  What's going on guys? Welcome back to another episode
• 0:02
  of Faction Motorsports After Hours podcast.
• 0:05
  On this episode we have our final podcast from our final
• 0:10
  bout trip. For this one we this was pretty
• 0:13
  much, you know, we picked up Malcolm and Jen from the airport
• 0:17
  and we were able to be graced with Malcolm's presence on this
• 0:22
  podcast. To help us with all the audio in
• 0:24
  the video, we drove up to Green Bay, WI where we met up with
• 0:28
  Kevin, Brent and Matt of Bayside St.
• 0:30
  Club. These guys were awesome enough
• 0:33
  to have us do the podcast right in Matt's garage surrounded by
• 0:36
  literally all their drift cars. This was right before they were
• 0:39
  going to drive to final bout, so we caught them basically right
• 0:43
  before they left for the trip. It's not very far from them.
• 0:46
  I think it's about an hour, which is Malcolm just looked at
• 0:51
  me and told me it's 30 minutes, my fault, it's 30 minutes from
• 0:56
  the track. So that's a great place to live
• 0:59
  and we even got food in in Green Bay.
• 1:01
  It was honestly, it was pretty fun time.
• 1:04
  Me and Carl were completely smoked by this point in the
• 1:07
  trip, but I think we still managed to have a great podcast.
• 1:10
  I really hope you guys enjoyed this one.
• 1:13
  It was cool to experience. You know what these guys went
• 1:17
  through forming their own Drift Club in Green Bay, WI.
• 1:22
  And yeah, I was distracted by the ice cream truck a couple
• 1:25
  times, but I didn't get any ice cream.
• 1:28
  So hope you guys enjoy this one. Let us know how you liked it.
• 1:32
  Please leave us a review on Spotify and where I guess
• 1:35
  wherever you're listening to this iTunes, Spotify, YouTube,
• 1:39
  and yeah, enjoy. This podcast is sponsored by
• 1:45
  East Coast Drift School. East Coast Drift School is a
• 1:47
  driving school focused on learning the art of drifting,
• 1:50
  Conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in
• 1:53
  the United States, Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
• 1:56
  Raceway Park currently has three tracks, so you will have a few
• 1:59
  options to choose from when setting up your lessons.
• 2:02
  Chris Knapp, who is part of the Raceway Park family, will be
• 2:04
  your teacher as he guides you through car setup and technique.
• 2:07
  If you are more of a seasoned driver, E Coaster School is also
• 2:10
  the place where you can get some extra seat time.
• 2:12
  Chris allows private track time with no instructing as well so
• 2:15
  that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
• 2:17
  event or competition you have coming up.
• 2:19
  Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
• 2:21
  boys, consider signing up with East Coast Drift School the next
• 2:24
  time they release their schedule.
• 2:26
  Chris releases the schedule on the 16th of every month through
• 2:28
  Instagram. Make sure to check them out,
• 2:30
  give them a follow and shoot over a direct message when you
• 2:33
  are ready to set up a date. You can find them on Instagram
• 2:36
  at East Coast Drift School. This podcast is also sponsored
• 2:39
  by Automotive Specialty Raps. Looking to have your car ceramic
• 2:42
  coated or wrapped? Look no further than Automotive
• 2:44
  Specialty Wraps. ASW is a company specializing in
• 2:47
  paint protection, film, vehicle wraps, ceramic coatings and
• 2:51
  window tinting. Owned and operated by car
• 2:53
  enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
• 2:56
  of experience in the industry. They are located right off of
• 2:58
  Route 2O8IN Fairlawn, New Jersey.
• 3:00
  Other than window tinting, which is something we all need at some
• 3:03
  point, it was the ceramic coating that really caught my
• 3:05
  attention back when they reached.
• 3:06
  Out to us, this coating basically gives your cars paint
• 3:09
  extra UV protection while also making it shine.
• 3:12
  Wax only lasts a couple weeks at most, but ceramic coating lasts
• 3:16
  for a year or even longer. Honestly, this stuff is like
• 3:19
  witchcraft to me. Julian came down here one day to
• 3:21
  explain how it works and how it compares to wax and I was pretty
• 3:24
  stunned. They perform a full two stage
• 3:26
  Polish to the car beforehand just to make sure it's in
• 3:29
  perfect condition before applying the coating.
• 3:31
  As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
• 3:33
  protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
• 3:36
  tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic window tinting
• 3:40
  depending on your goals with the vehicle.
• 3:42
  Paint Protection film or PPF is a great idea for those new
• 3:46
  vehicle owners that don't want to watch their investment get
• 3:48
  littered with rock shifts. Also keep in mind they are
• 3:51
  capable of getting liveries designed and installed as well
• 3:54
  as full vehicle wraps. From protecting your tow rigs
• 3:56
  exterior to full livery installations on your drift car,
• 3:59
  they have you covered. You can contact them over at
• 4:02
  Automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure they give them a
• 4:05
  follow on Instagram at Automotive Specialty Wraps.
• 4:14
  All right. Well.
• 4:16
  Malcolm says it's good, we're good.
• 4:17
  Welcome everybody, to the Fashion After Hours podcast.
• 4:20
  This is, I don't even know, the 4th installment of our little
• 4:23
  trip here for final bout final. But and we're we're in
• 4:28
  Wisconsin. I thought that we were not.
• 4:31
  I thought we were in a completely different state
• 4:33
  apparently, or town or wherever. But we're here with Bayside.
• 4:38
  Kevin, Brent and and Matt, I almost called you Mike.
• 4:41
  Yeah, we we were supposed to come here and do a podcast with
• 4:43
  Matt, but then I had a feeling that it was going to turn into a
• 4:45
  Bayside one. So I was like, all right, that
• 4:47
  works too. Yeah.
• 4:48
  And I think that that's better. So thank you guys, 'cause now we
• 4:51
  have another episode to do at some other point.
• 4:54
  We well, we can dial that in for sure.
• 4:57
  We got all weekend yet. Is it?
• 4:58
  Is it Bayside St. Club?
• 5:01
  Originally that's what it started out as, but.
• 5:04
  'Cause I checked that Instagram and I'm like, it's not Bayside.
• 5:07
  Drift Team or Drift Club or anything.
• 5:09
  It's St. Club.
• 5:10
  Yeah, that's kind of that's good.
• 5:12
  That's what it started at, but. Yeah.
• 5:14
  It doesn't necessarily have to be that, but we everyone thinks
• 5:18
  I named it after the band, but it's.
• 5:20
  I didn't even know a band existed.
• 5:21
  Yeah, Bayside, I love that band. Yeah, they're from Long Island,
• 5:24
  so. I thought that it was like West
• 5:26
  Coast shit, like San Francisco. And I was like, oh, they're from
• 5:30
  the Bay Area. And then now I know where we
• 5:33
  are. And I'm like what the?
• 5:34
  Fuck no. It all derived from obviously
• 5:37
  being Green Bay, but really from like the Yokohama Bayside
• 5:40
  because that's what they call that area.
• 5:41
  And then like Bayside Blue on Skylines, like it just was a
• 5:44
  cool name. And being in Green Bay, that was
• 5:47
  like, well, I want to tie that in a little bit from the area.
• 5:50
  Shit. And you guys all St. drive your
• 5:53
  cars because they're all right here.
• 5:55
  We have Matt's car right here. Kevin's We have Brent, Yeah,
• 5:58
  and, like, pretty colorful. They're pretty colorful right
• 6:01
  now. They got some good stickers on
• 6:03
  it, like what's this Faction Motorsports sticker on?
• 6:06
  Here, jokers from out east. All right, I feel so far away
• 6:10
  from you. It's awesome.
• 6:12
  Stay that way. No, I'm just kidding.
• 6:14
  But so you got how how long have you guys been a team for?
• 6:18
  I think I started like the team in 2013, 2014, but it's kind of
• 6:26
  evolved over the time and like. We actually have a couple of
• 6:29
  guys on the team that aren't with us right now.
• 6:31
  Like they're not. They're at work or doing
• 6:32
  whatever, but. Having a life.
• 6:34
  Yeah, but so shout out those guys, but basically it's evolved
• 6:40
  a few times with different people and everything like that.
• 6:43
  But I think we've all known each other for probably 10 years now
• 6:48
  over that. I mean, Brent, I've known for a
• 6:49
  long time, but like Kevin, I met when I bought my FRS and stuff.
• 6:52
  Yeah, it was like 2013. Ten years, 10 years.
• 6:56
  Just forget that you had AFRS. Yeah, we can get into.
• 7:00
  We can get into all that too. He definitely like FRS.
• 7:03
  It looks sick, like. And then then you got this
• 7:06
  after, right? Yep.
• 7:06
  Yep. So you guys were friends 1st and
• 7:10
  then became a team second? Kind of like I had the team
• 7:15
  name, but I didn't really have a team.
• 7:17
  It was like around when the first final bout started.
• 7:20
  I was like, oh, team drifting, like that's really sick.
• 7:24
  I'm going to make a team, but it was really just me.
• 7:27
  You know, like, I have a feeling that was a lot of people's same
• 7:30
  story. Yeah.
• 7:31
  And then I just like and then I kind of got these guys all into
• 7:35
  going to events after I went to my first event and then it just
• 7:39
  kind of evolved from there, right?
• 7:40
  Wait, so YouTube, Brent and and Kev, you guys?
• 7:43
  Weren't into drifting for at first or it was Matt just as
• 7:47
  terrible influence on you both It was.
• 7:49
  It was all at the same time really kind of right like.
• 7:51
  Well, we met because we both had FRSS, but I was going to the I
• 7:55
  was going to US Air since 2011. 2000. 11 That's a while.
• 8:02
  Yeah, that's like that. That's about 12 years, brother.
• 8:04
  I, I, I actually did not do my first event until 2015.
• 8:09
  Oh, OK, yeah, yeah. So you're you're just spectating
• 8:12
  all the drifting and then eventually got your own shit?
• 8:16
  Feel like a lot of. And then Brent, what about you?
• 8:20
  I started like, yeah, you got to move the mic I.
• 8:23
  Started shortly after Matt. I'd say like year after
• 8:26
  spectating on basically what year was that?
• 8:30
  I think I bought my car and 19 or 16.
• 8:33
  No. 2014, I think OK, had it for I've had it for 9 years, so oh
• 8:39
  OK that that could be a that could be a bad thing you get
• 8:43
  into drifting about. To say like ours, everywhere.
• 8:46
  I mean, my setup at home isn't exactly, but I my I have two
• 8:51
  roommates and they're they're in a grip driving.
• 8:53
  So it I feel like if they were into drifting, it would be
• 8:56
  fucked and the house would be burned to the ground, tires
• 9:00
  stacked in the property value all the way down.
• 9:03
  Yeah. But thankfully, I don't know
• 9:05
  it's we had. A We had a duplex.
• 9:06
  It was me, Brent and then our other teammate Kevin.
• 9:09
  And that was originally like kind of the team for a little
• 9:12
  while. And yeah, the garage was full of
• 9:16
  tires. We always were moving cars
• 9:18
  around. Like it was kind of mayhem for a
• 9:20
  little bit, especially just starting out.
• 9:23
  Yeah, it was like. Mayhem.
• 9:25
  Yeah, I. Mean party, you know, party in
• 9:28
  there and then go to the track next day and like.
• 9:30
  You know, going to the bar the night before all that shit
• 9:32
  that's literally like the the life that everyone wishes they
• 9:34
  had with the Fast and Furious life.
• 9:36
  Yeah, House. It's like it wasn't DVD.
• 9:38
  Player You didn't. Realize you're doing it either
• 9:40
  like you're just being young and having cars and you know,
• 9:44
  whatever have disposable income because you're all splitting the
• 9:46
  rent, right? And then like at also at that
• 9:49
  time, tires weren't, you know, $150.00 a tire, it was $70.00 a
• 9:53
  tire, $60.00 a tire for a pair of cheap all seasons or
• 9:56
  whatever. So you know that was another
• 9:59
  cost that was. Different as well.
• 10:01
  So yeah, and we all low power, cheaper.
• 10:04
  Well not cheaper but low powered cars.
• 10:06
  So they didn't use a lot of tire too, you said?
• 10:07
  FRS was your first. Yeah.
• 10:09
  And then yours too. Kevin was FRS Yeah.
• 10:12
  Brent, you always had an IS. Yeah.
• 10:13
  IS was my first car IS best car but.
• 10:18
  Like so was IS you guys are obviously had manual trends I
• 10:22
  feel like everybody a lot of. The the answers about the FRS
• 10:26
  being a good car, I feel like it's just been solidified
• 10:28
  recently. It's a great car out the box.
• 10:30
  It's totally in my opinion. Perfect.
• 10:33
  If that was like, you're trying to get a car, 'cause I don't
• 10:37
  like Z's, that's that's the only thing.
• 10:38
  Yeah. But with the IS, was it manual
• 10:42
  already? Yep.
• 10:43
  OK. Were you able to were you guys
• 10:45
  all driving together and stuff? Not right away, OK?
• 10:49
  Damn. OK then.
• 10:53
  Like. We were a team, but we didn't
• 10:55
  know ought to be a team, you know what I'm saying?
• 10:58
  Like, it was like, we got the stickers, but like that said our
• 11:01
  team name. But it wasn't like we were out
• 11:03
  there banging doors right away. It was like, oh, should we tan
• 11:06
  them? I don't know.
• 11:07
  I guess like we just try. So you're learning how you guys
• 11:10
  are all learning how to drift. Yeah, like, you know.
• 11:13
  We knew the basics could link the track, but it was like
• 11:15
  learning to drive together, you know?
• 11:17
  I mean, we're still learning. We can all just we finally have
• 11:19
  work in cars for the first time in like a year or two.
• 11:22
  So it's like. We we really only bang doors on
• 11:26
  accident. As it should be.
• 11:30
  Yeah, that's that happens sometimes, I guess when
• 11:33
  especially when you're learning like.
• 11:35
  But why'd you guys get rid of the the FRSS?
• 11:38
  It's. Boring.
• 11:39
  Really. They're.
• 11:40
  Boring. I mean, I know what Matt did
• 11:42
  because he was on an S13. Wait.
• 11:43
  What? What?
• 11:44
  What makes them boring to you? I want to hear.
• 11:46
  Because you had one. It's giving somebody arguing
• 11:48
  about it on the Internet. They're.
• 11:49
  Kevin's opinions. I might not condone them.
• 11:54
  It's just like, it doesn't have that.
• 11:56
  I don't know, like, you know how when you get in a car and it's
• 11:59
  old and it like, it almost feels like it's like alive.
• 12:05
  Kind of like it has a personality, yeah.
• 12:08
  Yeah. Well, the FRS just doesn't have
• 12:11
  that feeling, I. Feel like?
• 12:15
  Damn, I thought that it was the opposite.
• 12:17
  I I would got get in there and since it was so low powered, I
• 12:19
  was like, oh OK, this. I have to kind of hook the shit
• 12:23
  out of this thing for it to work, yeah.
• 12:25
  You do but. It's, I don't know it was it was
• 12:27
  a great car or learning and driving it every day like I
• 12:33
  drove every single event, every club Fr event from 2015 until
• 12:40
  like 2019. Oh, wow.
• 12:43
  And then I bought an FC and I've driven like 4 events in three
• 12:47
  years. You said that earlier and and I
• 12:51
  was like, maybe he's just exaggerating, but since you said
• 12:54
  the same exact value again, now I know you're not exaggerating,
• 12:58
  no. It's.
• 12:59
  It's a year, man. Yeah, it.
• 13:00
  Pretty much always breaks like it breaks on it though, so why?
• 13:03
  Do you enjoy it? It's.
• 13:04
  Always something different like I went to.
• 13:07
  We did like a final belt gallery for just the special stage
• 13:10
  drivers because. COVID shut ours down.
• 13:15
  I went through like 3 alternators that day.
• 13:19
  What? Yeah, I found the problem and
• 13:20
  now it's got a Nissan Quest alternator in it.
• 13:23
  What was the problem? The body control module kept
• 13:25
  frying. That doesn't sound normal.
• 13:29
  Yeah, it's. Oh, shout out Tom, who just did
• 13:32
  an alternator last night. I hope you're all right, buddy.
• 13:35
  He's like he's got to spare like 13 of them in the truck, so I
• 13:38
  just. Heard that that was also his
• 13:39
  third one or second one or something like that.
• 13:41
  And I was like, yeah, got like 2 transmittance, a division,
• 13:45
  everything. I don't.
• 13:45
  Know but so if it keeps breaking on you, why do you stay his
• 13:53
  favorite? Car keeps bringing him back.
• 13:55
  He's coming back. Just.
• 13:56
  Loves the pain. Yeah, I mean it's like, what is
• 14:00
  that word I'm looking for? But like you were talking about
• 14:02
  the 80s cars or 90s cars and like the old feeling, yeah,
• 14:06
  it's. Got.
• 14:06
  I guess soul is the word. Yeah.
• 14:08
  If you get into FRS, it's like it's kind of just feels like
• 14:10
  it's a production car thing. You get in it and it feels like
• 14:14
  a you're just like in a Corolla. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:17
  But then you have people like David Bob, are you familiar with
• 14:20
  David Bob for Toggle Line And well, The thing is Matt's car
• 14:24
  was sick too. So, like, you can make them
• 14:27
  cool, but I feel like that's that thing you're talking about
• 14:30
  is like, probably still not going to be there.
• 14:33
  I don't know. I never owned one.
• 14:34
  I want a GR86. But you know, they're.
• 14:36
  They're a lot better. Yeah, they they look better.
• 14:40
  But I feel like the interior, you're still going to have that
• 14:42
  problem where you're like, this is all modern, you know, Like, I
• 14:45
  still feel like I'm in a Corolla.
• 14:46
  Yeah, you. Need a You Need a vinyl
• 14:48
  dashboard? True.
• 14:50
  Is that the? Is that the requirement?
• 14:52
  Yeah. You need to be.
• 14:53
  Able to crack in the sun. Yeah.
• 14:58
  The it's. I don't know.
• 14:59
  I I don't know if it's the tech. Or what have you in that car.
• 15:02
  But I don't know, I I thought that it was a good best of both
• 15:06
  worlds. So I was like, oh, that might be
• 15:07
  that's that's a great car. But I guess you had to add the
• 15:10
  soul, add a little bit of seasoning in there, salt, pepper
• 15:13
  and all that. And then you get a cool car.
• 15:16
  But and then now Matt, you have an S13 and it's absolutely
• 15:20
  beautiful. And if you're tuned into our
• 15:21
  YouTube portion, you'll be able to see it.
• 15:23
  But like, wow, they're all the cars together.
• 15:26
  Like they're kind of the same, but different.
• 15:30
  Literally like this is an Sr. that's a Rotary and then the
• 15:34
  back one is a four door sedan. The the only thing I notice is
• 15:37
  that mats is pretty much slammed like and then they get like
• 15:40
  taller as as you go. Are they a little bit?
• 15:44
  A little bit? FF CS have like such small front
• 15:48
  wheel wells that like if you have them super low, it just
• 15:52
  hits everything. Yeah.
• 15:53
  And and as you know what the rear suspension on them is.
• 15:57
  Yeah. Duper.
• 15:57
  Weird very. Weird.
• 15:58
  Now you can ask him your your FC question.
• 16:01
  Which one? Why?
• 16:02
  Is the rear suspension so archaic?
• 16:04
  Oh yeah, I mean, we were talking about this with the breaking
• 16:06
  guys too, but I mean, they were saying it, it feels pretty good.
• 16:10
  It does. And.
• 16:11
  What's nice is like NS chassis will gain camber as it
• 16:16
  compresses with having a trailing arm suspension.
• 16:19
  It doesn't gain camber if I set it at negative.
• 16:23
  Half a degree. It's a negative half degree all
• 16:26
  the way through the stroke if it's set up properly.
• 16:28
  OK. So that's a big, big positive
• 16:30
  and. With a trailing arm, it the toe
• 16:32
  curve, I think it toes in more under compression.
• 16:36
  I believe that's why the E36 people, always one of my close
• 16:40
  friends has a fucking E36 and that's the argument we always
• 16:43
  have is like mid corner forward bite.
• 16:45
  That thing is gone so quick and I never understood that because
• 16:48
  I'm not really a mechanic. I don't know if you guys know
• 16:51
  this, but I literally do not work for Frankie.
• 16:53
  Some people ask me that Carl keeps saying this every time we
• 16:56
  do a podcast. I'm.
• 16:57
  Letting everybody know because I just love Frankie.
• 17:00
  I'm just here for Frankie, but. Again, no that that trailing arm
• 17:04
  set up. I didn't even know that the RX7
• 17:06
  was like that. Yeah, I mean it looks so weird
• 17:08
  underneath, but. And then like the diff in the
• 17:11
  subframe around like one piece. Like a Miata.
• 17:15
  Yeah. Just like a Miata, yeah.
• 17:16
  And I got to look at, yeah, you mentioned our product with
• 17:19
  breaking. And the front suspension, I
• 17:21
  don't know about what it looks like on this, but it on FDA
• 17:24
  looks like a Miata. Is it the same like Double
• 17:27
  Wishbone? Nope.
• 17:27
  This is a McPherson strut, just like an S13, OK?
• 17:31
  Damn. So if you think about it, that's
• 17:33
  a good formulae right there. You got the stuff that the E36
• 17:37
  people jerk off about, and then you have your S13 front
• 17:40
  suspension, but it rotates differently than an S chassis.
• 17:42
  I hear it's more like a Miata, yeah.
• 17:44
  They're they're shorter wheelbase and like you sit
• 17:48
  basically on the rear axle, so when you do transition it feels
• 17:51
  like a lot. OK.
• 17:53
  I never really put that into consideration actually, that you
• 17:56
  do kind of sit further back. Yeah, I.
• 17:59
  Like the FC? I like.
• 18:01
  More than the No way I. Do I do stock for stock, stock
• 18:09
  for stock if you pull an S13 hatch?
• 18:12
  And an FC out from the factory, they looked.
• 18:15
  This is where the table divides. Right here.
• 18:17
  Right here. Yeah, but.
• 18:19
  You got it up there. Like you were saying, but that
• 18:21
  was like considered a supercar for that brand was.
• 18:24
  It. This was pedestrian car for a
• 18:26
  secretary. Secretaries.
• 18:28
  That's right. I.
• 18:28
  Guess I'm comparing like a fucking spicy grapefruit to like
• 18:31
  a like a banana or something like a less cool fruit.
• 18:39
  What? You know what?
• 18:39
  I. Mean.
• 18:40
  Like you, I guess I shouldn't really be comparing the two.
• 18:43
  No, I mean, I I would, But what he's saying, yeah, you might be
• 18:46
  right. I mean was this was this like
• 18:48
  the supra? Yeah, Mazda, yeah.
• 18:51
  I think so, but it's up to Kevin to well, I mean.
• 18:54
  The real. That's mad at me.
• 18:56
  That tells you is the price like how much did that cost when it's
• 18:59
  new versus how much the Super cost, You know what I mean?
• 19:02
  Cause a 300ZX was probably $1,000,000.
• 19:05
  So I would assume a super, I don't know, I have the number
• 19:08
  like 40,000 in my head, but I maybe I'm wrong like somewhere
• 19:11
  around there when you. Convert it like to today's
• 19:13
  dollars. It's probably something like
• 19:15
  that. OK.
• 19:16
  So even back then, you think it was like 60 or oh?
• 19:19
  Well, no, I don't. I think, I think it was like 40
• 19:22
  Malcolm. Can you find out or you don't
• 19:23
  have Internet, right? OK, I kind of, I kind of am
• 19:27
  interested in this. Just look up Supra, Mark 4,
• 19:30
  Supra RX7 FC and 300ZX. We have Malcolm now, by the way.
• 19:36
  Yeah, we have Malcolm. This is amazing, Malcolm.
• 19:38
  Joined us. Everybody give a hand from
• 19:40
  Malcolm. Yeah, look at him, OK?
• 19:48
  40 K oh nailed that and. Is that in?
• 19:51
  Is that in? That's in that time, I think.
• 19:53
  And that times dollars, OK. So then that would probably be
• 19:56
  like 60 grand now, yeah. Do I hear an ice cream truck?
• 20:01
  Yeah, the ice. Cream truck is can we get that?
• 20:03
  If they come down the street they've been driving around and
• 20:05
  not if you hear an ice cream truck.
• 20:06
  Can we pause it? Are you for real right now?
• 20:09
  I'm dead ass serious, OK, just just.
• 20:13
  Fucking God. Who the hell are you, dude?
• 20:16
  Dude, this is like the best podcast we've done yet as far as
• 20:19
  environments are concerned. We're outside.
• 20:22
  I got AI, got my own mic stand that I can like relax you.
• 20:27
  Know I'm not like on the table. For Arc 7.
• 20:32
  Oh, what a bargain. And then a 300 ZXI want to know
• 20:36
  that one Z32I. Bet FD was expensive.
• 20:40
  Yeah, yeah. Oh, and that's what we should be
• 20:42
  comparing it to. Yeah.
• 20:44
  So you got to look up an FD arc seven.
• 20:45
  Yeah, 'cause. FC was like from 86 until 8991.
• 20:52
  Thought. 93 was first year for FD or was it 92 there was a year
• 20:55
  in? Between, Yeah, So if we're
• 20:56
  talking like, yeah, so FC. So then you'd be comparing it to
• 20:59
  like a Mark 3 Super. And that shit was probably like,
• 21:01
  not a lot of money, so. Mark three?
• 21:03
  Yeah, There. Well, I met this guy the other
• 21:07
  night. He had us over Lee from Proceed.
• 21:10
  Yeah, he had a Mark 3 Super. Yeah, that's probably the only
• 21:13
  Mark 3 Super I've ever seen Not sitting in somebody's backyard.
• 21:19
  Oh, really like you, I feel like.
• 21:20
  The Mark 3 Super they had, they were plagued with that head
• 21:23
  gasket issue of the Seven MGTE. They just like to blow up like
• 21:27
  it's inevitable. And when you sit, when you hear
• 21:30
  something like that, you're like, damn, why is that sitting
• 21:32
  there? And you're like, oh OK, the head
• 21:34
  gasket probably went. I was kind of crazy when he got
• 21:36
  rid of that car 'cause he like put a lot of work in that car he
• 21:39
  had. That car for so long like, I
• 21:41
  mean, it was like he had that car for a long time when I got
• 21:44
  into drifting and. Like.
• 21:46
  You know, would look at old videos of it.
• 21:49
  You know when it was like blue and it had S13 bumpers on it,
• 21:51
  you know that he like cut up to make work and you know and then
• 21:54
  like and then it became black and then it was Gray.
• 21:58
  And you know, the last iteration, it had a lot of stuff
• 22:02
  done to it to like make that a decent car, you know, and the
• 22:05
  crazy. Thing is that, like when it's
• 22:07
  tandeming with people for some reason, it looks huge, like it's
• 22:12
  really long. That's why I don't like when I
• 22:14
  would see them drifting. I'd be like that car doesn't fit
• 22:16
  to me, but people liked it, but I was just like that car doesn't
• 22:20
  it's? Different, yeah, it's different.
• 22:21
  But he but now he's got FRS so it's like another another
• 22:24
  different car and he drives the. Shit out of that?
• 22:26
  Yeah, it's very unique. Malcolm's got the answer.
• 22:30
  Yeah. All right.
• 22:33
  So they're all like all those like 90s cars are like 40,000.
• 22:40
  Damn. OK, so you.
• 22:41
  Sticky walks. Yeah, that's.
• 22:43
  Fucking cheap. Are you sure?
• 22:44
  Hey. Man, that's crazy.
• 22:48
  And now and now it's the opposite.
• 22:52
  The FD is the most expensive or you can't say it in the most
• 22:55
  smart. Force.
• 22:56
  Yeah. Yeah, that's but then the
• 22:58
  fucking 300ZX is like, whatever, yeah.
• 23:00
  People still don't, they're hard to work on and it's like it's
• 23:03
  kind of a niche car cuz it's like.
• 23:05
  Different style than the other ones, yeah.
• 23:07
  They do have the nicest interior out of all of those cars, yeah.
• 23:11
  There's a there's a really nice 30, exactly three shots that did
• 23:14
  this car. It's just like parked in the
• 23:16
  corner. It's like I I do love those cars
• 23:18
  I don't know about for drifting. I feel like that car would would
• 23:22
  move like an RX7 'cause you know how the IT seems short or like
• 23:26
  where you sit is comparable, but it's fucking way heavier I'm
• 23:30
  sure, so the. The one at the tuning shop that
• 23:32
  we saw me and Kevin were looking at, I'm like, you know who would
• 23:35
  like this? Frankie.
• 23:37
  Yeah, I I think they're cool. Like for a highway car or
• 23:39
  something, Yeah. This was set up.
• 23:40
  It was all black exterior, black wheels.
• 23:43
  Like it had some sort of kid on it, I think, right, Kevin?
• 23:45
  But then the interior was like Immaculate all brown leather
• 23:49
  peanut. Butter.
• 23:49
  Brown. Oh yeah.
• 23:50
  Yeah, everything like still perfect condition and the whole
• 23:53
  interior like slides down and like it's like it's.
• 23:56
  All fighter jet style, yeah, it's fire jet style, but it's
• 23:58
  like super angled, which is like kind of weird.
• 24:01
  Like I think the Mark 4 Super is probably the one of the best
• 24:03
  interiors as far as the 90s go. But then you got like the FD and
• 24:07
  you got that car. They're all like similar the
• 24:10
  same like fighter jet type. Yep.
• 24:12
  Deal. And even the the DSMS at the
• 24:14
  time too. Tried to like, yeah, like that
• 24:16
  as well, dude. I love that about those cars.
• 24:19
  That's probably one of the main reasons I like the second Gen.
• 24:21
  Eclipses, and that's what. Me and my friends all had in
• 24:23
  high school was DSMS. And yeah, I love the way those
• 24:26
  cars are inside. All right?
• 24:28
  So you mentioned you had a DSMI. Kind of want to know what is.
• 24:32
  Like. Like the like the like, the
• 24:35
  region that we're in, I've noticed is way different than
• 24:39
  where we're from. So I kind of want to know what
• 24:41
  it's like to try to get into cars when you guys were growing
• 24:44
  up in this area, 'cause every time I look around, I just see a
• 24:47
  bunch of real estate and I'm like, I could drift there.
• 24:51
  Yeah, so many empty lots on the way like.
• 24:54
  What was that light growing up? I guess is did it make it like
• 24:58
  sick? I mean we didn't really get into
• 25:00
  drifting till later but it is hard to St. around here.
• 25:03
  There's a lot of cops like like per how many people live here.
• 25:06
  I mean Green Bay is a city alone.
• 25:08
  Not counting the the like different smaller cities that
• 25:12
  are connected to it is 100,000 people.
• 25:14
  So and we have like a crap ton of cops.
• 25:18
  Not because it's like crime ridden, it's just that they.
• 25:21
  Police the hell out of this area, you know, So like if you
• 25:24
  wanted to go Streeting, it's kind of pretty easy to get, you
• 25:28
  know, popped like if I mean. So it's really not the best
• 25:32
  place. It's not like Chicago, Like I
• 25:33
  went down to Chicago one time and was driving with some of
• 25:36
  those guys and like, allegedly. Allegedly.
• 25:38
  You know, and yeah, it's like not, I don't want to say it's
• 25:42
  not a big deal, but it's like, yeah, it's different.
• 25:45
  I guess the more people you have in an area, the easier it is
• 25:48
  than. Yeah, allegedly.
• 25:51
  We've done it, yes. It's it's possibly happened.
• 25:55
  There's a bee attacking call. It's possibly happened.
• 25:58
  I will say it out in the if you're out in the countryside,
• 26:01
  there's a lot of countryside and like roads that go forever and
• 26:04
  if you want to like top out your car, you can read that, like you
• 26:08
  can do that stuff for sure. Like this is the area for that.
• 26:10
  Yeah. And.
• 26:12
  But no, no, no, you're good. Carl, let's turn it back again.
• 26:16
  Trying. To get stung.
• 26:17
  By no, I mean of course I would warn you.
• 26:19
  Thank. You I wouldn't?
• 26:20
  No. You probably fucking wouldn't.
• 26:22
  I wouldn't, because it's not gonna sting you until you hit it
• 26:25
  like I did before. Damn.
• 26:26
  And I did kind of notice on the highway that there were a lot of
• 26:29
  cops, but I thought that that was just like it's the end of
• 26:31
  the month. Every weekend.
• 26:33
  Yeah. Labor Day weekend, yeah, but we
• 26:35
  do. We have state troopers on
• 26:36
  highways all the time. Like it's I've been getting
• 26:39
  lucky on the way here, you know? You got no front plate, nothing.
• 26:42
  90 miles an hour, 90 miles an hour the whole way in the.
• 26:45
  GMT baby doing just straight up 90 toppers can't.
• 26:49
  Allegedly. They're like, you know what he
• 26:51
  he's doing over, then he's doing over 70.
• 26:53
  We can't catch him. Yeah.
• 26:56
  Over 180 K, yeah. But damn, you, got you got big
• 26:59
  football fans. Oh yeah.
• 27:01
  Well, I mean. Me and Kevin Brent might just go
• 27:03
  for the beer. I don't know.
• 27:04
  But you think that's 'cause you you here and you have the Green
• 27:08
  Bay Packers and everything. It's.
• 27:09
  Tradition. I think some people like that
• 27:12
  are into cars around here. They could give two shits about
• 27:15
  football or anything. But me and Kevin are probably
• 27:18
  more of the rare ones, along with like Simba and some of
• 27:21
  those guys down from Chicago that are big Bears fans.
• 27:23
  Like it's kind of rare to actually be like deeply into
• 27:27
  cars and then also like care about football and like.
• 27:31
  Play fantasy football and do all that other shit too, you know?
• 27:34
  Yeah, I definitely have no interest in football.
• 27:36
  I. Know you don't.
• 27:37
  Yeah. Like, I don't think I've ever
• 27:39
  mentioned, I've I dabble in football from time to time,
• 27:41
  'cause it's fun to watch and it like, I don't know, it's fun to
• 27:44
  just get rowdy at a football game.
• 27:46
  Giant Indian is like down the street from us or.
• 27:49
  But they use it for everything now.
• 27:50
  They they use it for well, they use their Jets and Giants, Yeah,
• 27:52
  but. Yeah, do.
• 27:53
  You guys ever go to the supercross there?
• 27:55
  No, I didn't. I really want to though if they
• 27:57
  go. Back next year you should go.
• 27:58
  I mean, I've got. I've never been to Supercross,
• 28:00
  but watch it. Yeah.
• 28:02
  Watch it every year. Watch motocross and like, if
• 28:04
  it's that close to you, you should go.
• 28:06
  Yeah, I I want to. Someone hit me up and was like,
• 28:08
  yeah, we were down and watching supercross.
• 28:10
  Like what? Like they don't market that
• 28:13
  shit. Like you know what I mean?
• 28:15
  Like you don't even hear you guys would.
• 28:16
  Probably have fun at the Monster Jam when they go there, like the
• 28:18
  week before or the week after, 'cause it's.
• 28:21
  Feld, who owns both of those series, they tie all their
• 28:24
  Monster Jam and Supercross stuff together so they, like, do them
• 28:26
  a week apart so that they can save money on renting the
• 28:29
  stadium and having the dirt in there.
• 28:31
  But like, yeah, even that stuff, there's a lot of kid, like
• 28:34
  little kids there and shit, which is like weird he'll go,
• 28:36
  but like at the big stadiums, those trucks get so much air.
• 28:39
  It's crazy. Yeah, I would definitely watch
• 28:40
  it. The only thing that was cool
• 28:42
  about the being next to the stadium was on Sunday.
• 28:47
  The cops would be busy, so we'd just go drifting.
• 28:49
  I remember. Yeah, you were talking about
• 28:50
  that. Yeah, that was like the best
• 28:52
  thing. It still is.
• 28:53
  My car just doesn't run, but it's like a really good that.
• 28:56
  That would probably be the one time to go around here.
• 28:59
  Yeah, same reasons, but I'd be too busy watching the game.
• 29:02
  We. Would always just.
• 29:04
  Do that after the game on the way home, yeah.
• 29:07
  Well, yeah, yeah, do a couple of corners and dip like, yeah,
• 29:11
  stuff like that. You.
• 29:12
  Can't you can't hang around for more than like?
• 29:14
  Repasses at a spot and then you have to go.
• 29:18
  Yeah, we always call them like like that's a 10 minute spot.
• 29:21
  That's a 30 minute spot and then you get lucky if it's like an
• 29:24
  hour. But that that was very rare.
• 29:26
  But there were spots that were that you could go for an hour,
• 29:30
  but it was like then you get that one guy with a loud car and
• 29:33
  you're like, OK, you just turn this hour spot into a 15 minute
• 29:35
  spot. So, Miyagi.
• 29:39
  It's. It's me too.
• 29:41
  Any Rotary like, it's just like and it's weird.
• 29:44
  Like I always said, like we would go out and like my car was
• 29:47
  loud but with the external wastegate, but I'd be like.
• 29:51
  I feel like the Rotary noise just fucking echoes forever.
• 29:54
  It was so weird. Like I didn't.
• 29:56
  I didn't understand what it was, but you could tell like it.
• 29:59
  It just seemed like it would travel for miles compared to
• 30:02
  other exhaust notes. What's like the car scene around
• 30:06
  here? We we kind of.
• 30:07
  You gave me a preface earlier about it, but it's like I don't
• 30:11
  really understand the demographic.
• 30:13
  It's. Weird.
• 30:14
  Yes. So it's like there's.
• 30:16
  Our. Group, which is bigger than just
• 30:18
  us three. There's, you know, we got homies
• 30:20
  in our group chat. I mean where we got 20 people in
• 30:22
  there or something like that 4. 4/4. 15 or 14, yeah.
• 30:26
  And then there's like another group of dudes that also drift
• 30:29
  at US Air that like, have their own little core group.
• 30:32
  Then there's like the rest of the general population, which is
• 30:34
  just like we always joke that everyone's like 10 years behind
• 30:38
  in car stuff. Like around here.
• 30:40
  Like it's like when Stance was big in the was that mid 2000s or
• 30:44
  whatever, It took forever for people to like start doing that
• 30:48
  here. And by the time it was being
• 30:50
  happening here, it wasn't even in style as much as it used to
• 30:54
  be, you know to do it. And yeah, and it's it's kind of
• 30:58
  like a lot of like kind of beat. VQ cars and like some BMWs and
• 31:04
  like. And.
• 31:06
  Like Hondas and stuff. And you know, it's pretty much
• 31:08
  like any place. It's kind of all the same
• 31:10
  things, you know. But there is like random
• 31:13
  Skylines you'll see here and there.
• 31:14
  Like someone's got a real JDM like legit car.
• 31:17
  That's what I'm. Saying like it'll just be like
• 31:19
  random oh. Like the Endless S15 was
• 31:22
  imported to. Green Bay.
• 31:24
  We we can get into that. Yeah, like, wait.
• 31:28
  There's been like people with. Illegal R30 fours.
• 31:32
  Allegedly, I mean. I don't know who they are, you
• 31:37
  know? Yeah.
• 31:37
  I don't know. Who cares?
• 31:38
  Yeah. So to make a story out of that,
• 31:40
  that that guy he was, he was running a broker company with
• 31:44
  another company or another guy and they were like importing
• 31:48
  cars and this was like down the street from the house and he had
• 31:53
  like a white S15 like Spec R he had a a sore he had a black twin
• 31:58
  turbo supra. And then at one point around
• 32:02
  like 2008 when everything was like going bankrupt and shit and
• 32:05
  all the JDM companies were pulling out of California
• 32:08
  because they didn't want to have their their businesses out there
• 32:10
  anymore. So Endless was one of those
• 32:14
  companies and they were liquidating all their stuff in
• 32:16
  the USA shop and they had a track car like a time attack car
• 32:19
  that was built by a dude. It was in Super Street and
• 32:21
  everything and it was the IT was L Endless liveried up and had
• 32:27
  CUS arrow. It was like a real deal.
• 32:30
  Like it was built very JDM style but and and it was a show and
• 32:34
  display, a race car, you know. And so this dude you know
• 32:40
  brokered this car and it was down the street from my house
• 32:44
  and like people were telling me because they knew I was in the
• 32:46
  cars. And this is when I was in high
• 32:47
  school like a senior like yeah keep seeing this blue like race
• 32:50
  car at the gas station and I'm like what the fuck is this thing
• 32:54
  you know? So finally we go to.
• 32:56
  You know, one of those nights, like end up at the gas station
• 32:58
  to get Taco Bell or whatever, and that thing is sitting there,
• 33:02
  I'm like, holy fuck, because I was, I was already liked S
• 33:05
  chassis a lot. I just couldn't really, like,
• 33:08
  afford to have one and all that stuff.
• 33:10
  And I'm like, seeing this thing. I start talking with the dude
• 33:12
  and he's like, yeah, he's nice, but he was like the car.
• 33:15
  I'm like, how does this, I have the magazine with this car in
• 33:18
  it, you know, And it's right in front of me.
• 33:19
  And then, lo and behold, like a few months later, he ends up
• 33:24
  getting like a black R34. That had like silver T ES on it
• 33:28
  and he like rented a shop like in the city here and he had both
• 33:32
  those cars and then all of a sudden like shit went down and
• 33:36
  like not because of this guy but the feds showed up for a
• 33:39
  different reason than I'll get into.
• 33:41
  And this guy Olson like that, that endless car ended up in
• 33:45
  Florida like sold. Either he sold it before all
• 33:47
  this. I don't know the full story but
• 33:49
  that car got sold and then all the other cars disappeared.
• 33:52
  There was rumors going around in the scene that like.
• 33:54
  He dumped all the cars in the Fox River and all this crazy and
• 33:57
  like, no, no way did that happen.
• 33:59
  You know, so it's like all the illegal cars end up in Florida.
• 34:01
  Yeah. So they probably all did, but it
• 34:03
  was like, yeah, it was kind of hilarious and and if you know,
• 34:07
  somebody might be listening and know that whole story, you know,
• 34:10
  more in depth. But that was just from the
• 34:11
  outside. Like, what was the you said
• 34:13
  there was another reason the feds were involved.
• 34:14
  So the you know the Yellow, Fast and the Furious or Yellow.
• 34:19
  Car 33, Skyline from Fast and the Furious.
• 34:21
  Vince's car. Yeah, like the first one.
• 34:23
  Yeah, so that. Yeah, so.
• 34:26
  That that actual car was in our city.
• 34:30
  This dude bought that car like when it was dilapidated.
• 34:34
  And I'll back up a little bit. That car started as a drag car.
• 34:37
  And it was owned by this guy Sean Morris that worked for
• 34:40
  motor X and and so that car was a drag car and then Universal
• 34:44
  picked that car to be in the movie and they they graphics
• 34:47
  stood up and they only had that one car.
• 34:49
  They didn't have AI don't think they had a stunt car or anything
• 34:51
  for it. And then that car ended up after
• 34:54
  the movie like going in someone's garage or storage or
• 34:58
  something. And then this guy local here
• 35:02
  found it, Wanted that car forever, found it, was able to
• 35:04
  buy it. And then rebuilt it to movie
• 35:06
  spec. Like put the police scanner in
• 35:09
  it. Put the you know the roll cage
• 35:11
  you know put everything back. Got the graphics on it.
• 35:13
  You know the Troy Lee graphics on it.
• 35:15
  And then like did all the shit put the wheels on it and he had
• 35:18
  that car. And around the same time he
• 35:20
  bought a Midnight Purple R33 as well I.
• 35:23
  Just might as well, yeah. Bucket.
• 35:24
  And the the yellow skyline was called Big Bird Skyline and the
• 35:28
  midnight purple one, the yellow one wasn't registered, I don't
• 35:33
  think. And the Midnight Purple one, he
• 35:35
  somehow got a title for it by having a state trooper inspect
• 35:38
  it and then giving him a state title for it.
• 35:41
  Something like that. I just reread the story like a
• 35:42
  few weeks ago to kind of bone up on this a little bit.
• 35:45
  But, and eventually he was trying to sell the cars for some
• 35:51
  reason and a Fed was, you know acted as a buyer and was asking
• 35:58
  him as he if he could buy the car, buy the cars and.
• 36:01
  You know if you could get a title for him and this guy made
• 36:04
  the mistake of saying like yeah you can get a title for it and
• 36:07
  all this stuff. So then the feds like jumped on
• 36:09
  it and they like showed up and they start looking into his
• 36:12
  cars, his two cars. And mind you this is a separate
• 36:15
  guy than what I just told the endless S15 story about totally
• 36:18
  separate guy. Same city though and they show
• 36:21
  up to look at the cars he had the he had the you know the on
• 36:24
  the S13 or or Nissan. They have a little plaque on the
• 36:27
  firewall that just states like. It's got the VIN on it, but also
• 36:30
  states like where it was built, like all that other shit, he had
• 36:33
  those off of it, 'cause it got painted and he never put them
• 36:35
  back on. And they were like, what?
• 36:37
  That's the VIN. You can't take the VIN off.
• 36:39
  That's illegal. Like, that's super illegal.
• 36:41
  It's a felony. Like all this shit, Mind you,
• 36:43
  it's a felony. But that car is not AUS car, so
• 36:45
  it's yeah. And mind you, the VIN is stamped
• 36:47
  in the firewalls in the cars anyway, So he's like, well, I
• 36:51
  just didn't get time to put those back on and then they
• 36:54
  didn't care. They like seize the cars.
• 36:57
  And he had a bunch of counts against him, and it was like a
• 37:00
  big fight. Oops, it was a big fight.
• 37:02
  And then he was eventually pleading with the city that they
• 37:07
  should just export the cars to, like, Canada or something, or
• 37:10
  donate them to a museum, or sell them to a museum.
• 37:13
  Like any way that they could just get money they wanted to
• 37:15
  crush them or something and they.
• 37:16
  Just want to crush them and then they end up just crushing them.
• 37:19
  How stupid. Yeah.
• 37:20
  So. Stages don't exist anymore.
• 37:22
  Like his Midnight Purple One and the Big Bird skyline from Fast
• 37:25
  and Furious. No, the real One.
• 37:27
  The real one. When was this?
• 37:30
  1012 years ago, 15 years ago this.
• 37:33
  Is a while. Ago.
• 37:34
  Yeah. I was in like high school, so it
• 37:35
  was probably like 2008. And this is, I never heard that
• 37:39
  story before, yeah. Yeah.
• 37:41
  If you if you if you to get the full scope if you Google.
• 37:45
  Big Bird Skyline Crushed or like Fast and the Furious R33 crushed
• 37:48
  or whatever. Like you'll find a bunch of
• 37:50
  article like from Car and Driver and like a whole bunch of like
• 37:53
  legitimate publications that like wrote about all this
• 37:55
  because it was like, you know this one guy against the
• 37:58
  government. You know, trying to and just
• 38:01
  save the cars. Yeah, he didn't even.
• 38:03
  Care at the At one point, yeah. At the at the end he was like, I
• 38:05
  just whatever, like fuck everything.
• 38:08
  I don't care about the money anymore.
• 38:10
  Like I just don't want the cars crushed.
• 38:11
  And the city was like the city and the feds were like no.
• 38:14
  Crushed them and they just crushed them.
• 38:17
  That sucks. And the thing that, yeah, the
• 38:19
  car scene here is just random, well, yeah.
• 38:22
  Like that's, but that's like that was the crazy shit that
• 38:26
  happened in like forever. But it was like otherwise.
• 38:27
  It's like this scene was when I got into it was mostly just
• 38:31
  street racing and it was like WS6, Trans AMS and.
• 38:36
  Evos and GSGSXS and GSTS and what's the?
• 38:39
  WS6 Is that the Jelly Bean one that would?
• 38:41
  Be like Trans Am, right? Like a 90s one, Yeah.
• 38:44
  Like a late 90s, early 2000s, The ones behind us on the
• 38:47
  highway. Oh.
• 38:47
  With. The fucking.
• 38:48
  And then you re raised up the fucking.
• 38:49
  Nostrils. Fucking.
• 38:50
  He's like. Yeah.
• 38:51
  Yeah, we were listening to hood, like not hood music, but I love
• 38:55
  80s like would you call that techno?
• 38:58
  I don't know. It was like disco type of music.
• 39:00
  But at night, what do you call it That music fucking hits.
• 39:03
  Oh, house music. That's probably what you're
• 39:05
  Yeah. I mean, at one point that
• 39:07
  endless car did go to US air to like a club before drifting.
• 39:10
  He tried to drift it. He also tried to St. drift it
• 39:12
  once at one point and smoked the rim.
• 39:13
  It was like a really nice, like, deep dish raise.
• 39:17
  Yeah. You can't.
• 39:18
  That's a gram. Like 57 Pro, I think it was a. 5
• 39:21
  spoke one. It's a gram, like 57 pro.
• 39:23
  That's one of my favorite wheels ever.
• 39:25
  And I think it might be just 'cause I remember that car.
• 39:28
  Did you have that wheel car? No, what's funny is the other
• 39:31
  car with AK. I'm going to see him.
• 39:32
  He has them. There's another car with AK
• 39:35
  that's from around this area and he has an IS.
• 39:37
  That's why you always have to say with AK.
• 39:40
  It's it's wildly important, OK? And now, now, now just shows
• 39:44
  that you don't get it. I don't get it.
• 39:46
  You don't. Because your name is Frankie and
• 39:47
  you're boring. Oh, OK, Get with.
• 39:50
  Get with the car with the K Dude, you're just mad.
• 39:52
  There's only one way to spell Frankie.
• 39:55
  Can you? Spell any other?
• 39:56
  No. You can literally spell it now.
• 39:57
  There's probably. A weird one out there.
• 39:59
  With with AY, yeah. Is your birth name Frank?
• 40:03
  This. Guy.
• 40:04
  Knows. More than I know the.
• 40:08
  Podcast. That's.
• 40:09
  Awesome. They're my Thursday get through
• 40:12
  work. Yeah.
• 40:13
  Is it going to be weird to hear yourself on it?
• 40:15
  I'm not going to listen. To this one, it's.
• 40:17
  Probably. It's probably going to be the
• 40:18
  worst one anyways. Wait, why do you think the
• 40:22
  reason is that you guys are 10 years behind in it?
• 40:24
  Is there no Internet here? To me, I just think it's Midwest
• 40:30
  is always with anything. It doesn't matter what it is.
• 40:32
  It doesn't matter these. Cars come out of here, dude.
• 40:35
  Like, I look shit. Yeah, but that's 'cause we know
• 40:39
  people from Chicago. Maybe, I don't know, or maybe
• 40:42
  we're just nerds enough. I mean, it's not.
• 40:44
  I'm just generalizing too. I'm not saying it's like there
• 40:47
  isn't people that don't get it, you know what I mean?
• 40:49
  Those those two people I just talked about that had had that,
• 40:52
  those stories were about, you know, they were clearly very
• 40:55
  into JDM cars and like had legit stuff, you know?
• 40:57
  I. Feel like they had those cars
• 40:58
  here so that they they thought no one would find them.
• 41:01
  I don't know. I think they're all from here.
• 41:03
  Yeah, but I. Actually found out about
• 41:06
  drifting in like 2007, 2008, but that was because of playing
• 41:11
  Forza. And I just joined a random
• 41:12
  lobby. Yeah, and then I was just like
• 41:16
  playing Forza. 4. No, this was.
• 41:19
  Two. Or was it two?
• 41:20
  Yeah, I didn't. Even know, you said oh. 708.
• 41:25
  I didn't even. I don't know if I've ever played
• 41:26
  Forza 2. I played for earlier than that.
• 41:28
  I played Forza 123 and four Xbox.
• 41:33
  Those are 360. Yeah.
• 41:36
  Not. That Forza one was on the
• 41:37
  original Xbox I. Did play the Forza one game, I
• 41:40
  remember that, yeah. I remember when that came out, I
• 41:42
  think, But yeah. I was just, I just joined a
• 41:45
  random lobby and they were drifting and it was actually
• 41:49
  Ryan literal. Oh.
• 41:50
  Really. Yeah.
• 41:51
  I. Used to play Xbox with him a
• 41:52
  lot. It's so funny, yeah.
• 41:56
  There's a joke in our discord right now because I pronounced
• 41:58
  that guy's name so wrong I thought it was a Littrell for
• 42:01
  the longest time. Just.
• 42:04
  Because I feel like it'd be cool.
• 42:05
  You know, Ryan Latrell, it's actually literal.
• 42:08
  And I'm like, fuck, I feel like an idiot.
• 42:10
  Yeah. Latrell I.
• 42:12
  I saw that going on and I was interested.
• 42:14
  I started talking to them and then they introduced me because
• 42:17
  like, they're all West Coast dudes.
• 42:19
  So then they introduced me to like.
• 42:22
  Option video and all this other stuff.
• 42:24
  And so then I started like watching drifting, and then I
• 42:27
  wanted to buy an RX7 for my first car, and then I ended up
• 42:31
  with ADC 2 Integra. Little different.
• 42:35
  I. I still love the Integra.
• 42:38
  Yeah. They're they're like the perfect
• 42:41
  daily I love. You, Kevin, did you drift it?
• 42:43
  No that. Sounds like a weird question,
• 42:45
  but. No, I didn't even try, OK?
• 42:48
  I had ADC Two as well. It was black.
• 42:50
  It was probably. I would call that my first car,
• 42:52
  because I had a car before that and it was just hell.
• 42:55
  It was an Audi A4 that I bought for two grand.
• 42:58
  But that DC-2 Integra? Great car, tons of space, and
• 43:03
  like VTech when you're not really a very seasoned motorist
• 43:06
  like that shit sounds. Sick.
• 43:08
  You're like, oh just don't fucking.
• 43:11
  But. Like parts.
• 43:13
  Were cheap. I took the car mainly to auto
• 43:16
  crosses and like up into the mountain a few times.
• 43:19
  And like, I had AC in there. Sunroof would tilt, you know,
• 43:23
  and it was like a slide out like it would.
• 43:25
  And go back. Yeah.
• 43:27
  Oh yeah, dude, great car was yours with GSR?
• 43:30
  No. Oh, I do know the sunroof you're
• 43:31
  talking about, yeah. I had AI was doing the same.
• 43:34
  Thing Yeah, I. Love that.
• 43:35
  I was fortunate. Enough to have the GSR and like,
• 43:37
  I searched for that car. My dad helped me really bad.
• 43:41
  We found it on eBay. It was in Connecticut.
• 43:43
  The guy like, broke his leg and he was like, yeah, I can't drive
• 43:45
  this anymore. And gave him 3700 bucks for it.
• 43:48
  It was rust free, super arrow, straight black.
• 43:52
  Yeah, I. Think I I think I only owned
• 43:53
  mine for like 6 months and then I sold it and bought an FC.
• 43:57
  Quick with it, would you say it's because of when you got
• 44:04
  into Forza and stuff like that, that the Integra wasn't going to
• 44:07
  do any of that. So you're like, I'm done.
• 44:09
  Yeah, all right, very quick and easy answer.
• 44:12
  But no, I like that you asked if you drifted it because Josh
• 44:16
  from. Revgasm Josh.
• 44:18
  We just had a podcast with him where he talked about how that's
• 44:22
  how he literally learned how to do entries.
• 44:24
  Very unique story that I don't think anyone's gonna relate to
• 44:27
  like he was. Practicing entries with front
• 44:28
  wheel drives, dude, 'cause if if you if you think about it, if
• 44:31
  you pull that handbrake, you don't have the throttle to
• 44:35
  correct. You're literally just getting
• 44:37
  the car to like. He's going.
• 44:40
  Yeah, he's had the idea to do that.
• 44:42
  That's crazy. Yeah, I just.
• 44:43
  I just think that that's insane. But I think it's funny that you
• 44:46
  asked Kevin if he drifted it, yeah.
• 44:48
  Well, I was like, hey, I don't know, maybe it's a Midwest
• 44:50
  thing. I don't know.
• 44:52
  I mean, we we would do shit like that with front wheel drive, but
• 44:54
  it was in the snow and we didn't even know where it drifting.
• 44:57
  Yeah, I think Josh. Was saying he did it in the
• 44:59
  snow, too. We're just having fun, like
• 45:00
  screwing around. How'd you?
• 45:02
  Get into drifting that basically.
• 45:04
  I mean, I've seen it in magazines like when I was a kid,
• 45:06
  like around the Fast and Furious and stuff came out and you would
• 45:08
  like see the D1 USA like events in the magazine and stuff and
• 45:12
  know how to get into it. It didn't exist here, like,
• 45:16
  although I guess it did. I just didn't know that.
• 45:18
  Yeah, it was a small little. Group, yeah.
• 45:21
  And like always liked those cars.
• 45:23
  And then you know, But when I got my license, like at that
• 45:27
  point my sister had a Integra like the 1st Gen. 1 Like the
• 45:32
  boxy. One, Yeah, she had one of those
• 45:34
  that was all done up. Like she bought it from her
• 45:37
  boyfriend at the time and it was white, white wheels, like blue
• 45:39
  interior thing was like super Immaculate.
• 45:42
  And I was like GDM cars are like this shit, you know?
• 45:45
  So I like, I really liked that car.
• 45:46
  And then like, you know, Fast and the Furious and all that
• 45:49
  stuff. And then you were like.
• 45:51
  I got to be Brian Who? Who didn't want to be that guy?
• 45:54
  Yeah, dude. That car was sick but and then
• 45:58
  but then I like got really into DSMS and when, you know I had a
• 46:02
  couple of those in high school and everything and and friends
• 46:05
  did too. And we like going to the street
• 46:07
  races and shit and all that stuff didn't really race.
• 46:10
  I think I raced like one time with my buddy.
• 46:12
  But it's for fun. You had a.
• 46:13
  GST I had no I had a non turbo ESI Talent 95.
• 46:19
  It was sick. I put a 2G2GB Eclipse front
• 46:24
  bumper and side skirts on it and then I had replica RE30 wheels
• 46:31
  on it. It was sick.
• 46:32
  Lowered on Ibach lowering springs.
• 46:35
  And then after I graduated high school though I did buy a Talon
• 46:42
  TSI all-wheel drive. That's and like fix that up.
• 46:45
  That was like another that was a 96 so same body style as my 95
• 46:48
  and that car was a pile of shit and we made it look as good as
• 46:52
  we could. Me and my dad and and then this
• 46:57
  kid had an S13 for for sale and he's trying to trade it and I
• 47:01
  traded him even though everybody told me not to do it and the car
• 47:04
  was a complete pile of shit. It was leaking oil all over the
• 47:07
  place like it was the S. 13 was a pile of shit.
• 47:09
  Yeah, both cars were really not that nice, but I really wanted
• 47:13
  an S13, cause at this point I'm like, I really want to like get
• 47:17
  into building one of those cars. And 'cause I had gone to, I
• 47:23
  think I had gone to Weekfest in Chicago around this time.
• 47:28
  So I was like, OK, I finally saw a real legitly built cars.
• 47:32
  Like I saw. I didn't even know it, but I saw
• 47:35
  Risk, OG, Risky Devil at the time.
• 47:36
  You know what? Their cars were all there.
• 47:37
  I saw. Did Josh stay?
• 47:38
  With the with the 1918 stagger, yes, it was that car.
• 47:42
  It was the the Chrome wheels like the whole deal.
• 47:45
  I can see that. Ruining your life?
• 47:46
  Yeah. And then, like, Damon was there
• 47:48
  with his S13 at the height of his Zilvia.
• 47:50
  Like, you know, Build didn't know that I took pictures of all
• 47:53
  these cars, didn't even know who these people were, and then went
• 47:57
  home. And I'm like, well, fuck these
• 47:58
  DSMS. Like I need an S13, you know?
• 48:01
  And then so I took, like all my graduation money.
• 48:04
  I don't know, I had bought the TSI with the graduation money
• 48:07
  and then, like, had that for the summer, the TSI.
• 48:11
  And then towards the end of summer I was like, all right,
• 48:13
  I'm getting an S13. I'm going to trade this dude
• 48:15
  traded them. I was hyped on it.
• 48:20
  Get home. The car is leaking oil all over
• 48:22
  the place. My dad is absolutely irate cuz
• 48:25
  he's just like he is like what the fuck did you just do?
• 48:30
  And he's like, you got to trade back and I'm like, you're gonna.
• 48:32
  Trade it back. So I'm like, Oh my God, you're
• 48:35
  right. I do.
• 48:35
  And then so I'm driving back and I call the kid and the kids like
• 48:39
  whoa. I don't whoa We already traded
• 48:41
  like and signed titles and shit And then the kids like brother
• 48:44
  gets on and goes he ain't trading you back you guys it's a
• 48:46
  done deal like it's already you know like and I'm like what the
• 48:49
  fuck. So then I'm pissed Even though
• 48:51
  I'm in, I'm There's nothing I can do.
• 48:53
  Your. Dad.
• 48:54
  Was like, go trade it back, dude.
• 48:56
  Yeah, yeah, the whole thing. My dad's awesome, but it was
• 48:59
  just one of those dad moments, you know?
• 49:01
  And he's just like, you know, trying to look out for me, I
• 49:03
  guess. But, but yeah, we go back to the
• 49:05
  gas station and I'm calling the kid.
• 49:07
  He's not answering. Finally, I pull a Karen call, a
• 49:10
  cop, cop comes there, he talks to us.
• 49:12
  He goes, man, I can't. I can't do.
• 49:14
  Anything. He's like can't do anything for
• 49:16
  you, man. I'm really sorry.
• 49:17
  He's like, but he's like, here's his address.
• 49:21
  He's like don't don't tell anybody I gave that to you, but.
• 49:25
  Allegedly. That sounds like a big Allegedly
• 49:27
  didn't. But I didn't.
• 49:28
  Didn't do anything. So I was like, well, fuck, I'm
• 49:31
  just screwed, you know? So then I went home with that
• 49:33
  car tail between my legs and just sold it like a week later
• 49:36
  to this guy knew for like 500 bucks.
• 49:39
  Like lost a bunch of money. Just was it just a?
• 49:40
  Plain Jane S13 Yeah, it was like, it was like stock, but it
• 49:43
  had a bunch of weird shit, like a key wouldn't come out of the
• 49:45
  ignition, which is like a pretty common thing that those cars.
• 49:48
  But I didn't know anything about it and like it was leaking oil
• 49:52
  really bad and like it had a bunch of other random stuff done
• 49:54
  to it. Then this guy bought it that I
• 49:57
  sold it to for like 500 bucks. So I lost basically all my
• 50:00
  graduation money and lost the TSI, all this stuff on the car.
• 50:03
  Very learning moment. And then this guy drove it for a
• 50:08
  little bit, sold it to some other people and sold it to some
• 50:10
  other people, All people I knew and they told.
• 50:12
  I learned later on that car was a complete pile of junk.
• 50:15
  And like, it's good thing I none of that ever worked out because
• 50:18
  it went, it was never worth anything anyway.
• 50:21
  And then, yeah, after this whole deal, I went back to driving my
• 50:26
  ESI got a regular like Chevy Cobalt that I tried to stance
• 50:30
  out, and everything looked like a total American, hey?
• 50:31
  What? I'm sorry, Chevy Cobalt.
• 50:33
  OK I. Thought I heard you.
• 50:36
  I I put like XRS on it. Lower it's.
• 50:39
  Like, Oh yeah, this is a bad time in my life.
• 50:42
  All right, we're back. After quick little break and a
• 50:46
  technical difficulties, I think we lost the camera.
• 50:48
  Did we lose a camera? No, now we we got it back, OK.
• 50:50
  We got it back and now we're back.
• 50:53
  We have Brett because I'm, I'm going to pick on Brent now
• 50:56
  because you've been quiet. Well, do we want to finish the
• 50:58
  Cobalt store or do you? Want to Oh wait, Cobalt oh.
• 51:00
  Shit. That's right.
• 51:01
  XX on cobalt. Yo, you're good.
• 51:03
  You're not to Dick Mountain Grave on it.
• 51:05
  My brain is already fucking, but thinking about Little Caesars
• 51:09
  earlier, little. Caesars, that's what you're
• 51:11
  trying to eat tonight. I got some in the fridge, babe.
• 51:14
  Dude, ZAP pack. I want to try that out.
• 51:15
  Do you know what the ZAP Pack is?
• 51:17
  I'm going to die. On this trip.
• 51:19
  OK, Damien from car shop Karoshi Sorry tangent is he said that
• 51:26
  there's something behind the town shut.
• 51:29
  Up. It's the ice.
• 51:30
  Cream truck I don't. Care.
• 51:32
  I'm lactose. I'm lactose.
• 51:35
  Frankie is running towards the street to try to find the ice
• 51:39
  cream truck. Dude.
• 51:41
  The ice cream truck is going to run away from Frankie because
• 51:43
  he's getting charged at by full grown adult.
• 51:48
  What the hell were we talking about?
• 51:49
  You're talking about some ZAP ZAP secret food item food.
• 51:51
  Item. OK, so there's something called
• 51:53
  a ZAP pack, and it's like a seasoning packet and it's behind
• 51:56
  the counter and you got to ask for it.
• 51:59
  It's there though. Damien from Car Shop Karoshi Is
• 52:02
  that Little Caesar's? This is.
• 52:03
  At Little Caesar's? Yeah, dude, are you interested?
• 52:08
  Should we cut right now? No, I'm just kidding.
• 52:10
  But I need to hear about this cobalt because he looks
• 52:13
  defeated. Wow.
• 52:16
  He does. Really.
• 52:20
  Yeah, you're sad. Are you sad?
• 52:23
  No, we're not. Did you see my?
• 52:24
  Mission Impossible. Run.
• 52:25
  Yeah. That was the best.
• 52:27
  Tom Cruise run I've ever seen, we'll get.
• 52:29
  Him. We'll get him.
• 52:29
  He's, he's around this area, but the.
• 52:31
  But that Cobalt, that cobalt is a car that I feel like every
• 52:34
  time I run into one on the road. It's just.
• 52:37
  Like the worst. Match of mods I've ever seen
• 52:41
  done so you run. Into an s s and then you get
• 52:42
  smoked, yeah. OK.
• 52:43
  Was it, was it one of those? No.
• 52:45
  It both like fucking base model stick shift holy.
• 52:49
  Shit, I had the talent. ESI screwed up the whole deal
• 52:53
  with the all over the drive one and the first S 13 ever bought
• 52:57
  and I needed to go to college and I needed a.
• 53:01
  Car to go back and forth, right? So I was driving my talent a
• 53:03
  little bit and then I was saving up a bunch of money, 'cause I
• 53:07
  was like, I really need my dad's.
• 53:08
  Like, you should really get a nice, reliable, like, newer car
• 53:10
  and not driving this car from 1990.
• 53:12
  Oh, that's. Crazy So.
• 53:13
  I heard the same thing. So then I was like, yeah, you're
• 53:15
  right. So I was really trying to buy
• 53:16
  like a Scion TC, 'cause I was like, but it was like at the
• 53:19
  time, just a little bit out of my budget.
• 53:22
  And I was like, I guess Cobalts are all right, but it's GM like,
• 53:25
  I don't really want American like sport compact car and
• 53:29
  whatever. Ended up finding like one that
• 53:31
  was really good shape. Like only a couple years.
• 53:33
  Just when you could buy an econo box car with a stick shift for
• 53:37
  not a lot of money, there was only a couple years.
• 53:39
  Burnt orange. Like that.
• 53:40
  Metallic. Burnt.
• 53:41
  Wow. OK.
• 53:42
  That's kind of cool. So it was for sale.
• 53:45
  Milwaukee, me and my old man. We went down and bought it and
• 53:47
  then whatever, it had like a nice stock car.
• 53:51
  And then I proceeded to buy like wheels and tires for it.
• 53:54
  Boil overs like dumb shit like that.
• 53:55
  Like, I'm going to try to stance it, You know, make it all suit.
• 53:59
  Hella hella flush. I had all the stickers on it.
• 54:01
  They all the illness, the fat lace, all the shit on it.
• 54:03
  I had the the whole 9 yards. Oh man.
• 54:06
  And what stickers? Are on the back glass those ones
• 54:09
  I named and then like. Man, I don't even remember.
• 54:12
  I feel like. Like a shocker sticker.
• 54:14
  No, I didn't have any of that stuff.
• 54:15
  No. About a shocker sticker.
• 54:17
  And then like so I had that car and this.
• 54:21
  Then I then I met our mutual friend Ryan who was already into
• 54:25
  drifting had a 86 Corolla like and he had an S14 like daily and
• 54:30
  but I didn't really like get into drifting or anything.
• 54:33
  And then a other mutual friend of ours bought an S13 while he
• 54:37
  was in high school and like I heard about this kid had an S13.
• 54:42
  So I like find I've like knew his his mutual friends or
• 54:47
  something And I was like yo come to my house I want to see your
• 54:50
  car And he was like, OK, so he comes over with this S13 type X.
• 54:54
  It was built by TF like a long ass time ago.
• 54:57
  And I was like holy fuck I got to get into one of these cars.
• 55:00
  Like I still love these cars And he meets another guy and he or
• 55:05
  he meets Ryan like totally separate from me meeting Ryan
• 55:09
  and he ends up at US air to attend a drift event.
• 55:12
  And then I found out about that and then I went up there and
• 55:17
  attended my first drift event. And then next thing you know I
• 55:19
  was like I got to get drift car. And by this point I was out of
• 55:22
  college. I had a a regular job and I was
• 55:25
  looking around for cars, I was looking at ISS, I was looking at
• 55:27
  ZS and the FRS had just come out.
• 55:30
  And when you looked at all the, when you if you wanted to buy a
• 55:34
  nice really nice example of an IS or AZ at the time it was
• 55:39
  almost the same or more for a payment on that versus an FRS.
• 55:43
  So I bought an FRS and then that's just how I ended up with
• 55:45
  that car and started going to drift events and modding that
• 55:49
  car and everything. And it was, like, weird because
• 55:51
  I went from a car that, like, sucked.
• 55:54
  And I probably looked like a fool and then like was now had
• 55:58
  like a kind of legit JDM car, although brand new and start
• 56:03
  building that, well, that. Was a that was a good like they
• 56:05
  hailed that car when it came out, like there was a lot of
• 56:07
  like people who were anticipating that car.
• 56:09
  Like, do you remember when the FRS came out?
• 56:12
  It was. It was like a big deal.
• 56:13
  It was. A big deal.
• 56:13
  It was a. Rear wheel drive sports car or
• 56:15
  a, you know, affordable sports car and then boom, there you go.
• 56:19
  And I had no idea about any of that.
• 56:20
  Like I didn't know that there was all this development and
• 56:22
  like teaser shots for years in the forums of like all this
• 56:25
  stuff. I just was like, I just need a
• 56:27
  rear wheel drive car I can daily drive to work and tune, not
• 56:30
  tune, but like put parts on and make cool and that thing fit the
• 56:34
  bill. And that's just.
• 56:37
  And then I like while I while I had it, I was like, Oh well,
• 56:40
  shit, if I just build as like an S13, it should look pretty cool.
• 56:43
  I'm gonna. Send Carl a photo right now of
• 56:45
  your car, 'cause I want him to understand how sick this thing
• 56:49
  was. Yeah, you you styled it like
• 56:54
  like various 13 slash early 2000s.
• 56:58
  You know the best way you could without making it weird?
• 57:01
  Oh shit. You know, like it was funny,
• 57:03
  'cause there used to be a form on a website called JDM Chicago
• 57:09
  and that was like the last forum for that stuff from that time
• 57:16
  period. And like before that there was
• 57:17
  like 1 called like CA-2, CA 240SX, which I was never on.
• 57:22
  But guys that I'm, you know, friends with, that's where
• 57:24
  they'd like learned about car styling and all that shit.
• 57:26
  Obviously there was LV and all this other stuff and I think
• 57:30
  there was. Then there's zip tied and
• 57:31
  everything, which I was not on, but I believe this man I'm.
• 57:34
  Very like I made logged on one. That's been mentioned so many
• 57:37
  times during this I used to go on like all those sites and just
• 57:40
  read forum posts where I got my FRS like 'cause I I was obsessed
• 57:44
  with it, right? So I found like, oh, all these
• 57:46
  guys that I saw at US Air all posted on here, and they have
• 57:49
  all their build threads and I would just read every day at
• 57:52
  work, at lunch or whatever and just read and read and read and
• 57:55
  just study and study and read all this stuff.
• 57:57
  And then I was like, OK, I should be able to like, do this
• 57:59
  with this car and I should be able to, like, do that with this
• 58:01
  car. But that car, the FRS didn't
• 58:03
  have all those parts, you know, it didn't have big flared out
• 58:07
  kits. It didn't have, you know, all
• 58:09
  this cool stuff it really didn't have.
• 58:10
  Anything. No, it was brand new on the
• 58:12
  scene, like. So every every Tokyo auto salon,
• 58:15
  I'm like going, I would go through all the photos and try
• 58:17
  to see if anybody came out with shit that was like for like
• 58:21
  stuff that would be on this car. Yeah.
• 58:23
  And I was always hugely disappointed, yeah.
• 58:26
  I feel like there's still not too many, I feel.
• 58:28
  Like they're doing it more though, Yeah, yeah.
• 58:30
  I well, and I kind of think David doing his kit is what that
• 58:35
  thing took off a lot. And I think that's why you see
• 58:39
  companies like Uros and Origin dip their toes into that again,
• 58:43
  because they're like, wait, people want that on these cars?
• 58:46
  They don't want lip kits? Yeah, And they're like shit.
• 58:49
  They don't want to make them look modern.
• 58:51
  Yeah, like is to me. It was insane.
• 58:53
  Be in sports. When I heard they were making a
• 58:56
  kit, I was like, this is it, here we go.
• 58:58
  And then I saw it and I was like, what?
• 59:00
  The fuck? The fuck yeah, everyone thought
• 59:04
  the same thing. I was like and they I was just
• 59:07
  like ah this is so disappointing.
• 59:08
  I was like God damn it cause like even back then Bien, Bien
• 59:12
  and Uros were like my favorite brands.
• 59:13
  So I was like even back then I wanted that stuff but it just
• 59:16
  didn't didn't exist. So then I like kind of just made
• 59:19
  it work like I made my own GT kit cause nobody Uros had one.
• 59:24
  But it, it was expensive to import stuff.
• 59:26
  Like I didn't know certain I didn't know Jesse Streeter and
• 59:29
  stuff at the time, you know, I didn't like know to use that.
• 59:31
  I was using other middleman websites that were charging an
• 59:34
  arm and a leg, you know, to like import that stuff.
• 59:36
  So I was like, oh, I can't really get a whole kit and even.
• 59:39
  Then it was like a lip kit, right?
• 59:40
  That they had or something, Yeah, well, the rest was like a
• 59:42
  lip, which I had, but I didn't buy the side skirts and like the
• 59:46
  rear spats. And now they have a full kit.
• 59:50
  Yeah, when they came out with that, I like, I photoshopped one
• 59:53
  to make it look know I would build one and people were like,
• 59:56
  whoa, what the fuck? Like damn, that looks really
• 59:58
  sick cuz they like people were dogging on it when that first
• 1:00:00
  came out. They're like, I don't know,
• 1:00:02
  yeah, yeah, yeah, the angles don't work and I don't know if
• 1:00:04
  the rear bumper and I like photoshopped one with like
• 1:00:07
  better wheels, GT wing gonadors, like all the whole 9 yards, like
• 1:00:10
  what you do to this chassis. And then I was like, yeah, this
• 1:00:13
  is sick and I'm like, well. That's just the recipe.
• 1:00:16
  It's the same on every car. Yeah, you.
• 1:00:18
  Can't just throw the body kit on and with like a stock setup and
• 1:00:21
  be like, yeah, that'll that doesn't look good.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah, you got to like, execute the whole thing.
• 1:00:24
  Yeah, exactly. There's, there's more parameters
• 1:00:27
  to be met, yeah. But no, dude, I loved your car.
• 1:00:30
  I think yours is probably one of the first cars that I saw.
• 1:00:32
  And I was like, oh, maybe you can make this car cool like,
• 1:00:36
  because. I never thought those cars, I
• 1:00:38
  mean, I thought they like the BRZ, looked good in stock form
• 1:00:41
  with the front bumper the FRSI thought was fucking hideous.
• 1:00:44
  You're. High.
• 1:00:45
  Dude, FRS was nice. I was I.
• 1:00:47
  Had no interest in that front end.
• 1:00:49
  But then, like I was always jealous of the roundness of the
• 1:00:52
  BRZ from bumper 'cause it didn't have like the fangs like the FRS
• 1:00:55
  did. Yeah, that.
• 1:00:56
  Weird look, but I didn't want to drive a Subaru branded car.
• 1:01:00
  I wanted the Toyota shit. So I was like, you know,
• 1:01:03
  whatever made it work, I was. Trying to, I was for a minute
• 1:01:06
  thinking I I was going to buy one of those and I was like, I I
• 1:01:08
  want to. I want the Toyota, but I don't.
• 1:01:10
  I want the BRZ because it looks better.
• 1:01:12
  Yeah, but I want the Toyota. And it's funny because they're
• 1:01:14
  the exact same cars. You could literally change the
• 1:01:15
  badges on them and it would be it wouldn't.
• 1:01:17
  Even know. But now I feel like it's the
• 1:01:19
  opposite. Yeah, now the GR86 is the good
• 1:01:21
  looking one and the BRZ is the kind of weird looking one.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah, so shocker. Toyota rained.
• 1:01:28
  High and you sure. Because they didn't do anything
• 1:01:30
  to build the car. Absolutely nothing.
• 1:01:32
  But Speaking of Toyota Brent, like, I I because you've been
• 1:01:37
  silent this whole time and I want to know how you also got
• 1:01:40
  into drifting because is this your same car that you've had?
• 1:01:44
  Yeah. Basically, why?
• 1:01:45
  Why was I not surprised at that? Because I feel like you.
• 1:01:48
  You would. I feel like I get a vibe that
• 1:01:50
  you're going to probably keep that thing for quite a long
• 1:01:53
  time. I don't think it's probably
• 1:01:54
  going to go anywhere, yeah. How'd you get into drifting,
• 1:01:57
  though? Basically went up to track and
• 1:02:00
  shawno couple times, spectated and did a couple of ride alongs
• 1:02:04
  with buddies and said I need to find a fucking car right now.
• 1:02:07
  Like I. Think 2 weeks later I was
• 1:02:09
  searching around Craigslist and shit and I found that thing down
• 1:02:12
  in Chicago with like 50,000 miles on it.
• 1:02:14
  Went and got it the next day Pretty much.
• 1:02:16
  Fuck. That's actually a really nice
• 1:02:18
  car. Probably.
• 1:02:22
  Yeah, I bought a New Year's Eve. Yeah.
• 1:02:25
  Yep, Yep, there. Is a bunch of underlying stuff
• 1:02:33
  that happened with it though, like the gas tank inside of it
• 1:02:36
  was all rusted out when I bought it and ended up clogging all the
• 1:02:39
  injectors. It ran like piss like, OK, never
• 1:02:42
  mind, let me say after let me. Take that comment back really
• 1:02:44
  quick, now I'm just I think. It just must have sat somewhere
• 1:02:48
  for God knows how long, but other than that it's clean and
• 1:02:52
  then you just. I'm assuming welded.
• 1:02:55
  Or did you stay LSD? I.
• 1:02:58
  Had the stock LSD in it for a while, then I went to a Weld and
• 1:03:01
  now I'm on a two way. That that.
• 1:03:05
  Switch of the diff, in my opinion, in that car is like the
• 1:03:08
  most important thing you could do actually in any car.
• 1:03:12
  Because if you think about it like if it's not laying the
• 1:03:14
  power down the way that you want it to, then you're you're
• 1:03:17
  drifting is just going to be completely inconsistent almost,
• 1:03:20
  you know, oh the. Stock Torsen was terrible.
• 1:03:23
  I hated it. Unlock randomly fucking one
• 1:03:26
  wheel peel like unpredictable as shit.
• 1:03:29
  So did you start doing actually this is more I guess a question
• 1:03:33
  to all of you. Did you guys all start doing the
• 1:03:35
  whole let me do Donuts 1st and then let me do figure eights and
• 1:03:40
  then and then go advance from there.
• 1:03:42
  How was like the route for that for you guys?
• 1:03:45
  I'd say they make you go out on the skid pad and do figure
• 1:03:49
  eights at your first club before event Oh.
• 1:03:53
  Yeah, I didn't know that. Did you know that, Frankie?
• 1:03:55
  No. I don't even know where the skid
• 1:03:56
  pad is. It's.
• 1:03:57
  The parking lot, OK, OK. Well.
• 1:03:59
  We we of of US Air. Yeah.
• 1:04:01
  Yeah. I mean regular drift days are
• 1:04:04
  not final bout. Yeah.
• 1:04:06
  I wanted to come up here for a normal one, one of the, I think
• 1:04:09
  they're called jams. No, no, no, just.
• 1:04:12
  Drift day drift. Day DDS Yeah.
• 1:04:15
  And yeah, Frankie thought that was crazy because I would make
• 1:04:18
  this drive again. Well.
• 1:04:19
  It's worth it for a certain event I guess.
• 1:04:22
  But just I just want for a random drift day.
• 1:04:24
  I'm like that's a bit excessive, but real.
• 1:04:27
  Real bash is a good that. Would be one that I would think.
• 1:04:31
  Yeah. The timeline is kind of annoying
• 1:04:34
  with that, but. I just wanted to experience a
• 1:04:37
  track like to me final bout is like the.
• 1:04:40
  It is, it is like for a lot of people, the purpose, right?
• 1:04:43
  It's like the culmination of a bunch of stuff that we all like
• 1:04:46
  in one spot. Like and from people from all
• 1:04:48
  over the world or world and the country.
• 1:04:51
  Nonetheless, I had to remember that it's the world now and so I
• 1:04:56
  feel like that's why I like it and that's why I want would want
• 1:04:58
  to come back to the track. So if that was like where I was
• 1:05:00
  drifting first, that's like our equivalent of like English I
• 1:05:04
  really. Do think it's the same thing
• 1:05:05
  because. That track.
• 1:05:06
  'S amazing that track. Is sick.
• 1:05:08
  Like I don't know. I if that was like at my
• 1:05:10
  disposal and stuff, I don't know.
• 1:05:12
  Maybe the progression would be a little bit different because
• 1:05:13
  it's way more challenging. Like, if you're at the bottom of
• 1:05:17
  one of those turns and you try to look over it, it's pretty
• 1:05:20
  steep. The video never gets it correct
• 1:05:23
  at all, and like, it's pretty steep.
• 1:05:25
  So, like, I don't know how you guys were drifting there as like
• 1:05:29
  your first place, you know, but the skid pad thing is cool.
• 1:05:32
  But you start out on intermediate course which is
• 1:05:35
  like, so when you first drive out of the pits, you go to the
• 1:05:39
  right, that's the start of intermediate.
• 1:05:42
  It's all flat but it's it's harder on the car.
• 1:05:45
  Than advanced courses. Why?
• 1:05:47
  Would you say that you're? On the gas a lot.
• 1:05:50
  There's a lot of power over drifting.
• 1:05:51
  That sounds. Fun as hell.
• 1:05:53
  Dude that. Whole fucking place is so good.
• 1:05:56
  Like I'm just thinking about the track right now and like every
• 1:06:00
  every area is cool. Like that intermediate section
• 1:06:02
  is really fun, really, but it's flat.
• 1:06:05
  But then the other side is like insane, like the things that you
• 1:06:09
  can do. So it's got like two different,
• 1:06:12
  yeah, like you said, it's like two different tracks in one.
• 1:06:14
  Yeah, and you can, you can stack up really well on intermediate
• 1:06:19
  course, advanced like one like when have it, when they have it
• 1:06:23
  laid out normally you like come off the balcony and then instead
• 1:06:28
  of like continuing to the right back to the pits.
• 1:06:30
  You don't do that. You go to the left.
• 1:06:33
  OK. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:34
  And then? You just like you switch back
• 1:06:35
  and forth really quickly over and over again, so like you can
• 1:06:41
  like stack up across the balcony and then in the last corner.
• 1:06:45
  Yeah, and the other ones, you're just like behind the person and.
• 1:06:48
  Sometimes they do like full course, right?
• 1:06:50
  Yeah, that shit is cool. That's.
• 1:06:52
  Rowdy as fuck anytime you hear the word.
• 1:06:54
  Full course. Have you guys driven English
• 1:06:57
  town yet? I think no.
• 1:06:59
  Dude, have you guys drifted? Any other tracks yet?
• 1:07:02
  We went to that, Mike. Yeah, we.
• 1:07:05
  Went to Auto Mass. Auto mass.
• 1:07:09
  Oh, that's what toge factory Dave was talking about, yeah.
• 1:07:11
  Oh, shit, shit, shit. It was a parking lot event,
• 1:07:14
  right? So there was two different auto
• 1:07:15
  masses at one point there was the OG Auto Mass which was in
• 1:07:19
  the parking lot of Toyota Park. I think if I'm yeah I'd we
• 1:07:23
  didn't go to that. That was a little bit before we
• 1:07:26
  well we might have been driving events here but we didn't go
• 1:07:29
  down there or anything. And then they brought Auto Mass
• 1:07:31
  back. A few years ago, we were at
• 1:07:32
  Autobahn, which is a road like a private Country Club Rd. course
• 1:07:36
  in Joliet. And they have a skid pad and we
• 1:07:40
  were able to do the event there and we'd all drove down there.
• 1:07:42
  I did it two years in a row. And the second time these guys
• 1:07:45
  all came with, I don't know what Brent came with, but Kevin was
• 1:07:48
  down there. Yeah, something happened.
• 1:07:53
  What? Were you guys, Are you guys
• 1:07:54
  familiar with everything? All right, Malcolm.
• 1:07:57
  Oh, OK. Are you guys?
• 1:07:58
  Familiar with the word like, does this ring a bell at all?
• 1:08:00
  Tire rack, Yeah, there was a, there was a track that was at
• 1:08:06
  the tire rack facility. Is that what you're talking
• 1:08:08
  about? Yes.
• 1:08:09
  OK. I thought that that was crazy
• 1:08:11
  because that was mentioned when we were talking to Breaking
• 1:08:14
  that's OG, that's OG, OG that's like G Spot.
• 1:08:17
  Yeah, that's. I saw that.
• 1:08:18
  On my way home one time for the final about, that's like early
• 1:08:21
  2000s, like those guys trying to find a track to drive at and
• 1:08:25
  tire rack let them go there and then eventually I think they got
• 1:08:28
  kicked out. I never drove this track, but we
• 1:08:31
  went. But Rd.
• 1:08:32
  America used to have a few events as well because they have
• 1:08:36
  a cart track like similar to USA, not up and down, but it's
• 1:08:40
  like similar and as far as width of the track and everything.
• 1:08:44
  And there was a few events there.
• 1:08:46
  I went to one in 2013 but I wasn't there to drive or
• 1:08:49
  anything and spectated and I was really hoping we'd go back.
• 1:08:52
  But other people I talked to said the track wasn't really
• 1:08:54
  that fun or the. Speeds like in that it was
• 1:08:57
  similar to like intermediate, it wasn't super high speed so you
• 1:08:59
  guys. Got to go to E Town.
• 1:09:01
  I. Think so because like we would
• 1:09:02
  probably die. But I I'm.
• 1:09:04
  Trying to gather everyone so that maybe we can try to get all
• 1:09:09
  the people who want to drive E Town and stuff and give everyone
• 1:09:12
  like a reason to come there, yeah.
• 1:09:14
  'Cause. It is fun.
• 1:09:16
  Like I I look at other tracks and then yes, sometimes I'll
• 1:09:19
  think in my head I'm like, yeah, but damn, E Town I guess has
• 1:09:22
  that too. E Town.
• 1:09:23
  'S got like a little bit of elevation change, which is nice.
• 1:09:25
  So it's like comparable, like not comparable to US Air, but
• 1:09:29
  it's like. Something that's kind of
• 1:09:30
  similar? Well then, what's the track at
• 1:09:32
  the drag strip? That's just a Figure 8 track
• 1:09:35
  they built. Is this all the same facility?
• 1:09:36
  Like the dirt bike tracks there and everything?
• 1:09:37
  And like, OK, yeah. So they they built that mainly
• 1:09:40
  for formula drift, yeah. Just so that they had somewhere
• 1:09:44
  to come and they it's really because of the grandstands.
• 1:09:47
  So, but we don't really. It's like the Thunderdome in
• 1:09:50
  there, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:09:52
  They don't. Do Club Blues doesn't drive in
• 1:09:53
  that track because it's kind. I mean, it's fucking dangerous
• 1:09:56
  for one. Like there's walls everywhere.
• 1:09:58
  But so like the video I see, like by the you guys say they're
• 1:10:02
  called like the tree turn or something.
• 1:10:03
  Yeah, tree. Turn Dash, it's on the main
• 1:10:04
  track. Yeah, so, but yeah, E Town is
• 1:10:08
  more like front track, backtrack.
• 1:10:10
  Backtrack is kind of where you start.
• 1:10:14
  It's a little shorter. There is some elevation there
• 1:10:17
  too. The second turn is pretty hard
• 1:10:21
  to link, so that's kind of why they put everyone back there,
• 1:10:24
  because they want them to struggle.
• 1:10:26
  The front track is faster depending on where you start on
• 1:10:30
  grid obviously, but the fast track the the front track is
• 1:10:32
  faster and you have the bank, so it's definitely like more
• 1:10:36
  exciting than the back one, but. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:10:40
  We like, we have US Air which is obviously like one of the, you
• 1:10:44
  know, top top or the top grassroots like you know, tracks
• 1:10:48
  or whatever. But then that's like kind of it.
• 1:10:51
  Like otherwise there's like there's events at some big Rd.
• 1:10:54
  courses and stuff like down at Autobahn they'll do like Grid
• 1:10:57
  Life will do stuff there, but you got to be invited or
• 1:11:00
  something like that and it's hard to drift some of those big
• 1:11:03
  tracks like that and then like otherwise the only stuff that
• 1:11:06
  goes on around here is like some circle tracks have some events
• 1:11:10
  which how? FAR is like drift Indy stuff
• 1:11:12
  from you guys. I mean, that'd be Indiana, so
• 1:11:16
  like what? Yeah, it's more depending,
• 1:11:20
  depending on where it is in India.
• 1:11:21
  Yeah, yeah. So, so it's like it's like a
• 1:11:24
  pretty big. Trip to do that, yeah, I think.
• 1:11:27
  I think when breaking comes up here, like from Fort Wayne, it's
• 1:11:30
  like they were. They were talking to us about
• 1:11:32
  that. It's like. 8 hours from 7:00. 8
• 1:11:34
  hours? Yeah 'cause Eric was saying 7
• 1:11:36
  hours. Is is the furthest that's.
• 1:11:37
  Just tap to St. Drives.
• 1:11:39
  On the street drive, that's like.
• 1:11:40
  That's the. That's The funny thing is that,
• 1:11:41
  like, you know, we live 30 minutes from US air, So it's
• 1:11:44
  like we're super spoiled. So we are.
• 1:11:46
  Spoiled. But it also sucks that there's
• 1:11:48
  nowhere else to go. You know what I mean?
• 1:11:50
  So, and I'm thinking about a speed aspect, Yeah, so the
• 1:11:53
  highest, the next highest speed thing to do.
• 1:11:56
  Would be Autobahn. OK.
• 1:11:57
  If we did something higher speed and I, we could probably drive
• 1:12:01
  that if we wanted to like, but it's never really, I mean we're
• 1:12:05
  Midwest for 2nd gear, right? So it's like, yeah.
• 1:12:07
  I know. Yeah, I was.
• 1:12:08
  I was trying to beat around the Bush with that joke.
• 1:12:10
  But yeah, I wanted to see if you guys had anywhere to go that you
• 1:12:13
  can go faster. Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  Not that this would answer. It wouldn't help with that
• 1:12:17
  because, but it would be cool down to go down to Texas or
• 1:12:21
  like, oh, that's. What I want to do, too muscle
• 1:12:23
  men in Arizona like I didn't. Even know about that, You got to
• 1:12:26
  tell me about that it's. Like great events that night.
• 1:12:30
  In Arizona, this is it, yeah. You would love it.
• 1:12:32
  You love Arizona. I love Arizona.
• 1:12:34
  Yeah. So it's at called Muscleman
• 1:12:35
  Circuit. Is it like Honda?
• 1:12:37
  Yeah, it's. Muscleman Honda Circuit.
• 1:12:38
  It's manhana circuit. So like, I know AJ when you live
• 1:12:41
  down there, drove there a lot. Rick OK with the purple JZX, OK,
• 1:12:45
  he drives that a lot. Damn might panic.
• 1:12:50
  And then drove that a lot too, when they lived down there.
• 1:12:52
  When? Yeah, when he was living down
• 1:12:53
  there. But that's a super cool track, I
• 1:12:55
  guess. Yeah, and if there's anybody
• 1:12:58
  from that area up here this weekend, you can talk to him
• 1:13:00
  about that, but you would probably be super down.
• 1:13:02
  I know Modella Jones, he drove down there with his Jay ZX and
• 1:13:06
  drove that track too. And but it'd be cool to like go
• 1:13:10
  down there. Like obviously in the winter we
• 1:13:11
  can't do shit up here. So it's like it'd be cool to
• 1:13:13
  like go down to one of these southern areas and like do that.
• 1:13:16
  I know Mid Pond's actually like, you know, that's coming up too.
• 1:13:18
  Like everyone's going to Mid Pond all the time now, right.
• 1:13:20
  And driving that track. Yeah, that's Carl.
• 1:13:23
  'S going down there in November. October, Yeah, they're doing a
• 1:13:26
  trip to the pond. Never been there.
• 1:13:29
  I think Shit said it was like 17 or 16 hours.
• 1:13:32
  That's. That's more like a slower track
• 1:13:33
  too, like like US Air. I mean, I've played it on.
• 1:13:37
  Asetto, I don't know if you guys dabble in Asetto Corsa at all or
• 1:13:40
  Sims or anything like that, but played it on there and like
• 1:13:44
  Daryl, my buddies drifted down there as well.
• 1:13:46
  So like I get to talk to him about it.
• 1:13:48
  He did it in his NA2 JS like in an SC, so it's like a lot of
• 1:13:53
  like. Fast, slow, fast, slow like
• 1:13:57
  fast, slow like short straights, long straights this
• 1:14:00
  motherfucking B like. Tight turns, yeah.
• 1:14:02
  Tight turns. And since the track is like
• 1:14:05
  narrow, I feel like it's sick because if you're tandeming with
• 1:14:08
  somebody, it's super easy to expect where that next person is
• 1:14:13
  going to go. And I feel like that brings some
• 1:14:15
  sort of excitement because it's like you have to go that way.
• 1:14:19
  So what are you going to do to make the car go that way?
• 1:14:21
  So to me that that's what makes it exciting and the fact that
• 1:14:24
  there's a body of water literally in the middle of the
• 1:14:27
  track where there's ducks and shit and a paddle boat, you're
• 1:14:30
  drifting around it like it's, I don't know, I think it looks
• 1:14:33
  cool. And also that the facility is
• 1:14:35
  like very catering to drifting like the owner Ken likes it like
• 1:14:40
  I feel like. I've never seen the track, maybe
• 1:14:43
  a couple pictures here and there, and for some reason I
• 1:14:45
  just immediately compare it to intermediate at US Air.
• 1:14:48
  I don't know why. I'm just, I think from the few
• 1:14:50
  pictures I saw I was like, I feel like it would be like that,
• 1:14:53
  like still tight corners but a little bit longer, flat and.
• 1:15:00
  Fast. Like, yeah, there's some
• 1:15:02
  sections that are fast. Like in terms of where you like
• 1:15:05
  your hands and your reaction should be quick.
• 1:15:07
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because of the line maybe that
• 1:15:09
  you have to take or what have you.
• 1:15:11
  But I feel like. We cut off the whole IS story.
• 1:15:14
  Oh yeah, we hijacked that. I was.
• 1:15:15
  Probably going to go back to that, but.
• 1:15:17
  I figured I kind of knew where that was.
• 1:15:19
  So 'cause you added, you said you ran that factory tours in
• 1:15:24
  for a little while and like we have a few people on the podcast
• 1:15:27
  who have ISS and stuff and those are the people that'll say like
• 1:15:30
  IS over S chassis, as I came from S chassis and like, what
• 1:15:36
  would you, what would you tell your younger self that you
• 1:15:39
  should have done to the car, like right from the get go?
• 1:15:43
  Do you have any advice for those people?
• 1:15:48
  Put A1J in it one. J Right away.
• 1:15:51
  Yep. That's a tough one, honestly.
• 1:15:55
  Yeah. It's like, I don't know, there's
• 1:15:58
  that formula. It's like the diff the seat, so
• 1:16:02
  you're not sloshing around in shape.
• 1:16:04
  Yeah, I would honestly say good coilovers with proper spring
• 1:16:08
  rates was the best thing I've ever done to it.
• 1:16:11
  OK, not the welding. I once I switched to the welded
• 1:16:16
  diff, the IS was so much better to me oh it.
• 1:16:19
  Definitely was like it was just way.
• 1:16:20
  Better to drive and like I'm still on stock power, mainly
• 1:16:24
  just because when I turn it on, it turns on and that's all I
• 1:16:26
  could ask for because it's not going to get me anywhere very
• 1:16:30
  fast. But you went to A1 J first,
• 1:16:34
  right? Or after you got tired of the
• 1:16:36
  GE. Yes, I did.
• 1:16:38
  What was that like? Like, did you get the engine
• 1:16:40
  from a depot? Yeah.
• 1:16:41
  Why did Kevin just smile it? Was this a bad experience?
• 1:16:45
  Yeah, not. The best.
• 1:16:48
  Which engine the? Wait, it's been on about three
• 1:16:51
  of them now? Oh.
• 1:16:53
  And the last one started on fire, yeah.
• 1:16:55
  That final. About four it, yeah.
• 1:16:58
  It lit on fire, which is? Crazy, because I feel like
• 1:17:00
  everyone preaches that that engine is like, oh, it's so
• 1:17:02
  easy, slap it in. Go it was.
• 1:17:05
  More a tuning problem I believe. Really.
• 1:17:08
  Yeah. Fuel pressure was dropping in
• 1:17:10
  boost and couldn't really see it and it bribed the shit it.
• 1:17:15
  Wasn't on like a stock ECU anymore.
• 1:17:16
  It was on it was. On stock ECU, it's just SAFC on
• 1:17:19
  it. Oh, OK, Honestly that.
• 1:17:21
  SAFC might have fucked you. Oh.
• 1:17:23
  Guaranteed. Those those put it.
• 1:17:27
  On Link and then put it on Link. Got it tuned.
• 1:17:30
  Then two weeks later it was blown up.
• 1:17:32
  So wow, it it had a bunch of shit on the Dino.
• 1:17:35
  It was doing random shit. It basically tuned it out.
• 1:17:37
  But. Once you got it, it was good.
• 1:17:40
  Yep. Damn.
• 1:17:42
  So but what happened? The other ones there was 30.
• 1:17:45
  Yeah, that's right. After the one that was the one.
• 1:17:47
  That was in on fire. After the one J, we put just a
• 1:17:52
  basically old block that was in our buddy's old SC.
• 1:17:55
  It was a non VB TI2J block. Oh yeah, and I got two events
• 1:18:00
  out of that one second one at final about six.
• 1:18:03
  I cracked three of the piston, ring, lens, and.
• 1:18:06
  All the blow by shot, the oil out of the head breather all
• 1:18:10
  over my turbo exhaust and lit up.
• 1:18:12
  Oh. My God, All right.
• 1:18:15
  Final belt 4. This is 6, yeah.
• 1:18:17
  Yeah, Yeah. Like that's kind of a big
• 1:18:23
  failure. And then what happened after
• 1:18:25
  that? So you were just like, I'm done.
• 1:18:27
  I'm getting a brand new block. I'm getting a head and then now
• 1:18:29
  you're here, I got. A brand new block and I just got
• 1:18:32
  the head machined and slapped it together and.
• 1:18:35
  Now here I am. Were you?
• 1:18:36
  Guys, were you always into like the style?
• 1:18:38
  Because that's pretty styled up, not like a lot of other ISS are
• 1:18:43
  like it's very, it's higher. That's one I guess, because I
• 1:18:47
  feel like all ISS are on the ground, not by choice because of
• 1:18:50
  the the way that the knuckle setup is and depending on what
• 1:18:53
  suspension you're running. So what do you have on the front
• 1:18:55
  now? I'm running reverse knuckle.
• 1:18:58
  A what reverse? Knuckle.
• 1:19:02
  Oh, OK. It's a brand.
• 1:19:07
  Yeah. Perfect.
• 1:19:10
  Thank you, Frankie. I can't even hear.
• 1:19:12
  But I'm just looking. And I'm like, I know, Yeah,
• 1:19:14
  yeah, yeah. No, I know.
• 1:19:15
  Isn't. That Kazuya's brand?
• 1:19:17
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:19:18
  Is it? Yeah.
• 1:19:19
  Reverse. No, I'm enticed.
• 1:19:20
  Does it mean? You can go reverse.
• 1:19:22
  It's pretty. Much a poor translation from
• 1:19:24
  what I got out of it. OK.
• 1:19:28
  It's. That I I don't even know the
• 1:19:29
  pronunciation of the guy. How did?
• 1:19:32
  You get. I know.
• 1:19:32
  He got Ryan his. Alpha Project Imports is who I
• 1:19:37
  got him through. They're fucking wild.
• 1:19:41
  The knuckles, Yeah. I.
• 1:19:42
  Had to raise my card. That's why it's higher.
• 1:19:45
  I had to raise it because the wheels were hitting everything
• 1:19:47
  at lock. Jesus.
• 1:19:48
  It's. Like, dumb, OK?
• 1:19:50
  Maybe that doesn't entice me as much I like.
• 1:19:53
  A more mild, crazy amount, yeah. I mean, I yeah, I noticed the
• 1:19:57
  car was kind of taller, but the, well, you have the 35 millimeter
• 1:20:01
  extended lowers, right? Yeah.
• 1:20:02
  So that's why the fenders are wide and everything.
• 1:20:06
  Crack got wide. Interesting, but I like, I like.
• 1:20:10
  I always ask that question because I feel like a lot of the
• 1:20:14
  bolt on solutions, they do the same thing.
• 1:20:16
  Yep. But is that one like a one
• 1:20:17
  piece? Because I'm assumed a?
• 1:20:19
  Welded factory ball joint. Yeah, OK.
• 1:20:23
  Do you enjoy that more than if you had more?
• 1:20:25
  Than any like the easy knuckle style stuff I've just heard of
• 1:20:28
  people not having. That's what I have on my good.
• 1:20:30
  Luck drifting you want, but I like it because I could service
• 1:20:34
  the ball joint pretty nice. For sure.
• 1:20:36
  But I do them like every season. Like I'll just do it quick.
• 1:20:40
  Ball joints like 50 bucks, Carl. Your car is like way different
• 1:20:43
  as far as. Driving setup than his I feel
• 1:20:46
  like way different. Right.
• 1:20:47
  That's why I'm asking. I've never banged anything and
• 1:20:49
  the and and the wheel wells are all mine.
• 1:20:51
  Are all banged up. And yeah, I used to run like a
• 1:20:54
  similar knuckle to the easy knuckle stuff.
• 1:20:56
  I I did not like it at all. Why didn't?
• 1:20:59
  You. I reamed the actual taper for
• 1:21:02
  the knuckle. It reamed itself out after a
• 1:21:04
  while of driving and the tie rod was basically rattling in there
• 1:21:09
  'cause. Basically, just build it
• 1:21:10
  aluminum, yeah. Yeah, those setups are really,
• 1:21:12
  really shitty, but like, I guess.
• 1:21:13
  After that it's like I'm going to go back to the tried and true
• 1:21:16
  OEM ball joint style knuckle. That's don't really got to worry
• 1:21:20
  about it. I'm going to go home and
• 1:21:22
  literally check my shit because because now I'm like, I I never
• 1:21:26
  really thought of that as a concern because I'm like, ah,
• 1:21:30
  goes in here. Torque everything.
• 1:21:32
  I did. Torque everything.
• 1:21:34
  That's good. Necessary heart out just for
• 1:21:37
  those bolts. There's like literally 4 bolts
• 1:21:40
  there and I will torque those everything else like, you know,
• 1:21:45
  little gun. Action extra like extra little
• 1:21:48
  one I know on my I know on the gun we use that's exactly.
• 1:21:51
  Like only four of them. No, it it comes out like it's
• 1:21:55
  probably like 10. Like, I'll watch the Bolt and
• 1:21:58
  then I'll press it one more time and if it doesn't go anymore,
• 1:22:00
  I'm like it's about 90, yeah. Some train mechanic shit.
• 1:22:05
  Yeah, yeah, Bush, Bush. What did, what did?
• 1:22:07
  What did we get called that one time?
• 1:22:10
  This is like some Bush league mechanic shit.
• 1:22:13
  Who said that? I don't know.
• 1:22:15
  I don't remember. Somebody called called somebody
• 1:22:17
  that when we were working on trackside I call.
• 1:22:18
  It MO cannic MO cannic. You're a MO.
• 1:22:20
  Cannic. Not a mechanic, but damn, like,
• 1:22:24
  OK, so I'm going to put the team question back because where do
• 1:22:28
  you guys see yourself like in the future because, like, you
• 1:22:30
  guys are. Wait.
• 1:22:34
  Wait, I got one after that. But let's let's do that.
• 1:22:37
  I got to, I got to remember this question because you guys are a
• 1:22:40
  team now and you guys are friends, right?
• 1:22:43
  So, like, to me, that's what makes a team important because
• 1:22:47
  you're a team, not because you just labeled it that and you
• 1:22:50
  like found somebody on the street or whatever, but like the
• 1:22:53
  cohesion there and stuff like that, it's that's what makes a
• 1:22:56
  team for me. So like, I don't know where you
• 1:22:58
  guys see yourself in five years. Like, are you guys still going
• 1:23:00
  to be doing this? Is the fire still lit up?
• 1:23:03
  I think so. I mean we finally got our cars
• 1:23:06
  kind of back together and you know the other members you know
• 1:23:11
  got maybe one or two cars to kind of fix up a little bit more
• 1:23:15
  because they just need a few things.
• 1:23:16
  But you know we're hoping to like drive some more together
• 1:23:21
  next year and like actually you know get better in that regard,
• 1:23:25
  you know, so hopefully keep driving but if if someone.
• 1:23:32
  Wants to quit and get out because they're just over it,
• 1:23:35
  you know, it's like, I understand life's hard and
• 1:23:37
  shit's expensive. So it's like, you know,
• 1:23:40
  hopefully we all stay together and do that stuff.
• 1:23:42
  And I I kind of see us still drive driving even 55 years from
• 1:23:45
  now. But you know, we're also.
• 1:23:48
  You know. We're young yet, but you know,
• 1:23:50
  but we're all in our early 30s, so it's like stuff starts to
• 1:23:54
  happen at this time. Like life, Yeah.
• 1:23:58
  You know, we might. We might only get maybe another
• 1:24:00
  like year or two where we can be like, oh, we're all going to
• 1:24:03
  drive the same event. We're all going to do this and
• 1:24:05
  do this to where it might be like, OK, I can't do this, he
• 1:24:07
  can't do that. Like whatever.
• 1:24:09
  And but we'd still probably try to keep the team around, you
• 1:24:12
  know, and then how many. Of you are there in total.
• 1:24:15
  There's me, Brent, Kevin. And then we have our other
• 1:24:19
  friend, Kevin Wink. He used to live with me and
• 1:24:21
  Brent. He has a white SC300 with 1J in
• 1:24:25
  it with VS GIFs we have. Patrick Holly, He's got a 86
• 1:24:31
  that's done to the moon. It's got everything on it that
• 1:24:34
  Corolla dudes love. And then he's got another
• 1:24:37
  Corolla that he's building as well.
• 1:24:39
  So he's got two and then we got Wes.
• 1:24:42
  He had a red S13 coupe, but he now has AZ cuz he kind of went
• 1:24:47
  that way where he was like, I'm done with the old car and fixing
• 1:24:50
  it all the time. I want to go to kind of a more
• 1:24:52
  turnkey. Like just drive something that's
• 1:24:55
  simpler. So he went to AZ just this year.
• 1:24:57
  So he's working on that right now to get that thing up to
• 1:25:00
  snuff and so. 6. Yes, we are at six members now,
• 1:25:05
  so. So having six members that sound
• 1:25:07
  like they all have driving cars, pretty much, yeah.
• 1:25:09
  Is. First of all, extremely fucking
• 1:25:11
  rare. Yeah?
• 1:25:12
  What? And like you.
• 1:25:14
  That's a good thing, because then someone can back out.
• 1:25:18
  And it really causes no problems, yeah.
• 1:25:20
  Like, we can't all even this year.
• 1:25:22
  I mean, obviously my car was down during special stage, so I
• 1:25:25
  couldn't drive. Kevin's car was down and he's
• 1:25:27
  getting married, so he didn't want to like, you know, screw
• 1:25:29
  too much stuff up. And then so at special stage it
• 1:25:33
  was Brent. Other Kevin and Wes had sold his
• 1:25:37
  car and then Patrick. Yeah.
• 1:25:39
  So it was kind of a, it was kind of a mismatch because you had
• 1:25:42
  two turbo cars, one at like stock power, one at 500,000,000
• 1:25:45
  horsepower, whatever he's at. Yeah.
• 1:25:47
  And then we had a Corolla at like 50 horsepower, right.
• 1:25:49
  So it's like, so put the Corolla in the front and then the other
• 1:25:53
  guys just had to kind of like drop behind them.
• 1:25:55
  Yeah, but that's the fun of drifting, right?
• 1:25:58
  Is like doing that different stuff like, yeah, when.
• 1:26:00
  It's not a competition. It's like whatever you.
• 1:26:02
  Know. I mean, well, it was, but yeah.
• 1:26:04
  That when it's a competition, it's it's kind of.
• 1:26:08
  Annoying like before Final bout started, it was like it didn't
• 1:26:13
  really matter who had what power and everything because you kind
• 1:26:16
  of just like what but. Like, you know, I've been a
• 1:26:20
  judge for final bout for the special stages and like we we
• 1:26:23
  don't try to like you're not going to get less points if you
• 1:26:26
  have a Corolla like else. And it's going to be judged
• 1:26:28
  differently because well, you guys are driving at the Corolla.
• 1:26:31
  We know the struggle of the Corolla guy, so we know like we
• 1:26:34
  got to see how the other members react to him.
• 1:26:37
  And if it's still all cohesive and you have all the cars,
• 1:26:41
  right, you. Know.
• 1:26:42
  Getting stacked up, even if they're going slower than you
• 1:26:44
  had, if you had three S chassis or something.
• 1:26:47
  So you got to kind of that's just all you try to judge all
• 1:26:51
  that fairly. So hopefully, like if someone
• 1:26:54
  has a team like that like us, they're hopefully judged in that
• 1:26:57
  regard, but you know you also still have to drive really well
• 1:27:01
  and. Having those six team members,
• 1:27:03
  that's that's like a blessing. Well, that's really.
• 1:27:05
  Hard. I mean, you look at like a team
• 1:27:06
  like Gleam. It was like one of the I'll say
• 1:27:09
  one of the you know higher up multi car teams, those guys rip
• 1:27:13
  together and like you know you'll see that this weekend.
• 1:27:17
  But those are, I mean those are hopefully my pick to maybe win
• 1:27:21
  it all. How many?
• 1:27:21
  How many members they got? I think they got 8. 8.
• 1:27:24
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got a lot of cars and they
• 1:27:27
  they all can drive really good. So it's like they all kind of
• 1:27:31
  know where each other's AT and and they have a Corolla too.
• 1:27:33
  Although he's got a S2000 engine in it, so he's got more power
• 1:27:36
  than it for AG. But like you know, they're a
• 1:27:38
  great example of like a low power NA car and then a bunch of
• 1:27:42
  S chassis stuff. OK, so it's like and.
• 1:27:45
  You know. But it's all it's all driver's
• 1:27:47
  skill, too. So I I got another question that
• 1:27:51
  might be a little weird but when I see all the cars, yes I see
• 1:27:56
  your style in my head. I my question to you guys is.
• 1:28:01
  Are you are you guys all into this stuff or is he?
• 1:28:04
  Or is he brainwashing you in a way?
• 1:28:08
  Horrible term to use but but you know what I'm saying?
• 1:28:11
  Like does he? It's hard to explain, but
• 1:28:15
  because and the only reason I'm asking is because that's exactly
• 1:28:17
  what I did to all my friends. So OK.
• 1:28:20
  I will. I will.
• 1:28:21
  I will preface it with how this came about real quick.
• 1:28:24
  I was going to do all the graphics on my car like two
• 1:28:26
  years ago, two or three years ago and.
• 1:28:30
  These guys randomly messaged me individually that they wanted to
• 1:28:33
  do a little bit of vinyl on their cars when they were done
• 1:28:36
  and I was like, wait, I'm working on something.
• 1:28:38
  I sent it to him and then that just snowballed.
• 1:28:41
  Yeah, yeah. But hopefully they're into it.
• 1:28:43
  I mean, I well because like. As I'm looking at the cars, I
• 1:28:46
  see like the ISS, the, the IS to me.
• 1:28:51
  I can't say it reminds me of a Front Street car 'cause it's not
• 1:28:53
  that ridiculous, but like the bumper's high off the ground,
• 1:28:55
  like the the front end looks like more angle.
• 1:28:58
  Well, it is more angle, He just explained it.
• 1:29:00
  Like it looks more aggressive as far as driving style.
• 1:29:03
  And then the FC is kind of in in the middle.
• 1:29:05
  It's like kind of lower, but still to me kind of looks more
• 1:29:09
  aggressive with driving style. And then your car reminds me of,
• 1:29:12
  like, you know, older 2000 stuff like lower probably drives like
• 1:29:18
  shit. Your car probably doesn't drive
• 1:29:20
  like shit. But you know what I'm saying?
• 1:29:21
  Yeah, this guy's just shitting on him, like right in front of
• 1:29:23
  his, so like. It's incredible.
• 1:29:25
  Well, I mean, I no, I've been there.
• 1:29:27
  Yeah, we not. Yeah, it's the same shit.
• 1:29:29
  So. So that's why I'm like there's a
• 1:29:32
  bit of. Sacrifice to.
• 1:29:34
  For what you want, yeah. Yeah, of course.
• 1:29:36
  But yeah, so that's why I'm like, in my mind, I'm dude, I
• 1:29:40
  see it with teams all the time. It's like someone wants to do
• 1:29:42
  one thing and then you know you're trying to keep the team
• 1:29:45
  looking like a team instead of like one person is like way off
• 1:29:49
  on another, like, you know? I.
• 1:29:52
  Mean, I definitely, probably bully these guys a bit more than
• 1:29:55
  I should, but, like, no. I mean, I'm asking because it's
• 1:29:57
  like, that is a thing, dude, but.
• 1:29:59
  Like, I don't. But as far as they're set up, if
• 1:30:01
  these guys want to run a little bit higher front, I might tease
• 1:30:03
  them a bit. But I'm like, if that's going to
• 1:30:06
  be how you got to drive your car, like Kevin's, you know, car
• 1:30:09
  won't literally even steer unless his front end's raised
• 1:30:11
  up. And like, Brent's got wild
• 1:30:14
  knuckles set up, you know, and like.
• 1:30:16
  I'm not. Going to like sit here and shit.
• 1:30:17
  I mean, I don't really care if people want to do the Kanzai
• 1:30:20
  style or if they want to do the low style.
• 1:30:22
  You know but. Like.
• 1:30:24
  Wes, he's got AZ and his car is probably gonna be pretty low.
• 1:30:28
  OK. But that's his choice.
• 1:30:30
  But hopefully. But he's planning on trying to
• 1:30:32
  do a few style cues to like tie in with the rest of the team.
• 1:30:35
  Yeah, that's. Really what I'm think I'm like
• 1:30:37
  focusing on like but like. Our friend Kevin.
• 1:30:39
  Other friend Kevin with the SC like.
• 1:30:42
  You. Know we might we might steer him
• 1:30:45
  in a direction or he might say no, I like it low style the way
• 1:30:48
  it is and he might end up keeping his car that but like.
• 1:30:52
  That's like a project where we got to repaint that car to try
• 1:30:54
  it, tie it in with the team because it's still OEM white
• 1:30:56
  paint and like whatever else and but then you got like Patrick's
• 1:31:00
  Corolla, which is all like straight Corolla style, you
• 1:31:02
  know, good line arrow, all that stuff and.
• 1:31:06
  We're not. Telling them to, you know, put a
• 1:31:08
  fucking Sr. in that, like, you know, do whatever.
• 1:31:11
  We're like, no, keep it. Keep it the way it is.
• 1:31:13
  Like so. I mean these guys, they can
• 1:31:16
  chime in or whatever with. Whatever.
• 1:31:18
  If they don't want me telling them how to make it look, but
• 1:31:21
  but I do try to put all the like, I design all the cars when
• 1:31:25
  we're doing livery stuff and everything, you know, I put it
• 1:31:27
  on the computer and like if like, Brent was iffy on the GT
• 1:31:29
  wing and on the blue graphics and on white wheels, well, I
• 1:31:33
  can. I can render all that for you.
• 1:31:35
  I can show you what it looks like, right.
• 1:31:36
  Like and then he was like. Oh.
• 1:31:38
  Shit, I'm down. So then that becomes a car and
• 1:31:42
  like. You know Kevin wanted to do some
• 1:31:45
  stuff on his car, right? And like we end up, I was like
• 1:31:47
  you should do like the silver accents on the mirrors or
• 1:31:50
  whatever and a few other things. And you know, and these guys
• 1:31:53
  totally collaborate with me on these ideas.
• 1:31:55
  I think the. Reason I ask the question is
• 1:31:57
  because the cars look so good and matching that to me I'm like
• 1:32:02
  someone had to have conducted this but it seems like it's not
• 1:32:05
  really like that. I'm not sitting here with a wand
• 1:32:08
  like, OK, you're gonna do this and you're gonna do that.
• 1:32:10
  Like the? Fact that you're all like on
• 1:32:11
  board with this and the cars are like that, they all look like
• 1:32:14
  that is fucking awesome. I mean.
• 1:32:18
  You guys ask me questions, right?
• 1:32:19
  And I just tell you like, well, I maybe I'd do this or maybe I'd
• 1:32:22
  do that, but or maybe I might say do this.
• 1:32:25
  It's just really. Cool to see it.
• 1:32:27
  I think when I was doing my car, I told you the color I was going
• 1:32:30
  with and I sent you a parts list of everything that I was going
• 1:32:34
  to put on it. And then you just made me a
• 1:32:35
  rendering of it and I was like, that's what I'm doing, Yeah, And
• 1:32:38
  sometimes like. Like his car and his car.
• 1:32:41
  Like I'm I'm like not well versed in it as far as like, oh
• 1:32:43
  what air versions and stuff. Cuz like I know these cars but I
• 1:32:46
  don't know other stuff. So he'll be like, oh, I'm gonna
• 1:32:51
  do this bumper and I'm gonna do that and I'm like, look, I'm
• 1:32:53
  like, OK, OK can this wall work together?
• 1:32:55
  Can that work? And I'll be like, yeah, it does
• 1:32:57
  help. That you can't render it all.
• 1:32:59
  And. Like I I'll bring it W again,
• 1:33:00
  because he's building a car right now, right?
• 1:33:02
  So he's like messaging me like, oh, what about this bumper?
• 1:33:05
  What about that? And I'm like, I don't know about
• 1:33:06
  that, but I like, this is cool. What about looking at this
• 1:33:09
  stuff? But he's also trying to keep a
• 1:33:11
  price point at a certain thing, too.
• 1:33:12
  So there's also that like, so you know, but you.
• 1:33:17
  Try to I want. To say I'm even like, picking
• 1:33:20
  all this stuff for you guys, because I'm not.
• 1:33:22
  You guys totally did all this yourself.
• 1:33:23
  It's just like. I think just being able to do it
• 1:33:26
  in the computer, yeah. The the rendering thing does
• 1:33:28
  help because it's like he could he could think of something, put
• 1:33:31
  in the render and then you'll see it and you'll be like.
• 1:33:34
  Yeah. I can say that's really cool
• 1:33:35
  that you can do that, like. His mock up originally had BN
• 1:33:38
  arrow 'cause we trying to get him to do BN for just two
• 1:33:40
  matchless, right? Yeah.
• 1:33:42
  And like, OK, well. There's a good example and he.
• 1:33:44
  Was like, no, I'm not doing, I'm keeping the elixir, you know and
• 1:33:46
  we're like. OK, OK.
• 1:33:47
  And you held your ground and you're like, no, I want that
• 1:33:48
  shit like not a fan of. BN Yeah.
• 1:33:51
  Thank you, Brent. We're still.
• 1:33:53
  Trying to get him to do it, but we'll see.
• 1:33:55
  But if he didn't I'm not going to freaking like, you know, be
• 1:33:58
  like, all right, Brent. You're fired.
• 1:33:59
  Like. No, I I still.
• 1:34:02
  Like his car. Like, I'm just like, hey, me and
• 1:34:05
  Kevin got the BN thing going, so yeah.
• 1:34:08
  Yeah, it would be cool. But yeah, I mean, that's not
• 1:34:10
  even a big fucking deal, you know?
• 1:34:12
  The big deal would be like if he was like, you know, dude, I
• 1:34:14
  think I'm just going to, like, not paint it this year.
• 1:34:16
  I'm just going to have a big, big country lab wing.
• 1:34:19
  And then you're like that's. The stuff that I would probably
• 1:34:22
  be like. We gotta like what?
• 1:34:23
  Do you do? In that case, you have to do
• 1:34:25
  that. Have you ever had to deal with
• 1:34:26
  something like that? Intervention I.
• 1:34:28
  Don't know, like maybe I. Don't.
• 1:34:31
  I don't think we have, no. Not something that.
• 1:34:33
  Drastic. No, not somebody might say.
• 1:34:36
  I'm thinking of doing this. See.
• 1:34:38
  I think I what? Do.
• 1:34:39
  You what do you? Think and then I would be like,
• 1:34:41
  well, let's see it, you know, and then.
• 1:34:45
  But I don't think we ever ran into something that egregious
• 1:34:47
  where it would be like we're just.
• 1:34:49
  Throw everything off, Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:34:51
  Like, cuz it's so hard to keep A-Team, literally A-Team vibe.
• 1:34:55
  Literally. Yeah, I mean like that's cuz I
• 1:34:58
  feel like we're all on that team mindset right now because of
• 1:35:00
  where we are and what our environment is so well.
• 1:35:04
  You know, it's like having a team of cars that don't match at
• 1:35:06
  all is one thing, but having a team that like like these guys
• 1:35:09
  were all the cars that look so good together.
• 1:35:11
  But that's the thing, is like, I feel like they complement each
• 1:35:14
  other so well. It's not like they're all
• 1:35:16
  painted silver and they're all S chassis, yeah.
• 1:35:19
  It's. Technicolor.
• 1:35:20
  Yeah, it's. Technicolor it's all pastels.
• 1:35:25
  I mean, at one point we were maybe like, it would be cool if
• 1:35:28
  they're all one color, but I'm like, no, I think it's cooler if
• 1:35:30
  we all do our own thing and then we can tie it in with the
• 1:35:35
  graphics. But the graphics don't
• 1:35:36
  necessarily need to be the same. But.
• 1:35:38
  It'd be cool if they are. Like our Corolla, You know
• 1:35:41
  Patrick with his Corolla, he's got a different vinyl graphics
• 1:35:43
  package on his car than what we run like these three cars have.
• 1:35:47
  And. But it all still works, right?
• 1:35:49
  Yeah. But.
• 1:35:51
  You also don't have to have vinyl if you don't want to, you
• 1:35:54
  know, well, that would. Throw everything off.
• 1:35:57
  But yeah, it you know, yeah, that that's also not like the
• 1:36:00
  end of the world. I'm just thinking of crazy shit.
• 1:36:04
  Like if someone was just like, yeah, I don't think.
• 1:36:06
  I don't want to run a Bumper anymore.
• 1:36:08
  I'm. I just don't think, I think that
• 1:36:10
  you're discrediting these lovely gentlemen right here, because I
• 1:36:15
  don't think any of you guys are going to do any bullshit like
• 1:36:17
  that. Yeah, not going to worry.
• 1:36:19
  Yeah, no. Like, no, I don't put.
• 1:36:22
  One of those football helmet. Oh.
• 1:36:24
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I mean.
• 1:36:30
  Like I don't think and I think that's where a lot of teams.
• 1:36:34
  Are blessed almost because the group.
• 1:36:37
  It's not hard to make a decision since you guys are kind of on
• 1:36:39
  the on the same page, yeah. If you all have the same
• 1:36:41
  mindset, it's so much easier, yeah.
• 1:36:43
  Like, we all got into this before TikTok and YouTube and
• 1:36:46
  all that stuff took off, right? So you don't you a lot of those
• 1:36:49
  kind of awful ideas didn't probably percolate in anybody's
• 1:36:53
  head before. Like they all kind of, we all
• 1:36:56
  kind of got into it at the same time and we're able to.
• 1:37:00
  You know, I mean Brent was looking at IS stuff and building
• 1:37:03
  his car with that, you know all those stuff.
• 1:37:05
  You know Kevin was obsessed with FCS but he had an FRS, so me and
• 1:37:08
  him were trading FRS ideas and and another big.
• 1:37:10
  Thing that I just realized you all are from the Midwest.
• 1:37:14
  Yeah, yeah, so that's a massive thing because you have Risky
• 1:37:19
  Devil and Proceed and all those guys and breaking and like all
• 1:37:23
  the teams from around here were all, all the cars looked good
• 1:37:26
  already before final bout existed.
• 1:37:28
  You know, so it's like, yeah, we.
• 1:37:29
  Weren't the outliers trying to do this in in a scene that
• 1:37:32
  didn't have anything, 'cause I'll, I'll lump us in the
• 1:37:35
  Chicago scene, 'cause we're only a few hours away, Really, when
• 1:37:37
  you think about it, and all those guys is all what we looked
• 1:37:41
  at online. Right.
• 1:37:42
  Like so and saw in person and talked to and all that shit.
• 1:37:47
  And so you had really good role model type cars to get ideas
• 1:37:51
  from. Yeah, and like, you know,
• 1:37:52
  there's some scenes out there that probably.
• 1:37:55
  There's only a few guys that really care about having a nice
• 1:37:57
  car. That's our.
• 1:37:58
  That's ours and then the. Rest of the cars are all kind of
• 1:38:00
  like, you know, I'll say missile car or whatever, but yeah.
• 1:38:04
  And that's what I grew up around.
• 1:38:06
  It was like all missile car quote, UN quote, and then like
• 1:38:10
  us in Front St., Yeah. But I feel like now it's it's
• 1:38:13
  not, it's way different and that's why I was like, no, it's
• 1:38:15
  not right away because. There's I'd still say it's
• 1:38:17
  nothing like it is here, but it's better than it was.
• 1:38:20
  You haven't been to a regular drift, yeah.
• 1:38:22
  I was gonna say regular drift event isn't.
• 1:38:24
  This is not to the level it was when we first started going to
• 1:38:28
  events as far as like the cars I showed, but I kind of attribute
• 1:38:31
  that to the guys that built the really nice shit.
• 1:38:34
  Are all older now, so they're not going to go to drift days
• 1:38:36
  all the time. And then?
• 1:38:39
  Oh, so you're. Saying like maybe the social
• 1:38:41
  media thing really did the opposite effect.
• 1:38:43
  It kind of, I mean it like it kind of did like it.
• 1:38:46
  A lot of the cars there now are like the quote, UN quote.
• 1:38:49
  Kind of garbage shit you see. But also, yeah, think
• 1:38:52
  everybody's into the sport at a different time period.
• 1:38:55
  So they might you might look at a car somebody and go, that
• 1:38:58
  thing has a complete pile of garbage.
• 1:38:59
  This guy's like doing this, but that's just because they only
• 1:39:02
  started a year or two ago and they didn't they didn't like,
• 1:39:05
  get the that. They didn't know that they're
• 1:39:08
  doing that, and they might. Be able to afford it either,
• 1:39:10
  Yeah. And.
• 1:39:11
  Somebody brought that up to me or my our friend Ryan kind of
• 1:39:14
  said something that to me. Like 9 months ago and I was
• 1:39:17
  like, that's a way to think about that, that not everyone's
• 1:39:21
  probably purposely building a car.
• 1:39:22
  That's. You.
• 1:39:23
  Know to piss off the haters. It's just cuz they might not
• 1:39:27
  know that they're building a bad car.
• 1:39:29
  Oh. Yeah, there's a lot of those,
• 1:39:30
  for sure. Yeah.
• 1:39:30
  They're just not in. They don't.
• 1:39:32
  They don't know. Like.
• 1:39:34
  The older style cars and stuff they have, no, they have no
• 1:39:37
  idea. There's also.
• 1:39:37
  No forums anymore. Like, Like, I'm talking about JM
• 1:39:40
  Chicago earlier, and I'm looking at all this stuff.
• 1:39:41
  I'm taking it all in, soaking it in.
• 1:39:44
  That stuff's gone. Yeah, and all.
• 1:39:46
  Everything's lost to Facebook pages and whatever.
• 1:39:48
  And if the stuff that gets posted by those pages
• 1:39:51
  progressively gets worse or stupid, like, then people are
• 1:39:55
  gonna imitate that. I mean, look at in Japan there,
• 1:39:57
  it's a lot of mixture of stuff now.
• 1:39:59
  Now it's. Crazy.
• 1:40:00
  Yeah. So it's like it's just kind of
• 1:40:01
  everything's connected so much that everything's kind of
• 1:40:05
  different. But I just build your shit the
• 1:40:08
  way you want. Done, yeah?
• 1:40:09
  And then however it ends up, it ends up and if you get lucky and
• 1:40:12
  you end up like a team like this.
• 1:40:15
  In my eyes, that's fucking awesome.
• 1:40:16
  And one one thing if people want to curb that type of behavior
• 1:40:20
  with people like building shitty cars, I think is.
• 1:40:22
  Start going to more regular drift events.
• 1:40:24
  Show people that you're not just doing final bow, that you're
• 1:40:28
  doing regular events and that like that's What Car should be.
• 1:40:32
  That's pretty. Much what we did by us like the
• 1:40:34
  Front Street cars and our cars, we would go to events a lot.
• 1:40:36
  And then people. I remember people telling us,
• 1:40:38
  like, wow, yeah. It's kind of cool that cars look
• 1:40:41
  like that. Yeah, I'm not saying that we're,
• 1:40:43
  you know, we might not be able to afford to go to a bunch of
• 1:40:45
  regular drift events to to hopefully and I don't want Tudor
• 1:40:49
  on Horner like be a leading example or something.
• 1:40:51
  But it's just like that if the more people that have like
• 1:40:56
  really nice start cars and there's a lot of people in the
• 1:40:58
  Midwest that have really nice cars, like the more you drive,
• 1:41:00
  the more people that are just starting out or have crappy cars
• 1:41:03
  will hopefully be like, oh, I really want that.
• 1:41:06
  And maybe they might talk to you, they might learn something,
• 1:41:08
  they might do whatever. But also everybody can reach out
• 1:41:10
  to anybody on social media too. So and some.
• 1:41:13
  People just go to takeovers and yeah, well.
• 1:41:14
  That's, yeah. Does that happen around?
• 1:41:16
  What about takeovers? Don't even bring that up, yeah.
• 1:41:19
  Any police? It's a police area to the
• 1:41:21
  company. No, I just think that's not,
• 1:41:23
  it's probably not a big enough city for that to help, OK.
• 1:41:26
  I just hope that it stays that way, because it seems that you
• 1:41:29
  guys have a really good vibe around you.
• 1:41:31
  Everything seems to, at least to me, seem a little bit more laxed
• 1:41:34
  and that just might be because I come from like a more congested
• 1:41:36
  area. Where we're exposed to stuff
• 1:41:38
  like every day, like something random every day.
• 1:41:42
  So like, that's where social media comes in, 'cause you
• 1:41:44
  mentioned it earlier. And like, I don't know, I was
• 1:41:48
  kind of hoping that maybe it would be a good thing for out
• 1:41:53
  here, since you mentioned that it was like 10 years behind.
• 1:41:57
  I'm like, maybe social media can make that better, but do you see
• 1:42:00
  it like doing the opposite? I guess.
• 1:42:04
  I don't know. It's like I think, I think it's
• 1:42:08
  fast forwarded a few things, but drifting, being bigger in
• 1:42:13
  general, I think has really changed stuff.
• 1:42:16
  Like, there's way more people from this area that go to US
• 1:42:19
  Air, even if they don't drive yet, than there ever has been.
• 1:42:23
  You know, like when it was just. Our Like group.
• 1:42:27
  That was it from around here. Like you, if you told somebody
• 1:42:31
  what drifting was, they wouldn't even know.
• 1:42:33
  Not like everybody knows what drifting is.
• 1:42:36
  You. Know.
• 1:42:36
  Like Tokyo Drift? Yeah.
• 1:42:40
  So it's like there's there's a lot of, you know, I think a lot
• 1:42:43
  of people know. Kind of how to that that they
• 1:42:45
  don't build cool shit, but it's like there is there's still a
• 1:42:48
  lot of bad you know tuner cars that you see out there.
• 1:42:51
  Right. But I don't think, yeah,
• 1:42:54
  exactly. I that was me.
• 1:42:55
  Look, a guy that didn't know what the fuck he was doing.
• 1:42:57
  I wish. You still had the Eclipse.
• 1:42:58
  Well, he had a talent. But yeah, I had.
• 1:43:00
  I dug some pictures out like a while ago.
• 1:43:02
  Yeah, but did. We did.
• 1:43:05
  We happen to post any questions we did for you guys.
• 1:43:07
  We posted it. For Matt, but I'm sure there's
• 1:43:09
  some in here. I was going.
• 1:43:10
  To say we can, I would like to apply them to all of you because
• 1:43:13
  these some of these questions, sometimes they're good,
• 1:43:15
  sometimes they're bad. You never really know what
• 1:43:16
  you're going to get. But the social media thing is
• 1:43:19
  big on my mind right now just because of where final bout is,
• 1:43:22
  I guess. Yeah.
• 1:43:24
  And I've been in the car with Frankie for fucking like maybe
• 1:43:26
  19 hours or 21 hours. And like you give you take a lot
• 1:43:31
  of time to think about shit and like.
• 1:43:33
  This year I thought that. I think that thought.
• 1:43:35
  I think that final bout is going to be different just because of
• 1:43:37
  the exposure. Now it's so crazy.
• 1:43:41
  Like the fact that I knew you guys's cars without knowing your
• 1:43:44
  names. I think that's weird for me.
• 1:43:47
  Usually I'll at least be like, oh, that's that's that's mad or
• 1:43:51
  or that's Kevin or Brent. You should have been at the
• 1:43:53
  first final bout. Yeah, that shit.
• 1:43:56
  I mean, I was like pretty new to the scene at the time, but like
• 1:44:00
  all those people that a lot of almost what Frankie 3/4 of
• 1:44:04
  people there were meeting for the first time.
• 1:44:06
  Oh yeah, it was, it was awesome. Yeah.
• 1:44:08
  I mean, that was like like, that shit is and you're talking.
• 1:44:11
  People that knew each other for 10 years on the forums, yeah,
• 1:44:13
  And then they're like meeting for the first time.
• 1:44:15
  Nobody, nobody at that time, nobody had really put an event
• 1:44:18
  together that con. Everybody enough to the.
• 1:44:21
  Only other one was All Star Bash right?
• 1:44:23
  And that was before I was like following the scene or anything,
• 1:44:26
  but, you know, like Josh and Chav and all them, like went out
• 1:44:29
  West or whatever and met people. But otherwise it was probably
• 1:44:33
  just a few people here and there would visit different places and
• 1:44:35
  meet people. But like, nothing was like this.
• 1:44:38
  And then it turned into what it is now.
• 1:44:39
  Yeah, which? Is like, way bigger now.
• 1:44:42
  It's like a totally different thing.
• 1:44:44
  Oh, it's a machine. It's a machine now.
• 1:44:45
  I'm terrified. Yeah, because tomorrow or yeah,
• 1:44:48
  tomorrow might be kind of wild, yeah.
• 1:44:50
  You think there's going to be a lot of people there, I think
• 1:44:52
  that. There's going to be a shit load
• 1:44:53
  of people that can think about that.
• 1:44:54
  I was talking fun, yeah, I was talking with Simba and I think
• 1:44:57
  that this is probably going to be as big or bigger than Gallery
• 1:45:02
  20/19 was, which was when sexy style or sexy nights came.
• 1:45:06
  That's when we won, right? Yeah.
• 1:45:07
  I don't know. Yeah, you had us working.
• 1:45:09
  You came to that and. You drove that?
• 1:45:12
  Yeah, I think I. Did right.
• 1:45:13
  You drove? Final about four or you did not
• 1:45:15
  drove but you came to final about four, OK you.
• 1:45:17
  Drove Super D and Super D came here, you guys came to Super D.
• 1:45:21
  But yeah, Gallery was like, that was huge.
• 1:45:24
  That was my first final about event I ever drove.
• 1:45:26
  I had the FRS and like I got into that event because.
• 1:45:31
  My, our good friend of all of ours, but Modello Jones was
• 1:45:35
  like, yo, you should put this guy in the event because it was
• 1:45:37
  invite only. There was no comp to qualify or
• 1:45:39
  anything. And I got into that, met a bunch
• 1:45:42
  of people and like, yeah, that was an awesome event.
• 1:45:45
  And it was like, I don't know that, like, that made every
• 1:45:48
  regular drift event be like, Oh my God, this is, this is like.
• 1:45:52
  Like, whatever. Yeah.
• 1:45:53
  What? What is?
• 1:45:54
  What is a regular drift event now?
• 1:45:55
  Like, it was like, like you're trying to chase the dragon at
• 1:45:57
  that point, right? But but then you kind of realize
• 1:46:00
  like, oh, drifting. You got to tone it down.
• 1:46:01
  Like drifting is drifting, right.
• 1:46:03
  But so I'm. Looking at these questions and
• 1:46:06
  Modello Jones asks see, there he is.
• 1:46:08
  Wow. That you mentioned the name,
• 1:46:11
  this is a a good one. For all of you, what was
• 1:46:13
  Bayside's original name? Base.
• 1:46:18
  OK. So when I first made the name,
• 1:46:21
  it was base slide because you had, you had to put a little
• 1:46:25
  drift essence into it, yeah, so. That's not that bad.
• 1:46:29
  And and as a side note. I was trying to get, I wanted to
• 1:46:33
  trade stickers with people and I remember talking to Frankie on
• 1:46:37
  the interwebs back in the day and I sent him stickers and he
• 1:46:40
  sent me stickers back as a nice guy, that's good.
• 1:46:45
  Yeah, I. Definitely have those stickers,
• 1:46:46
  though. Yeah, they're probably
• 1:46:48
  somewhere, yeah. And then an OG dude, Edgar from
• 1:46:51
  Team Dark Squad shot at him. He's like, pulled me aside one
• 1:46:55
  day and he's like, you should drop the L, take the L out of
• 1:46:58
  the out of, out of the baseline and just make a baseline.
• 1:47:01
  And I was like, OK, And I did and I was like, and then it was
• 1:47:06
  like, totally made a difference, made it way more.
• 1:47:09
  He's like, because he's like team names shouldn't have
• 1:47:11
  anything to like do with drifting.
• 1:47:14
  And I was like, you're right. That.
• 1:47:16
  Is that is a very good point I mean.
• 1:47:19
  Shit. 'Cause now I'm thinking of all
• 1:47:21
  these other teams with, like, I'm trying to think of, like, I
• 1:47:25
  don't know, a team where you're like, oh, OK, like that's
• 1:47:28
  probably a drifting team. And it's like.
• 1:47:31
  Team Door Bash. Or something like that.
• 1:47:34
  Like, Oh my God, that's that's your teammate.
• 1:47:36
  That's your teammate. Is that a tough thing?
• 1:47:37
  But that was like, no, I don't know where that is.
• 1:47:39
  No, just call. Call them out.
• 1:47:40
  What are the ones you're thinking of?
• 1:47:41
  I. I.
• 1:47:42
  Can't think of any? It's hard to.
• 1:47:43
  Do it on the spot. Yeah, I I can't.
• 1:47:45
  Really think of anything. It's just I'm like yeah now I
• 1:47:48
  like the name. Now I now I notice the names
• 1:47:50
  that I like. Don't have anything to do, yeah.
• 1:47:52
  Don't have anything to do with driving.
• 1:47:54
  Like Club Sam. Like magnificent.
• 1:47:56
  Club. That's an That's the old team.
• 1:47:58
  What was it? Club Sandwich.
• 1:48:01
  Club. Sandwich.
• 1:48:02
  Yeah, that sounds fire, that was.
• 1:48:05
  Billy that was Billy and and Nick Gianni.
• 1:48:09
  And. I remember going to Final Bound,
• 1:48:10
  was it Mikey? I think Mikey, Mikey Mccutchen.
• 1:48:12
  Is there like, Club Sandwich? Yeah.
• 1:48:14
  I don't know. That works, I guess no.
• 1:48:17
  But like, magnificent that that name you kept, you keep you keep
• 1:48:20
  talking about that. Yeah, it's.
• 1:48:21
  A old team now, but or like. Proceed.
• 1:48:24
  You said proceed a bunch of times this past couple days and
• 1:48:27
  I'm like. Wow, Essence.
• 1:48:30
  You know, yes. Risky devil breaking.
• 1:48:34
  Breaking. Is the fucking best name I'd
• 1:48:37
  always see these Riverside stickers.
• 1:48:40
  Not knowing kind of the history at the time, but I was just
• 1:48:42
  like, oh, that's sick. Yeah, yeah, you know, so then
• 1:48:45
  it's like base every. Time you see one of the old
• 1:48:47
  Japanese names, you're like, I'll never think of something
• 1:48:50
  like that. And then now one of those guys
• 1:48:52
  affiliated with that team is like here.
• 1:48:54
  Yeah, yeah. All right, Well, that's cool.
• 1:48:57
  Base slide? Yeah, shout out.
• 1:48:58
  I got to find that sticker. John Kim asks you.
• 1:49:02
  Does he miss his FRS? I do only in the fact that it
• 1:49:07
  was. I didn't have to work on it.
• 1:49:10
  I could literally turn the key book ass and then go drifting.
• 1:49:12
  Yeah. And that's what Dave Bob said
• 1:49:13
  too, yeah. And I'm not even gonna ask Kevin
• 1:49:15
  about it now, because I kind of do what you feel.
• 1:49:18
  Yeah. I mean, I miss.
• 1:49:20
  I miss being able to drive whenever I wanted.
• 1:49:24
  Yeah. And like, I mean, it was a drift
• 1:49:27
  car and I drove it to Bozeman, Mt as a drift car and like, it
• 1:49:33
  did fine. I would never trust that.
• 1:49:37
  I don't trust that to go to Chicago from here.
• 1:49:39
  Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, that's that for me and
• 1:49:45
  Brent, your car was the same way for a while until you you went
• 1:49:47
  Wildman on it too, right? Like, Oh yeah.
• 1:49:52
  Yeah. Yeah, and like with the FRS, it
• 1:49:54
  for me, I was at a point too, with that car where I was like,
• 1:49:56
  the next step is to like go kind of crazy with it, yeah.
• 1:50:00
  Like SR20 or yeah, or something stupid.
• 1:50:02
  But then looking at what Lee did with the HKS Turbo, I was like,
• 1:50:05
  you know what? If I had that car now, I would
• 1:50:07
  have just did. I would just do that.
• 1:50:08
  That's what I would do, like knowing what I know now from.
• 1:50:10
  What I've seen Lee do, I was like I would just turbo the
• 1:50:13
  engine in it even though the engine's stupid like.
• 1:50:15
  Another question was, do you guys ever think you'd be backing
• 1:50:18
  FRS? Ever.
• 1:50:20
  If I had the funds I would maybe get one and do the Ras kit and
• 1:50:24
  all the shit like that. I photoshopped up on a car.
• 1:50:26
  I don't know if I have Kevin ever would though.
• 1:50:28
  No. She's straight up.
• 1:50:29
  No? Even though you might have the
• 1:50:32
  biggest reason to do that because this car breaks, but.
• 1:50:35
  I would probably get an RX8. OK.
• 1:50:38
  Yeah, whoa, OK cuz RX8 kind. Of relax.
• 1:50:42
  That's. Kind of.
• 1:50:44
  More. It's newer, yeah, so you would
• 1:50:47
  hope that it would be more reliable, but it's will maintain
• 1:50:50
  some of the characteristics. But then you have like that
• 1:50:53
  electric power steer yourself. Yeah, but you.
• 1:50:56
  Had that in. FRS did you?
• 1:50:58
  Guys have like a controller for that in the FRS.
• 1:51:01
  That wasn't that. Wasn't made now, right?
• 1:51:03
  So no. We were actually making our own
• 1:51:05
  stuff, like we were finding like suspension parts and steering
• 1:51:08
  parts that would fit from an S13 onto an FRS to like increased
• 1:51:14
  steering angle like no one made knuckles.
• 1:51:17
  For. My car when I was make like I
• 1:51:21
  made knuckles for my car like cut and Weld knuckles not like
• 1:51:25
  wide scrap shape oh. No.
• 1:51:26
  And the first ones were nothing. And I just drilled a new hole
• 1:51:32
  and then reamed it out and they they worked great, yeah.
• 1:51:35
  And then then you did the cut and Weld ones and gave me those
• 1:51:38
  other ones. I never ran them though.
• 1:51:39
  And then yeah, if we figured out S chassis rack spacers like
• 1:51:44
  worked. So like, I ran like those little
• 1:51:46
  5 mil spacers in my steering. You're.
• 1:51:50
  Ballsy for that. You're.
• 1:51:52
  You're like, it could that could maybe make or break that car.
• 1:51:57
  Like if you tested it and then like, you know and it didn't
• 1:52:00
  work. God forbid, like I'd freak out.
• 1:52:02
  I was. Still on lease?
• 1:52:06
  I My car was paid off for a. While.
• 1:52:13
  Like. You're like, is that car paid
• 1:52:15
  off? It's like fucking brand new.
• 1:52:17
  I did a couple of years making payment.
• 1:52:18
  I did only pay, made payments on like 2 years and I was able to
• 1:52:21
  save up enough and like pay it off the lease.
• 1:52:24
  Is wild. And then once it was paid off,
• 1:52:26
  that's when I like started doing a lot more like exterior stuff
• 1:52:30
  and tearing interior out and like doing other shit, yeah.
• 1:52:33
  But the lease, yeah. My car was still on lease and I
• 1:52:37
  crashed into Brent. Oh my gosh.
• 1:52:39
  I'm I'm like, imagine you had to return it.
• 1:52:42
  And let's say you were able to make it back to Stockland thing
• 1:52:45
  is. Someone owns that car right now,
• 1:52:47
  but. Then, but then I'm I'm thinking
• 1:52:48
  like since you drilled a hole in the knuckle and let's say you
• 1:52:50
  traded it in at that time I bought it.
• 1:52:52
  Oh, OK. Oh, you bought it?
• 1:52:54
  Yeah. And then and then I crashed it
• 1:52:56
  at. What was that?
• 1:53:00
  That was Gallery or Super DI. Can't remember which one, No it.
• 1:53:04
  Wasn't Super D, but you crashed it at one of those big events.
• 1:53:08
  It was final bout that. What that when you crashed it
• 1:53:11
  the first time, it wasn't into Brent.
• 1:53:12
  It was somebody else. Yeah, it.
• 1:53:13
  Was final about three. I crashed into Caleb when we
• 1:53:16
  were doing Super D layout. Oh.
• 1:53:18
  OK. And then I sold it to a guy
• 1:53:21
  named Brian Peter, who used to be a Formula D driver.
• 1:53:25
  He's from like the Milwaukee area and then he sold to the
• 1:53:29
  other guy that's still drifting anything.
• 1:53:31
  No. Then he sold it to another guy
• 1:53:32
  who sold it to another guy who sold it to the guy that owns it.
• 1:53:35
  It's. Still, yeah, it's Drift Car.
• 1:53:37
  Yeah, OK. Because I'm thinking if let's
• 1:53:40
  say sorry, sorry, Frank, no, I just gotta If I bought a car or
• 1:53:43
  I bought a car off the lot and I put it in the air and I saw a
• 1:53:46
  hole in the knuckle, I would be like, what the fuck?
• 1:53:50
  That's just that's just me thinking about that.
• 1:53:52
  No, I. Remember when I was talking
• 1:53:53
  about that team from this area that was at like?
• 1:53:57
  Sandwich No. It must have been final about
• 1:53:59
  two or three, and it was a team of Fr s s.
• 1:54:03
  A bunch of people sent me things.
• 1:54:04
  I don't know if you sent that was you were talking about funk
• 1:54:06
  ad and that was that was Slava and OK.
• 1:54:09
  That is the name I was thinking of.
• 1:54:10
  What is? It.
• 1:54:11
  And did you send me that after? No, but I was gonna.
• 1:54:15
  I was gonna text you and then I OK.
• 1:54:17
  You're the only one that got it right.
• 1:54:18
  So it's come because some people sent me like teams and I was
• 1:54:21
  like, no. It wasn't it.
• 1:54:22
  It was funk ad. Shout out Slava, shout out Phil
• 1:54:26
  Star and fuck. I can't remember it.
• 1:54:29
  Alex, I think was the other guy was fun about. 2.
• 1:54:32
  Yeah, yeah. Because the palm, the palm
• 1:54:34
  Treason. Yeah, the palm trees in front of
• 1:54:37
  their pit and everything. And they drove.
• 1:54:39
  They drove years in a row. They drove 2 and I think they
• 1:54:42
  drove 3. I think that shit was sick.
• 1:54:44
  And then? One of the guys moved away.
• 1:54:49
  Phil moved out to California, sold all his shit, I believe.
• 1:54:51
  Or he brought the car out there, then sold it, and then Slava
• 1:54:53
  sold his car and got AFC and now I don't think he's in drifting
• 1:54:57
  at all or. So I think too he was the one
• 1:54:59
  that I would talk to. I I've talked to him quite a bit
• 1:55:02
  and got a lot of like because he was the first one to get like
• 1:55:06
  200 horsepower NA on his car. He ran long tube header, like
• 1:55:10
  did a bunch of tuning and ran E85 and I was like, oh OK and it
• 1:55:14
  was like, I guess his car was like pretty bad ass And then I
• 1:55:18
  wanted to copy that, but I end up just doing a different setup,
• 1:55:21
  yeah. Yeah, well, now at least I got
• 1:55:24
  the I have that sticker too. Yeah, and I didn't even realize
• 1:55:26
  it, but yeah, OK, that makes sense.
• 1:55:28
  But do you miss your 86? Oh yeah, That when?
• 1:55:35
  I see 86. I'm like, yeah, 86.
• 1:55:40
  Some random ones in here that I'm not going to read.
• 1:55:42
  Why? Why switch from an FRS to an
• 1:55:45
  S13? Why not, yeah?
• 1:55:48
  I mean, it seems like you just like the car more, right?
• 1:55:49
  I like this S13 is just dream car as the styling that
• 1:55:53
  everything's better to me about it and I can run the big arrow,
• 1:55:56
  I can run the GT wings, I can run the cool wheels, I can get
• 1:55:59
  the SR20 like you get all this stuff right like and that's
• 1:56:02
  pretty much it. OK, I'll ask a weird one.
• 1:56:06
  What music? What music is worse, Disco or
• 1:56:08
  country? Disco.
• 1:56:11
  I like country, OK? Yeah, you guys all like country
• 1:56:13
  music, is that? AI don't like all country, but
• 1:56:16
  like if it's Alan Jackson 90s like country.
• 1:56:19
  Old country I can, I can, I can. Handle that like George.
• 1:56:23
  Strait, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:56:25
  I feel like most people buy us. Like if you liked country when
• 1:56:28
  like you were younger, it was weird as fuck.
• 1:56:31
  Like, I mean that's. I was just shocked because every
• 1:56:33
  radio station, so like we were driving through Ohio right there
• 1:56:38
  somewhere and Frankie just kept clicking through, dude.
• 1:56:42
  And it was like country music after country music after
• 1:56:44
  country. There's like 1 country.
• 1:56:46
  I like country music though. A lot of people probably don't
• 1:56:48
  think that, but and I know Malcolm does look at him, of
• 1:56:51
  course. Yeah, I know he does.
• 1:56:53
  Yeah, he's a good old boy. I mean, if you drive a pickup
• 1:56:57
  truck, you got to listen to country.
• 1:57:00
  Debatable. You guys live?
• 1:57:01
  You're from the city though. That's fine, yeah.
• 1:57:03
  City boys. Yeah.
• 1:57:05
  It's. I don't know.
• 1:57:06
  I'm. I like Country Ish music.
• 1:57:08
  Like, Malcolm knows you probably like what?
• 1:57:10
  Like Whalen and Willie? No.
• 1:57:11
  Taylor Swift? No, I'm not even thinking of
• 1:57:13
  Taylor Swift. But I do love Taylor Swift.
• 1:57:16
  I don't know, Malcolm, what would you consider it?
• 1:57:21
  OK, so you like the newer, the newer Outlaw style country or
• 1:57:24
  like whatever. Yeah.
• 1:57:25
  OK. Outlaw.
• 1:57:27
  That's like that. That's also my outlaw country.
• 1:57:29
  Yeah, it's like Sturdle Simpson in and like, yes.
• 1:57:32
  Yeah, that's good. Yeah, see, that's considered
• 1:57:34

  month ago, yeah. And wasn't even getting on it or
• 1:59:47
  anything. Out again.
• 1:59:49
  About OK, my. God.

• 1:59:54
  Cops banging on my door two days later just for a loud car.
• 1:59:58
  What? Yeah.
• 2:00:00
  That's fucking weird. I don't.
• 2:00:02
  Know if I can live there was a little.
• 2:00:03
  Town in the outskirts of Green Bay here, and I was driving
• 2:00:06
  around and my car's parked out there normally because it's not
• 2:00:10
  out there normally. Someone called it in or being
• 2:00:12
  loud. Cops come banging on my door.
• 2:00:15
  What the hell is this thing? It's my.
• 2:00:17
  Question to me. A bunch of shit like whatever.
• 2:00:20
  And then he just went on his way, but came fucking.
• 2:00:22
  They found me by my Instagram because I was driving around.
• 2:00:25
  It was right after Final about Central, so I.
• 2:00:29
  Towed my car home from the track because I got hit and I just
• 2:00:32
  didn't have my license plate on yet.
• 2:00:33
  Yeah, I forgot about it. I fucking fixed the car, took it
• 2:00:37
  for a driver on the block, came back and that's when the guy
• 2:00:40
  called in. And they didn't have my license
• 2:00:43
  plate, anything. They found me from my Instagram,
• 2:00:46
  from all the logos that were on my car.
• 2:00:47
  Oh my God, so the SO the cops here are very bored.
• 2:00:50
  Yeah, very. That.
• 2:00:51
  Takes moderate amount of effort and and digging they should try
• 2:00:56
  very much. And he was like, it was crazy
• 2:00:58
  looking through your page and seeing your car go from red to
• 2:01:01
  white to green. And I'm like.
• 2:01:03
  The. Hell man, you're creeping.
• 2:01:06
  It's like cool that they creeped on you.
• 2:01:07
  Or or like, it's like scared. Like it's weird, right?
• 2:01:09
  I saw your car and it's like, yeah, you're a fucking creep.
• 2:01:12
  That's all it is. It's not.
• 2:01:13
  I'm not scared like, you're fucking weird, dude.
• 2:01:15
  Like, leave me alone. Jesus.
• 2:01:17
  Crazy dude. I'm glad we live in a heavy
• 2:01:19
  populated area for that, for a reason like that very.
• 2:01:22
  Over policed. Yeah, like, literally.
• 2:01:25
  There's like 500 people in this town.
• 2:01:28
  There's probably 40 cops. That's a lot, right 40?
• 2:01:34
  Cops. That's a lot.
• 2:01:36
  Yeah, that is a lot the amount. Of people is that.
• 2:01:39
  A lot. Yeah.
• 2:01:39
  There's 100 crazy in here. Oh damn, I stay in.
• 2:01:42
  Town that the cop? Yes.
• 2:01:44
  Police. Small.
• 2:01:45
  Town Yeah, it was a. Small town police ship like
• 2:01:48
  police town officer that came knocking on my door.
• 2:01:51
  It wasn't just like an area cop. It's that weird, Yeah.
• 2:01:55
  We never, we don't really deal with that.
• 2:01:56
  Very rarely will something like that ever happen.
• 2:01:58
  But like, exhausting this is. Bizarre big thing.
• 2:02:01
  So. It's that 1.5, man.
• 2:02:03
  Just getting you into trouble, COVID.
• 2:02:05
  Everything got, like, really relaxed.
• 2:02:07
  Dude, let me. Tell you, drifting during COVID
• 2:02:09
  would have been sick. I didn't have a drift card
• 2:02:11
  during COVID because I was a dumbass and sold it like
• 2:02:13
  literally right before and I think that's what caused COVID.
• 2:02:16
  Like I sold an S13 Sr. hatch were way too cheap and then
• 2:02:19
  COVID was like. No, but during.
• 2:02:23
  That time like. Was it different here too?
• 2:02:26
  Like, did you did you think you could do it more?
• 2:02:28
  Or were the cops still out? Like clearly.
• 2:02:31
  They they were out just as much and there's not as many people
• 2:02:34
  on the road so now. You're now you're taking extra
• 2:02:36
  fucked. Well that's pretty much it for
• 2:02:40
  questions. So we kind of should probably
• 2:02:43
  hit the road and go to final bout.
• 2:02:45
  Yeah, we're. Late as fuck, yeah.
• 2:02:46
  And. I I hate to do that just cause
• 2:02:48
  like I've I've I know if it feel it felt a little rushed and
• 2:02:52
  like. How long was it?
• 2:02:54
