bn series full bodykit
DuPont chroma-base paint (Hyundai genesis lime green with silver gold and blue pearls) painted by me and my friend jason aka jamanji, lol

all the work done on this car was done by me and me alone, i got the shell for 500 with no engine and turned it into this. i have been drifting locally for 3 years now, i use to have a s13 hatch with a couple of single cam ka24 turboed engines, i kept blowing them and ended up switching to sr platform, then crashed the red hatch while drifting i hit a pole at 60 mph sideways (totaled). got the shell and transferred the engine, since then i have been going to all the local tracks like : osw (Orlando speed world), pbir (palm beach international raceway), desoto speedway in bradenton, and my favorite cfrc ( central florida racing complex) i have been drifting there since it started. also got invited to homestead in miami for february, and this past weekend i did a drift show for stunt wars. my car was more of a daily without the cage, and even though i dont drive it as much  still drive it to meets and car events, but its turned more into a racecar than anything, i am working on over-fenders tomorrow after tapping the wall at cfrc. lol

i am looking for sponsors to try and make it to xdc and even fd events in the upcoming year,

 next upgrades to be done is cams, injectors, z32 maf and enthalpy tune, and bigger wheels for better traction.
