if i extended my lower control arms i would get more camber so at full lock i would have a better contact patch.But when i extended my lower arms i opened a whole new can of worms, since instantly my greater camber was causing serious rubbing issues on my fender wiring harnesses so i had to take the whole dash out and reroute the fuse boxes into the car. This is actually easy and can be done with out cutting any part of the harness, you can do it with radiator and engine still in the car. start on the passenger side by where the ecu is mounted, and remove the three white plugs that are connected to the harness that comes from the passenger wheel well.you will need to unbolt you ecu and move it to access these plugs, then go outside by the passenger wheel and pull the harness out from inside the car. Then start disconnecting the main fuse box wires, then start pulling that box out and follow the wires removing the headlights, turn signals, light motors, and horn wires if you have them. then unbolt the radiator brackets and pull the radiator back a little and pull the wiring from off of the upper core support. then you get to the drivers side fuse box, you shouldn't have much of anything actually plugged in there. then stop there and go to inside the drivers side of the car and get a 10 mm and unbolt the fuse panel and resistors that are bolted in. then disconnect all the wires attached to you steering column then pull those all out so they just sit on the drivers floor. mind you the dash must be out. then this is the hardest parts cause you need to move around a lot of thick harnesses and you should see the light in the hole in the fender where the harness comes through then have some one go on the outside by the drivers wheel well and pull lightly while you feed it from the inside and it will all fit right through the hole in your fender with out any modifications just be aware that there is some sound deadening that you need to break away to enlarge the hole and the harness will come right out with no cutting. then the rest is obvious just reconnect and you have to extend you headlights, turn signals and brake master cylinder wires since obviously all the plugs are now in the car. you will also need to extend you lower harness and some other wires and from the harness. but just take it slow and do one group of wires at a time. sorry if thats all a little jumbled or miss punctuated.
the other thing i did not realize was i would have to get longer tie rods since i extended the lower arms 35mm so i had to order the max inner tie rods since they are 20mm longer then stock s14 ones.
 Tie rod looks a little bent but its only cause of the wide angle lens.













 You can see the lack of fuse boxes.




 and one more of the garage and evers build.


Evers New Build

                              Well as most of you know, since your reading this so you must follow the blog or live in Vegas. Ever crashed his car during the practice or the last practice event. so he has recently started a new build for 2013, here is whats going on so far.



 All new PSM front knuckles, FLCA's, Tie rods, and Eccentric steering rack bushings.


 Fully stich welded engine bay. custom from power brace and gold spray paint. no need for tubs they are only for daily driven cars or people making there shit all bling bling.





Totally Gutted interior. Sound deadening removed, roll cage base plates and strut tower plates in place, drivers side stock seat mount removed to make the seat sit as low as possible,




Rear sub frame with max solid subframe bushings, more gold paint and custom welded rear solid diff mounts.
if you didnt notice this build is a 14 not a 13 like he previously had. stay tuned for more.

2012 Review from David O'Leary on Vimeo.

very cool video im glad to see street drifting in it too.


BenSopra 380SX















This is easily my most favorite ca right now the styling is raw and aggressive looking, Very functional it was designed to break the record for top speed. It is a car built specifically to be sent to Nardo in Italy in an attempt to set a high speed record. 400 km/h is the goal. that rocket bunny kit is off the chain. 

i just wanted to compile some pictures so everyone could bask in its greatness.
