Latest / After-Hours with Faction! Motorsports / #141 - Josh Buado: Midwest Drifter
Transcript
- 0:00What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another episode
- 0:01of the After Hours podcast. On today's episode, we had Josh
- 0:05Wado at the studio. He was in the area because he
- 0:08had a job down here somewhere. So he decided to shoot us a
- 0:12message and we made this work, which is pretty convenient
- 0:15because Josh is from the Chicago area.
- 0:17So it's, you know, 1 less podcast we got to do when we do
- 0:21our final bout trips. But Josh has been drifting for
- 0:24years now. I, I want to say potentially 10
- 0:27years or more at this point. And yeah, he's got a bunch of
- 0:30cool stories. I feel like we didn't really
- 0:32talk about drifting much in this, which is I guess pretty
- 0:36typical at this point for us, but we definitely hit on a lot
- 0:40of good points. So before we get started, I just
- 0:42want to mention that we are doing another giveaway on our
- 0:45website. Every $5 is one entry to win.
- 0:49And the prize for this month of March, it is a $1500 shopping
- 0:54spree with GK Tech. So GK Tech is helping us out
- 0:58with this one. And yeah, I'm, I'm pretty stoked
- 1:01on this. This might be one of the best
- 1:03surprises we've done so far. So you definitely want to check
- 1:05that out. And don't forget that any
- 1:07faction merch is double entries. So for every $5 gets you one
- 1:12entry and every $5 spent on faction merch gets you 2
- 1:16entries. Make sure to get those orders in
- 1:18before the end of the month. And now a word from our
- 1:20sponsors. Before we dive into this
- 1:21episode, this podcast is sponsored by East Coast Drift
- 1:25School. East Coast Drift School is a
- 1:27driving school focused on learning the art of drifting.
- 1:29Conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in

- 1:48is also the place where you can get some extra seat time.
- 1:51Chris allows private track time but no instructing as well so
- 1:54that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
- 1:56event or competition you have coming up.

- 2:16Chase Bays has been a household name in our industry for over 15
- 2:20years, supplying us with tons of fluid power products such as
- 2:23power steering cooler kits, oil catch cans, engine oil coolers,
- 2:27hydraulic handbrake kits, and of course their dual piston brake
- 2:31booster delete kits which fit a wide variety of vehicles.
- 2:35The core values of Chase Bays is function, simplicity, quality,
- 2:38quality and aesthetic. All of their products are user
- 2:41friendly and easy to install while of course looking the
- 2:44part. The quality of their products
- 2:46has only increased over the years and now with Front Street
- 2:48Drift Club being a sponsored team of Chase Bays, you can
- 2:52guarantee the products are stress tested as well.
- 2:55I'm currently digging their compact intercooler sprayer
- 2:57reservoir kit. This kit includes a pump and
- 3:00pigtail to wire it up to any switch you want.
- 3:02I've been a big fan of sleek looking OEM style intercooler
- 3:05sprayers ever since Subaru had one on the STI and this kit
- 3:08provides you with what you need to get started.
- 3:11If you need any more info on any of their products, make sure to
- 3:14take a look at their product descriptions.
- 3:16They have some of the most detailed descriptions I've read
- 3:18with tons of information. You can check out Chase Bay's
- 3:21products and place your orders directly on our website at
- 3:24factionmotorsports.com. And make sure to use the coupon
- 3:27code Chase Bay's After Hours with no spaces to save on
- 3:31checkout. This podcast is also sponsored
- 3:34by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Automotive Specialty Wraps is a
- 3:37company specializing in paint protection, film vehicle wraps,
- 3:40ceramic coatings, and window tinting located in Fairlawn, New
- 3:43Jersey. Owned and operated by car
- 3:46enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
- 3:48of experience in the industry. Ceramic coating is one of their
- 3:51specialities and is the service they offer that caught my eye
- 3:54first. In the 60s, NASA and the US
- 3:57military formulated a ceramic coating to be used on spacecraft
- 4:01and planes. This coating would be able to
- 4:03protect them from harsh conditions.
- 4:05Following that, in the early 2000s, ceramic coatings were
- 4:09revamped to be used in the automotive industry.
- 4:12These coatings give your cars paint extra protection while
- 4:15also making it shine. Wax only last for a couple of
- 4:18weeks at most, but ceramic coatings last for a year or
- 4:21longer. They perform a full 2 stage
- 4:23Polish to the car beforehand to make sure the vehicle is in
- 4:26perfect condition before applying the coating.
- 4:28This service can also be applied to wheels, which would be the
- 4:31best thing you can do to a new set of wheels you just picked up
- 4:33if you are looking to protect them for years to come.
- 4:36As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
- 4:38protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
- 4:41tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic tinting
- 4:45depending on your needs. Paint protection film or PPF is
- 4:48a great idea for those new vehicle owners that want to
- 4:51protect their paint before it gets chipped up driving down the
- 4:54highway. I always suggest having at least
- 4:56the front end done in PPF like the front bumper, fenders and
- 5:00hood. ASW is now offering mobile
- 5:02detailing and this is no basic car wash, it's more of a 2 hour
- 5:06spa session for your car using special soaps designed to
- 5:09extract toxins out of your paint.
- 5:11And the best part is they will come to your house, job or even
- 5:14our shop when your car is being serviced to get the wash done.
- 5:17From protecting your tow rigs exterior to full delivery
- 5:20installations on your drift car, they have you covered.
- 5:23You can contact them at automotive specialtywraps.com
- 5:26and make sure to mention our podcast.
- 5:28They are currently offering 10% off mobile washes and tinting
- 5:31services for our listeners. Limitless Auto Fab is a
- 5:34fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
- 5:37They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
- 5:41models in the drifting community.
- 5:42We started selling their products earlier this year and
- 5:45have heard nothing but great things since.
- 5:47Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
- 5:50Fabricated from inch and a half mild steel tubes, these bars are
- 5:53designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
- 5:56avoid or minimize damage to your body or frame.
- 5:59My favorite part about these bash bars is that they are
- 6:01designed in a way that helps hold most aftermarket bumpers up
- 6:04at the correct height, unlike a lot of other aftermarket bars
- 6:07that require you to either Weld additional brackets on or
- 6:10install those big foam rubber pieces to raise the bumpers up
- 6:14to avoid bumper sag. This is a huge pet peeve of mine
- 6:17when installing bash bars at the shop, so I'm really glad about
- 6:20this feature. Gone are the days of trying to
- 6:23keep your rusty rear factory crash bar because you are
- 6:26worried about bumper fitment issues with an aftermarket one.
- 6:29Their bars also come with jacking points and optional
- 6:32license plate brackets, so everything you need is right
- 6:34there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
- 6:37cans for a handful of specific models.
- 6:39These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
- 6:42We have used these cans before in the shop with no issues and
- 6:45they look great as well. The guys over at Limitless are
- 6:48on social media as well at Limitless under score Auto under
- 6:52score Fab. So please make sure to check out
- 6:54their Instagram and give them a follow.
- 6:56They post photos of all the drift cards using their products
- 6:59from Front Street Drift Club to Animal Style.

- 8:49right? Baato.
- 8:50Baato. No.
- 8:51Ask Baatos if there's two of you, that's your.
- 8:53Cousin, you should know how to say his name.
- 8:55No, we're not actually cousins. That's I didn't want to say that
- 8:59just because in case somebody else was going to be like, oh,
- 9:03another Filipino guy, Carl's cousin.
- 9:05That's crazy. But thank you for coming on the
- 9:07pod. No problem man, thanks for.
- 9:08Having me. You're not from around here?
- 9:09No. Where are you from?
- 9:10Chicago. Yep.
- 9:11That's northwest suburb. Yeah, we, we know how it goes.
- 9:14Everyone says they're from. Chicago in and just just for
- 9:17this podcast, just for this podcast only he flew in.
- 9:19Yeah, yeah. Crazy.
- 9:21We we flew him out, yeah. Yeah, on Frankie's dying.
- 9:24Yep. That's how it goes.
- 9:26Yeah, we should be flying people out.
- 9:28Yeah. No, it didn't happen.
- 9:29That did not happen. Please don't.
- 9:30You're working. I'm working.
- 9:31Out here. Yeah, Delaware.
- 9:32Delaware. OK, don't think that we do that,
- 9:34please. How is beautiful Delaware these
- 9:36days? Awful.
- 9:38What's it like down there? Is it?
- 9:40Dude, there's. Glooming there is it empty do.
- 9:42You go down the street from where we're working, it's bad,
- 9:45bad. They're like, don't drive down
- 9:47the street. Oh.
- 9:48Wow all. Right, I didn't know that.
- 9:49I didn't know that either. I thought it was just like no
- 9:51sales tax and it was sick. Yeah, I know that.
- 9:53That's the best part, yeah. Yeah.
- 9:56I've, I've, I've used that. My brother lives down there,
- 10:01right on the kind of closer to that border than you were to go
- 10:03up here. And there's a Tire Rack
- 10:06warehouse in Delaware. All the warehouses are in there.
- 10:10I wonder why? Yep, I bought.
- 10:12I bought like 3 lifts down there.
- 10:13I put them in the bed of my truck.
- 10:14That's exactly what I did, well not with lifts but with tires
- 10:18like I bought. I bought all terrain tires new
- 10:20one new all terrain tires for my Koya the first one and they were
- 10:24like $1000 and then I went and bought them from they.
- 10:28Were like, fuck that, we're going down there and picking
- 10:30them. Up I went.
- 10:31I went and bought them from Delaware and they were like
- 10:33$800. I don't know if really that's
- 10:36how much I saved, but it was it was definitely more than 100
- 10:38bucks. Yeah.
- 10:40So then I had my brother get them and then I went down there
- 10:43and had somewhere, I had him find somewhere to get the tires
- 10:46mounted. So then when I got down, I just
- 10:48put them on the truck. OK, Took it off roading right
- 10:51away. Good idea.
- 10:52Yeah, Yeah. I mean that's not it's nice
- 10:55being that close to it, but then that fucking lift shop closed
- 10:59down. They ran it.
- 11:00You ran them out of business. I don't know what it is, but I'm
- 11:03mad about it honestly because like, I needed another, I needed
- 11:07another lift and I was like, fuck, I'm paying for sales tax
- 11:09this time. But Delaware's, That's basically
- 11:14all we use Delaware for. Like somebody from Delaware is
- 11:17not going to appreciate. I really hope there's someone
- 11:19from Delaware listening to this, but.
- 11:21Honestly, anywhere we've gone, they're like everyone comes here
- 11:24to buy stuff. That's all.
- 11:26Like the? It's the smallest or it's the
- 11:29quickest state and you're driving the.
- 11:30Smallest state. Too, like because when you're on
- 11:33a road trip to go anywhere. Malcolm, can you look that up
- 11:35for me? Probably Rhode Island.
- 11:38I would take a guess that it would probably be Also no, not
- 11:41Rhode. Island.
- 11:41I don't know but it. Was smallest.
- 11:43I just no, no, no, no, it's not small, but it's it's like
- 11:46skinny. So then when you're driving
- 11:48South like I will be April 4th to go to mid pond for drift of
- 11:52the pond, you're it's like 40 minutes worth and it's like
- 11:56Brandon, Maryland. Rhode Island.
- 11:58Now look at how big Delaware is. So this is 1200 square miles.
- 12:01Yeah, Josh, we don't talk about drifting at all on here.
- 12:03I'm sorry. That's fine.
- 12:06It's a isn't it? Refreshing.
- 12:07Double the size. You thought we were going to
- 12:09test you about Sr. Yeah, 2400, double the size.
- 12:14It is a 40 minute maybe, maybe less when you're on the
- 12:19Turnpike. It's like blue Maryland.
- 12:21This is got me questioning Rhode Island now.
- 12:23Why does that even exist? Can you bring me up a map?
- 12:27Sorry. You're working.
- 12:30You're working. Thank you, Malcolm.
- 12:31By the way, Malcolm is on this podcast with us.
- 12:33Today, I guess we could just do the East Coast or something,
- 12:35but. OK, now you're asking for a.
- 12:39Lot because like, you can't even see it on that map.
- 12:43You're looking for the word New England.
- 12:44Yes, these maps are useless. You might you have a better shot
- 12:47going to Google Maps. Bro what is that?
- 12:49Yeah, there you. Go.
- 12:52Here we. Go look at Rhode Island up
- 12:54there. OK, now look at Delaware back
- 12:56up. OK, Delaware.
- 12:58Yeah, it's about double the size.
- 13:01I know a sweet girl from Rhode Island once.
- 13:03Yeah. Don't get to talk to her
- 13:04anymore, OK? God.
- 13:08Damn it, these these states make New Jersey look massive.
- 13:11No New Jersey just feels massive because I feel like purse.
- 13:15Like I don't know how else to say this but.
- 13:17And I don't know if this is the same way in Chicago too, but
- 13:20where the fuck has been? But sorry, my phone was randomly
- 13:26ringing but everywhere you look there's a person.
- 13:29Not in a freaky way, but I mean like there's probably a person
- 13:34at least within a mile of where you are at all times.
- 13:36Look how big in New Jersey. So like, I don't know if it's
- 13:40the same over there because now when you're looking like every
- 13:42mile, like now you have Wisconsin, I don't think there's
- 13:45a person every mile there. Hell no, Hell no, there's a cow.
- 13:48There's a cow there. I mean there might be farm.
- 13:51Look at the size of Illinois and then look at New Jersey.
- 13:55Yeah, but I don't even know the bottom part of Illinois.
- 13:58We only go to the. Same part, I really never knew
- 14:00that there was a bottom little jagged edge.
- 14:01Have you been there? Yes, Yeah.
- 14:03What's that like? Is it like a that's where the
- 14:05farms are or No, that's not? As bad as you think.
- 14:08Yeah, we're not. Talking about geography or
- 14:11didn't like but like the environment we talking like.
- 14:14It's definitely small town for sure.
- 14:16Yeah, I've had to take a guess. The bottom of Illinois is
- 14:19probably like Ohio. You ever like if you think
- 14:24that's weird, imagine like what that bottom tip of like South
- 14:26Dakota is or like, oh. South Dakota, I'll go there
- 14:29right now. That's Sturgis.
- 14:30I would probably. Love that.
- 14:32Yeah, that's where that's where we're headed.
- 14:34On my excess 6 feet, no, I've got this like really old bike
- 14:39and it's just not great to ride right now.
- 14:42Actually, it really wasn't really ever, but it works.
- 14:46Sorry, I'm a map guy. I like to look at maps.
- 14:49Yeah, we're done with that. OK, Jesus.
- 14:51All right. My bad.
- 14:52So Delaware and you were there for work?
- 14:54For work. Yeah.
- 14:55So what do you do exactly? Yeah.
- 14:56So I work for a trucking company.
- 14:58Yep, just a project manager, but we had just acquired, so we're
- 15:01helping train all the new people there, get the system set up,
- 15:05all that. So you just flipped your whole
- 15:07world upside down. So it's it's like freight
- 15:09trucking and all that like. Big semis, OK Semi trucks and
- 15:13trailers. You're APM, do you have a, did
- 15:15you go to school for that or like do you have APM?
- 15:17No. So I kind of like transitioned
- 15:19into that through my job. So I came on as a trainer, but
- 15:23then I kind of like we needed PM.
- 15:24So I kind of just what would you call it just learned under
- 15:29somebody per SE and then just kind of yeah.
- 15:33Oh shit, that made fucking way better.
- 15:35Yeah, holy crap. Yeah no, cuz I noticed last week
- 15:37I. Just kind of came through the
- 15:38rings and then just kind of, I don't have an actual PMP.
- 15:41Yeah, there. You go.
- 15:43But the nice thing is, if I do do it, they'll pay for my whole
- 15:46schooling. That's sick.
- 15:47If I pass the test. I was trying to.
- 15:50Sorry to cut you off, Carl. What, what is this trucking
- 15:52like? What is what does the situation
- 15:54look like? Like, do people bring in
- 15:56supplies and then you're like a distribution center?
- 15:59So we have distribution centers, OK.
- 16:02So we acquired a service location.
- 16:04So we have service and parts. So we have over 330 locations in
- 16:09my company, all between parts and service and for distribution
- 16:12warehouses. So you guys are actually working
- 16:14on the trucks? Yep, semis, all that.
- 16:18I am. I have no idea how this world
- 16:20works like the trucking world. Y'all hiring?
- 16:22I got a degree. I was this analyst.
- 16:24He's a dead ass theory. I worked in hops.
- 16:28Yep, I would have. I would hire, I would work there
- 16:30in a heartbeat. You look like a happy guy, you
- 16:33know what I mean? Sometimes you talk to somebody
- 16:34and when they talk about where they work, I mean it, it is
- 16:38work, but I mean that company, Good for them.
- 16:40And you don't have the name of whoever the fuck it is, but man,
- 16:42good for them because they got you.
- 16:43Like not got you, but you got them.
- 16:46That's good. 14 years, holy book.
- 16:49Same. But because then that's like 14
- 16:55years, that means he told me how old he was.
- 16:58So how old? 35.
- 17:01OK, so one year older than me all.
- 17:03Right. We look like we're the same age
- 17:05though. You are aging relatively fast,
- 17:08girl. I know right here.
- 17:10Right in my back just. Right to it bad.
- 17:12No, he's fine. No, I'm good, I think for a few
- 17:14more years. You look good though for your
- 17:16age. Thank you.

- 17:43a lot. Scared to Malcolm?
- 17:45Don't ask Malcolm. When was the last time you seen
- 17:47a doctor? Probably same 7-8 years maybe.

- 18:14more. Yeah, but like how do?
- 18:16You find one, you know that's. What he's talking about, he
- 18:18doesn't even know. The last time I went to a
- 18:20doctor, I went to one of those urgent care.
- 18:23No one of those like City, MD. That's on the.
- 18:27Side of a highway. Fucking that's urgent care.
- 18:29OK then. Yeah, that's.
- 18:30Urgent care? Yeah, that's one of the most
- 18:31prominent urgent cares in our area.
- 18:33And they gave me my, my blood results and everything.
- 18:35And they're like, yeah, you're great.
- 18:37And I was like, Are you sure that's mine?
- 18:38And they're like, yeah, I was like, I only eat Oreos.
- 18:40No. No, no, no, wait.
- 18:41This was seven years, eight years ago.
- 18:43OK. I was going to say logistically
- 18:45how I get my blood drawn is I go to a lab place that is like
- 18:50meant for taking blood because they don't just do that.
- 18:53So you go to there, they take your blood, they fill it in that
- 18:55little vial shit, you pass out, you wake up, they.
- 18:58Give you a cookie. I don't know if you're supposed
- 18:59to pass out, but. Yeah, they give you a cookie and
- 19:01then your ass hurts and you're like, why is my ass hurt?
- 19:03Like, But then you go outside of the doctor's office and you wait
- 19:06because that has to go to the lab.
- 19:08Where's my spleen? That's where my.
- 19:09Oh God, that's that's what my mom does.
- 19:13She's at the lab, so that's why I know about this.
- 19:15Oh, she does that. She's the one examining the
- 19:17blood in. What so if I just take my blood
- 19:19out myself and give it to her? No, that's not how it works
- 19:21because it's because those little containers, those vials
- 19:24have to be cheaper. They're yes.
- 19:27But are you hearing yourself right now?
- 19:29I'm. You're sounding like a real
- 19:30Carl, right? Now I'm cheap.
- 19:33But those little vials don't let oxygen hit the blood, so then
- 19:36it's like the literally how it comes out of your body.
- 19:39So tell her to get me one and we'll.
- 19:40I guess, yeah, that we just need that thing right Then we got it.
- 19:43But then it goes from there to your doctor and then your
- 19:46doctor. It will then tell you the
- 19:48results. Like I don't really want to pay
- 19:50a doctor to just come into a room for like 5 minutes and then
- 19:53charge me an hour of Labor. Will people come here and do
- 19:55that? It's a skill set.
- 19:57No, no, no. They drop their car off and
- 19:59leave. Well, and then they don't know
- 20:01what's going on. This guy's not like you're
- 20:03comparing. Neat hours.
- 20:05You're comparing faction Motorsports to a healthcare.
- 20:08Facility. It is kind of like a healthcare
- 20:09facility. No, yes, kind of.
- 20:12Sort of really. There's a service you pay for.
- 20:15It and sometimes you wait, you know.
- 20:17Sometimes you wait. I'd rather you not.
- 20:19But the doctor is important because what you're paying for
- 20:21there is like you'll have all these results, like you got
- 20:24fucking crazy hemoglobin or whatever the fuck reboflavin,
- 20:28which is a shit in Kool-aid, and they'll be able to tell you
- 20:32like, hey, you're eating way too many Oreos.
- 20:37Like you're borderline gonna be a diabetic.
- 20:39You should slow down. Yeah, that's one of the reasons.
- 20:42But they'll tell you that because your blood is high in
- 20:44something blood sugar. That's easy, but I mean my.
- 20:47Cholesterol is gonna be yeah, is what I think.
- 20:49Yeah. No you regularly.
- 20:51Exercise though, Yeah, but does that just delete your
- 20:54cholesterol? No, Cheerios does.
- 20:56I stopped. Yeah.
- 20:58No, it's true. Cereal's not good.
- 20:59Josh, you probably got high not not for.
- 21:01Cholesterol, yeah. I'm looking at.
- 21:03Giving myself a shot. You're a Filipino boy.
- 21:05Some or every two weeks. Wait, what?
- 21:08For cholesterol? No, don't tell me that.
- 21:10I swear to God, don't tell me that.
- 21:11Bro did they give you any alternate methods like don't?
- 21:13So I try. Minions.
- 21:15Three regular. That's like 1.
- 21:17Counter pills. Like.
- 21:18Where do you get cholesterol from?
- 21:20Just like. What, Are you serious?
- 21:22I don't know anything. Fatty foods saturated.
- 21:26Yeah, so like fatty steak. Malcolm, can you actually get we
- 21:29should so red meat. I'm not going to tell you what
- 21:31you get cholesterol from because I'm probably going to tell you
- 21:33the wrong thing. So and somebody's listening this
- 21:35and going, Oh my gosh, like so why don't we just look at it
- 21:38this way? You get it from.
- 21:43Yeah, this is way too hard to understand all.
- 21:45Right. What is?
- 21:46Collective Look look up what What foods do you get?
- 21:49How do you? Yeah, yeah.
- 21:51There we go. There we go.
- 21:53Come on bro. Yo AI is playing games not?
- 21:57Exercising. OK, that's one thing that will
- 21:59increase it. Smoking.
- 22:01OK Oh God. Drinking too much alcohol?
- 22:03OK. Being overweight, It looks like
- 22:05I'm good. I'm not.
- 22:07I think you're good. Literally I don't do any of
- 22:09those. I I eat unhealthy.
- 22:12The first one I eat unhealthy sometimes.
- 22:14Though Like OK, here's an unhealthy fat that filling in
- 22:16between the Oreo, yes. Definitely any.
- 22:18Anything like that whipped up bones.
- 22:20Or look up saturated fats are found in any in fatty meats and
- 22:24dairy. Oh.
- 22:25You love milk too? I don't love milk, but I like it
- 22:27with Oreos, yeah. But the problem with me and Josh
- 22:32is we we grew up eating. Just example A right there in
- 22:39that second sentence. Fatty meats and dairy.
- 22:43True. OK dude.
- 22:44Like. Pork.
- 22:45Yeah, kind of pork. What did you eat growing up?
- 22:47Are you were you? Are you like how Filipino are
- 22:49you? Ain't like the traditional
- 22:51adobo? But rice with every meal?
- 22:54I had no idea that was bad. Did you know that?
- 22:56That's bad. No, I started doing that after I
- 22:58met Miyagi, so that's probably not good either.
- 23:00That's not bad, apparently, right?
- 23:01White rice. White rice isn't bad or it is
- 23:04bad. It it is bad.
- 23:05It is bad. I think it does something I
- 23:07keep. Hearing either or Brown.
- 23:09Brown is better. OK.
- 23:10White is good. Yeah, I don't.
- 23:12I feel like Brown, your body doesn't break it down or
- 23:15something like that. And somebody told me that it
- 23:17could hit something, it could mess up something back there.
- 23:20Yeah, now I'm kind of interested.
- 23:21Now I kind of want to go to the doctor.
- 23:23I'm. Good, but probably still won't
- 23:26Filipino foods alone like this. They're just very salty.
- 23:31Oh yeah, salty too, but does that.
- 23:33Like a dope. God, so good.
- 23:37It's so good dude. Yeah, the food is good.
- 23:40You got a good you got a good adobo recipe in your family.
- 23:43My mom's. Lucky my mom cannot cook she
- 23:48just started learning but like. Yeah, Why are there so many
- 23:51Filipinos in Chicago and why do they all drift?
- 23:55I wonder. Who me, Melvin.
- 23:57Josh Job. I'm sure there's got to be.
- 24:00There's more. There's got to be more, dude.
- 24:02So there's only 5 of you really. Don't say don't don't and don't
- 24:06be going of you bro like that's. Like, well, they're all
- 24:10Filipino. I guess, but like.
- 24:13Yes, this is race. Racially motivated, Yes, I am.
- 24:16And you guys all are all the same age kind.
- 24:18Of they're a little older than I am.
- 24:20Oh, yeah. Shit.
- 24:21Hey, good. Good for them.
- 24:22That was a bad hit on you, but that's all right.
- 24:25Yeah, Chaub is. Looks.
- 24:26Chaub looks a little older than all of us.
- 24:29Sorry, Chaub. The thing is, you could say the
- 24:31same thing to us when you come here.
- 24:32Why are there so many Filipinos in New Jersey?
- 24:35Because you're literally at this shop.
- 24:37No, but you had to specify when they drift.
- 24:39And I'm like, I think that's just what you think of when you
- 24:41think of Chicago Drift. It is.
- 24:45It is. Yeah.
- 24:45Because of Chop and Josh and Mel?
- 24:48Yeah. Dude, Mel has the best looking
- 24:50car there. That's your favorite one?
- 24:52Yeah, the color talks. It's like light green.
- 24:55So it's just super clean. Yeah.
- 24:58But do you have? Can you pull up a picture?
- 25:00Of Josh's. Car because for those of you who
- 25:02don't know, what do you what do you drive?
- 25:04I got a hatch S13 hatch. How long are you at it?
- 25:07So this is my third chassis. So the first one, I guess we can
- 25:11start from the beginning. I got from Edgar from D Squad.
- 25:15So how I got introduced to drifting was I went to a party
- 25:19and I saw I met my friend Rob. He's like he had his S14 at
- 25:23time. Just fans battles, all that and
- 25:26he's like, hey, you like cars, right?
- 25:27And I was like, yeah, he's like hey, come to this car meet.
- 25:30He's like it's next week. I'm like, sure.
- 25:32I have no idea where we're going, right.
- 25:34He's like, hey, we're going to doggy factory and this is
- 25:36before. I think this is this was their
- 25:39second location before where they're at now.
- 25:42So they had two separate. It was like one for parts and
- 25:45then you had to drive down the street to where they had their
- 25:48shop. OK.
- 25:50So we get there and I'm like holy shit.
- 25:52And it just like flooded and I'm like here was.
- 25:55This I. Want to say like 20/10/20?
- 25:5911 Oh yeah, that sets the mood. So no phones really 20.
- 26:05It's before Instagram really. Yeah.
- 26:07So you were. It was lit, dude.
- 26:09It was probably. Yeah, and I was the kid showing
- 26:12up on a Honda because I. Because you didn't have the.
- 26:16No, but I was interested, right? So he brings me in there and I'm
- 26:19just, man, I'm like, I didn't really know a lot because like,
- 26:23I was like, who's who, you know, I didn't really know a lot of
- 26:25people at the time. And then that's when middle of
- 26:28the meet and you just start hearing all these cars rolling
- 26:30in, right? It's risky dabble.
- 26:32So that's when Lee's car was with the Supra.
- 26:34When was that baby blue? AJ starts rolling in.
- 26:37I'm like, man, who are these guys?
- 26:38You know, because I had no idea. And then Josh shows up in his
- 26:44hatch when it was brown, 180 brown.
- 26:47And then that's where I got hooked with the Hatch, just like
- 26:50walking around. Like for me it was like the tail
- 26:52lights. Yeah.
- 26:54You got tails. Yeah, that's a big thing.
- 26:57The type X tails just look, I remember when I switched, I had
- 27:00a hatch long ago and I went from the red and yellow whatever
- 27:05chuki tails, yeah yeah, to the type X tails.
- 27:09And that just changed my entire outlook on how that car.
- 27:14Looked I think I like those cars originally because of the tail
- 27:17lights too. And then you put the hazards on.
- 27:19Yep. I've only ever had just hatch.
- 27:22So it probably took me two years to build that first car and then
- 27:26that was, I don't know if you remember the green car.
- 27:30You got to see it, That hatch was green.
- 27:31Let's just go here. We got it right here.
- 27:33Let's go as far down as you can because I probably do remember
- 27:39it. Oh.
- 27:39Those look good. Oh, those look good too.
- 27:42A lot of US air in here. Tons of US air.
- 27:45Also the fucking photos are all quality as hell.
- 27:48That's basically your home track.
- 27:50Right, yeah, Home track, Yeah, we were talking about different
- 27:52tracks earlier, like I got to experience Knuckle Up as well as
- 27:55Muscle Men. Yeah.
- 27:56How was that? Definitely would love redemption
- 27:59at muscle men. That was like a whole different
- 28:01experience, I. Do not even remember this.
- 28:03That looks fucking that was. Crazy.
- 28:06That was great. First car.
- 28:08Whoa, what? So that was like pretty right
- 28:10like gut everything just bucket seats like auto power 4 point
- 28:15cage. Like that's when I got my Sr.
- 28:18swap. I've had the same motor
- 28:19throughout every chassis. So this is the same motor in
- 28:22every car. Holy shit, so your.
- 28:24SRO, it's a Filipino thing I swear.
- 28:27We take care of engine, Engine take care.
- 28:29So that car like taught me a lot because I got rid of it because
- 28:33it was just so rusty. But not the engine though,
- 28:35right? Not the engine, all right.
- 28:37I picked up that motor swap motor trans ECU 1200 bucks.
- 28:42I knew it. I knew you were going to say.
- 28:43Something 1200 bucks. But that's a I feel like I
- 28:46caught when I so I I'm 29. I got into it late too.
- 28:52So even when I got into it, which was like 2014, that was
- 28:56still doable. Yeah, on eBay, yeah, maybe two
- 29:0025102 grand 25. South what from bumper is that?
- 29:04That was BN. Type 3.
- 29:06Type 2. OK, I was going to say because
- 29:08there was there were many type 3.
- 29:09Extreme dimensions body kit longer bumper.
- 29:12OK, yeah, that's what we all had.
- 29:15It was before. Sports was here.
- 29:18Dude that looks really. So that paint color only lasted
- 29:21like six months till I got rid of that car.
- 29:24That reminds me of the car outside in the shop.
- 29:26The color. Yeah, so that was week Fest.
- 29:31I remember when you guys had Damon on.
- 29:32That was the same show. With with Josh and everyone over
- 29:35there, that must have been the most epic week fest ever in
- 29:38existence. It was like all the sickest
- 29:41Chicago drift cars were there, I feel like.
- 29:43Just like drift cars. That's why if you went to like a
- 29:46week and you're not looking at anything else, but that was a
- 29:48drift cars, I'm going to. Be like wow another Honda that
- 29:52doesn't drive. While we're over is that.
- 29:54That was the origin type twos. That was the Takadashi's or
- 29:58whatever. Those are the the.
- 29:59Full wrap around. Are those the GTR?
- 30:01Style ones, yeah. But it looked like in the last
- 30:04photo you had the other ones. I've run the same overs.
- 30:06You had the same same. It's weird.
- 30:08They kind of look different, but yeah, you can definitely see
- 30:11that it's a type 2 there. I like it.
- 30:13Oh, damn. Whoa, whoa.
- 30:15Now Frankie is gonna get horny. Whoa, that.
- 30:18Does look a lot. You help me with my trunk wing
- 30:21and roof wing with this car. Just sourcing them.
- 30:25The silver was the second chassis.
- 30:28OK so when I was looking for one my buddy Johnny was like hey get
- 30:32this out of my house. I'm like what do you want for
- 30:33it? He goes give me 50 bucks and a
- 30:35bucket of Popeyes. Yup.
- 30:37It's always a bucket of Popeyes you.
- 30:39Said this yesterday. Dude, how weird is that?
- 30:42That is so weird dude. He literally just bought
- 30:44something. From hydrated, hydrated Adam for
- 30:48a bucket of Popeyes the other day for a bunch of wood.
- 30:50So he towed it to my house on a Dolly, like, you know, the ones
- 30:54you just got the two wheels and you strap it?
- 30:56Yeah, no, 45 minutes of the time.
- 30:59Just towed it to my house. So you got type three?
- 31:02Well. Type.
- 31:03Three with sexy style, which is definitely rare.
- 31:06So that's that's a cool look and Yandor is in the inside look.
- 31:10Is the is the inside lit up or is it just lights from the car
- 31:13behind you? So I had lights, but I painted
- 31:15that Lexus color blue OK from the engine Bay to match the
- 31:19inside of the cage because I had a four point welded at the time.
- 31:22But that car was so tweaked. Dude, the wheels are so big.
- 31:27Like it's just that's what it's supposed to.
- 31:29I feel like when you have overs that big it's like nice when the
- 31:31wheels are fucking. Huge.
- 31:32Yeah, you got eighteens in the front.
- 31:34I was 18, yeah, all around OK. I think I was running a square
- 31:38tire set up to like 235 all the way around.
- 31:40Yeah, yeah, those wheels are massive.
- 31:43That back lip is huge. Surprisingly, those are only 10
- 31:48and. 1/2 Really. The blitz I had were 11.
- 31:54Where was this? Autobahn OK, so they had a skid
- 31:58pad where we could drive, but they're just so expensive to get
- 32:04there. So Simba yeah, So grid life will
- 32:07go there. And then Simba has the thing
- 32:08where they kind of do like a little private day for the
- 32:11people that are members there. They take them for ride alongs
- 32:14on the track. Feel like I've seen this.
- 32:16Yeah, that's the track where I see Simba drifting and he's like
- 32:21in a corner for a minute and a half.
- 32:23Like he's just. Yeah, yeah.
- 32:25Yeah, like just. Yeah, and Josh goes there too.
- 32:28I think I've seen that in there. Is it like a parking lot?
- 32:32No that it's a two track. They have like a north and AS
- 32:35track. OK, maybe I'm thinking about
- 32:37something else, but OK, so this is the second car.
- 32:41That's the second chassis. And then where did you go after
- 32:43this? So the third car I like well cuz
- 32:48like. Hold up that RX8 is sick.
- 32:51He sold it. Yeah, that looks good.
- 32:54So he had 13B swap my buddy Joey, but he did the Adoptronic
- 33:00and it was just a nightmare. He was dealing with some dude in
- 33:02Minnesota, just awful. But then he finally got it
- 33:06running and he's like low boost. It was like 8 lbs.
- 33:09He's like 400 horsepower and it can go higher.
- 33:11I was like, dude, this thing's fast.
- 33:13Yeah, everybody who's watching or listening right now is
- 33:16fucking probably so pissed because we're just.
- 33:18Well, they should get Spotify. They.
- 33:19Get Spotify and go look at the video.
- 33:21Sorry. Or go on YouTube.
- 33:23Full authentic, be on kid and be on hood.
- 33:26Yeah. The be on hood on the RX8 is one
- 33:28of the only ones that I like. I actually like RX eights a lot.
- 33:30I don't like them for drifting really, but I think they look
- 33:33really good. I like them, yeah, for anything,
- 33:35drifting, driving. They're just so sick, man.
- 33:38Lights are small. Yeah, the lights are sick.
- 33:42Dude, my old Co worker had one shout out.
- 33:43Danny, I wonder if you're still working there buddy.
- 33:45Sorry. I've never been in a car like
- 33:48driving through a tunnel that I that excited me more than arcs.
- 33:51It sounds like a Formula One car bro.
- 33:54Oh my God, yeah. You're just like, the second you
- 33:56go in there, you're like. But then you're doing 40.
- 33:58Yeah, yeah. And there's like trucks passing.
- 34:01That was definitely one of my favourites.
- 34:03I wish you didn't get rid of it though.
- 34:05I mean, I don't know, you have to have like a certain love for
- 34:08for that car in order to keep it for drifting especially, I feel
- 34:12like. But yeah, maybe.
- 34:14But the 13 V though, it was wild.
- 34:17So it was like. A turbo one, Yeah, that was
- 34:20probably freaking awesome. Think he had the motor done by
- 34:23bonsai somewhere around the OR no the guys in Minnesota.
- 34:25But then like just St. board all that.
- 34:29But now he's building a rat rod. Oh yeah.
- 34:31Hell yes, Kyle Reedy, I'm pissed I didn't win your doohickey
- 34:35thing, but what is it dude? He was raffling off a 1950s Ford
- 34:39I was talking to them about. It had a Flathead V8.
- 34:42Me and Diego were both trying to win this thing and we didn't win
- 34:45it. You should have entered the
- 34:47factory Motorsports raffle. I don't, they don't make an
- 34:50origin body kit for my car and I don't need anything that's being
- 34:53sold here at the moment. Well, now we're now they're
- 34:55doing stands, we're doing a stands.
- 34:56I got coil overs on my car. This guy's a hater.
- 35:01I just don't have money right now.
- 35:02You have stance on your corner, Josh, Yes.
- 35:04Oh, you do OK. Stance is good, I'd be stupid.
- 35:07Not to, because they're local. Yeah, yeah.
- 35:09And they can basically rebuild everything and do everything in
- 35:12house so. I like how when we were there,
- 35:14Dave showed us how they test everything.
- 35:17On that I missed that part. Like we walked, I walked around
- 35:20that whole shit. Yeah, on Zero on EI was like
- 35:25whoa. And they showed me the shock
- 35:27Dino and everything. Yeah, that's cool.
- 35:29Hell yeah. Wait, where's the third car
- 35:31before we got distracted by this?
- 35:32So my current car is the third car.
- 35:34OK. Your car.
- 35:35OK. So I like the current because it
- 35:37has a lot of things that I like. Like that one right there.
- 35:41Yeah, it does look good, but you pretty much kept the same style.
- 35:45I mean, you're still into big, big wheels, but that's 17 in
- 35:48front now, I think. 17 I got rid of the blitz unfortunately OK.
- 35:54But why? I hope you got your money's
- 35:55worth. Did you get your money?
- 35:56Did OK. Good.
- 35:57If I told you the amount, you'd probably free.
- 35:59No, no, no, no, no. Then then then it's OK.
- 36:02Like you can just keep that. Away I want to know wait how
- 36:06much you sold me for Oh shit, you just showed me under the
- 36:09table. Oh my God, dude, it's maybe I
- 36:11should sell my bills. Yeah, he's like, well.
- 36:15It's because I had him for so long.
- 36:18Speaking, I've had him for so long.
- 36:21Yeah, I mean, and Frankie has like that.
- 36:23He has both, like front and back.
- 36:25Did you have front and rear too? I had a full.
- 36:28Set right. Yeah, that's.
- 36:29Yeah. Well, you guess what, buddy, You
- 36:31missed that window. That's not unless.
- 36:33How long ago did you get rid of? Them no, I think they still.
- 36:36Just this past year, honestly. OK, then you're still good.
- 36:39Yeah, I thought that hope maybe the hype died.
- 36:40When you let me sell on my wheels, that's when you know
- 36:42we're in trouble over here. So Yep, yeah.
- 36:46As much as I loved them, I was like, I'm not attached to them
- 36:48anymore. Like, I kind of want to just
- 36:49switch it up, you know? Well, were they Chrome too?
- 36:52Yeah, what would you? So where'd you switch after
- 36:55that? Like how do you even, what would
- 36:56you even want to get after that? Because I saw you had Minervas
- 37:00too. Or did you go?
- 37:01To well Minervas was like a few phases beforehand so now I
- 37:05currently just have T ES that I'm borrowing.
- 37:09What year was this? No, it says 22.
- 37:13Oh, OK, 22 I like equips, man. You're.
- 37:16Going to end up buying those T ES.
- 37:18I know how this works. You borrow the T ES and then
- 37:21it's on there. Oh no, I got my other wheels on
- 37:23the way so. I'm calling away OK?
- 37:24OK, what are those? I went back SP1 OK.
- 37:27SPZ finish. Those did look good on the car.
- 37:30The first was that the first wheel, because I like those the
- 37:32best. Any like I like very I don't
- 37:36know like classy looking just one that makes you go this car
- 37:40just. Looks like a piece of jewelry.
- 37:42Yeah, like just Chrome. And now you don't have that.
- 37:45The square Fender in the back you upgraded to like a smooth
- 37:48one. That's the.
- 37:49Same over the same one. No, it's.
- 37:51Not that's the type 2O he does. Yeah.
- 37:54He doesn't have a type three. Yeah, that's what he said.
- 37:56The silver car was type three. Yeah, like the bubbly?
- 37:59Yeah. Yeah, but now you've reverted
- 38:01back to the square. Stock metal front, rear over.
- 38:05Yeah. Hell yeah, and that's an Sr. in
- 38:09there still. Sr.
- 38:10Yeah, and you hate wings, I can tell that.
- 38:13D Max is probably like the most I'll go you.
- 38:16Like the way? That shit looks freaking awesome
- 38:20man holy crap. And AD Max Hood.
- 38:23From John Kim. Love that man.
- 38:25Oh yeah, John's awesome. John was one of our salesman at
- 38:29Tokyo Factory. Yeah.
- 38:30He built my Co Oliver's when he was at TF and I told him I was
- 38:33like, you ever get rid of that hood?
- 38:35I want dibs. Yeah, and.
- 38:36He did. He yelled his word.
- 38:37Did. He party his car out or he did
- 38:39OK, yeah. One of our local friends down
- 38:42South actually bought it from him his I'd have to find a
- 38:46picture of it what it looks like now.
- 38:48The front of this car is just that's the front of this car is
- 38:51my car. I know I'm looking at it and I'm
- 38:54like God damn. That was my car at one point.
- 38:56D Max hood, the blitz and that Type 3 bumper.
- 38:58The Type 3 bumper is just the best bumper.
- 39:00When the front, yeah, that looks really good.
- 39:02When the front is all put together like that and nothing's
- 39:05sagging, I. Also have a type 4 spare.
- 39:08OK, what's a type 4? Type 4 is just a, it's.
- 39:10Weird, just like a bigger opening.
- 39:12There's a YouTube video Faction Motorsports.
- 39:14Oh yeah, no, I do remember. I do recall the no.
- 39:16I like the type type 3. Yeah, Type 3 is more, I don't
- 39:20know, this is cooler to me. Type 4 is more like I feel like
- 39:22a track car. I feel like it should be higher.
- 39:24I think the Type 4 does sit a little lower, but maybe?
- 39:27I'm Oh no, it's way bigger than. The three, it is way bigger.
- 39:29OK. So, so it is kind of made for
- 39:32like a taller car probably? Yeah, If I put that, it'd be
- 39:35smashed OK on the way that ride height is.
- 39:38Yeah. So what's your engine set up
- 39:40like on this? So I've had a built motor TF
- 39:43built it a few years back. I think I'm going on like 10
- 39:46years with it. Holy shit.
- 39:47So it's more than a few. It's like a.
- 39:50That's like a. A bunch this This is the best
- 39:52advertisement for Tokyo Factory right now with 10 years on the
- 39:56engine. Ten years and I saw videos of it
- 39:58drifting and stuff too, like. So forged Pistons all that right
- 40:01and then? What?
- 40:02What internals do you know? CP Pistons, manly rods, OK all
- 40:06super tech valve train. That's homemade pawn cams.
- 40:09I know and I have rocker arm shoppers.
- 40:11Oh, and you have rocker arm stoppers too.
- 40:13You ever throw a rocker? Never.
- 40:15Well, that. That's boring.
- 40:17Well, it's pissed. Like rocket arms stopper.
- 40:20Yeah, but what I'm what my thing is, is like that is literally
- 40:23there's this video on Moto IQ with Mike Kojima and he says
- 40:30that that combo manly rod CP piston, I think, and that's.
- 40:36Something we've been using Eagle rods and I'm, I'm kind of
- 40:38thinking I want to change. Something with the there's like
- 40:41a oil, something that allows the manly rod to like the crank to
- 40:46get oil, like the manly rod just has it.
- 40:48I don't, I don't know. There's probably.
- 40:49A just ask Mike Kojima bro. Like fucking it's honest.
- 40:53Yeah, maybe we'll go with. It I say not too crazy but like
- 40:55the G25 spectrum manifold. Oh yeah, that's crazy.
- 40:59No, but that's like that's like new era, yeah, stuff like G
- 41:03series Turbo. Yeah.
- 41:05So you on E? 85 Yeah, there you go.
- 41:09See that? That.

- 41:18That one right in the middle that that hood that carbon.
- 41:25I felt so bad cutting into it. Oh, for the pins.
- 41:28For the pins, yeah, I hate it. I was trying to find a center
- 41:31latch and I'm just like Oh my shit's gone.
- 41:33Yeah, and then it's like, maybe I'll get the Cusco ones, but
- 41:36then it's like then they're going to rust or some shit,
- 41:38like, I don't know. Probably the best setup thanks
- 41:43to the Boys of D style. I want to.

- 45:21I give those boys props, man. We were just talking about that,
- 45:25how it's like out of pocket type shit.
- 45:27Like Tom explained it the best on his.
- 45:31He just works mad hard. But like I don't want to have to
- 45:33work like a gajillion hours. Like I want to work hard enough
- 45:37where I. Tom fucking works a lot, like a
- 45:42lot. Josh works a lot too.
- 45:44It's just they have different jobs.
- 45:45Like Josh is driving a bus, which sucks, but it's it's a lot
- 45:49of hours. Tom is doing manual labor every
- 45:52single day. I don't even know how many hours
- 45:54he works a week, but it's it's probably a shit ton.
- 45:56I. Wonder how he sleeps at night?
- 45:58He doesn't sleep. Oh.
- 46:01Fuck, yeah. Like I remember he would just
- 46:02come here and be like, yeah, I got like 2 hours of sleep.
- 46:04And he's just one of those people that they don't see
- 46:06certain, certain people can survive without sleeping.
- 46:09I can't. Yeah, I can't either.
- 46:11Are you a coffee guy, Love? But he doesn't.
- 46:13I see he doesn't have any morning coffee.
- 46:15Frankie does not have none of that.
- 46:17Nothing. Yeah, but Tom does have
- 46:21caffeine, does he? Yeah, he.
- 46:23He would not just. Said you did.
- 46:24You are a coffee person, Josh. I can't do Red Bull.
- 46:27But you can do coffee, yeah. Because your doctor's like Nah.
- 46:32I'd be fucking having them crazy in the summertime if I had.
- 46:36If I'm working like a lot like in the booth during the summer,
- 46:38I was fucking tooching through Red Bull.
- 46:41Carl. I don't know about Carl, man.
- 46:43I don't know how I'm some days I get a weird chest pain and I'm
- 46:46like. Here it is, it's me.
- 46:49Maybe it has something to do with all the caffeine you've
- 46:50been taking. Quan yells at me, one of my
- 46:53friends, when he's at my house, he's like, Carl, have you eaten?
- 46:55And I'm like, I'm eating like 2 seconds and then I go do
- 46:58something else then it's like 8. Carl's like I need some
- 47:01caffeine. I'm like, Carl, you don't need
- 47:03any caffeine. You're the very.
- 47:04Was the last time I ate. Could you have caffeine late and
- 47:06still fall asleep? I could probably have like a cup
- 47:08of coffee and go to bed. Yeah, there's no I sent, I sent
- 47:12Frankie. You're real.
- 47:14I said, Frankie, you're real. Remember?
- 47:15Like, there's this guy, like chugs a Red Bull.
- 47:20He goes. Oh, I think I didn't remember
- 47:22this. Woo.
- 47:24And then he gets in bed and he's like.
- 47:26Woo. This goes to bed.
- 47:28That's me. But then I don't know.
- 47:31But then other times you said you'd go to sleep sometimes and
- 47:34it's just you staring at and then.
- 47:35Yeah, that that can happen. You know, you drink caffeine to
- 47:39try to go to bed, which you wouldn't have to do once.
- 47:42But like, let's say you drank caffeine way too close to bed.
- 47:45You're just looking at the ceiling.
- 47:48Fuck. And at that point, I don't know
- 47:50what to do. Do I go do something?
- 47:52Do I go like? Yeah, fucking so you need
- 47:55caffeine and survive through the day.
- 47:56Yeah, do you do? Just in the morning.
- 47:57Yeah, I mean, that's a normal thing.
- 47:59For me, it's just like water throughout the day.
- 48:02Recently I've been trying to When I'm tired, I'm like, yeah,
- 48:06my body probably has no oxygen from water, which you need,
- 48:11right? Yeah, You know, I was thinking
- 48:13about that recently. I was like, because my dad
- 48:15doesn't drink water like ever. 1st.
- 48:17Of all my dad's like a medical mystery.
- 48:19I don't even know how he's alive right now.
- 48:21So that's the first thing. So let's get that out of the
- 48:22way. Second thing, he doesn't really
- 48:24drink water ever. Like he just, yeah, give me a
- 48:26soda and I'll just drink soda. I'm like, when's the last time
- 48:29you like, drank water? A couple days ago.
- 48:32I'm like, OK, it's like different for us.
- 48:36I feel like when we grew up, it was like you had to drink.
- 48:39And it's only gotten worse. Now it's like everyone has a
- 48:41water bottle This that. I feel like I drink more energy
- 48:44drinks when I was younger. Really.
- 48:46Monster. I just never did, so that's
- 48:48probably why. Were you a part of your?
- 48:49Growing up? Not really.
- 48:50What were you drinking the monsters for?
- 48:53Because I was just playing video games.

- 49:30all you're here is like stand up and that Monster Energy used to
- 49:34have crazy. No, no, not Monster Energy.

- 52:02ingredients. They're not even going to bring
- 52:04that up. You know, do.
- 52:05I try one of those. I'd be scared to try one.
- 52:07Yeah, I think I might try one of those out tomorrow.
- 52:10Now I'm big on the black coffee thing.
- 52:12I can have black coffee in my body.
- 52:13I could run 4 miles right after I heard black.
- 52:16Coffee is like the healthiest version of caffeine pretty much.
- 52:20I mean, yeah, I don't think anybody's ever died because of
- 52:24coffee. Yeah, you know.
- 52:26Here we go. What's Malcolm looking up here?
- 52:28I just want to say I'm like. 300, 300 milligrams, is that a
- 52:32lot? Is that a lot?
- 52:33What's like a cup of coffee? 95 milligrams and a cup of
- 52:36coffee. OK, so it's three times like a
- 52:38cup of. Coffee.
- 52:38Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is.
- 52:39Three workout supplements Wait. What?
- 52:43Dude, what is Frankie drinking? Celsius has, which for a little
- 52:46while was the bar for energy for me.
- 52:48Remember when Johnny was fucking feeding for Celsius's kind of.
- 52:53Wait, those have 200 milligrams? That shit has three. 100 per
- 52:56shot. Wait, wait, wait.
- 52:59Look at it. Hit the show more.
- 53:03Oh, they have shots. Wow, that is a lot for a.
- 53:06Little shot, dude. Imagine you take a little shot.
- 53:07Look at they got the capsules. Too Take two of them and you're
- 53:10fucking see you in the morning. Has anyone like just tried to go
- 53:13to bed? Is that something that people do
- 53:15here in this country? Or is it just like you just run?
- 53:16Off of this shit. What are you talking about?
- 53:18Go to bed. This is for not going to bed.
- 53:19Woke as fuck. Where?
- 53:21What is that? Another one.
- 53:23Oh, that's the name of the pre. Workout, I just don't
- 53:26understand. The odor of this shit.
- 53:28Like when did this become a thing bro?
- 53:30What is that is not for beginners?
- 53:33I might get on that. You'll see me next month.
- 53:35Oh thank God it's got 0 sugar. Absolutely fucking ripped.
- 53:38I'll be, I'll be healthy. It's got 0 sugar.
- 53:42Yeah, but then it's got fucking like.
- 53:43Creatine free? Isn't creatine good for you?
- 53:46Creatine it makes you like. In like multiple ways.
- 53:49Like Mass. It like retain creatine I think.
- 53:52It's good for your brain too. I don't know about that, but
- 53:55creatine makes your muscles retain water more.
- 53:59I tried that shit for like a month I was looking.
- 54:02Good as hell. Yeah, it it probably swelled you
- 54:04up like in the right I'll. Tell you what happened, my mouth
- 54:06was dry as fuck. You need to drink water.
- 54:09A lot of it ruins your kidneys. Yeah, I was like, I can't keep
- 54:13up with the water intake. I can't do it.
- 54:15I dude I swear I would drink. 4:00 You got to get a bigger.
- 54:171-4 or five of these and my mouth is still dry.
- 54:20But you get a, you get four or five of those, but you get the
- 54:23bigger jug. Now it would make sense I.
- 54:25Just can't drink that much water man, like it's just too much
- 54:27you. Got to just drink it.
- 54:29I know, but like I I didn't care about my the way my muscles look
- 54:32that much. I was like, whatever.
- 54:33If you saw the water bottle in my car, you'd be like.
- 54:36Yeah, you're right, He's thinking.
- 54:38Well, that's the other thing. If it can't fit in my cup
- 54:40holder, I'm not buying it. So I'm not one of those people.
- 54:43But they make a lid on it, so it could just kind of, you know.
- 54:45This was like the biggest one I can get that could fit in my cup
- 54:47holder and that was it. The reason I went with a metal
- 54:52bottle is to get rid of the plastic water bottles.
- 54:54I'll show you after. Yeah, it's like a big. 1.
- 54:57Is it a gallon? I mean, you didn't bring it in
- 54:59for a reason. You probably couldn't get in the
- 55:00door. No, dude, I'm telling you
- 55:02because you look at at first, if you didn't tell me you didn't
- 55:04regularly or that you just started regularly working out,
- 55:08you look like one of those Filipinos that fucking deadlift
- 55:10and shit. Like you got, you could, you
- 55:13could get, you probably could do that.
- 55:16You got the good legs. You got the legs that killed
- 55:17Magellan. What?
- 55:19The. Fuck you got dude, Those are
- 55:21there's jeans like you ever seen my legs, bro?
- 55:23There's thin and then there's then my brother has these legs
- 55:26were huge and look at Malcolm's legs.
- 55:27They're tiny because I'm black. That's crazy.
- 55:30Well, that was one. Thing.
- 55:31No, it's different. We didn't have to say all that
- 55:33like an. Apple to an orange little
- 55:35Stefan. I got those African legs.
- 55:36You got the little feet. Look at put your feet on the
- 55:39table. This is little feet dude.
- 55:42I do not want to see Frankie Sweet on the tail.
- 55:44Me and Malcolm, me and Malcolm been making these jokes because
- 55:48I have a pair of Doc Martins that are way too small for me.
- 55:51And I'm like, Malcolm, I'll give these to you because they're
- 55:53like brand new. And he's like, really?
- 55:55That's cool. And then he just keeps saying,
- 55:56all right, little foot and I'm like, but they're going to fit
- 56:00you. And he's like, OK, little foot.
- 56:03And I'm like, what? But yeah, I only wore these
- 56:06because it was snowing out but my fucking toes are cramped.
- 56:09Wait, you, you, you're going to offer Malcolm the shoes that are
- 56:13on your feet? Yeah, they're barely fucking
- 56:15worn in. Would you take them, Malcolm?
- 56:19Yeah. Small ass feet got them.
- 56:24All. Right, we should probably talk
- 56:28about drifting. How'd you get into it?
- 56:32That's like a easy one. I don't know, because we're
- 56:35talking about important shit. I know we're just hanging out,
- 56:38but. So the same kind of person
- 56:39because we're not even brought me to that meet brought me to US
- 56:43air for the last time Rob and so we went and that was the first
- 56:47time me ever witnessing drifting.
- 56:49So probably 20/11/2012. So the same time as me they're.
- 56:53Like I think it was D-Day 20 at the time.
- 56:57And they're up to over 100 now. Yeah, right.
- 57:00Yeah. And that's where I saw it and I
- 57:03was like, dude, I'm hooked. No car yet, no ride along yet.
- 57:07No car, no ride along, just simply spectating.
- 57:09And then we got hooked and I was like, OK, I'm going to get a
- 57:12car. And then from there it just kind
- 57:15of progressed. Like I said, first, first car
- 57:17took about two years, didn't really drift.
- 57:19They're just kind of like, OK, I'm getting a feeler for this.
- 57:22I didn't honestly probably start really driving driving until
- 57:25like COVID. Like I staffed a bunch all that
- 57:29I. Had a feeling you worked for for
- 57:31them but I wasn't sure. No, like I was just around a lot
- 57:35just to stay off and just be there because like I did the
- 57:38first final bout, second, all that.
- 57:39And then after that I kind of like, OK, I want actually want
- 57:41to drive because I'm like, this looks like something I want to
- 57:45do. Was it a weird concept?
- 57:48Did was there ever like a Because for me, there's like a
- 57:50hurdle there when I was younger where I was like, I cannot even
- 57:54think about doing that, you know?
- 57:56Was there ever that feeling for you as a kid?
- 58:00Because like that back then, you're, there's not like a,
- 58:04like, who are you going to ask aside from the people that you
- 58:07were with right then and there, you know?
- 58:09Yeah, it's just weird now because it's like, I'll go to a
- 58:11drift event. I'm like, I don't even know half
- 58:13these people versus like back in the day, it's like we were
- 58:17having all these small meets and you knew all these people, so
- 58:19you're going to the track and it was just like you knew
- 58:21everybody. So it was like they do like
- 58:24those mass text meets. They were meeting here at the
- 58:26Oasis, you know, let's go here. And then it was only into a
- 58:29certain group, right? Or if you knew, you know, hey, a
- 58:32certain forum or all these meats and stuff like that, you know.
- 58:36That I wish. I mean, I feel like some people
- 58:39are trying to do no, some people are trying to do that stuff.
- 58:41You say that shit and then we don't so.
- 58:44I've always want to do that ever since I heard Josh talk about
- 58:47it. Proceed, Josh.
- 58:48I was like fuck man. The Oasis though for the name
- 58:52for the rest areas is like the coolest.
- 58:54Thing I know whatever when we first heard that when we went
- 58:57out there Eric explained to us we're meeting up at the Oasis
- 58:59I'm like what in the fuck is this and then I'm like wait
- 59:01that's our that's called a rest stop but.
- 59:04It was like stuff you did because you get the text
- 59:06message. You're like, man, I got to work
- 59:07the next morning because they were like meeting at 9:30 and
- 59:10from where I was at at the time was like an hour from my house.
- 59:13I'm like, screw it, I'm going and.
- 59:14You. Just did it.
- 59:15What were those meets like? So they would either like, meet
- 59:19for a little bit and they're like, hey, we're going to go to
- 59:21the city. And that's like, hey, we're
- 59:23going to go bomb the city. You know the infamous bus turn
- 59:26around 18th Street right by the football field?
- 59:31That might have been the one that I drifted or was there
- 59:34while people were drifting, I'm not sure.
- 59:36I don't. I think there might be a.
- 59:38Is there a video of this? Yeah, there's tons.
- 59:40Of yeah, Then it's the one. Yeah.
- 59:42So you went there? But it's just like, I got
- 59:47invited to all this stuff. So I was like, hey, I want to go
- 59:49meet all these people. I'm going.
- 59:50And I'm like, just to like put a name out for myself, right?
- 59:52I wasn't actually driving yet, but just to get acclimated with
- 59:55everyone. And then as I started getting
- 59:57into it, like just to ask for help was a lot easier because
- 1:00:00like when we were doing it, there's like no help.
- 1:00:02Like I'm building stuff, setups, all that.
- 1:00:04You're just kind of like, what's going to work?
- 1:00:06What's? Going on Zilvia and listening to
- 1:00:07the wrong information, that's pretty much it.
- 1:00:10Would you would you say you liked it back then like that?
- 1:00:14Or would you say that kids have it easier now with like, yeah,
- 1:00:19but now there's like a lot of information.
- 1:00:23Like, it's like a lot of info. So then I feel like people
- 1:00:26sometimes get confused on what's the right way for them to try
- 1:00:31it. You know what I mean?
- 1:00:31'Cause my friend Brian was doing like A1J swap at the time and
- 1:00:36there wasn't any info with wiring the swap kits like it
- 1:00:40wasn't available. So it's like you'd have to
- 1:00:42search the forum to be like, where'd you get this stuff?
- 1:00:46And then why are they going to even answer you?
- 1:00:47Like type shit. So his swap took a while, but
- 1:00:50it's like back then it wasn't as common as it is now where you
- 1:00:54can, hey, I can go to faction or drift HQ or whatever and I can
- 1:00:57find all these swap kits wearing specialties or harness.
- 1:01:00It's like before he was like our friend Kevin who was phenomenal
- 1:01:03with wiring was like helping him like hey, I'll help you do pin
- 1:01:06outs and all this and he got it running.
- 1:01:08But the information now, it's like, I hate to say it, it's
- 1:01:11like almost plug and play for most of the kind of stuff.
- 1:01:14There is some sort of plug and play solution, not for
- 1:01:18everything but for most, and if not, it gets you like 70% of the
- 1:01:22way. It's definitely helpful like
- 1:01:23wiring specialties is, is a key component in US doing swaps here
- 1:01:28because it's like, oh, just buy that and you're done.
- 1:01:30When I saw people like making or doing engine swaps from scratch
- 1:01:35and stuff like that, I never knew what that entailed.
- 1:01:39So like pin outs. You mentioned pin outs.
- 1:01:41That means for me I'm like that person's probably sticking a
- 1:01:46bunch of like probes everywhere, figuring out what's what and
- 1:01:48then like making it. And I just did not understand
- 1:01:51that. Even now after doing it like a
- 1:01:54couple of times, I still don't understand it because I'm like,
- 1:01:58how is it just in here? Like I don't know, I know how to
- 1:02:01it's a lot of work, but now I know how to like putting the
- 1:02:04engine in is like got to be the easiest part.
- 1:02:08I didn't know that as a youngster.
- 1:02:10Yeah, the wiring is probably the one of the.
- 1:02:12Hardest wiring is the hard part. Yeah.
- 1:02:14I thought like just putting the physical engine in there, it was
- 1:02:17going to be hard, but no. Yeah, that's like the easiest
- 1:02:19part, yeah. Like Josh, Josh Roloff's like
- 1:02:23relocated his engine like back I think like a couple inches or.
- 1:02:26Something. I can't wait to see this shit.
- 1:02:27What the fuck? Like why?
- 1:02:28Why are you doing? This like what is he doing now?
- 1:02:32He's doing some Koichi shit, yeah.
- 1:02:34Like what? He's got ARB in that car, so
- 1:02:37that makes a little little sense, you know what I mean?
- 1:02:40He's probably trying to. I mean, that's cool, man.
- 1:02:41He. Gave himself some room.
- 1:02:43He was just excited that there was room between his fan and the
- 1:02:46police or something. And I was like, Josh, you could
- 1:02:48have had that with an Sr. Yeah, but I guess he doesn't
- 1:02:50want to. Well, he probably doesn't want
- 1:02:52to buy one either because they're they're not cheap
- 1:02:54anymore. Through the moon.
- 1:02:56Yeah, what are they like 6 grand now?
- 1:02:597 grand I. Don't know.
- 1:03:00Speaking of Josh, I just want to say hi to Teddy because I know
- 1:03:02he listens to this pod. Hi, Teddy.
- 1:03:04I hope you're in the garage nice and warm.
- 1:03:06Sell me the Harley. And I hope you, I hope you're
- 1:03:08happy. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:11I hope you're all right because we made some jokes about it Now
- 1:03:14everybody, he was like, now everybody's going to think I'm
- 1:03:16upset and depressed or whatever. No, we already all thought that.
- 1:03:19Don't worry. And.
- 1:03:22We kind of are. I mean not not not our, but I
- 1:03:24mean. I'm not.
- 1:03:26We just so sorry you didn't win that body kit.
- 1:03:28I know you. Just live in a yeah, we live in
- 1:03:30a real world. That's it.
- 1:03:32Yeah, I mean, I think I live in a fantasy world, so I can't
- 1:03:36really compare. I definitely.
- 1:03:37Live in a fantasy world. Some.
- 1:03:39Days, yeah. But ignorance is ignorance is
- 1:03:42bliss, right? Like I don't, I don't well.
- 1:03:45You're painting now too. I guess you got kids.
- 1:03:47No. OK, OK.
- 1:03:49So you're living in a fantasy world too?
- 1:03:50Yeah, you're in La La Land as well.
- 1:03:53My significant other, a wife. Yeah, I have a girlfriend.
- 1:03:55OK, still sort of La La land. You're you're like up here
- 1:03:59still. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.
- 1:04:01But when the kids come? No, I'm just saying that because
- 1:04:04we had a conversation on the Reese pod that I thought was
- 1:04:06pretty pivotal because they, they, him and Reese were talking
- 1:04:09about. We had Reese Marion on and they
- 1:04:11were talking about kids. Yeah, we literally just had the
- 1:04:13deepest. Conversation we've ever had on
- 1:04:15the podcast. I don't.
- 1:04:16Know about that, but just. In general though, like how
- 1:04:21expensive drifting is getting now and like when people have
- 1:04:24how. Yeah, not you giving this as the
- 1:04:27fucking reason. I'm just saying.
- 1:04:31Because I'm like. I'll go to an event and I'm
- 1:04:33like, fuck, I spent this much money over the weekend and I'm
- 1:04:36like, this dude's got three kids.
- 1:04:38Yeah, that's. Crazy.
- 1:04:40How the fuck did you do that? While drifting.
- 1:04:42While drifting, yeah, like when? When Coolio, when old like the
- 1:04:47responsible older Josh be doing that stuff.
- 1:04:50Oh my gosh. Yeah, and he's still drifting
- 1:04:53and car looks good. Multiple cars look good and this
- 1:04:57is is this your one? That's another thing.
- 1:04:59Do you have more than one project or is your 13 like your
- 1:05:02one that's got? At one point I had a 180, which
- 1:05:05Josh Tupas now has. Oh, that's so crazy that we
- 1:05:08mentioned his name earlier too. Yeah, the grey one.
- 1:05:11The grey one. Oh how ironic you sold it to
- 1:05:14another Josh. That is crazy.
- 1:05:17Well, like I had it and I was like, I'm literally building the
- 1:05:20same car, just right hand drive. Yeah, I'm like this makes no.
- 1:05:23Sense oh this. Is gonna be harder to drive on
- 1:05:25the street. So I got rid of it.
- 1:05:28Yeah, wait. That's why.
- 1:05:30What was your motive anyway? You bought one other same car.
- 1:05:33Well, I was like, I wanted something fun to drive around
- 1:05:35cuz I've never had just something like and cruise around
- 1:05:37whatever. And I was like, this is
- 1:05:39California and I was like, let me see if the AC works.
- 1:05:43And that was like a killer for me.
- 1:05:44I was like get rid of it. Yeah, AC doesn't work.
- 1:05:47No, it's not worth it. Can't find an AC compressor for
- 1:05:50ACA? That that, I mean, that's hey,
- 1:05:52wait, there is like a, a solution for that.
- 1:05:54I saw it for some reason on a Facebook group recently.
- 1:05:57But I like CA 18, so I think they're kind of cool.
- 1:05:59I almost. It's like a mini RB.
- 1:06:01Yeah, I almost got one because somebody said that to me.
- 1:06:04And then when I looked up parts compatibility, I think at that
- 1:06:09time I was going to buy it out of a a club loose car.
- 1:06:13There was acai. Don't know whose CA it was.
- 1:06:17Honestly. I might look back at my Facebook
- 1:06:18messages just to check, but I was trying to buy the CA and
- 1:06:21Chris told me not to. Yeah.
- 1:06:23That's because he didn't want to work on.
- 1:06:24It he didn't want to work on it, but I think it speaks waves that
- 1:06:28since you were modifying the 180 that it was falling into the
- 1:06:33same mold because that's just what you like.
- 1:06:36I like when people do that. I, I always say this, it's like
- 1:06:40it's, it's hard to get another type of car and like.
- 1:06:43I just can't keep stuff simple. That's my problem.
- 1:06:45What we well. I'm saying, what did you think
- 1:06:48was going to happen? On a rabbit hole again.
- 1:06:51Oh, I just bought a winning, but it's the.
- 1:06:53Same car. So it's like, at least you know
- 1:06:54everything. If you get another car, it's
- 1:06:56like, oh, now I got to learn everything again.
- 1:06:58It's like, which is fun, but it can also be expensive and time
- 1:07:01consuming. So I mean, having two of the
- 1:07:04same car is I, I don't know. I know I I have two of the same
- 1:07:08car, but one one was running and the other one never ran yet.
- 1:07:12So I didn't really get to experience it yet.
- 1:07:13I feel like when they both run, I'm going to be like, this is
- 1:07:16kind of stupid. You know what I mean?
- 1:07:18It's like they're the same fucking car.
- 1:07:20They just look different. I mean.
- 1:07:22I had it all set. I was like, I had another, yeah,
- 1:07:24I was going to put the sex style on it, all that, and I was like,
- 1:07:27now. You're just going to have two
- 1:07:30low cars and now you're going to have to buy a third one.
- 1:07:34No. That's what.
- 1:07:35Happens. My car's enough for what it is
- 1:07:38and then I end up getting the lift from AJ so I store Jake's
- 1:07:42car at my house too. Oh, really?
- 1:07:44OK, so you you were storing his car after he.
- 1:07:48Well, AJ had it for a long time as well as Cam because Cam was
- 1:07:51his best friend so he can't just kind of hops around between
- 1:07:54mutual people. But since we run his event every
- 1:07:56year, you know beforehand I'm close to D style.
- 1:08:00Like I'm like, hey, can we run through this, make sure
- 1:08:02everything's working because we'll still drive it.
- 1:08:04Yeah, that's cool. Like, I don't want it to sit.
- 1:08:06So like his mom's super supportive.
- 1:08:08Like she'll drive it on the track, yeah, just like putts
- 1:08:11around or whatever. And then she'll let like myself,
- 1:08:13Cam or AJ be the ones like if we want to go drift.
- 1:08:16It we got to teach her how to drift.
- 1:08:17I think it she's not that car. Please, that car is like such a
- 1:08:22weird history with that car and like especially with the
- 1:08:27circumstances now, I think it's awesome that you guys are able
- 1:08:30to keep it going and like maintain it and that the mom is
- 1:08:33still able to. This would be our 6th event,
- 1:08:36yeah this year. Everyone wants to go to that
- 1:08:38event too. This year's A.
- 1:08:40This year's a three day event. Whatever you do guys do I hope
- 1:08:43that you guys keep like like you know, supporting her making sure
- 1:08:47that that car is fucking working sick like that's that's a really
- 1:08:5020 drivers 1/20/20. What is it going to be?
- 1:08:54Waiting 19 years in grid. What is going to bring an iPad
- 1:08:58though, really? Because you got to think like
- 1:09:01everyone's going to go out hot to trot and I'm like, you have
- 1:09:03all day. Oh, dude, no, I'm number one to
- 1:09:06not do that. Yeah, I'm waiting.
- 1:09:08Are you on that? Is that?
- 1:09:09I kind of wait for the track to get warm so it's not like super
- 1:09:13slick in the morning and then I'll go out.
- 1:09:16Or maybe I'll do like one and then I come right back in the
- 1:09:19pit and then I have breakfast and I eat, smoke a cigarette,
- 1:09:22talk to everybody, Then when everybody breaks something, then
- 1:09:25I go outside. But that's what we talked about,
- 1:09:26too. It's like it's nice because we
- 1:09:28have night driving, but we get both tracks, yeah.
- 1:09:31That's sick. Yeah, technically you can.
- 1:09:34Yeah. You split the track up and you
- 1:09:35have two different. Tracks.
- 1:09:36So we do full intermediate like regular layout and then we've
- 1:09:39been doing reverse advanced the both years, but we might just go
- 1:09:43back to regular this year. Now you work for Club Fr.
- 1:09:46No. So we worked with Simba Pretty.
- 1:09:48Close. OK.
- 1:09:49Simba and Phil just like, hey, you want to keep doing this and
- 1:09:52they support us with it. So more than grateful for them
- 1:09:55to. But it's kind of like your own
- 1:09:57event. It's not a club Fr event.
- 1:09:59It's a club. Fr event.
- 1:10:00OK. All right.
- 1:10:01They just host it for us and then we kind of work with them
- 1:10:03on getting how do we do lights? How do you merge all that stuff?
- 1:10:07So we do the merge stuff on our end.
- 1:10:09So we actually had the vendor come out and like bring his
- 1:10:12whole trailer, like he can print stuff on the spot, everything
- 1:10:15like that. You guys are on some big brain
- 1:10:19stuff up there when it comes to planning events.
- 1:10:21We did, you guys, really. Ourselves, for the longest time,
- 1:10:24it was just so much work, like packaging yourself.
- 1:10:27And it was just like she would do.
- 1:10:29Jake's mom did everything by herself.
- 1:10:30Wow, all the shirts got printed. She made every, she handwrote
- 1:10:35everyone's address on every package because she wanted to
- 1:10:38make a special note. That was her thing.
- 1:10:40But then we're like, man, this is taking too much, you know,
- 1:10:43And then all the stuff with PayPal and some like people
- 1:10:46getting lost packages. But so our new vendor, great,
- 1:10:50he's like, I'll take care of anything, packaging all this.
- 1:10:52And then we just pay him a fee for at the end of the event.
- 1:10:56So we get our cut and then he'll get his.
- 1:10:58Yeah, it's interesting. So you don't even have to deal
- 1:10:59with anything. I've heard of that stuff before
- 1:11:01where even businesses like ours will.
- 1:11:04They'll have like they'll hire a company and they print all their
- 1:11:06shirts from somewhere else, they drop ship all of them.
- 1:11:08They take care of all the ordering and everything.
- 1:11:10I was like, that's interesting. So we had Carl from Style and
- 1:11:14Industries. I don't know, you probably heard
- 1:11:16of that. Yeah, well, I've heard of that.
- 1:11:17He's. Had a lot of car shows and stuff
- 1:11:19too, but like he even came prepared.
- 1:11:20He's like, hey, look at the weather, it's going to rain.
- 1:11:23He brought rain jackets and he's like, I'll print whatever you
- 1:11:25want. On him.
- 1:11:25Oh wow, the. Logo.
- 1:11:26Damn, that's a, that's a business owner right there.
- 1:11:29Yeah, that's, that's sharp. Damn, that was, that's quick
- 1:11:32thinking. Remember that one time where we
- 1:11:34sold out of umbrellas and hoodies?
- 1:11:36I forgot what event that. Was we try to always have
- 1:11:37umbrellas now because because I mean.
- 1:11:40That's not a bad thing, even for Sun.
- 1:11:41We always have hoodies because even if it's hot as fuck out,
- 1:11:45all of a sudden it'll start down pouring and then everyone's
- 1:11:47freezing. I don't know what.
- 1:11:48Oh yeah, but I mean, the shitty thing is if it if you put a
- 1:11:52hoodie on and it's raining, you're going to fucking get cold
- 1:11:54as hell anyway. You don't got to tell them that,
- 1:11:55but I guess. Hey, they're buying merch.
- 1:11:57They're buying merch, Yes you can emerge.
- 1:12:00Make sure to keep buying it so you can get entered into that
- 1:12:02faction. Motorsports Ravel for their
- 1:12:03stance. Coil overs of your choice.
- 1:12:05I like that mid podcast advertisement, that's nice.
- 1:12:08I've heard, I heard another podcast where they did that and
- 1:12:11I was like got my ass fucked and then I ordered a TMU 10.
- 1:12:15Spotify actually changed. I don't know if you guys listen
- 1:12:18to podcasts on Spotify. But I do.
- 1:12:20You know how they they used to do ads where you could skip it
- 1:12:24and it would like it would be an episode and then in the middle
- 1:12:27of the episode it would pop up with an ad.
- 1:12:29You could just drag the thing to the end and not even listen to
- 1:12:32it. Then they changed it so now it's
- 1:12:35just in the same audio file, so you got to skip.
- 1:12:38And that maybe not for you, but when I connect my phone to the
- 1:12:41Koya the the head unit does something where I can still
- 1:12:46click 15151515. 15 No, no, you can do that, but they used to
- 1:12:49have like it would be like an ad, no.
- 1:12:52And then you just try it you just and I and that my Fast
- 1:12:55forward button it does the 15. So it's like ads.
- 1:12:58That's good. Click, click, click, click,
- 1:12:59click, click. Done.
- 1:13:00I'm. Just saying they're trying to
- 1:13:01figure out ways to make people listen to these.
- 1:13:04Ads. That's what you would do,
- 1:13:05though, if that was your profession, that's what you
- 1:13:07would. Do listen.
- 1:13:08We put our ads in the beginning and I tell everyone I put them
- 1:13:11in the beginning. So you can just skip it, but you
- 1:13:13shouldn't because. You shouldn't they're they have
- 1:13:17great messages from our amazing sponsor.
- 1:13:19But I don't know, I don't like when you're listening to a
- 1:13:21podcast and then there's just 20 ads in the middle of it, like
- 1:13:24like what our YouTube listeners have to do deal with like
- 1:13:28that's. I agree.
- 1:13:29Yeah. You're with, Do you?
- 1:13:30Do you listen to any other pods? Do you like listen to?
- 1:13:32No, honestly, it's just you guys.
- 1:13:33That's really nuts. Oh my God.
- 1:13:35Well, like because I travel so much so it's like always like
- 1:13:37long distance. And I was like perfect.
- 1:13:39I'm like, if it's like 2 hours, I'm like.
- 1:13:41That's why, that's why I like our podcast, because sometimes
- 1:13:44we talk about random book, that doctor's stint.
- 1:13:47I hope to God that gets to somebody.
- 1:13:50Like I'm telling you, sometimes it's like that.
- 1:13:52Like it's it's a peek into what our lives are.
- 1:13:57Which is great, and how unhealthy we.
- 1:13:59Are yeah, like. We're not the only ones though.
- 1:14:02A lot of a lot of people that drift and car people like, they
- 1:14:04don't take care of normal shit. They're just obsessed with one
- 1:14:07thing. Yeah, their car.
- 1:14:08Yeah, let me tell you, your car can wait.
- 1:14:12Those arms that are in your cart, they'll wait.
- 1:14:15Go to the doctor, go check your shit out, then you're good.
- 1:14:19Like and find a doctor or something like Frankie's looking
- 1:14:23for. You go to the doctor.
- 1:14:24Yeah, I got a primary. I fucking go every year.
- 1:14:27My mom every year works in a lab.
- 1:14:29Oh my God, she's going to yell at every.
- 1:14:31Year is like the norm. Yeah, when you when you're in an
- 1:14:34office, you had to go every year because.
- 1:14:36What are they making sure you're not going to die on the job?
- 1:14:38They're making sure that you're not purposefully like, fucking
- 1:14:41being unhealthy. You got to make sure you're
- 1:14:43making. Us you're not you're not ruining
- 1:14:46your life that's. Kind of weird though.
- 1:14:47Being a waste of space. Isn't that weird I?
- 1:14:50Guess. I view that it's kind of weird,
- 1:14:52Malcolm and. George are so used to it now.
- 1:14:55Yeah, it's like going. Yeah, you get a physical.
- 1:14:57You're just like, what's the limit on Oreos?
- 1:14:58They're like. You know what Malcolm would say
- 1:15:00if I said you'd be like, you paying for it, you paying for a
- 1:15:02doctor visit, because that's. Co-pay like $40 thirty 20
- 1:15:07depending on what you got. I don't know, let's.
- 1:15:10Go together, Malcolm. Yeah, well, you can hold each
- 1:15:12other. What?
- 1:15:13Are you saying you? Can hold each other.
- 1:15:16The doctor's going to go. The doctor's going to go.
- 1:15:18All right, I'm just going to ask you to cough and then Malcolm's
- 1:15:20going to go. No, I got it from here.
- 1:15:25Fucking for real? Because that's what I thought
- 1:15:28you were concerned about when Frankie was saying I got to find
- 1:15:31a doctor. I'm like this guy's looking for
- 1:15:32somebody that he feels comfortable with because he's
- 1:15:35going to stick a finger in his ass.
- 1:15:36I don't know. I just never.
- 1:15:38I didn't. I feel like you have to with me.
- 1:15:41I, I research everything, you know, so it's like finding a
- 1:15:44doctor. I'm like, that's pretty
- 1:15:45important. So maybe I don't.
- 1:15:47Disagree, I was kind of the same way with all mine because I do
- 1:15:51heart doctor, cholesterol doctor primary and my sleep doctor.
- 1:15:55Are you? OK.
- 1:15:57I'm good. OK, I'm just making sure.
- 1:15:59It's just like real bad genetics.
- 1:16:01Yeah, no, I'm because I'm, I probably have the same ones and
- 1:16:05I'm not that far off and I'm real scared.
- 1:16:06Did you have these when you were 2930?
- 1:16:09I had high blood at 2021 so I've been on medication since then.
- 1:16:14Holy. Shit dude, well you would know
- 1:16:16by now I. Would know by now.
- 1:16:17That's why I'm like, all right, go, go.
- 1:16:19I got some time. I got some time but it's only
- 1:16:21about it. Really got to the point.
- 1:16:22I was like, you know, when you're like just such in a rush
- 1:16:24in the morning, you're working. You're like, dude, I just got a
- 1:16:26fucking headache. Like I just need to eat
- 1:16:28something. So I went to go eat my lunch.
- 1:16:30And I'm like. Dude, I do not feel good.
- 1:16:33So I shut the lights off in our lunch room and I'm just like,
- 1:16:35head down right, taking a nap, my boss like you OK.
- 1:16:39I'm like, I just don't feel good.
- 1:16:41Clock back in and then phone rings like hey, grab that.
- 1:16:45I grabbed the pen. I was like, dude, I can't write.
- 1:16:48Stop. I couldn't write.
- 1:16:50I was like frozen and I was like struggling and they're like go
- 1:16:53to the doctor and then I did and I'm like, your blood pressure
- 1:16:56was like 170 something over like a high 90s like.
- 1:17:00Did that happen? Happened to me?
- 1:17:02I don't know. I I need to go.
- 1:17:04I need to go. Sometimes I get a little light
- 1:17:05headed. I don't know what's going.
- 1:17:06On that's just that's normal that's from coming from like
- 1:17:09standing up and down like that's yeah that is a loss of motor
- 1:17:13skills and that's fucking scary I.
- 1:17:14Thought you were going to say you got a stroke.
- 1:17:15Yeah, that sounds like you're about to have a stroke.
- 1:17:17No, it's crazy. So like my dad had his two and
- 1:17:22one year, so it's been like 10 years now.
- 1:17:25So he had two in one year and the second one was probably the
- 1:17:27worst. But like I'm trying to beat the
- 1:17:29family dynamic because his brothers all at the same age at
- 1:17:3350, my dad had two strokes, his brother had his stroke, his
- 1:17:37other one got Bell's palsy, and the other one had stents put in
- 1:17:40his heart. So it's like crazy.
- 1:17:43So I'm like trying to. Beat the dude, you got a, you
- 1:17:45got a fucking shit load to beat. We're going to the gym after.
- 1:17:48This. You're going to have to.
- 1:17:49Yeah, we're going to go to a salad bar after this, he said.
- 1:17:53Salad bar? You guys were talking
- 1:17:54McDonald's? Yeah.
- 1:17:55Yeah, yeah. Fucking love that.
- 1:17:57We are definitely not going to. McDonald's.
- 1:17:58Hey look, I shoveled my whole ash driveway today.
- 1:18:00It was heavy as fuck. I can eat something.
- 1:18:02No, no, no. I had protein pasta.
- 1:18:04From dude, I'd be panicking if I was you.
- 1:18:07I'm good. No, Oh my God, you're.
- 1:18:09He's doing, he's doing something about it.
- 1:18:11And guess what? He wouldn't have known any of
- 1:18:13that shit if he didn't go to Dr. #1.
- 1:18:14How does genetics do that? Or Filipino.
- 1:18:17It's so. Weird though, right?
- 1:18:19Filipino is definitely known for high.
- 1:18:21Blood, Yeah. High Blood.
- 1:18:22High, Yeah. I noticed that they Yeah yeah.
- 1:18:24What's that other thing? Gout y'all, y'all got that shit
- 1:18:27I don't. I don't have gout.
- 1:18:29I don't have gout. OK, Thank God.
- 1:18:30I don't have a lot of things except for the skin shit.
- 1:18:33Yeah, thank God, But I don't. My dad's pretty healthy, he's
- 1:18:38only had like self-inflicted wounds like he like from smoking
- 1:18:42cigarettes. He had to fucking get on a
- 1:18:43little inhaler guy for a little while.
- 1:18:45Oh, really? And then he went right back to
- 1:18:47smoking cigs and then hasn't had that since.
- 1:18:50I don't know, the human body is so weird with that.
- 1:18:54I I just find it weird that it's passed on from your parents
- 1:18:58because it's like. What?
- 1:19:00What wouldn't it be Your body is your parents make you out of
- 1:19:05pieces of their stuff? Like what?
- 1:19:09A human body is just a human body.
- 1:19:10Why does it matter who gave birth to you like that?
- 1:19:15You're going to get. It doesn't make sense your.
- 1:19:17DNA. Like a heart is a heart.
- 1:19:19No, but it's it, it, it starts from the DNA it it starts from
- 1:19:24DNA like an existing DNA, just like anything like health, life
- 1:19:29cycle shit like fucking. Kids don't get it.
- 1:19:31Dude like my mom healthy. Yeah, but your dad.
- 1:19:36My dad, I'm like, I got it from my dad.
- 1:19:38I just don't get it. To me, I'm thinking of it like a
- 1:19:41car. I'm like, you buy a car from
- 1:19:43this dealership, it's the same one if you get it from that
- 1:19:45dealership dude. Yeah, but then you can't tell me
- 1:19:47though. Like you see that car that's
- 1:19:49beat up on the highway, taped up windows?
- 1:19:51No, but that's different that. Car.
- 1:19:52That car lasts forever. Oh yeah, yeah, me.
- 1:19:55And you, all three of us take care of our cars.
- 1:19:58Something's going to go catastrophic.
- 1:19:59Always. Well, that's where you fucked
- 1:20:00up. I don't take care of my shit.
- 1:20:02Yeah, and that shit's been fucking reliable as hell.
- 1:20:04I don't I I, I quite literally don't know what the secret is.
- 1:20:08And I have friends. So you're saying don't take care
- 1:20:09of your health and maybe you'll last?
- 1:20:11No. Definitely take care of it
- 1:20:12doesn't. Work.
- 1:20:12Yeah, it doesn't work in that aspect.
- 1:20:14Well, listen to your. I think an important thing is to
- 1:20:15listen to the body. Like, if your body is quite
- 1:20:18literally telling you not to do something, then don't do it.
- 1:20:21Like I don't. The genetics thing is just weird
- 1:20:25to me. Yeah, now the genetics, I'm
- 1:20:27shocked that the genetics thing is weird, is weird to you
- 1:20:30because I feel like it's the most concrete.
- 1:20:34I guess I don't know shit about DNA and all that.
- 1:20:36Neither do I, but I know that like fucking you take.
- 1:20:41OK, here we go. You take.
- 1:20:44You take here. We go.
- 1:20:45He's a scientist, you take. What's wrong?
- 1:20:47You take an apple, you take, you take it you want to make you,
- 1:20:50you want to make you want to make cereal, right?
- 1:20:55You're you're about to make cereal.
- 1:20:55You ever see the video of the dude who crushes stuff up puts
- 1:20:58it in the oven? Bakes it and.
- 1:21:00Crushes it back again and then rebakes it.
- 1:21:02Do you know what I'm talking about?
- 1:21:03Those reels nonetheless. This guy.
- 1:21:04Does brain rash? It is, it is.
- 1:21:07But let's say you, you were going to make this cereal.
- 1:21:10The first cereal tastes like shit.
- 1:21:12And you have a good cereal right here.
- 1:21:14And you mix them together and you crunch it up and you make a
- 1:21:17brownie out of it and you bake it and you take that baked
- 1:21:20brownie that now is taste kind of less shitty.
- 1:21:24Crunch it up. This is actually good.
- 1:21:26Crunch it up. Rebake it with a now also less
- 1:21:32shitty cereal right to blend in. Add it the new person to make
- 1:21:36something else. Guess what the remnants from the
- 1:21:39first one? The shit dude number one is
- 1:21:41still in #3. But you can't really taste it
- 1:21:44that much. It will get watered down more
- 1:21:46and more and more, so it's just depending on.
- 1:21:47The opposite way will happen. And it could be the worst.
- 1:21:50It could be like the opposite, like it'll get to you'll.
- 1:21:53Start it out good as a normal human.
- 1:21:55You'll be eating some berries and some deer in the woods.
- 1:21:58And now we're eating. Nuggets.
- 1:21:59And now you're eating Mcnuggets every night.
- 1:22:01That's see that, but that's what I'm saying like traits, genetic
- 1:22:05traits get handed down. Like you could calculate that
- 1:22:10shit. Like if if you ever heard of
- 1:22:11like a Punnett square like from science class, you remember
- 1:22:14that. Yeah, I have to admit your
- 1:22:16analogy kind of made made it make sense.
- 1:22:19It's because it had fucking brownie in it.
- 1:22:21One fucking word. I'm also starving.
- 1:22:23Yeah, yeah, I would like that brownie.
- 1:22:25I I don't know why the fuck I'm getting all of these fucking.
- 1:22:27I did horrible in every science class, every single one.
- 1:22:30But Punnett squares was like the big, like the big, the capital
- 1:22:35letter, little letter, capital, capital, capital letter,
- 1:22:37whatever, whatever. And that's like the jeans that
- 1:22:39would get handed down. Yeah, I don't know shit about
- 1:22:41any of that, but I believe you. I.
- 1:22:43Don't know. I was.
- 1:22:44I should have been nervous. I would have been really your
- 1:22:46heart. It's just after over the years
- 1:22:49of people having kids, it's like, well, you've been eating
- 1:22:51like shit. You've been eating like shit.
- 1:22:52You've been eating like shit. OK, Well, the hearts that you're
- 1:22:54producing are getting weaker and weaker and.
- 1:22:57But then you have what sucks is then you have Josh, who is
- 1:23:00trying to fucking fix all of that shit.
- 1:23:04Yeah, and he's got a bad starting point.
- 1:23:06And he's starting from down here.
- 1:23:09Like that's the shitty part about being in that.
- 1:23:13I don't know. Like I don't know that that.
- 1:23:15Linear. Area of our lives, I guess.
- 1:23:17I don't know where you could make a change.
- 1:23:18Oh fuck, the fuck do I know? But but you also still might get
- 1:23:22that genetic disease like unfortunately, which sucks.
- 1:23:25Like you could run a sick healthy life and then at 70 you
- 1:23:29get fucking brain cancer and you're done.
- 1:23:32Like it's horrible. And then you're like, why did I?
- 1:23:34Why did I put in all this work? I would have just been smoking
- 1:23:37cigs every day. Why?
- 1:23:38Did I take all those cold showers?
- 1:23:39Horrible. Yeah, Why did I?
- 1:23:40Why did I do all those cold showers?
- 1:23:42Why did I not take a sip alcohol?
- 1:23:44Why didn't I smoke pot when I could?
- 1:23:45Like why are you talking about me?
- 1:23:47It's targeted I. Don't know.
- 1:23:49I'm just thinking of all the good things that kind of yeah,
- 1:23:50I'm just, I'm just, I'm just thinking of all the good things
- 1:23:52that I do that I like doing and that Frankie does not like doing
- 1:23:56for good measure, for good reason.
- 1:23:59Yeah, luckily my genetics I don't think are that bad.
- 1:24:02No, your sister's always like you're not going to get
- 1:24:03diabetes. I'm like, I'm going to get
- 1:24:05diabetes. Your.
- 1:24:05Dad is fucking. He's a yeah, he's a medical
- 1:24:08mystery. So I guess I'm good.
- 1:24:10Like, yeah, my dad is too. Like he's still fucking
- 1:24:13chooching. Now he's electronic babes.
- 1:24:15He's fucking on the. Jewel Oh no.
- 1:24:17But same shit just drinks every other day.
- 1:24:20Yes, and smokes. Jewels and fucking party.
- 1:24:24The day my dad smokes a fucking e-cigarrete or whatever, I'm
- 1:24:27going to fucking slap the shit out of him.
- 1:24:29He just like realized it was easier to do.
- 1:24:31To be yeah, that's, that's the bad part.
- 1:24:33You can't show them that because then they're like, oh, I can
- 1:24:35just do this anywhere I want. No, no, stick to walking outside
- 1:24:39and freezing your ass off. That way you don't smoke as
- 1:24:42much. Just sucks that way that like
- 1:24:44that is quite literally like the combat.
- 1:24:48The the. The fight that you're, that Josh
- 1:24:49is fighting. Yeah, it's, I mean it's.
- 1:24:52Years of fucking. Like I'm panicking for you and
- 1:24:55I'm not even like. Now we've now we've freaked you
- 1:24:57out. Now you're just.
- 1:24:59No, like I just, I'm just so accustomed to it now.
- 1:25:01It's just like an everyday thing for.
- 1:25:02Me and I'm sure your doctors are probably like, oh, you just take
- 1:25:05this pill and you're good. It's not that simple though.
- 1:25:07Is. It I would assume it's not, but
- 1:25:09I mean there's. The blood pressure pills have
- 1:25:11been the same, but like the cholesterol, like before I
- 1:25:14started taking that shot, it was like, oh, try these.
- 1:25:17And then I was allergic to four of them.
- 1:25:20Two of them made my throat swell shut.
- 1:25:21Jesus Christ. So they're like take a steroid
- 1:25:24to make it go down. And then we tried other things,
- 1:25:27but like the other one, I couldn't even talk a full
- 1:25:29sentence without like having to cough just like a dry cough for
- 1:25:32no reason. What's the?
- 1:25:33Symptom of having the high cholesterol.
- 1:25:35I'm scared to know this just out of dude.
- 1:25:37You go every year, you're good. I know, but like when?
- 1:25:40You get blood work every. Year well it's blood work and
- 1:25:42then they check like you're they always tell you hey this is your
- 1:25:45good blood sugar and you're bad it's got to be at this level and
- 1:25:48I'm. Just you're just like right
- 1:25:49above it like, but that's not too bad.
- 1:25:52You maybe? Just, well, she told me.
- 1:25:53She's like, if this pen doesn't work, you're going on insulin.
- 1:25:57Oh Jesus Christ. So I tried it and she's like,
- 1:26:01OK, I'll see you in a month. And it worked and it worked OK.
- 1:26:04Thank you. You change your diet and that's
- 1:26:07and it doesn't even. Dude, But when I did that whole
- 1:26:12month span, I lost 13 lbs because I was like following a
- 1:26:15strict diet. Yeah, all that.
- 1:26:17Nothing. The following trick diet losing
- 1:26:19weight all that this is. Crazy man.
- 1:26:22I'm scared. Genetics have a.
- 1:26:24Because it will hit it, it will catch up to me.
- 1:26:27I just don't know when and I don't know how is like I'm going
- 1:26:30to have to stop doing something. The drinking thing, I've believe
- 1:26:35it or not, like lessened it. I like hard liquor a lot
- 1:26:38compared to this. And like I can't really drink
- 1:26:41hard liquor like that anymore. It like tears up my insides.
- 1:26:45I I think. Dude, I I'm going to try bucked
- 1:26:48up and it's and guess what? The the the.
- 1:26:51The person that I was last year that was able to just drink all
- 1:26:53those Red Bulls after all that degradation of the body, now I'm
- 1:26:58going to drink a bucked up and it's going to just ruin me.
- 1:27:00It's going to hurt. Like I'm going to fucking like,
- 1:27:02start. Shooting.
- 1:27:03I'm going to see him at final bone.
- 1:27:04He's not going to have a neck. Yeah, just going to be.
- 1:27:07I've been bucked up since that day.
- 1:27:08I've been drinking bucked UPS every day but no I just I'm.
- 1:27:12I'm just scared if it's just going to come crashing down and
- 1:27:15catching up, catch up like. I think when I turned 30 or 31
- 1:27:18is when I was like, all right, I'm going to start like
- 1:27:21exercising. I think now's a good time.
- 1:27:24I exercise so I could try to get girls.
- 1:27:26Oh, I don't give a fuck about that.
- 1:27:28But I was like, I need to, I need to do something.
- 1:27:30So, but you know what it was because I haven't gone to the
- 1:27:32doctor. So I was like, I got at least
- 1:27:34exercise, you know, let me do something.
- 1:27:36This is a 30 year old and up fucking podcast holy fuck.
- 1:27:39Yeah, you're turning 30 soon, so.
- 1:27:41What about taxes? Are we talking about taxes?
- 1:27:43Taxes. No dependents, bitch.
- 1:27:46Fuck. I get fucked every year so
- 1:27:48there's no way around that. Whatever, I was just kidding.
- 1:27:51You got anything planned like where, where are you going in
- 1:27:53the future with like your automotive stuff?
- 1:27:55Josh, I'll. Probably keep it going for a
- 1:27:58little bit. Keep.
- 1:27:59Being a hobbyist and like. A little bit.
- 1:28:02No, Don't tell me you have any intention to stop now.
- 1:28:04Don't. Don't like you always get in
- 1:28:06those moods. You're like, ha, no, no, no, no,
- 1:28:08no, no, no, no. But it doesn't owe me anything
- 1:28:12to sell it, right? It's just like, I have no time
- 1:28:14for it right now, just because work's so crazy and all that.
- 1:28:16And I'm just like, I still need paint.
- 1:28:18I still got to do all this. That's OK though, that's OK.
- 1:28:21That's OK. Don't fucking sell it, please.
- 1:28:24Luckily like it's still hard to get into events like when club
- 1:28:28Fr posts it's gone in seconds. So I literally have to like,
- 1:28:32hey, like I'll pay you if I can just go drive for a day type
- 1:28:37deal when like you get to the pits and it's like full.
- 1:28:39And you can't go anywhere and you don't know anybody because
- 1:28:42now everybody before. Going to these events lately,
- 1:28:46let's say. Like most of their driver caps
- 1:28:48are like around 60 to 80 somewhere around there.
- 1:28:52Do you know what Club Loose is or no?
- 1:28:54It's club Fr. No club loose.
- 1:28:56Like what's your driver? Cap What's your driver cap?
- 1:28:5860 something. Oh it is.
- 1:28:59It doesn't ever get higher than like I don't know, 60-70?
- 1:29:05So. It's probably around the.
- 1:29:06I just have to commit to come out like if I done if you come
- 1:29:09in and that was a hike. Dude here at least you know you
- 1:29:13have fucking. Arizona.
- 1:29:16Wait, what? I don't even know about this
- 1:29:17track. Can we look this up, Malcolm?
- 1:29:18Because I love, I just love Arizona.
- 1:29:20So I know people have been starting to drift out there,
- 1:29:23but. Josh, try YouTube search do
- 1:29:26showdown drift in Tucson. Try to make it out for for if it
- 1:29:31isn't a club loose event. Freaking East Coast Drift school
- 1:29:34will have you private. So I think that's what like, my
- 1:29:35brain was messing with me because I'm like cage, I need a
- 1:29:38welded cage. Yeah.
- 1:29:39And I'm like, I just have the Cusco, but like I have someone
- 1:29:42holding a cage for me right now that you can you can do it.
- 1:29:45But I was like, yeah, you'd have to work through the classes and,
- 1:29:48you know, like CB, all that right?
- 1:29:51I'm sure I could do it. But it also weed out, you know,
- 1:29:54we talked about it like you brought a lot of Club Fr
- 1:29:56drivers, like your entry is fast.
- 1:29:59Yeah, yeah. I feel like that would scare a
- 1:30:00lot of people. At from Club Fr to Utah, Yeah, I
- 1:30:04think. I think 10 years ago, yeah.
- 1:30:06But now when I go to Club Fr, when I see people at final bout,
- 1:30:10I'm like, oh these guys. The driving has gotten so much
- 1:30:13better. Dude, that's because now the
- 1:30:15fast entry is what it that since that's what scares me the most.
- 1:30:20That's what I want to do. But all I want to.
- 1:30:21Do that goes back to us talking about like people knowing what
- 1:30:25setups to do now. That yeah, like before,
- 1:30:28information readily available. And all the videos they can
- 1:30:31watch. And there's so many vlogs like
- 1:30:33you. Didn't have a SIM back then.
- 1:30:35No, no. We were talking about how the
- 1:30:37SIM Josh doesn't SIM OK. But I've tried it and I'm like,
- 1:30:40I can't. I think it's because we've
- 1:30:42already driven, drifted and we know what that feels like.
- 1:30:45And then like people that are new to it are going to practice.
- 1:30:49I'm like, to me it's like totally different ball game.
- 1:30:51Yeah. That's exactly like like if you
- 1:30:55and like when you and Josh tried mine, it's like 2 gorillas in
- 1:30:58there fucking staring at fire for the first time.
- 1:31:02It was hilarious. Yeah, we were just not having a
- 1:31:04good time. Yeah, that honestly, it was, it
- 1:31:07was nice. It was funny to see because it
- 1:31:09is. That is how it works, exactly
- 1:31:11how you said. Click the first one, Malcolm.
- 1:31:13You're expecting something and it's not happening.
- 1:31:16So this is the Arizona track? Yeah, I've never seen this.
- 1:31:21I mean, I guess I heard of it. That name's familiar.
- 1:31:24It's a pretty big track. It's huge dude, the turns are
- 1:31:27long and. What event was going on down
- 1:31:30there that you went to? Showdown?
- 1:31:31Showdown what? What is this?
- 1:31:32Is this just like one of their? This is like one of their
- 1:31:35events. OK.
- 1:31:36Rick usually runs it as well as AJ and then a couple others are
- 1:31:40like all. AJ is living down here now.
- 1:31:43No, AJ just drove down there to go drive.
- 1:31:46OK. His dad's got a house down
- 1:31:48there. I'm wondering, like, how so?
- 1:31:50So who's the other person you know that was there?
- 1:31:51Rick, you know the purple JZX? I don't think so, Purple Jeezy.
- 1:31:57Yes, you do. Do I, Meisters?
- 1:31:59Yeah, it's like he. Lives down there, yeah.
- 1:32:03OK, so it's really he lives down there and you're going down
- 1:32:05there because he's you're. I was like screw it.
- 1:32:07I was like I want to try a new track.
- 1:32:09Yeah. And that, well, I mean, you've
- 1:32:11driven to California. Yeah, it's funny.
- 1:32:14That was a hike. Yeah, that looks like it's fast
- 1:32:17and that's what I like. I wish I went to a fast track
- 1:32:21that I feel like you could experience on the East Coast is
- 1:32:23Polecat and Chase just or Chase Base?
- 1:32:26Just did a customer day there and that was a fast track.
- 1:32:32I wish I did that. Yeah, I mean, the car looks
- 1:32:35familiar, that purple JZX, but I don't think I know.
- 1:32:38I'm just enjoying seeing 2 Corollas drifting right now in
- 1:32:412025 or whatever. Like this is nice to.
- 1:32:44See. You know, the track is long,
- 1:32:45it's fast, it's flat, it's smooth.
- 1:32:47I would love to drift there. I would definitely like to go
- 1:32:50back for redemption. Yeah, that looks so good right
- 1:32:53here. That's entry here.
- 1:32:55And then floor it. Yeah.
- 1:32:58Oh yeah, this is cool. But then after this, it's just
- 1:33:01like into a giant skid pad. OK.
- 1:33:04Oh wait, what? Like you'll see it open up hold.
- 1:33:07On I think what I was talking. About oh what the fuck?
- 1:33:11Are we hauling ass right now? Yep, we're hauling ash right
- 1:33:14now. I mean, I would just go because
- 1:33:17it's Arizona. I thought that I think I was
- 1:33:20confusing this and something called gingerman I think.
- 1:33:23Gingerman's in. Gingerman's Michigan, where they
- 1:33:26do grid life. Yeah, so that's where Sam?
- 1:33:28Yeah, that that track is. There I just, you know what I
- 1:33:30think of. I think of Sam from Smoothbrain.
- 1:33:34He talks when he talks, when he talked about Gingerman, Yeah,
- 1:33:38always the. Good grid life event they're
- 1:33:40doing this year is actually at Rd.
- 1:33:41America in Wisconsin, so it's a little bit closer, but they have
- 1:33:45a CART track that Club Fr used to drift.
- 1:33:47And then you get to do that because only select people get
- 1:33:50to actually do the track, the road, the road course.
- 1:33:55But the car track is awesome. Yeah.
- 1:33:58For anybody who's listening, I've never torn up an infield or
- 1:34:02ruin any grass anywhere, anywhere.
- 1:34:05So you're a good candidate. I'm a good candidate and if it
- 1:34:09and if the grass gets torn up, I'll be good, I'll I'll plant
- 1:34:11some new ones. Yeah.
- 1:34:14That, that, that right there, that that would have me hooked.
- 1:34:16That's good enough for me to want.
- 1:34:17To go surprised this track hasn't gotten more it looks
- 1:34:20coverage because this this is pretty.
- 1:34:22Sure it has dude. For sure I.
- 1:34:23Don't know like. And what is this like that I
- 1:34:27would just. Be home with so much up by a
- 1:34:30certain way you know no. Way I'm just going to fly right
- 1:34:32there and just pray. Muscle man, I think this is
- 1:34:39going to be a big thing in the coming years.
- 1:34:41You know, in there somebody's going.
- 1:34:45The Arizona Drift scene to me was always like, from what I've
- 1:34:48seen was always just like, it looked like a takeover scene,
- 1:34:52you know, it didn't look like they really had it a scene yet.
- 1:34:54There was a lot of like pro am build like thermal radiator wise
- 1:34:58fab yeah. That stuff.
- 1:35:00Too. Oh, but not like pro.
- 1:35:03There's not like cars like. Forest was there.
- 1:35:05Oh, OK, because he's he's local. No, I mean like, but I I there's
- 1:35:11a pro am build, but there's no pro am driver is what I'm
- 1:35:15talking about, is what you're saying?
- 1:35:18I'd say they're like good, but I didn't see them a lot like
- 1:35:21competing, you know? Yeah, there's just sometimes you
- 1:35:23just see a guy with a rear mounted radiator and then they
- 1:35:26can't fucking link the track and I'm like, that's crazy.
- 1:35:29Like that was me and I was struggling bad.
- 1:35:32But you don't have a rear. Mounted radiator.
- 1:35:34Like why is that a thing? I don't know man.
- 1:35:37Definitely would like to go back and tune for Elevation.
- 1:35:40Oh wait, you had issues with that I.
- 1:35:42Just my car felt so slow. Really.
- 1:35:44Was it hot? No, it was like probably like
- 1:35:4870, OK, high seventies, 80s, low 80s in February.
- 1:35:53What is elevation there though? It can't be that crazy.
- 1:35:57Tucson, AZ Elevation. Thank you Malcolm Guy is working
- 1:36:01the hell out of Malcolm these. Past it is what it is, man.
- 1:36:06It is what it be, man, that is. Crazy 2600 feet, definitely
- 1:36:10higher. Above sea.
- 1:36:11Level. Yeah.
- 1:36:13Is that not what we're at? No, we're at like 5 feet.
- 1:36:17I was going to say this, the sea is right outside.
- 1:36:22The sea is right outside. Literally going to show up
- 1:36:24through the feet of the fucking shop. 250 feet, highest
- 1:36:27elevation, average. Average.
- 1:36:29OK, I was like, what? Oh, high point there, yeah.
- 1:36:33Yeah. 1800 There we go. My car might run a little bad
- 1:36:36over there. But towns?
- 1:36:39Definitely in the books. Chicago's dude we'll get let.
- 1:36:43Let me know. I feel like the craze I've been
- 1:36:44seeing just lately has just been pole cat.
- 1:36:47That's that's what I want to go do when.
- 1:36:50That Chase Bays event, Really. That's what I was mentioning
- 1:36:52really crazy. Like that's the fast track on
- 1:36:54the East that I that you could probably experience that AT.
- 1:36:57And sadly I didn't. I didn't take Chase up on the
- 1:37:00opportunity. They approved me and money
- 1:37:02didn't line up. Like I was getting laid off at
- 1:37:04the same fucking time. If I knew I was going to get
- 1:37:06laid off, I would have just fucking went.
- 1:37:07Yeah, it looked like it was a good event, Josh and everyone
- 1:37:10said it was. They were like, that track is
- 1:37:12sick. Dude, Diego was just yeah, yeah,
- 1:37:17I was getting videos the whole time and then Josh going you
- 1:37:19fucked up for not. Coming here.
- 1:37:21I was like OK and then chop job. Dude, are you at Polecat or no
- 1:37:28fuck, Hey, they're having another one.
- 1:37:32I. Think and that was like a, that
- 1:37:33was like a driver's event. Dude, it was I.
- 1:37:35Feel like that was like, yeah, it wasn't really spending like.
- 1:37:37Just watching all the footage, yeah, was.
- 1:37:39We're not there as well. No.
- 1:37:41All right. See.
- 1:37:42See. See.
- 1:37:42Now. So you.
- 1:37:43Haven't been to that track yet. No, I have.
- 1:37:44Not it looked awesome. We should go.
- 1:37:46When did you start like venturing out of plug Fr area?
- 1:37:51So what was it 3 years ago I did muscle man and I was like screw
- 1:37:55it. And then after, I think that
- 1:37:56same year, I went to knuckle up and then I was like, yeah, I
- 1:37:59definitely. Want to talk to us about that?
- 1:38:01Knuckle up. Yeah, even further.
- 1:38:04Well, I think that was the first event Jimmy put on at night time
- 1:38:06and I was like, I had the itch. I'm like, I don't want to drive.
- 1:38:10And I'm like, on New Year's, Like what?
- 1:38:11Sounds better. Everyone went to that New Year's
- 1:38:13one man. God damn, so good last year.
- 1:38:15Yeah. No, like a.
- 1:38:17Couple two years ago. 2-3 years ago.
- 1:38:18Oh, OK. It was great, like everyone in
- 1:38:21the pits, like just cooking out food, hanging out.
- 1:38:24Everyone was great, like Jimmy put on a killer event.
- 1:38:28Yeah, I, I really want to get down on one of those that to me,
- 1:38:32that's the event I really want to go to.
- 1:38:33I still have yet to meet Jimmy except for a quick little
- 1:38:36FaceTime call with Nick. Nick from Front Street was down
- 1:38:41there for Knuckle Up as well, I think for New Year's.
- 1:38:44Honestly. Yeah, yeah, that's what it was.
- 1:38:46He's on FaceTime with me and he's like, yo, hold on Jimmy,
- 1:38:49just like, yo, what's up? And I'm like, what the fuck?
- 1:38:52I'm literally just like at home. Like fucking like yo what's good
- 1:38:58like. Yeah, he's cool, man.
- 1:39:00Yeah, man, I, I, I one day I hope we get to meet, he said he
- 1:39:04was down for the podcast. I don't know how logistically we
- 1:39:06can fucking make that work. We're going to make it work.
- 1:39:08We're going to go to Texas. The day we get to meet.
- 1:39:10Honestly, like the best winter getaway.
- 1:39:12Texas. Barbecue.
- 1:39:15Like you just get down there like warm weather.
- 1:39:17I just want to go see some ranching bro.
- 1:39:19OK, OK, you can. See some ranch horses.
- 1:39:21I want to see some shit, Yeah. I didn't go through a lot of
- 1:39:24tire that was nice, just one pair, probably the whole.
- 1:39:27Weekend and it's flat as fuck. Speed sports do big entry.
- 1:39:32Thing some people were going crazy on what?
- 1:39:36Crazy, I saw some clips from that weekend or no not that
- 1:39:41weekend but like from a different weekend but on that
- 1:39:44track. I know he's been doing like the
- 1:39:46normal big entry and then like the reverse entry comp he's been
- 1:39:51doing there. Yeah.
- 1:39:52A lot of those guys throwing down.
- 1:39:54Are you a reverse entry guy? Do you like doing it?
- 1:39:57Because yeah, I've noticed with the like maybe the older
- 1:40:01Drifters that that is less of an appeal.
- 1:40:04Why is to me, it's like, I think I've hit like a limit for me
- 1:40:08with like driving like can you excel 100%?
- 1:40:12But I'm kind of like I'm good. I can get through the whole
- 1:40:14track. I can tandem with everybody and
- 1:40:16still have a good time. No, but.
- 1:40:18Visually, do you like that? Is that something that you would
- 1:40:21go for? Is that what you like to?
- 1:40:23Try to me personally, no right? I don't know what it is about
- 1:40:27it. I like a little bit of it.
- 1:40:29Carl's like torn between like cars like ours and then cars
- 1:40:33like Front Street like he like he likes the driving, but he
- 1:40:36likes the car to. Look, no, but there's like a,
- 1:40:38you know what I mean? Like there's like a reverse
- 1:40:40entry that's like too much, you know what I mean?
- 1:40:43Like when there's literally. Frankie.
- 1:40:45'S, yeah, yeah, that's called a reverse entry.
- 1:40:47To me, no, no, no, no, no. But like, yeah.
- 1:40:51'Cause you it looks that way, you know what I mean?
- 1:40:54Like it's about what it is. A reverse entry.
- 1:40:56I I heard Palmer or Julian say it on one of their podcasts.
- 1:41:00It's it's not a reverse entry anymore when you have to like
- 1:41:02pull it back. I, I'm not what I mean, I'm not
- 1:41:06smart enough to have that conversation, but maybe one day
- 1:41:08when I learn more about it 'cause I never really dove into
- 1:41:10that. But when you have to like pull
- 1:41:11the wheel back to like not spin out completely.
- 1:41:15OK, so you're saying you're saying too much?
- 1:41:19Yeah, sometimes you see a car and that bitch is straight up
- 1:41:21fucking like in reverse and then it and then and then it like
- 1:41:25pulls back like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:41:28Yeah, I I guess that's not. I feel like my car would just
- 1:41:30lock. I'm scared that I'm.
- 1:41:32I'm scared I'm a losing. Yeah, you need the wheel doing
- 1:41:34that like the wheel is going to. Fall off, you kind of need a
- 1:41:36different set up to do shit like that.
- 1:41:38Like, it's not going to, I mean, it doesn't have to be crazy, but
- 1:41:41you need a lot of clearance and our cars don't really have a lot
- 1:41:44of clearance at the at the lights.
- 1:41:47Josh and Tom kill it. Yeah.
- 1:41:48It's not a Simba kills it. It's like clearance, different
- 1:41:50heights. Yeah, you're right.
- 1:41:52I haven't seen Simba do like reverse entries, but.
- 1:41:54But I'm saying general like height wise you know?
- 1:41:56Yeah. I'm like, to each their own.
- 1:41:58I'm like, I'm never going to knock somebody that's a great
- 1:42:00driver. Like I I prefer Simba's style of
- 1:42:04driving, probably because if the car's low and it just.
- 1:42:07And they, like you, all are the same age.
- 1:42:09I'm like, I don't know, I don't think so, but his?
- 1:42:11Car's just so fast. Yeah, dude, I.
- 1:42:13Don't care about. Frankie's car, that's why.
- 1:42:15No no, no. I don't think my shift is going
- 1:42:17to be fast motor. Same.
- 1:42:19It's a TVOC. Do you have it for like that one
- 1:42:21person you can just watch over and over again and you're like,
- 1:42:23dude, you're so fucking fast. How?
- 1:42:26Yeah, Brad Hartzog from Texas. That guy's pretty specific.
- 1:42:30Yeah. I don't know what it is about
- 1:42:32him. And I've told him before, I'm
- 1:42:33like, yo, you're a freak. You could drive really, really
- 1:42:36good anything. Anything with wheels, just one
- 1:42:39of those guys like anything Motorsports I feel like Brad
- 1:42:42would be fast at. Do you have a friend like that?
- 1:42:45Oh wait, there he is right here, right here.
- 1:42:47He would be amazing at everything.
- 1:42:48I've never seen him behind the wheel or anything.
- 1:42:50Malcolm but, but he has it. I mean, he's got.
- 1:42:53He would pick it up. He's good.
- 1:42:54At everything he does. Usually like anything
- 1:42:56Motorsports related, I feel like that's my friend who's probably
- 1:42:59good at that like he'd be. Good, this is your friend.
- 1:43:01Like, you know this guy. Grip, driving, drifting, that
- 1:43:04that person can drive good. Yeah, I don't have to think
- 1:43:07about it. I don't know.
- 1:43:08Oh yeah. My friend Dan Sharif is always
- 1:43:09good at driving no matter what period.
- 1:43:11Anything you drive. Just the natural at driving.
- 1:43:13That's just how it goes sometimes.
- 1:43:15Yeah, I think that. I think so.
- 1:43:18But like someone that's just too fast or like I don't know.
- 1:43:21I don't, I don't think so. But when I was drifting everyone
- 1:43:23had slow cars so. I just like watching SIM.
- 1:43:26I like the the Autobahn video where Simba posted he's going.
- 1:43:32Lying. And it's smooth still.
- 1:43:35So he's not in there going like this or just fucking doing like
- 1:43:3990 miles an hour. I.
- 1:43:41Remember when I got to ride with him for the first time?
- 1:43:43I was like holy shit. Probably sounds sick in that car
- 1:43:48too. Just.
- 1:43:48Like boat worker? Yeah, insane.
- 1:43:51He's like a robot. We have the same manifold too,
- 1:43:53but our car, our car sounds completely different.
- 1:43:56Yeah. That that that's the he got
- 1:43:58that. Stroker did.
- 1:44:00Did did you always have? Well, how much power do you
- 1:44:02have? My car makes 410 did.
- 1:44:05You always have that or did you start?
- 1:44:08Cuz I know your motor's been built for 10 years or some shit.
- 1:44:10I always run at like 14 PSI so I had it initially with like an
- 1:44:15old greti like T518Z like journal bearing turbo.
- 1:44:18OK, laggyish old topic. That thing was probably.
- 1:44:22So cool. It was, it was crazy, but I'm
- 1:44:24like my dumb ass ran the screamer pipe so it just sounded
- 1:44:27like you had an. Exhaust.
- 1:44:28Yeah, yeah. And then was it a bottom mount?
- 1:44:31Yeah, a bottom. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:44:32OK. So I stuck with bottom mount and
- 1:44:33then I had like I said, D style do everything.
- 1:44:35So I went G 25550 ID ten 50s like all the piping, everything
- 1:44:41like that. How much did your car make
- 1:44:42before with a gruddy turbo? 300.
- 1:44:44OK, so you did have a car? At that was a fun setup
- 1:44:47probably. Yeah, well, that lasted.
- 1:44:49A top end good while that was Power FC too.
- 1:44:53There you go. No power FCSR.
- 1:44:56How many years was that running like that?
- 1:44:59Five years. Five years to the.
- 1:45:01ECU fried. Not running.
- 1:45:04It was just like a wiring thing. It like freaked out and then
- 1:45:06like I looked on the commander one day and it just all went all
- 1:45:09haywire and you just smelled it. I'm like fuck all right.
- 1:45:14So occasionally things go wrong, but.
- 1:45:16I don't want to run it anymore. So anybody don't want to buy
- 1:45:18this whole tech? Forever.
- 1:45:20Oh, so you're in a Holotech now? Holtech.
- 1:45:22OK, I think I'm going to get a link if I can get a good deal on
- 1:45:25the link. I just ever since ever since.
- 1:45:28BJ made that commander thing. Yeah.
- 1:45:30Link I. Just saw that, that thing looks
- 1:45:32sick. Yeah, I'm going to keep bringing
- 1:45:34it up because that I'm stoked on that.
- 1:45:37That is going to be the only thing that might get me to go to
- 1:45:39a link for sure. Not the fact that it would
- 1:45:41probably save your engine, no, Not more like.
- 1:45:43No, the aesthetic of the piracy is the fact.
- 1:45:46That maybe it's one less thing to think about the things that
- 1:45:48the the podcast listeners have been yelling at us for.
- 1:45:51No, only you. You all were men you yell at.
- 1:45:54Me, all of you meant were about to they were about to get me to
- 1:45:57go. Jay's been doing some crazy
- 1:45:59stuff, even the clear tales. Oh yeah, I didn't really see
- 1:46:02that, but. I always I I said this last pod
- 1:46:05too, but. Clear Cokie tails.
- 1:46:06I'm like, I don't know how I feel about it.
- 1:46:08It's kind of cool. But clear Cokie tails, Yeah,
- 1:46:10that doesn't. Sound weird?
- 1:46:11Nobody tries it. Nobody will know what it looks
- 1:46:14like. Yeah.
- 1:46:15It would look good on his car. I'm.
- 1:46:16Good on Jay bro. Man, I hope I get to meet him
- 1:46:19soon someday. Or maybe not.
- 1:46:21Yeah, yo, Jay, you got to lower your car though.
- 1:46:24That shit's been high for a minute.
- 1:46:25And. Nah, he uses it for other stuff.
- 1:46:27What do you know about it? Time trials and shit.
- 1:46:30It's like that is a grip car right now.
- 1:46:32Nah, slam that shit. Jay, don't listen to anybody.
- 1:46:36Never. Change you to lower your car.
- 1:46:38Yeah. There is that video when they
- 1:46:42like did it for the first time. Yeah, that thing looked awe.
- 1:46:45Awesome, all those cars were so good.
- 1:46:47G Corb wing, but like the body was wide so it looked like a
- 1:46:50type X wing. OK, that OK, that era is the
- 1:46:53pinnacle of drifting for me, I think because.
- 1:46:56I'm a Minerva then, right? I don't know anything.
- 1:46:58What was that final about 32? So I don't know.
- 1:47:01I'm just remembering based off of like YouTube, so I didn't go
- 1:47:05to any of those those. Cars are so good.
- 1:47:07The R32 Teddy's car is so good. I didn't.
- 1:47:10I wish I knew about like those things.
- 1:47:13Like whenever. When no, whenever we talk about
- 1:47:15like that era of drifting, I literally was just like all the
- 1:47:18way over here. I was as far as you could be.
- 1:47:20But it was just on video and stuff.
- 1:47:22Yeah, I was just on YouTube with Chris.
- 1:47:25Chris was my gateway into there and he was just.
- 1:47:27Telling me, well it makes sense why you got hooked because that
- 1:47:29shit was sick. Yeah.
- 1:47:31Like if I came into drifting now, I'd be like, I'm good.
- 1:47:34Yeah, what the? I'm praying they do another
- 1:47:36gallery. Yeah, I agree.
- 1:47:38And you know, one of my favorite events there was Super D.
- 1:47:42That one I was not there for because I know I was at a
- 1:47:45wedding for that but like watching all the photos wedding.
- 1:47:48Because it was my, it was also my first competition ever.
- 1:47:50And I was like, OK, I guess I'll do it.
- 1:47:52And I wasn't going to. But and then you get behind the
- 1:47:54wheel during comp and you're just a totally different person
- 1:47:57and you're like, oh, I didn't know I could drive like that.
- 1:47:59Shit is so sick and and you know, everybody's watching so
- 1:48:03then you got to give them a show like and then you crash and then
- 1:48:05you're like. And then you're behind the
- 1:48:07wheel. You're like, I'm just, it's just
- 1:48:09for fun, right? And then the second you go,
- 1:48:11you're like, I'm going to fucking murder this guy and
- 1:48:13everything changes and you're like on his shit.
- 1:48:15And you're just like, everything's different.
- 1:48:17Nah, man, that was that was sick.
- 1:48:19I would have loved that. Yeah, dude, they were, there was
- 1:48:22like in that video of Super D like there's like a raw comp run
- 1:48:27video and it's you just watch Frankie's run and you're just
- 1:48:30like, yeah. Dude, I that was the best
- 1:48:33driving I've ever done in my life.
- 1:48:34Like I remember that moment and I was like, and then what's his
- 1:48:38face didn't? Oh, who knocked?
- 1:48:40Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know who knocked you out.
- 1:48:45I know who knocked you out. Yeah.
- 1:48:49No, that's, that's what it was. That's.
- 1:48:51A well deserved win. I think he he didn't drift.
- 1:48:54He. Did kind of smoke you?
- 1:48:55Yeah, on that one. Yeah, I, I and I was trying
- 1:48:58hard, but whoever that Lexus was before me, I fucked him up.
- 1:49:03It was the IS3. 100 it wasn't. The.
- 1:49:05Color white IS300. Definitely a Midwest guy, I
- 1:49:09think. Yeah, I have.
- 1:49:10No idea who's got a white one. It was just like a back then.
- 1:49:14I feel like that was cool. Like there was no full rock comp
- 1:49:19like comp comp. No, but that's that's what I
- 1:49:22mean like. Where was like announcer
- 1:49:25watching it as if it was like a. It wasn't a team thing.
- 1:49:30That's. Individual.
- 1:49:31That's like gallery. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:49:33I was like. This is I like.
- 1:49:34This is like an individual type. Individual, but not really
- 1:49:37because there was some people there who had like their
- 1:49:40teammates there I feel like, but they weren't going as a team.
- 1:49:42So it was like fun. Because everyone's used to just
- 1:49:44going there for final bout, but then it was like, oh, it's super
- 1:49:46deep. Well, I guess we're still just
- 1:49:47going all together. And then we went and there
- 1:49:50wasn't a final bout that year, I don't think.
- 1:49:51Right. No, because it was just gallery
- 1:49:53because that was like early in the year and then final bout the
- 1:49:56final or the following year. Yeah, because I went to the
- 1:49:59gallery one too, I think. I would love to do the gallery.
- 1:50:03I don't really remember that though, maybe I didn't go.
- 1:50:05That was 20/19/20. I don't know I would if they
- 1:50:10told me. If they told me there was a
- 1:50:12gallery in the summer I would fucking start cranking crazy on
- 1:50:15my shit. They should.
- 1:50:16Do another one because I feel like.
- 1:50:18Well, Simba. Yeah, I mean the gallery, no one
- 1:50:21knows what's going on this year yet.
- 1:50:22Well, you might know, but none of us know what's going on this
- 1:50:24year. So like me.
- 1:50:26Here it is. We're speaking it into
- 1:50:28existence. It's literally right here.
- 1:50:30I. Thought they posted all the
- 1:50:31special stages, did they? Yeah, they did.
- 1:50:33Oh, so they're doing, they're doing another final bout like.
- 1:50:35Damn it. Oh wait, they did.
- 1:50:36I think they posted like end of August.
- 1:50:39Oh, so they they released it like right before the other one
- 1:50:42even started because I. I looked on their final, their
- 1:50:46Instagram. I'm like final pulp prep.
- 1:50:47I'm like already. Yeah, like.
- 1:50:49What you like? Just got home.
- 1:50:52Damn, I'm late again. I.
- 1:50:54Don't know, the gallery would be sick.
- 1:50:56I I just want my car to be done, that's all.
- 1:50:57I. Want it is done?
- 1:50:59Oh, you mean like repaint? I'm going.
- 1:51:00To paint it, I'm going to make it nice.
- 1:51:02I need to go get the wing back. I need to go do this, do that,
- 1:51:04do this, do that. I should go check on James if
- 1:51:07he's James. If you have that wing, let me
- 1:51:10know. I dropped he came here the other
- 1:51:13week to Polish it. I dropped it off with LSP
- 1:51:15polishing. If you're in the tri-state area
- 1:51:17or if you're in Pennsylvania and need anything polished, go to
- 1:51:21James. What if you're Amish and you
- 1:51:22have like an Amish like little cartoon?
- 1:51:24Imagine a fucking fully polished Chrome Chrome Amish wagon.
- 1:51:31This shit would be sick. Dude, I don't think that goes
- 1:51:33any against any of their beliefs or anything like that.
- 1:51:35It's not like it's technology. It just be shiny.
- 1:51:37Yeah, you're right. Well, it's also wood.
- 1:51:40Well. I don't know if they can like.
- 1:51:43Polish up the reins or. Something Do they believe in
- 1:51:45metal yet? Have they gotten to that
- 1:51:47technology? Dude, I'm not fucking.
- 1:51:49There's like the different types like.
- 1:51:51What is it? Mormon, No.
- 1:51:53No, no, no, no. That's something, that's
- 1:51:55something else. That's.
- 1:51:56That's but they're also. Yeah, but what is a Mennon?
- 1:52:00What? Oh, Mennonite or something like.
- 1:52:04Where you can use electricity and other stuff and then others
- 1:52:07are like purists like. Straight up nothing.
- 1:52:10Nothing. Imagine just making rules up and
- 1:52:13you get all these people to follow, no?
- 1:52:14No, no, no, that's crazy. There's this, there's this
- 1:52:17documentary on Netflix about Mormons, and that's why I know
- 1:52:20they're not. Let's hear about it.
- 1:52:21What did you? What did you learn?
- 1:52:23Well, I learned about a scam in the Mormons.
- 1:52:26OK, in the Mormon community with John?
- 1:52:33John the Baptist. No, that's I honestly I don't
- 1:52:37even know if it's John. I think it is John, but somebody
- 1:52:39named John. Just normal cult shit like sold
- 1:52:43a lot of the documents and he said.
- 1:52:45Normal cult shit. That like the fucking he sold
- 1:52:48like a bunch of the documents that were from the origination
- 1:52:53of like the Mormon tradition. And then like supposedly that
- 1:52:57was a big no no because they were four.
- 1:52:59Like some were allegedly forged and then you get paid for it,
- 1:53:03but then you're selling it. So it's like.
- 1:53:04How how long is something like How long is something like a
- 1:53:08cult before it becomes? Like I also don't know.
- 1:53:11I also don't know if that was accurate from what the
- 1:53:15documentary was, but fuck do I know.
- 1:53:17I'm just some Joe Schmo. Like in 100 years is Scientology
- 1:53:20going to be like a legitimate thing?
- 1:53:22I don't know, I'm not a really that documentary.
- 1:53:26I think it was like a cult thing.
- 1:53:27Oh yes, did you ever? See it where they had like a hit
- 1:53:31list? I think we heard about this last
- 1:53:33time we. Went whoa, I do not remember
- 1:53:34that. So there was like this, I think
- 1:53:36it's on YouTube or you can search it.
- 1:53:38It was like this cult or clan and they had a hit list on
- 1:53:42people in town during the listed like the mayor and all these
- 1:53:45other people. Who had?
- 1:53:46I saw it was a cult that was there.
- 1:53:49I ask everyone that when you go to Shawno again, they're like.
- 1:53:52In the town like in town. They're like, there's just one
- 1:53:54Rd. They're like don't go down it.
- 1:53:56We heard that for years. And they're like, we're like,
- 1:53:58why? Like you go down it, someone's
- 1:54:00going to chase you down and shoot you.
- 1:54:02We're like, what? And they're like, where is it?
- 1:54:06It's like kind of tucked away away from the track, but you're
- 1:54:10like, what the fuck? Holy shit, maybe I went down
- 1:54:12that road before. And they were like, hey brother.
- 1:54:15I'm white, so it's. OK, but.
- 1:54:17Yo I will say when when we go there with everyone and I'm
- 1:54:20usually the only white person when we go into a store they are
- 1:54:23staring at everyone that I go with like they are aliens.
- 1:54:26Yeah, but you get used to that shit.
- 1:54:27Remember they were looking at Princess like she was a a
- 1:54:29fucking like animal. I'm like, what is wrong with the
- 1:54:33people here? And then I'm like, oh, they
- 1:54:33don't even like, there's just white people out here, like.
- 1:54:36I just like I feel. A lot of white people I don't
- 1:54:38know about. There's other people out there,
- 1:54:40but I'm just saying like. There's probably just going to
- 1:54:42be low key the one that got us cancelled.
- 1:54:44But it is what? It is what it is.
- 1:54:46It's just reality. But I'm saying we got, it's not
- 1:54:48really that you got to, you got to think like, no, you might,
- 1:54:53yeah, you might be the first Filipino person that that person
- 1:54:57is. Actually, yeah, literally that's
- 1:54:58how it felt. I was like wow.
- 1:54:59They or like maybe they're just not used to people who aren't
- 1:55:03from there going through there. Like you just got to look at
- 1:55:05them, look at that situation, not look at them, but look at
- 1:55:08that situation as like it's a new day for them too.
- 1:55:12You also got to think, though, like how many people are there
- 1:55:14for final bout? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:55:16Insane. Yeah, they're.
- 1:55:17Probably like a lot of different colored people come in.
- 1:55:20No, it's not. Probably not even that.
- 1:55:22I'm telling you. They're just to me, when I
- 1:55:23talked to, when I talked to anybody, you know me, I was
- 1:55:26talking to everybody around there and shit like that.
- 1:55:28It's like they're just. Normal people, they love it
- 1:55:31though, yeah. Most of them, I'm sure some
- 1:55:34people don't because it's like, fuck, we had this quiet town and
- 1:55:37now it's like loud. Now it's a takeover.
- 1:55:39So you could understand that and then you can also understand the
- 1:55:41people that are happy that it brings business.
- 1:55:43Yo remember when we went to the? The fair.
- 1:55:45The fair was sick, yeah. Yeah, I've never been there.
- 1:55:48Oh my God, it was dope. You need to go.
- 1:55:50It was dope, they all rode some rides, me and my roommate I got
- 1:55:53so just like not having it on the ride so thankfully we stayed
- 1:55:57off. First thing we did when we when
- 1:55:58we went in there. I don't know what this is.
- 1:56:00I don't know if it's like a competition or what, but there's
- 1:56:02like cows and like horses and they're all in a barn smells
- 1:56:06like straight fucking trash. You go in there and and we're
- 1:56:11from fucking here so we don't know what the fuck is going on
- 1:56:14like and you too, you're from Chicago area so like.
- 1:56:17I know they do what dirt track racing like sort.
- 1:56:20Of yeah, we we missed it. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:56:23That shit is sick. That was.
- 1:56:25But we. Saw that dude?
- 1:56:26Whatever they were doing there was so dude, it's like another
- 1:56:29world for us. I'm just like what?
- 1:56:30The fuck? But the fair, the fair, they
- 1:56:32were like, it's, it's, there's a, it's just a County Fair.
- 1:56:36So they were like judging the pigs and like judging.
- 1:56:39Like people bring their pigs there and they're like, oh, you
- 1:56:41got to judge my pig. I'm like how do you judge it
- 1:56:43bro? Remember when Princess Malcolm's
- 1:56:45fiance was so excited and happy to be around the pigs?
- 1:56:49And then we got to the end and there's like a little board
- 1:56:52about where the pigs went and like how they use them or
- 1:56:55whatever. And then a.
- 1:56:56Princess starts to fucking cry. I was like, OK, some of these,
- 1:57:02some of these animals. Are going to be like Oh my God
- 1:57:04no. I couldn't wait to get the fuck
- 1:57:08out of that room. That shit smelled terrible.
- 1:57:10I like experiencing new shit so I was just walking around trying
- 1:57:13to take everything in. Well.
- 1:57:14You're trying to be a farmer. Yeah, I was just ranching.
- 1:57:17That's a good hat for you guys there.
- 1:57:19Fucking. Malcolm was enjoying it, I
- 1:57:22think, right? It's a nice place.
- 1:57:23I love. I love stuff like that.
- 1:57:25Yeah. See, everyone was real having
- 1:57:27mad fun, even me, until we got to the back concert area and
- 1:57:31there was an 80s cover band and everyone was like, let's go
- 1:57:34because everyone's just looking at us.
- 1:57:35I was like, damn, OK. The rides were cool.
- 1:57:38I thought we were going to die, you guys.
- 1:57:39Been to the casino in Toronto? Dude I wanted to do that too but
- 1:57:44no. One no, I didn't even know
- 1:57:45about. That there's a casino.
- 1:57:46Yeah. How fucking weird is that?
- 1:57:49Did you go in there? So like, back in the day when we
- 1:57:52were like, damn, where do we stay?
- 1:57:53Because there's like, no hotel rooms.
- 1:57:55So I'm like, casino, OK, We'll stay there.
- 1:57:58Yeah. It's like old school.
- 1:57:59You can still smoke inside. Oh damn it.
- 1:58:03Yeah, I guess we're gonna know we're going next time.
- 1:58:05Dude, I think Oh no, no, no, there's a bowling alley.
- 1:58:09No, no. Special stage E like Summit has
- 1:58:13a casino right by it as well, because I think that's where me
- 1:58:16and Dan were trying to meet up, OK, because when he went to
- 1:58:20special stage EI think he was in that area for something we were
- 1:58:24trying to meet up at the casino because.
- 1:58:25There's Did you do any special stages or go to any?
- 1:58:28I didn't last year. I my team's kind of.
- 1:58:31Yeah, you're in Central. Yeah.
- 1:58:33Yeah, so it makes sense. They're all busy with their
- 1:58:36lives, like their jobs are crazy and you know, their wives.
- 1:58:40So I get it, life. Yeah, life is lifing right now.
- 1:58:46Yeah, it seems that way with everyone.
- 1:58:48I mean, they still have their cars.
- 1:58:49I've been driving with my other boys too.
- 1:58:51So it's been, it's been fun, yeah.
- 1:58:53This summer is going to be a fun one, I think.
- 1:58:55I think so too. But not in terms of like, I feel
- 1:59:00like last season everyone was so geared up about just driving a
- 1:59:04lot and getting C time that this year.
- 1:59:05Everyone. You definitely were.
- 1:59:06Kind of wants to chill. Yeah, that, but that's.
- 1:59:09But every year I've been always C time.
- 1:59:12Yeah, Yeah. But you're saying what now this
- 1:59:15year, you're thinking you're going to just be more about that
- 1:59:18event Looks fun. Let's go to that.
- 1:59:20That's exactly what I'm going to do, yeah, because I'm not going
- 1:59:22to try to make the car anything for final.
- 1:59:24Bout watch first comp first comp comes up he's yo, I'm gonna
- 1:59:27fucking tear this shit up Yeah yeah, that's going to happen.
- 1:59:31Here's what's the problem. I'm going to paint the car and
- 1:59:35then you're and until I'm driving it and it gets one like,
- 1:59:40then I'm not going to want to drive it.
- 1:59:41No, that's good, though. It's good to.
- 1:59:43Have the complete. Really.
- 1:59:45Like you want to paint it and the like, whether it's crack
- 1:59:48bumper or I get hit, I won't fix it till the end of the year.
- 1:59:53Yeah, yeah. That's that's how it should be.
- 1:59:55I'm like, make it look pretty and I'll thrash.
- 1:59:57On it every every year it should be.
- 1:59:58That's fine. Yeah, that's, that's how it.
- 2:00:00Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but it's, it's going to
- 2:00:04feel nice to have because you're going to paint your car nice.
- 2:00:07I don't know, because now you're painting.
- 2:00:08But are you keeping it blue? No.
- 2:00:10Oh boy. Secret color.
- 2:00:11Yeah, he's going to hate it. Oh no.
- 2:00:14How far are we in? We're a couple hours in.
- 2:00:17But remember how I wanted to do that teal?
- 2:00:19I'm going to do that teal still, but I'm going to like pump it up
- 2:00:23a bunch and now it's it's going to be like like masiora color.
- 2:00:28Do you know what that is? Like that doesn't sound that
- 2:00:30bad, I just hope you can get that paint color right.
- 2:00:34Well, that's because that shit. Could come out looking terrible.
- 2:00:36It's going to look like something.
- 2:00:38Yeah, I'm always tested on something. 1st that's why I'm
- 2:00:41like I'm going to test it on mine and if it comes out test.
- 2:00:44It on a panel, a different panel or something the.
- 2:00:46Whole car. The gun's already out, the
- 2:00:49paint's already mixed. He can do a sample bit though.
- 2:00:54No, he's committed. He's going.
- 2:00:56To do it, I'm just going to do it.
- 2:00:58I'm like, I got this fancy new paint gun where it will like the
- 2:01:02metallics are actually going to spread nice instead of me having
- 2:01:05to be like, oh it looks bad they got to go like next one.
- 2:01:11But I'm so excited. But what I'm saying is you're,
- 2:01:13you're going to care about how the car looks, which is nice.
- 2:01:16I'm. Scared it's going to ruin me.
- 2:01:18I don't think it will. I'm scared.
- 2:01:19No, I did that every year to my car and it didn't ruin me.
- 2:01:22You just, you felt that way for like a little bit and then you
- 2:01:24hit one thing and then you're good when.
- 2:01:26I met Frankie, he had like that. Back left of the BN bumper, all
- 2:01:32duct tape. Back left all duct tape, silver
- 2:01:34duct tape, all of them fully. Trash.
- 2:01:39The front bumper. Is right.
- 2:01:41Always catches the corner, Yeah. Ribs.
- 2:01:44Your car is really. Low, that's the corner all duct
- 2:01:47tape. There's a video of me on my
- 2:01:49older YouTube channel of me going Faction Motorsports duct
- 2:01:52tape mafia. Look at this, because Brendan's
- 2:01:55car had white. Yeah, the white one right there
- 2:01:57in that photo. That one in the corner had the
- 2:02:00full front bumper, like the full bottom of it all white duct
- 2:02:04tape. Yeah, and Frankie's had silver
- 2:02:06duct tape I'd put. Like that was a thing though,
- 2:02:09and everyone had that tape. That's a drifting as a crime.
- 2:02:12Oh God no, I'd put. Cardboard under it.
- 2:02:14I would make it with the cardboard and then I'd put tape
- 2:02:17on top of it as paint. Yeah, yeah, it.
- 2:02:19Worked out like from 20 feet away.
- 2:02:23Like if you, you could tell my front bumper right there.
- 2:02:25That's that's duct tape, God. I don't want mine to.
- 2:02:27See how the front of the bumper is is gone because it it's
- 2:02:30scraped away? I hated that shit dude.
- 2:02:33I'm scared. The thinnest part of that
- 2:02:35bumper? And that's, and that's the best
- 2:02:37part of the, the BN sports though, how it, how it, it goes
- 2:02:40down and then it has that other angle.
- 2:02:43So when that's gone, it's just like, oh, you have a EUR kit
- 2:02:45now. That's literally what it looked
- 2:02:48like. Yeah, I guess I never really
- 2:02:50noticed. So I try to build that with duct
- 2:02:51tape if it was gone. I'm scared.
- 2:02:55I just know that it's going to suck when I'm driving and then
- 2:02:57I'm having a great day. And then that middle because on
- 2:03:00the ISS bumper right now it has that little, that little thing
- 2:03:04that goes in like that once that.
- 2:03:07But aren't you doing 1819 or some crazy?
- 2:03:10Shit doesn't bring the front up. Yeah, Will. 18 in the back.
- 2:03:14No 1819 in the back. Yeah, 1819.
- 2:03:16Yeah, you have. Eighteens already in the front.
- 2:03:19Oh yeah, OK. No, it's I If you try to put
- 2:03:23this under it in the front, it will be like that.
- 2:03:26You're going to paint and go to mid pond.
- 2:03:28Yeah, my buddy. My buddy has Diego just built
- 2:03:33like a really sick booth. Hey, Diego, when the event's
- 2:03:37done, you know it'd be really sick.
- 2:03:39What have you painted my? Car are you?
- 2:03:41Are you going to wait till after?
- 2:03:43That no, I'm going to make sure it's.
- 2:03:45OK. Especially because now Josh is
- 2:03:47going to lend me his nice trailer too.
- 2:03:48Not that yours isn't nice, but I could.
- 2:03:51With Josh's trailer, you can keep literally every piece of
- 2:03:54arrow on and just go. Yeah, I mean, I do too, but.
- 2:03:58Your your trailer is you. Need the race?
- 2:04:00Ramps no, but your trailer is the lowest by far.
- 2:04:04But I think that little lip where the Meet the Ramp meets
- 2:04:09would scoop the back bumper and just RIP it off.
- 2:04:11No, you. Don't think so.
- 2:04:13No, but I think I did. I think I did take my front
- 2:04:17bumper off though when I would load it on no matter.
- 2:04:19What doesn't matter? I use OEM little.
- 2:04:22Yeah. Getting on with full arrows is
- 2:04:25like one of the smallest flexes, but it is satisfying.
- 2:04:29It's a big flex, Oh my. God, if the car's low, yeah.
- 2:04:31Yeah, dude, it's so good. But then you see the one dude
- 2:04:35who has like the air down trailer and you're like, you
- 2:04:39fucking. I want one of those Japanese
- 2:04:41trailers so bad that. The tow trucks.
- 2:04:43Where the bed like tilts down completely full.
- 2:04:46Gap and comes down, they just have those over there like it's
- 2:04:49not a big deal. We got tow trucks here too.
- 2:04:52No, no, no, no, no, not where the bed comes off and then sits
- 2:04:55on the ground I guess. I'm surprised no one's really
- 2:04:57imported. Those they do, they do.
- 2:04:59Now I think they do, but it's like, I don't really want to buy
- 2:05:02one because where am I going to get parts for it?
- 2:05:03You know what I mean? So I'm like, I like the idea of
- 2:05:06it, but. Isn't it just an Isuzu?
- 2:05:09Yeah, but Isuzu parts? Yeah, terrible.
- 2:05:12Expensive, are they? So that's like my realm, like
- 2:05:16we'll do medium and heavy. Duty, yes, OK.
- 2:05:17So that's what we used to have for delivery trucks, pads and
- 2:05:21rotors and a caliper, $1000. Yep, we're never owning one of
- 2:05:29those. No, I mean I would.
- 2:05:30Have I would own one for like local stuff, but like if we were
- 2:05:34going across the country, I'm not taking that.
- 2:05:36Pads and rotors local. You're burning them.
- 2:05:38You're burning. Them no, but I mean.
- 2:05:40Like if. We were going to E town or a car
- 2:05:42event or something local. You'd Wick that thing out
- 2:05:44because it's it's pretty, it's pretty sick, you know what I
- 2:05:46mean? But and maybe even like
- 2:05:48Connecticut or something like whatever, but like not taking
- 2:05:52that shit across. I don't think I could do the
- 2:05:54regular clamp like driving. Yeah, that too.
- 2:05:57You have a regular cab, you don't have anywhere to put
- 2:05:59anything like. Oh like the the where the
- 2:06:03drivers? I'm pretty sure they're all like
- 2:06:04that, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's a double cab or.
- 2:06:06Something. Oh wait, are you saying it's
- 2:06:07small? Yeah, it's just one seat.
- 2:06:10Where's the other seat? No, I'm saying it's like a
- 2:06:12bench. One bench seat.
- 2:06:13Oh, OK, so there's at least another one.
- 2:06:15Yeah, but like, if you go into an event, it's like you got to
- 2:06:17bring shit, you know? It's got to go all back, all
- 2:06:19back there. Yeah.
- 2:06:21I think that's another cool thing about Josh's trailer, is
- 2:06:25that Zach, as Steve made like that tire rack for him.
- 2:06:28Yeah, I came in handy the first mid pond trip, which if I was
- 2:06:32going to use your trailer, it would kind of, yeah, be asked
- 2:06:35because you got to keep the tires in the truck.
- 2:06:38Yeah. And then when you're done.
- 2:06:40I definitely need definitely need to make that for mine.
- 2:06:43What's up dude? Zach's.
- 2:06:45That need for Josh was sick. But what sucks is when you're
- 2:06:48done going there isn't the problem.
- 2:06:50When you're done, all of that tire smells pretty decently
- 2:06:54burned. And then you put it back in the
- 2:06:56truck and you gotta. Drive.
- 2:06:57Driving for hours and that shit is just in there and you're just
- 2:07:01thinking about your whole weekend again yeah just sad,
- 2:07:04depressed and you go home they. Take our tires at club Fr.
- 2:07:07What the guys that change? Our tires that's.
- 2:07:11So it's like, I think it's like 5 bucks.
- 2:07:15That's a good deal. 100 percent 1000 that's that's what Frank,
- 2:07:18you charged me here now I'm just kidding.
- 2:07:20It's like what? Do we charge your 2445450?
- 2:07:24Yeah, $5. That's amazing.
- 2:07:26Dude to not have to take all your recorded.
- 2:07:29Yeah, at any time they make you bring them, they you're bringing
- 2:07:33them. And if you don't bring them?
- 2:07:34Hector's going to shoot. You, somebody's going to find.
- 2:07:36You. They will find.
- 2:07:37Stab you before you leave. And dude, Hector's jacked now.
- 2:07:41You're not fucking getting past Hector Heck.
- 2:07:45Heck, but as far as you coming down here for like an event or
- 2:07:48something, I would What I tell everyone is I'm like, yeah, a
- 2:07:52private day with the east coaster of school would be fun,
- 2:07:55but you guys need to go to a club loose event.
- 2:07:57So if you could, I would for. Like that experience?
- 2:07:59But if you could pick an event where it's like a Saturday and
- 2:08:02then the next day we talked to Chris and we're like, can we do
- 2:08:04this? And he's like, yeah, boom,
- 2:08:06perfect. Usually though the Saturday and
- 2:08:09it's usually always a Saturday, Sunday.
- 2:08:11Not always. Oh, maybe.
- 2:08:12Now, what's an event? Are you talking just like
- 2:08:14regular birthdays? It's usually always like a
- 2:08:16Saturday, Sunday now something, something moves.
- 2:08:19But they still had like no you're right, they might just be
- 2:08:23doing 2 days now. I'm just still waiting for
- 2:08:26faction and friends. Yeah, I mean, there's that too.
- 2:08:30That was a year and a half ago, dude.
- 2:08:32Faction and friends, did you know that you are the only
- 2:08:36reason why you're not living the life you want to live?
- 2:08:40Come on, son. Joe Rogan said that.
- 2:08:42No, that's true. Yeah, it is faction and.
- 2:08:44Friends, I'm living the life I want to live now.
- 2:08:46I'm living it too. That's why I'm like, oh shit,
- 2:08:49hell yeah. I mean, I'm not rich or anything
- 2:08:52but. Yeah, but you, I mean, I don't
- 2:08:54want to be rich. I want to have enough money to
- 2:08:55do what I want to do. Would you, are you feeling OK?
- 2:08:59You you feel good with? Yeah, I feel like it's.
- 2:09:03Which I don't have still. Just for the record.
- 2:09:04Yeah, I. We're all always working, but I
- 2:09:08feel like the other day what something that was said was
- 2:09:12somebody was really depressed in a group chat, so obviously
- 2:09:14you're going to shit on them. Wow.
- 2:09:16No, I'm just kidding. Was that me?
- 2:09:17That no, no, no, no, no. But Diego said something like,
- 2:09:23I'm trying to remember what he said because it was actually
- 2:09:25really good. It was like, we get to we get to
- 2:09:30drive these cars that aren't even necessary in our lives and
- 2:09:34we get to thrash them around with our friends from time to
- 2:09:36time and we get to hang out in different countries and
- 2:09:40different states talking about this shit.
- 2:09:42This is. Coming from the guy that went to
- 2:09:43Japan like 3 times. Last year.
- 2:09:44So he's like, sometimes, yeah, sometimes life could get pretty
- 2:09:47shitty, but we got it pretty nice.
- 2:09:50Yeah. So.
- 2:09:51Well, yeah, yeah. Sometimes easy to forget
- 2:09:53because. You're Malcolm Say that to each
- 2:09:54other all the time. You're just suffering all the
- 2:09:56time and I forget about joy. What?
- 2:09:58What do you say? What I turn to you and I go
- 2:09:59we're we're pretty lucky. We're because if we if something
- 2:10:02pisses us off or something, we're just like.
- 2:10:04Oh yeah, it's like, wait, what are we complaining for?
- 2:10:06Yeah. What are we that's?
- 2:10:07That's I guess what it what I was getting like it's pretty
- 2:10:10easy to complain when you forget to enjoy it I guess.
- 2:10:14Yeah. Or think about.
- 2:10:16How you don't realize how much you complain until you go into a
- 2:10:18different environment where things are way more stressful
- 2:10:21and you're like, wow, life was really good.
- 2:10:24You know what I mean? Like, it's all about
- 2:10:25perspective. So it's, it's hard to stay
- 2:10:28grounded though. And like, remember that?
- 2:10:30Definitely. So yeah, it's one of those life
- 2:10:33things, you know, God. Damn that got depressing.
- 2:10:38I mean, I'm not trying to. It's not depressing, not.
- 2:10:40Depressing, yeah, but like, it's real.
- 2:10:41Like, it's like, I don't know, don't forget to enjoy, Yeah.
- 2:10:46I'd say I'm pretty content in life right now, yeah.
- 2:10:49I I've we've made a lot of friends like could you say that
- 2:10:52you've during drifting your entire drifting career just.
- 2:10:55Like what other, you know, big thing can you say, like I've met
- 2:10:58so many Internet people. Yeah, in one spot, yeah.
- 2:11:01Or just connected through social?
- 2:11:03Media. Yeah, it's insane.
- 2:11:05Or the same hobby? Yeah.
- 2:11:06One thing I want to talk about before we get to questions, I
- 2:11:09want to know what it was like when Final Bout was starting for
- 2:11:14you. Like what was it?
- 2:11:14What was it like over there? Because you were already
- 2:11:16drifting? So I staffed the first couple.
- 2:11:19OK but like that was surreal as shit.
- 2:11:23Yeah, because you have like everyone coming from the country
- 2:11:25to your home track. Yeah.
- 2:11:26Because like I was running the start line for the first one and
- 2:11:29I'm like seeing the crowd. Like I would like to compare the
- 2:11:33crowd to that one, to what the current is now because it was
- 2:11:37still big. But like, I think after the
- 2:11:40first one, it was just like instantaneous, like we got to
- 2:11:43get a, we got to get a team, we got to drive, and then there was
- 2:11:46just like it started blowing up. Yeah, what is what is like the
- 2:11:49numbers compared to the first or the second one?
- 2:11:52That I would that's, I have no idea.
- 2:11:55I can say like, as in crowd, like you weren't having people,
- 2:11:58you know, sit on the dirt. Bound.
- 2:11:59Yeah, I remember that. It was just like all the
- 2:12:02spectators, yeah, filled pretty much the fence line.
- 2:12:04And now it's just like all over I.
- 2:12:06Remember there'd be like 110 over there and.
- 2:12:10Like 2 chairs. Like yeah, the opposite side of
- 2:12:13the grandstand. Already.
- 2:12:13But then this past year, it was. First dude, that was like first
- 2:12:15animal style with hurt. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:12:18So like the second? I think or the third.
- 2:12:19No, that was the first one. Too.
- 2:12:20Oh, that was the first one. Oh, yeah.
- 2:12:22When he the cars weren't matching, it was no, Yeah, yeah,
- 2:12:25yeah. OK, I remember.
- 2:12:26That shit was sick. I don't even know what we're
- 2:12:28talking about because I first, first final that when when we
- 2:12:31get to talking about that, that's when Frankie tells me
- 2:12:34about using a minivan to go watch it and shit like that.
- 2:12:39Oh, the first one about. You when these guys drove 2 just
- 2:12:42like sitting on the start line on top of the hill, it's like.
- 2:12:45Damn. That's sick.
- 2:12:47Dude, that, that event was, that was fun, man, Yeah.
- 2:12:50That was a good, that was a good one.
- 2:12:51The final about twosies. Yeah, final about two.
- 2:12:54I, I, I don't know. I mean, I know it's because I
- 2:12:56was there, but I feel like final about two was one of the one of
- 2:12:59the better ones, maybe 3 32. Oh no 7 was fun of shit.
- 2:13:05I think 2:00 because like you knew what to expect and it was
- 2:13:08just getting bigger and bigger and like they didn't do special
- 2:13:11stages. For the first final bout to me
- 2:13:14felt more like, I don't know how to say this but it was like the
- 2:13:19first one felt like everyone on the forums finally met each
- 2:13:23other. Yeah, 100%.
- 2:13:25Yeah, like it was like, OK, now everyone knows each other.
- 2:13:28Next year's going to be fucking crazy, like, and that's kind of
- 2:13:32how it went. The pits were insane.
- 2:13:35Yeah, I bet. Dude.
- 2:13:36Yeah, yeah. But yeah.
- 2:13:38But but the second, like the second, the continuation of the
- 2:13:43event being the crazy one makes so much sense.
- 2:13:45Because the first one was kind of like the yeah, you know,
- 2:13:47because. Let's say I went to the first
- 2:13:48one and I forgot. Like, like, let's say I had no
- 2:13:52food, no cooler, no beverages, no nothing in there, and it's
- 2:13:55sunny as hell. Next year I'm going to go, yeah,
- 2:13:58yeah, I'm going to come here prepared with XY and Z.
- 2:14:01Yeah, and you didn't know one? Thoughts drifting and you're
- 2:14:04fucking. Yeah, and now, now the venue is
- 2:14:07amazing, dude. The food that they got there,
- 2:14:09all the. Time so good.
- 2:14:11Yeah, but everything's good. At US Air.
- 2:14:13Yeah, yeah. Dude, like the ticket lines, I'm
- 2:14:15like taking a bus. I'm like parking everywhere.
- 2:14:17Yeah, like that wasn't a thing, the first one.
- 2:14:20I didn't even know people were taking buses.
- 2:14:22I didn't know either until you just said that.
- 2:14:24People were taking buses. I don't I don't want to say like
- 2:14:26the most recent, but like US Air has a lot I.
- 2:14:30Believe it's still there. That's.
- 2:14:31Like down the street, like if you were going towards like,
- 2:14:33Walmart. Yeah.
- 2:14:35And it just says US Air. And they were like shuttling
- 2:14:37people. I thought you meant somebody
- 2:14:39took a Greyhound to fucking US Air from because you know what,
- 2:14:48that wouldn't even really be that shocking because they
- 2:14:50picked up Nick on a highway on the way to US Air.
- 2:14:54That's still cool though, like you get to the event you just
- 2:14:56see that semi rolling in with all the cars on.
- 2:14:58It Oh my God dude braking when they had that truck, that shit
- 2:15:03was sick. I'd say even like all the black
- 2:15:05moon dudes too. Like all the same color.
- 2:15:07Yeah. Chrome wheels just all on one
- 2:15:09trailer. Insane.
- 2:15:11How do we get that feeling in like Aura back?
- 2:15:14I think it's still there. I just got to finish my fucking
- 2:15:17car. It's just like, no, it's, it's
- 2:15:20not like that. Yeah, I mean different 1.
- 2:15:23I don't think it's like that either.
- 2:15:24I think once an event gets to a certain size, you're not going
- 2:15:26to have like the same exact thing.
- 2:15:29I don't like when an event turns into a fucking wallet contest.
- 2:15:32Yeah. That's not what I'm looking for.
- 2:15:35I think it's just it's too big. Final Bash is too big like the
- 2:15:38it's. It's crazy though, you think
- 2:15:39about they've had charm, the sexy Knights guys, dude, you
- 2:15:43know Kazuya. I bought who snacks.
- 2:15:45I bought those. Stickers.
- 2:15:46Those stickers are like they're in my drawer.
- 2:15:48Same with the one from Splash. I have though.
- 2:15:51Like when I get to see those people, it's like hard for me to
- 2:15:54think that like, yo, I watch you while you're drifting across the
- 2:15:59world and now you're here. So here's $25 for a sticker.
- 2:16:02I don't even mind. I don't even mind.
- 2:16:04I don't even mind tape. Like because some dude was
- 2:16:07complaining about the price and I was like, yo, this is
- 2:16:11literally like the guy. And like, he's probably just
- 2:16:13trying to make a little bit of side money to bring home.
- 2:16:16Like, fuck you, Pam. It's not even that bad like.
- 2:16:19Complaining about the price. And he gave me and Johnny like a
- 2:16:21sticker, too. Like a little Toto House
- 2:16:23sticker. Oh yeah.
- 2:16:24Fire, Yeah. Final bout's cool, man.
- 2:16:27Yeah. I was just wondering like what
- 2:16:28it what it felt like to have everyone coming to your town
- 2:16:31basically. Dude, it was insane.
- 2:16:33And, and that's the other thing too, everyone, the events
- 2:16:36leading up to final bout, the nights leading up to final bout
- 2:16:38are my favorite part. I would say so.
- 2:16:41Yeah, the pre meet, all that, the cruise, yeah.
- 2:16:44That shit does not feel. That does not feel real.
- 2:16:48It doesn't feel real. Yeah, it doesn't even feel like
- 2:16:50we went to that a couple months ago.
- 2:16:51Yeah. And when me and Frankie went
- 2:16:53like that was our third second one going third one going
- 2:16:59together. And when so far every time we go
- 2:17:03it just I experience something new like we got to go to the pre
- 2:17:06meet this time and extreme crap. It was crazy.
- 2:17:10We didn't get to do that last time.
- 2:17:12And now this year, I don't know what it was, but it just looked
- 2:17:15like a fucking tutor movie. Like it looked like an.
- 2:17:19It looked like a like the. Intro to it like a Fast and
- 2:17:22Furious. Yeah.
- 2:17:22Quite. Literally too fast, too furious.
- 2:17:25They're at Tejas or whatever. That's what it looked like at
- 2:17:27extreme graphics. It was.
- 2:17:29Really. It looks like that at the next
- 2:17:30spot too, honestly. Because the rope.
- 2:17:33My spot, did I? Oh yeah.
- 2:17:34Oh my God. Yeah.
- 2:17:35But that didn't even feel remotely real to me.
- 2:17:38So then I was like. You're like, I'm just living in.
- 2:17:41What the fuck are we? And then we.
- 2:17:42Just kidnapped Jet Davis and just bring him back.
- 2:17:44Yeah, we get that. Just seeing people I watch on
- 2:17:47the Internet. I really don't really watch a
- 2:17:48lot of YouTube channels, but I saw Prism Mike there.
- 2:17:52Yep, and like. Yeah, we met him.
- 2:17:53I watch his YouTube channel, so like for me, I was like fucking
- 2:17:57nerding out. I'm like, yo, I watch you
- 2:17:58literally like every other day. It's like really weird.
- 2:18:01Like, I don't know. Yeah, it's fun man.
- 2:18:04Fucking nari yari widows. Nari Yaro.
- 2:18:07Alexi Alexi, first guy we ran into off the fucking faction.
- 2:18:11Band that was so weird. Yeah, I'm like Flexi.
- 2:18:13We step out and we see him and he's, yeah, immediately talking
- 2:18:17to him. Like, what the fuck?
- 2:18:18We had like a 10 minute what would have been a podcast, and
- 2:18:20we were supposed to do a podcast, but it just didn't line
- 2:18:22up. Yeah, We just had way too many
- 2:18:24things going on. But that was fun.
- 2:18:26And like, honestly, what the fuck?
- 2:18:28I mean, I kept saying it this final that was one of the most
- 2:18:30fun ones you've ever had. You went, did you?
- 2:18:32You went this year too. I didn't fuck.
- 2:18:34Wow. I.
- 2:18:36Shouldn't have said that, I know.
- 2:18:37Please tell me there's another one.
- 2:18:38I'm going to get cancelled real. Fast.
- 2:18:40It's another wedding. No.
- 2:18:42OK. You just didn't go.
- 2:18:44I think I got in the mindset. I was just, we were talking
- 2:18:46earlier, right? I'm just like, damn, like this
- 2:18:48is your home track and like you just want to drive and it's like
- 2:18:52hard to spectate and sometimes, you know.
- 2:18:55Because do you not have the the team like together right now?
- 2:18:59Like what's the situation? They still want to drive.
- 2:19:01It's just like losing interest or yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,
- 2:19:04life, Yeah. You know, vacations, whatever.
- 2:19:06I mean, I get what you're saying you don't want to go because I
- 2:19:09mean, I don't want to go to some local events either because of
- 2:19:12that. I'm like, I'm just going to want
- 2:19:13to drive, but then but then it's fucking final bout so you.
- 2:19:17Know when you get the bug, you're like, you haven't driven
- 2:19:19in a while and then you just you're lap after lap and you're
- 2:19:22like, damn, you get that itch back, yeah.
- 2:19:25And then it's just like when you don't do it, you're like slowly
- 2:19:28fades. But I'm like, it's still there.
- 2:19:30It's always going to be there. Now you're your.
- 2:19:31Cool guy zone where you're just like quiet because you're in
- 2:19:34your head, just playing that scene in your mind of driving
- 2:19:38the whole time that you're there.
- 2:19:40Did you go to any of the pre meets though or anything?
- 2:19:42I did. OK.
- 2:19:43Well, that was the car, yeah. That was the important part to
- 2:19:45me. I mean that that was that was
- 2:19:47fun. Until I can fucking feel what
- 2:19:51that roller coaster business is like, I am going to keep chasing
- 2:19:56that high. Yeah, that's fair.
- 2:19:57Still haven't driven there, but I've driven, ridden in cars
- 2:20:00there, and when I ride in cars I'm just pretending like I'm
- 2:20:05driving the whole time. Will come out for after final
- 2:20:08bout. Dude, you and Chris.
- 2:20:10Chris Yeah, yo. Chris.
- 2:20:13Needs to go out there yo. I am not.
- 2:20:17Who do you have more faith in, me or Chris I?
- 2:20:19Was about to. That's a good question.
- 2:20:24Because Chris has to fix his shit.
- 2:20:25Like a lot of it. I told Chris before when you
- 2:20:27weren't in the room, I was like, Chris just tends to wait till
- 2:20:30the motor blows up and he's like, no, no, no, not on the
- 2:20:32240. I'm like or not the Sylvia I'm.
- 2:20:34Like it will have to be like a more critical failure, like it
- 2:20:38will have to audibly going. Sometimes he'll just show up in
- 2:20:41that car to work and I'm like, isn't that motor knocking?
- 2:20:44That's what he just said it was. Knocking.
- 2:20:46Was it knocking? Does it sound like it's
- 2:20:47knocking? I never hear it, but I mean I'm
- 2:20:49sure I've heard it at least once.
- 2:20:50Well, he explained to me, he said he was watching the knock
- 2:20:52sensor and it was just like. Wait, like does he have a
- 2:20:56piracy? Yeah, he does so.
- 2:20:58If you see that little if that's.
- 2:20:59Moving. He should not be driving the car
- 2:21:01because the next the next thing that happens is the rod goes
- 2:21:03through the block. Ask me how I know.
- 2:21:05Well, kid, Kid did the same thing, Yeah.
- 2:21:08I don't, I don't know. I mean, Chris, Chris has said it
- 2:21:10to us before. He's like, he's like, I'm just
- 2:21:13waiting for some room. I'm like, bro, hopefully there's
- 2:21:15never room in here. So you just have to do it.
- 2:21:17You know what I mean? Like you just we just got to
- 2:21:18pull the motor out one Saturday and then.
- 2:21:21Yeah, but you're going to, you're telling him that now, and
- 2:21:23then he's going to do it. Then you're going to scold them.
- 2:21:25No, he's. Dead Malcolm?
- 2:21:28No, He told him to do it already.
- 2:21:29Yeah. He's like, he's like, I'm just
- 2:21:31waiting for some more. I'm like, there's not going to
- 2:21:33be room. That's the whole point of a
- 2:21:34shop. Like we need to keep cars in
- 2:21:36here, like it needs to be moving.
- 2:21:38Like you just have to pick a weekend, pull the engine out and
- 2:21:40then take the car back home and sit it there, you know?
- 2:21:45He'll do it, just leave it behind the shop or.
- 2:21:47Fun. He's a little preoccupied right
- 2:21:48now, you know what I mean? Boo loving.
- 2:21:50Yeah, God damn. Questions, Malcolm.
- 2:21:53I don't have my. I hope we can get that Sylvia
- 2:21:55going though, just let you know and Chris is a good driver.
- 2:21:58What are you mad? I'm.
- 2:22:00Just asking where your phone is. Chill, little foot.
- 2:22:03Little Steppa can't hear you coming, little foot.
- 2:22:07You got all of them out in one shot, little foot.
- 2:22:11Little feet don't kick me, might stab me.
- 2:22:16Why are you so bad about the feet?
- 2:22:20Because he's got small feet. That chill size 12?
- 2:22:24Right. Dominic under score Goldstar
- 2:22:27says hi bud. Wait, what?
- 2:22:29Dom Oh, OK. Oh, dumb.
- 2:22:31Dumb. Yeah, just start out with the
- 2:22:32Hello yo. I listened to his podcast with
- 2:22:35Palmer because he had a snippet. They got me with a snippet.
- 2:22:38I saw that. Yeah, dude, that car was really
- 2:22:41built from. Dude that's How I Met Dom too
- 2:22:43with that slam burglars forum. Oh, really?
- 2:22:46Slam. What?
- 2:22:47Slam burglars, that's what it was.
- 2:22:49Called slow cars. That sounds.
- 2:22:51See, that's a Is this a forum? Yeah.
- 2:22:54OK, yeah, Fire. Fire their their whole thing
- 2:22:57with Gold Star. That was the coolest shit for
- 2:22:59me. I I think it was.
- 2:23:01Did they go to the first one too?
- 2:23:02Yes, they were at the first one. That's where they had the big
- 2:23:04semi. Yeah, so the second one, didn't
- 2:23:07they drive there or some shit? Something drove.
- 2:23:09No, Dom fixed his car I think and then drove the whole way.
- 2:23:12Yeah, that shit was sick. I was like, that's epic.
- 2:23:16That my shit is not driving that far.
- 2:23:18I don't. Know.
- 2:23:20And their trip is way longer than ours.
- 2:23:22Where are they from? California, it's like 2/3 and
- 2:23:26we're like 1/3. I remember the first one, it was
- 2:23:28Corbin. He worked, I don't know if it
- 2:23:31was at some like performance shop or something.
- 2:23:33His boss is like, hey if you get your CDL I'll let you take the
- 2:23:35truck if I remember that. Correctly.
- 2:23:37Oh wow. So he got it and he's like,
- 2:23:39yeah, you and your butts can take the truck and they all
- 2:23:41loaded into the truck and trailer.
- 2:23:44That's fucking awesome. I just remember the braking
- 2:23:46truck too. That shit was.
- 2:23:47That was wild. I love that.
- 2:23:49I don't think my car is going to fucking go on any of those,
- 2:23:51dude. That'd be sick though.
- 2:23:53But the economy is Yeah, yeah, back then.
- 2:23:58I mean, if we knew someone that like had something like that.
- 2:24:01I don't think we know. We don't, but like if we did.
- 2:24:03We're not going to fucking do that dude.
- 2:24:04If we're if buy a if by an arrow shot we ever go to final bout
- 2:24:11anytime in our lives, it's literally just probably going to
- 2:24:15be hey, let's get to final bout. That's it.
- 2:24:18You're going to be driving there.
- 2:24:19I'm going to drive. I got my boy Wild Bill.
- 2:24:22Wild Bill. He's got the setup, we can fit
- 2:24:253S chassis on it perfect. 3. No, he's got a three car
- 2:24:29trailer. Full arrow every time, on and
- 2:24:32off. Damn.
- 2:24:33Wow, that's a nice trailer. What it that's a spaceship.
- 2:24:37Yeah, how do you even? You must have some crazy.
- 2:24:39Ramp systems just like race. Ramps.
- 2:24:41Just the long ones with the extensions.
- 2:24:42OK, ramps right up. Damn.
- 2:24:46What else you got, Malc? Tucker under score, Heint says.
- 2:24:49What's your favorite wheel slash kit combo you had on your S13?
- 2:24:56Good question. That's easy.
- 2:24:57Oh, Blitz. Oh, OK, really, I was, I was
- 2:25:00like. So even though you sold them.
- 2:25:02Yeah, it was good. You miss them.
- 2:25:05You. You.
- 2:25:06I don't. But that's your favorite wheel
- 2:25:08though. It was favorite, but SP1 I'm
- 2:25:11going back to what I started with.
- 2:25:13I do like a 5 spoke like in the the first photo we saw.
- 2:25:17Yeah, it just looks very. I don't know, it's just like
- 2:25:21what you the little toy car you would wheel around it would
- 2:25:23have. I'm just going for like the
- 2:25:25simple but like good still styling.
- 2:25:27Yeah, Hell yeah. What else Mount?
- 2:25:32Illmatic dot BS says bad luck Bodo origin story.
- 2:25:35What is that? Is that Matt?
- 2:25:38Bad luck guano. So they made stickers as a joke
- 2:25:42back in the day so that like every event I went to snapped or
- 2:25:47separated axles. That makes sense.
- 2:25:49Like every. Event no matter what it was like
- 2:25:52I'd blow a power steering hose, blow an axle and it was like
- 2:25:57notorious for like 2 years and then I like switched the wheel
- 2:26:01setup all that and then like it went away but it was like
- 2:26:05there's more to it. There's just like problem after,
- 2:26:08problem after with. Axles.
- 2:26:10Driveline. Driveline.
- 2:26:11Yeah, like I blew up a drive shaft.
- 2:26:13Like the carrier bearing on one. Do you explode it?
- 2:26:16Do you guys break a lot of stuff?
- 2:26:18Like does everyone else break a lot of stuff there or that?
- 2:26:20No really break stuff. I don't feel like it's as common
- 2:26:22anymore. OK, as weird as it sounds,
- 2:26:24because we're like. Because I feel.
- 2:26:26Like we're giving you the formulas.
- 2:26:27Hey, run these outers, run. These outers, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:26:30I feel like I used to carry bins of that stuff going to a track.
- 2:26:34Yeah, like a vent. And I don't do that anymore.
- 2:26:36You think? It was because it was getting a
- 2:26:37lot of stress from something it shouldn't have been.
- 2:26:41Well, I think the way they're making parts now is like way
- 2:26:43better. Oh, just generally.
- 2:26:45Like like I still run stock axles.
- 2:26:48Oh yeah, like open. Yeah, even with your power level
- 2:26:51and everything, yeah. OEM axle even if it's used.
- 2:26:56That's what I wrote. Dude, I remember I tried to run
- 2:26:58axle spacers to like help a little bit with being low.
- 2:27:03Yeah, I should just flew off the car and fucking destroyed
- 2:27:06everything. Hairpin.
- 2:27:07I was on the hairpin. Boom, fucking explosion.
- 2:27:10I was like, what the fuck was that?
- 2:27:11And there's just I, I get back in the pit and one axle's off
- 2:27:15and the space, it's like all the hardware just sucked and shit
- 2:27:17just came apart. Axle spacers are important like
- 2:27:20I had on I had an S2000 and that if you lower it, it's super
- 2:27:25sensitive to vibration from the axles from it being like this.
- 2:27:30So it's like pulling it out and I put axle spacer and it works
- 2:27:34great right after, perfectly fine.
- 2:27:37And that's the reason why like I feel like it's tearing you.
- 2:27:39It's like. Yeah, in theory it should have
- 2:27:40helped, but I guess it was just the hardware.
- 2:27:42And then once that happened, once, I was like, I'm.
- 2:27:43Not I'm still like stock rear knuckle, all that.
- 2:27:46The only knuckle I change is upfront.
- 2:27:48Yeah. And what do you run?
- 2:27:49P knuckle? Yeah.
- 2:27:52Yeah, I, I had PBM drop knuckles in the rear, and I still feel
- 2:27:56like they're OK. But Josh, I know Josh got rid of
- 2:27:58them and all this, but his car's a totally different setup than
- 2:28:01it used to be. But yeah, I definitely had
- 2:28:03problems with axles. But your your car's low too, so
- 2:28:06it makes sense because. That's when I was 1819.
- 2:28:10Yeah, and that was years older or?
- 2:28:13Oh, so 19, yeah. Stagger at the time.
- 2:28:16Nineteens are definitely heavier.
- 2:28:18I it's just more rotational man, like God just breaking them.
- 2:28:23What else Mount? Oh, this is a very good
- 2:28:26question. Oh.
- 2:28:27Oh. Cecilia 22796 says sexy Red or
- 2:28:31Glorilla. Is that your lady?
- 2:28:35Yeah. So it is OK.
- 2:28:36Thank God. It's like, Oh my God, who's
- 2:28:38going to ask this question? Might as well go glow.
- 2:28:41Yeah, Glow. Wait, you like her?
- 2:28:43Too right, Melan? No, I like both of them.
- 2:28:47Nah, Glorilla, I feel like is a wholesome spirit bird for spirit
- 2:28:50down there. Yeah.
- 2:28:52Yeah, I feel like she's a nice person.
- 2:28:53Dude, that's what I'm bumping in the car when I'm driving.
- 2:28:55Really that's I told Frankie, there's this, there's this,
- 2:28:59there's this glow real song that I think that we should do like
- 2:29:01our video to like when the cars get together and they look D boy
- 2:29:05as fuck. Like which song wannabe OK they
- 2:29:09in love with glow? You know.
- 2:29:12Just fucking I told. I told.
- 2:29:14This is what I I called Frankie. First off, First off, he called
- 2:29:18me and the first thing he says is, yeah, we need to get some
- 2:29:19strippers. I'm like what?
- 2:29:22He said. We're going to need.
- 2:29:23To there's this video idea I have and then that's how the
- 2:29:26phone call started. He's like, yo, we need to do
- 2:29:29something so far left field. Everybody thinks that you just
- 2:29:33are done with this. No new age that Nah.
- 2:29:37Watch this. I think when your car's done,
- 2:29:39Frankie, internet's going to go wild.
- 2:29:41I don't know why everyone says that.
- 2:29:42I don't feel that way at all. I.
- 2:29:44Said I said Wannabe by Glorilla just.
- 2:29:49That this makes those that makes me not want to finish my car
- 2:29:51'cause I'm scared. I'm like what?
- 2:29:53At all dude, I'm talking like maybe in the front of the shop
- 2:29:56right here Frankie car is just like that, the cameras panning
- 2:29:59and for no reason no reason whatsoever.
- 2:30:02There's just somebody shaking ass while to that song.
- 2:30:07Just just. Kind of funny though, it's just.
- 2:30:09Like a it would be good. It's just like a panning shot
- 2:30:12and it's Frankie's car is right there.
- 2:30:14It's fire, it's dope, but then all of a sudden just unnecessary
- 2:30:18yams just going nuts and you're like, what the fuck?
- 2:30:21This is a faction video. But yeah.
- 2:30:24You've had this thought up for a minute, haven't you?
- 2:30:26I. Literally called 3 days.
- 2:30:28Yeah, I've called him three separate times, probably about
- 2:30:30the same idea. I'm like dude, just unhinged.
- 2:30:34I was just like, that shit just makes me worried though when
- 2:30:36people say that because I'm like, fuck, I'm going to get
- 2:30:37this whole car together. I'm going to drive it for a week
- 2:30:39and then it's going to get Rod knocked and I'm going to be like
- 2:30:42and all this motherfuckers going to be like God damn it.
- 2:30:46Yo, that is literally what I'm afraid.
- 2:30:48Of like then I'm going to. Be.
- 2:30:50Like, knock on wood. Please.
- 2:30:52Yeah. I mean, swear to.
- 2:30:54God. There's obviously going to be
- 2:30:55some problems, like it's not that bad, but there's going to
- 2:30:58be some problems, I'm sure but. I have faith.
- 2:31:01Yeah, we'll work them out. Dude OK, you're looking at glass
- 2:31:06half empty shit. You need to look.
- 2:31:08At glass half full shit. Hey, if I could just get in the
- 2:31:13car started up and just drive home, that'd be great, Stock.
- 2:31:151J. No.
- 2:31:17Sr. I'm sorry.
- 2:31:19Stock Sr. 2 was awesome for that.
- 2:31:22His motor bill's going to be really good.
- 2:31:25Yeah, no, it should be good. I.
- 2:31:26Just get scared that when you do a lot of stuff, it's like more
- 2:31:30stuff. Yeah, you're right.
- 2:31:31You know, it's like, it's like now you built your car to this
- 2:31:34level, now you have to fix it to that.
- 2:31:36You're right, you're not wrong. That's why I'm like, you know,
- 2:31:40we'll see. Instead of like us down here,
- 2:31:42it's like. But I mean his car is fucking
- 2:31:45built to to the nines and you don't have any problems.
- 2:31:48There there's a certain level I was there's a certain level of
- 2:31:52care that Josh, you have given that over the years that I feel
- 2:31:58like I'm good. I believe in that.
- 2:32:00I believe in that like if you treat it just that little bit of
- 2:32:04extra care like maybe not going. Yeah.
- 2:32:08See, that's the problem. I'm driving is, is not.
- 2:32:10You guys are mean with the. Car.
- 2:32:12I'm mean with the clutch. Yeah, dude, dude, I clutch kick
- 2:32:15a lot. Yeah, it's, it's like an
- 2:32:17American thing and it's not good.
- 2:32:18No no no, I feel like the clutch kicking is OK.
- 2:32:22Not for the transmission. It depends on the clutch.
- 2:32:25Yes and no. I don't know.
- 2:32:26The Japanese drivers don't do that, Don't do the shit we do
- 2:32:29with the clutch. The clutch needs to not be like
- 2:32:33some crazy grabby. The thing is, you get all the
- 2:32:36SRS from Japan, they all have fucking OS guyking shit in there
- 2:32:39and they're all. That's what I run single plate.
- 2:32:41Love it. That's.
- 2:32:41What? I ran full trans blue
- 2:32:43immediately. I'm like, all right.
- 2:32:44C32. No, this is back.
- 2:32:47That was the last time my trans blew.
- 2:32:49I did the Super D event in California.
- 2:32:53I put that clutch in here before we load it up and I drove it
- 2:32:56down the block and I, I remember I pulled it back in.
- 2:32:59I said this fucking transmission is going to blow up because it
- 2:33:01just felt crazy now like the the clutch.
- 2:33:04Everyone's been doing those like little dampeners.
- 2:33:07Yeah, really interesting. To see how that, yeah.
- 2:33:10I was like provided by Chase Bays.
- 2:33:12If you need them, they got. Them, you know, it's funny
- 2:33:14though, because we always RIP those out of the car.
- 2:33:16You know, they're always like, oh, you got to yeah, the company
- 2:33:18get rid of all this shit and then just put a line.
- 2:33:21I mean comfort valve was for a different reason.
- 2:33:24Is it completely different? Different.
- 2:33:25I've never driven a car with one, so I don't really know what
- 2:33:27that's going to feel like. Dude I had a 240, maybe a two of
- 2:33:33them came with a comfort valve on it.
- 2:33:36It's like on the frame rail, it's just.
- 2:33:39Did you know anything with? I mean you could push the.
- 2:33:41Clutch down with like a pinky. It's it's very, very light, OK?
- 2:33:45It's very squishy. So it makes it softer.
- 2:33:47It, it, it's what I think it's doing is it's amplifying the
- 2:33:51amount of pressure that you're giving it so you don't.
- 2:33:54Have to like a booster. Yeah, so you don't have to give
- 2:33:57as much 'cause when I remember what it looks like, it's like
- 2:34:01like a little like. Thingy just a box with a line
- 2:34:03going. It's weird, yeah, yeah.
- 2:34:05But whether or not that's what it does, I don't know.
- 2:34:08Dude I will do anything to put my stock trans back in.
- 2:34:10I fucking hate the Z 32 like I don't want that thing so if if
- 2:34:14I. Have it in mind.
- 2:34:15Really. Still.
- 2:34:17The the value. No, not the value.
- 2:34:19You have AZ 32 I thought. You meant you had a stock?
- 2:34:21Trans it just took like getting used to him like.
- 2:34:23I hate it, but what what what shifter assembly?
- 2:34:27Do you have it's just the Mazerch 1?
- 2:34:28So like Jake's car has Z32 but he's got the old like excessive.
- 2:34:33Me too. Where his?
- 2:34:34Swivels. Hate it.
- 2:34:36Oh Oh my God, that's what happens to mine.
- 2:34:40It's swivels. It's fucking.
- 2:34:41No mine mine no when you when you go in the 1st gear you can
- 2:34:44feel the lever going like this. Yeah, that's what mine does.
- 2:34:49You've said mine. No, your shit is crazy.
- 2:34:51No, no, your shit. Is like a fucking I have a dildo
- 2:34:54hanging I have. Some like so that the the shaft
- 2:34:57of the shifter comes out. Like his shit is loose.
- 2:34:59And then there's like another arm that goes like this and then
- 2:35:02that's where the shifter. Is like every worn out every So
- 2:35:05that is 154. It's like going like this.
- 2:35:08What's not normal go over no. Well, because the the thing
- 2:35:12pivots on this shaft. Yeah, that's weird.
- 2:35:14So it's bringing it forward. And then when you turn it then
- 2:35:17it will do that. Yeah, it probably feels a
- 2:35:19similar way it. Has like some sort of play in it
- 2:35:21I. Hate it, it's horrible.
- 2:35:23Every time I drive it it's like. Yep.
- 2:35:26Well yours you have the normal shifter, I have the shitty 1 so
- 2:35:28I have that problem. Then I have the shifter
- 2:35:31vibrating problem where it makes a fucking crazy noise when you
- 2:35:34drive. It doesn't do that.
- 2:35:36Yours makes this weird. Rattle.
- 2:35:38Yeah, like it's like this crazy noise.
- 2:35:40I I'm, it's like I have to change the shifter, I guess I
- 2:35:44don't know that's making me not want to put my car back together
- 2:35:46because that shit, that noise was so fucking annoying.
- 2:35:48You get. Used to it you just those are
- 2:35:50those kinds of little nuances about a vehicle that only you as
- 2:35:54a. And then?
- 2:35:55Can get used to. And then, well, you, you can
- 2:35:59attest this tell me if I'm crazy or not when I drive with that.
- 2:36:02So apparently it's what the same gear ratios, right?
- 2:36:06My car feels like it feels like the first gear is longer.
- 2:36:12It is, but also cruising. I catch myself in fourth gear
- 2:36:15more than fifth. What?
- 2:36:17Yeah. So did they just lie about this
- 2:36:18shit like because? It does not feel the same.
- 2:36:21Just like street driving, I'll do like 5th, whatever.
- 2:36:23And I'm like, you know, I'll slow down because I'm behind a
- 2:36:25car or something. And I'm like back and forth and
- 2:36:27I'm like, I don't even notice it because it's like it's not high
- 2:36:31in RPM. Can you pull up and it?
- 2:36:33Feels is the other thing. It feels like my car's heavier.
- 2:36:37I haven't noticed that. OK, well that good, because that
- 2:36:40feeling is fucking terrible. Like knowing that you put more
- 2:36:43weight in the car is just like this weird feeling that I hate,
- 2:36:46but yeah. I mean going from Sr. trans to
- 2:36:50Z32 it's like. Fuck.
- 2:36:52Sr. trans is so perfect other than it blowing up every fucking
- 2:36:55other event. Malcolm is looking these up
- 2:36:57because I'm curious, because there's I didn't know that they.
- 2:37:00Apparently they were. Supposedly the same rear wheel
- 2:37:08drive driftworks. That page right there will have
- 2:37:11it. Yeah, this is what we're
- 2:37:14looking. For 5 speed right there. 5 speed
- 2:37:16and then copy that link as. Well, and then that first one on
- 2:37:19the other side, no, go down there.
- 2:37:21OK, Yeah. Now go to the other side, right
- 2:37:23side, Yep. And then the first one probably.
- 2:37:28What the fuck? 3.2 so. 191 sounds like shorter
- 2:37:33three 4th is 1/5 is .7 it's. Almost the same it's.
- 2:37:37Quite literally, minimally. Different.
- 2:37:40Different. Now what you got to do is get.
- 2:37:43Reverse though. Reverse.
- 2:37:44So terrastic. Yeah, hella fast.
- 2:37:47No wonder I'd be good. I'd be quick with those.
- 2:37:49Fucking fucking get the hell out of there every time I spin out.
- 2:37:53No fucking way dude. CDO 9 though. 1st gear is what
- 2:37:57really fucking feels different to me though, and it and it's
- 2:37:59not that different Malcolm. I can agree though about feeling
- 2:38:02like it's longer. It's so weird.
- 2:38:04Can you keep the right page open and then the left page?
- 2:38:07Can you do CDO 9? CDs OH CDO 9.
- 2:38:12Gear ratios, yeah. I'm curious how this is going to
- 2:38:15be there. CD's nuts.
- 2:38:16Yeah, this one, yeah, sure. Yeah, you got extra gear, loser.
- 2:38:23Yeah, well, technology 0378 to 2:32 one. 378.
- 2:38:31Bam, you're 1 to one at fifth. Yeah.
- 2:38:33What? I never knew that, huh?
- 2:38:40Now we know. My 4th is your third.
- 2:38:47Damn. So if you're entering and 3rd,
- 2:38:49just know I'm going to be behind your 4th.
- 2:38:53I got to do the extra. T56.
- 2:38:56I just think of terminators when I see that.
- 2:38:58T56. I I see those letters and it
- 2:39:01makes me think of my fucking internal fucking slave cylinder
- 2:39:06bull crap. That's what I had on my car.
- 2:39:09I have. ACD he swapped that transient
- 2:39:11like five times. No way.
- 2:39:12And I'm wishing I wish it was 5. It was more than.
- 2:39:15Five. It was like 19 times.
- 2:39:17Yeah, God no. I did the CD swap 19 times.
- 2:39:20It was like the first thing I'd done mechanically in years and I
- 2:39:23was getting back into it after being like in a relationship for
- 2:39:27man long. And then yeah, 17 times.
- 2:39:32But that T56 slave T 56 uses like this slave cylinder that
- 2:39:36goes on the input shaft and it like pushes out fucking leaked
- 2:39:42like 8 times at least. So then I had to pull the that's
- 2:39:45like #1 in the procedure, remove transmission.
- 2:39:51I don't. Think that's why I'll get away
- 2:39:54from Sr. like even Z stuff 'cause it bolts right up
- 2:39:57external slave. Yeah, I would try to stay that
- 2:40:00way like if as long as I could. Did you think about doing ACD
- 2:40:0509? Not at all.
- 2:40:06Don't. Just because everyone was like,
- 2:40:09you're going to have to raise your car.
- 2:40:10Yep. And then sits lower and I'm like
- 2:40:11some reasons. I was like no.
- 2:40:13Your car is way too low for that.
- 2:40:15Once once someone said it has the same ratios as as Sr. trans.
- 2:40:21I was like, oh, that's it. What the 32?
- 2:40:23Yeah, because I I didn't. I didn't want my car to feel
- 2:40:26different. I just wanted it to be stronger.
- 2:40:29That was it. Yeah.
- 2:40:30But you want to like, yeah, the stronger thing.
- 2:40:33That's it. Yeah, I didn't want it to feel
- 2:40:34different, but then here we are. It fucking feels.
- 2:40:35Different. So like in yours, Josh, if you
- 2:40:37put a CD, yeah, you might bang it around a little bit, but
- 2:40:40you'll never break it, I don't think.
- 2:40:42Yeah, but that. I heard like even the road noise
- 2:40:45even just cruising it is. It's so loud, it's like a bag of
- 2:40:49marbles. I.
- 2:40:50Don't have that with mine. Why?
- 2:40:51Because they built the newer cars, they just have more
- 2:40:53single. Mass flywheel versus dual Mac.
- 2:40:56Everyone that has it, well, like Nick with his IS and a few other
- 2:40:59people, they're like, dude, it's so fucking loud.
- 2:41:00I'm like I drove. Him.
- 2:41:01Nick has ACD. Yeah, I couldn't get that back
- 2:41:05into third. Yeah, no, it's bad.
- 2:41:08And oh, the sync. But you couldn't.
- 2:41:10Like I had to let it warm up. Like I was picking it up from
- 2:41:12our friend Jesus house for an alignment and I'm like, yeah,
- 2:41:16what you bring back to my house, you can pick it up there.
- 2:41:18Like dude, I can't get into fucking third.
- 2:41:21Yeah. That's the I had an issue with
- 2:41:25my second one, like second CD, and I swear to you it wouldn't
- 2:41:30go into 5th that I know it's not the same thing, but it wouldn't
- 2:41:33go into 5th with this unless it had the good trans fluid GL5
- 2:41:38yeah, red line. We sell that.
- 2:41:39I think it was more cost effective to go Z versus like CD
- 2:41:44because it's like bell housing versus like the Maz works kit.
- 2:41:46Like I think all said and done it was like with the kits like
- 2:41:49the swap gets like 1200 bucks. It was back then, I don't know
- 2:41:53what the fuck it is now, and the transmissions were not a lot of
- 2:41:55money either. I think now it's more expensive.
- 2:42:00I think was you can still buy it new for like 2300 bucks.
- 2:42:05Z32. I think so.
- 2:42:06Oh. I didn't even know that.
- 2:42:08That's pretty cool. I had to go to like some, I
- 2:42:11don't know if it's like this by you but like Z people.
- 2:42:13Z guy around? Here and you know, you go to his
- 2:42:15shop and he just got 300 fucking Z30.
- 2:42:18Twos. Broken and you're like, oh, OK,
- 2:42:20I just need this and he's like I got this too.
- 2:42:22I'm like I don't need any of your other fucking weird Z shit.
- 2:42:25I just need the transmission. I don't sell me like you're DIF
- 2:42:28and you're like I don't need any of this.
- 2:42:30He's like all right, well, if you need anything else, you know
- 2:42:32where to find it. I'm like OK, bye.
- 2:42:34I found AZ guy that was like that and it was like the
- 2:42:37weirdest experience I've ever bought dude.
- 2:42:40T28 wastegate all I needed the actuator and I went with Pat my
- 2:42:48roommate currently soon to be not goes.
- 2:42:52To the no. Not like that, not like that.
- 2:42:54He bought a house. Bitch fucking I go to his house.
- 2:42:59Never going to listen to this. I go to the dude's house and
- 2:43:01it's a gigantic horse stable. Yeah, it might be the same guy.
- 2:43:07Dude. OK, hold on, hold on, hold on,
- 2:43:08hold on. I'm going to describe how this
- 2:43:10went. No, it wasn't.
- 2:43:12It is it It definitely. Is there's only one spot No this
- 2:43:16guy had. A huge stable.
- 2:43:18And then I go in the. Barn.
- 2:43:19I'm like damn mad machining equipment a lot.
- 2:43:24A lot of machining equipment like lathes, this, that, and the
- 2:43:27third. Then you go in and there's an
- 2:43:29another garage with like a bunch of other Z's.
- 2:43:31Then you look in the back and then there's more Z's and then
- 2:43:34underneath that there's like a little bucket filled with T28
- 2:43:36actuators. And then he sold that to me.
- 2:43:39It was the, it was the weirdest buying experience I've ever had.
- 2:43:45And I think about it to this. Day no this guy.
- 2:43:47I went to was like it was in like Booton or some shit and it
- 2:43:50was like a gas station. A a gas station type repair
- 2:43:55shop. But it was all these like he
- 2:43:59only worked on Z30Z32 really and that was it.
- 2:44:03And I was like, damn, these people exist.
- 2:44:05Like, 'cause you never really see those cars around.
- 2:44:08Like, not as much anymore. Yeah, it's very rare.
- 2:44:11Which sucks 'cause there's a pretty car.
- 2:44:13The only time you see AZ 32 owner is.
- 2:44:15When he's emailing you saying. You know, you, you guys work on
- 2:44:17Z. 32 my shit hasn't been running for.
- 2:44:19Five years. I'm trying to think of that
- 2:44:21whole interaction again because I found that ad.
- 2:44:25Where was that place? Somewhere South Jersey because
- 2:44:27my roommate drove me there 'cause I've been to a place like
- 2:44:31that. Before it was a.
- 2:44:32Big A big building. I I guess you could say like a
- 2:44:36barn maybe and there was 2. 40s. Everywhere, like outside there
- 2:44:41was multiple two 40s. Obviously I went there before I.
- 2:44:44Would have known. If it was like all thirteens, it
- 2:44:46was all 30 twos and this guy had so many parts.
- 2:44:50Like so many parts that I was like, what do you do here?
- 2:44:53Are you just? Like the guy hoarder, Hoarder.
- 2:44:55Yeah, I'm like, I think I found the guy that posts every single
- 2:44:58part on eBay. I think the thing that.
- 2:45:01Was weird about the guy. That I'm talking about one I'm
- 2:45:06talking. Like end to end.
- 2:45:08It looked like he was repairing his E30 twos, like he had a
- 2:45:10paint booth, he had a Body Shop in in it, in the barn to the
- 2:45:14left of it all machine work. And the person I was dealing
- 2:45:17with was younger, so I'm going to assume maybe he got into the
- 2:45:21ZS and the machine shop was there.
- 2:45:24I don't know, one of the most weird interactions.
- 2:45:28And that was off of a Craigslist ad.
- 2:45:31Yeah, dude. Yeah, Craigslist was.
- 2:45:33That was a shit that was sketchy back on the day.
- 2:45:35I love Craigslist. I'll take Craigslist back.

- 2:52:00240. I mean like I.
- 2:52:02I wasn't into any of that. Shit, they didn't know.
- 2:52:03You know what I what I found out Option Magazine was originally
- 2:52:07that Z and Gran Turismo. There's AZ that like the option
- 2:52:12one, it had the logo on the hood and I always wondered what it
- 2:52:16was. Yeah, that was it.

- 2:54:53Be we didn't talk about drifting at all.
- 2:54:55Did we not? I mean, just a little bit, a
- 2:54:58little bit here and there, but I feel like we talked.
- 2:55:00More about Carl's high school experience than we did.
- 2:55:05Yeah. Remember, we found his car in a
- 2:55:06room. We were time travellers that
- 2:55:08episode. Yeah.
- 2:55:09So. But I mean, it was fun though
- 2:55:13I'm. Glad he I'm glad he was in the
- 2:55:14area. I'm also.
- 2:55:15Glad he hit me up because I would have never knew that he
- 2:55:17was in the area. Yeah, you caught him at the
- 2:55:19right time. He was about to leave and he's
- 2:55:21like, oh, you got your Instagram backs.
- 2:55:23And it sucks that we couldn't, you know?
- 2:55:24We, you know, we covered a lot. Health.
- 2:55:28Health. Oh.
- 2:55:29Yeah, because he was, you know, he scared me on a road to
- 2:55:32recovery kind. Of scared me with that so.
- 2:55:35He didn't have a drug problem, but like I'm saying, like, like
- 2:55:38he's changing his health for the better.
- 2:55:40Yeah. It's just scary because I'm
- 2:55:42like, am I? Going to have all.
- 2:55:43These problems or you never know, but it looks it sounds.
- 2:55:47Like it's a Filipino thing, you know what I mean?
- 2:55:50Definitely is. It definitely is.
- 2:55:53Eddie's laughing in the back. But that's how I say Filipino.
- 2:55:56Filipino. Filipino.
- 2:55:59All right. As far as what's going on in the
- 2:56:01shop lately, guys, not much going on over here.
- 2:56:04We're pretty slow. It's actually pretty bad.
- 2:56:06Help. No, but really, if you if you
- 2:56:10guys need your cars worked on it, now is the time.
- 2:56:12It's it's right before the season opener.
- 2:56:14I mean, every winter it feels like the Ice Age comes and we're
- 2:56:18about to die and yeah, it's it's bad.
- 2:56:20Things are bad here, right? Now SO and I and I would love to
- 2:56:24not. Talk about how broke we are
- 2:56:27every outro. Like I've thought about this.
- 2:56:29I was like, it'd be really nice if we didn't have to do that.
- 2:56:32But yeah, hey, we're just real. We're just real, unfortunately.
- 2:56:37And yeah, so. And this is our.
- 2:56:40Time to to advertise so we're. Going to have to do it here.
- 2:56:44But yeah, shops open. So if you guys need anything
- 2:56:47done to your cars, this month is probably, I would say this month
- 2:56:51is the best month to do that because if everything goes
- 2:56:54according to plan, like every other year, April is going to be
- 2:56:58April and May is going to be flooded with with work because
- 2:57:01everyone's like, oh shit, the drift season.
- 2:57:04Is here and I didn't. Do anything in my car yeah so if
- 2:57:07you guys need anything done in your cars, now would be the
- 2:57:09perfect time to contact us be a little proactive come in here
- 2:57:13early yeah be be a little proactive and that that brings
- 2:57:16me to my next subject if you guys need.
- 2:57:17Parts, especially arrow or over fenders we got.
- 2:57:20Fenders, we got a lot of fenders in stock and now would be the
- 2:57:23time to get that on your car so you can get it painted and
- 2:57:26you're good to go for the year. Hit us up.
- 2:57:29We're going to be putting up some inventory lists soon and if
- 2:57:34we don't have it right now, you're in luck because we should
- 2:57:37have a container of origin parts coming in the next two months.
- 2:57:42Maybe I'd say, I'd say two months, two to three months at
- 2:57:46most. Let's say two to three.
- 2:57:47Yeah. So you can get those pre-orders
- 2:57:49in. If you want to pre-order
- 2:57:50something, just shoot us an e-mail.
- 2:57:52If not, just order it on the website and leave an order note
- 2:57:55that says you are aware of the pre-order situation and we'll
- 2:57:58just process it just like that. But if you want to talk to us
- 2:58:01and get confirmation then just shoot us an e-mail sales of
- 2:58:03factionmotorsports.com and we'll go from there.
- 2:58:06We have a lot, we have almost one of everything from origin
- 2:58:10coming in. So I'm I'm pretty excited about
- 2:58:13that. It's going to be a big shipment,
- 2:58:16so get get some dibs now. Yeah, like.
- 2:58:20Frankie said if you. Have things in mind that you
- 2:58:23want to order? Hit us up and we'll see if we
- 2:58:25can get it for. You.
- 2:58:26We'll see if it's on that container.
- 2:58:27Most likely will be, but we do have some things in stock here.
- 2:58:30We have a whole bunch of fenders, fenders for almost
- 2:58:32every car. We have two Driftline V2 kits
- 2:58:36for the 86 slash BRZ. So if you are a fellow ZN 6
- 2:58:41driver and you need a kit, we got two of those.
- 2:58:44And also, we have 2180SX vented Type 2 hoods.
- 2:58:48Those are a very hot commodity. They won't be here for long, I
- 2:58:51can guarantee that. So if you need that, I know
- 2:58:53Jimmy Oakes is trying to steal one right now.
- 2:58:54So grab it from under him, pull the carpet.
- 2:58:57It's actually insane that we even have those.
- 2:58:59Still, because that's like. No one brings hoods in.
- 2:59:04Yeah, I guess we didn't. I don't think we shared that.
- 2:59:06Is it the economy? Is it the economy?
- 2:59:09I don't know. We'll.
- 2:59:10See, I don't know, is it the economy?
- 2:59:12It might be. No money?
- 2:59:13Tell us, Trump, how? Can we fix this solution?
- 2:59:15That's probably you can fix this.
- 2:59:17I was ordering some origin lab from faction.
- 2:59:19Motorsports. They're my favorite brand.
- 2:59:22I. Like them the best, the best
- 2:59:24China. All right, what else we got
- 2:59:28going? On here Oh yeah, in in shop sale
- 2:59:33we have 15% off alignments if you're local and your car.
- 2:59:36Little wonky right now. Got a little 2 step going on.
- 2:59:40Drive straight, little dog walk, yeah.
- 2:59:42Grab, walk, rear end, walking sideways.
- 2:59:45Yeah 15. Percent off alignments, guys, we
- 2:59:46don't really do this ever. So March is the alignment month
- 2:59:50here. So if you want to get those
- 2:59:51alignments in and you want to save some money, hit us up 15%
- 2:59:54off whatever the total is. And yeah, save some money and
- 2:59:58get your car ready for the season.
- 3:00:02Also, we have some new stuff on the website.
- 3:00:04As you guys know, we are an online retailer.
- 3:00:08Not many of you know, I feel, but Stance has D1 spec XR1 coil
- 3:00:13overs. They're a level above the
- 3:00:15already amazing XR1 coil overs. Yeah, we we just filmed a video
- 3:00:18on those. I don't know when that video is
- 3:00:20coming out, but yeah, I don't think anyone knows about the
- 3:00:23Stance. XR1D1 spec coils.
- 3:00:25So we just added all of them to the website and there's
- 3:00:28information in the descriptions. So if you guys want to check
- 3:00:31those out, they're obviously more expensive than the regular
- 3:00:33one. They're hand built, basically
- 3:00:35they're hand assembled in Chicago.
- 3:00:37They're valve there. Everything's custom.
- 3:00:40The rear shocks have a longer stroke, They have helper
- 3:00:43springs. There's just a bunch of stuff,
- 3:00:46the rear upper bearing assembly instead of the rubber isolator.
- 3:00:50There's like a bunch of upgrades on those things.
- 3:00:52So. So it can probably give you a
- 3:00:54completely different feel. It will give you a completely
- 3:00:56different feel. Yeah, the Front Street guys use
- 3:00:59these. Coil overs so if you need any
- 3:01:00more info just DM the. Shit out of them because they'll
- 3:01:05they'll tell you Josh and experience yeah, Josh has first

- 3:01:28Everything like that. They're they're pretty awesome.
- 3:01:31Those those coil over covers. It's probably honestly one of my
- 3:01:34favorite things that stance ever produced is those coil over
- 3:01:36covers because you could use that for anything.
- 3:01:39You know, you don't have to use it for stance coil overs either.
- 3:01:43But yeah, so if you order a set of coilovers, you're going to
- 3:01:45get those for free for the next two months.
