Drift car summer build

[Jiminee]

I have always wanted to do a traditional Initial D style Panda Hachi Roku so I may request one for my birthday in August.

Maybe thats a great idea, build an Initial-D car or your own custom drift car dunno

Hert is a very entertaining fella, though I find most of the videos those guys film at that loading dock to be fairly boring, I much rather the ones where they're out on the track getting up to shennanigans Did Hert end up swapping his rx back to rotary from ls? I think I heard something about that. Also he's got a mate who's wheelchair-bound and does drifting with only hand controls, that's is insane to me! I think it's a 240 that guy drives.

I know what you mean there. I really got into it and then they became stale. Hert and Rob in “the unprofessionals” was so good but I haven’t watch season 2. Hert did take his turbo 5.3L LS out and stuck a rottary engine back in his RX7. Rob is incredible what he does when he’s in a chair. One ep he 3D scanned under Hert’s car so he could build something for the car (I’ll have to try n find it now)

Once the loading dock skids got boring. Ryan Litteral done “the man line” which made it interesting again. Drift up the ramp, into a tight J turn and drift back down it. Seen a few cool drift cars there now but the static burnout are boring!!!

I think there 18 eps on the C6 and most are 20 minutes long. It kept me busy for 3-4 nights

Sounds good to me Jiminee a panda 86 would look great too!!

Been changed shift so I only have 2 days off instead of 4 this time and probably won’t add anything new here until next weekend now. I’ll try for some Japanese built content or maybe New Zealand cars question

The live action Initial D movie is what made me wanna build some older Japanese cars Jiminee, I absolutely love that AE. It's a shame they didn't really have any older Japanese stuff in Tokyo Drift

As for the Hoonigan Grage videos, some where very cool just to see the cars close up.... That turbo old pickup and the Church Equipped Ecoline were muy calliente! What they were doing to that miata was just kinda boring to me though, making it a little gocart type deal. That older Bimmer they worked on was cool and the last I saw of that Holden yoot they were changing the dash or something. And the Asian dude and Hert are very funny They do post a lot of content so it's cool that there's always a backlog of videos to trawl through.

Stancenation posted a cool grass root Japan event here's my favorite pics

Grassroots. Little less politics involved, and a lot more passion. The annual DoriDore event is everything you would possibly want to see in Japan. From incredible cars displayed as show vehicles to seeing the same vehicles going 100+ sideways later in the day. On top of that, it’s all hosted at the infamous Motoralnd Mikawa! This has always been one of our favorite events, and it’s going 5 years strong

I really like this Toyota Crown

Love it! There's some drop-dead gorgeous cars in those pics!

[Luke]

Thanks for the pics and info.

Like a few of the Nissan S chassis.

I’ll try and do a mix of New Zealand cars and some Australian content next time.
