Transcript
- 0:00Welcome back everybody to another episode of the After
- 0:02Hours podcast. On today's episode we have local
- 0:07drift team Push. These guys are from Pennsylvania
- 0:10and the first time I saw them was at the twin drift event that
- 0:14ready set drift through last year.
- 0:16These guys were driving really, really well and the cars were
- 0:21looking pretty good too. And it was a couple of ZS.
- 0:23So we're, we're not used to ZS looking so good.
- 0:27So I, it really caught my attention.
- 0:30So we reached out to them recently and decided to have
- 0:33them on the podcast since they're so close to us.
- 0:35And yeah, it was a really fun time.
- 0:37These guys just got into drifting a couple years ago.
- 0:39So another fresh perspective on a drift team starting out.
- 0:46And there's a lot of Z information in this podcast, so
- 0:50I hope you guys enjoy it. All right guys, let's hear a
- 0:53word from our sponsors and then dive right into this episode.
- 0:56This podcast is sponsored by East Coast Drift School.
- 1:00East Coast Drift School is a driving school focused on
- 1:02learning the art of drifting, conveniently located at the
- 1:05greatest drifting facility in the United States, Raceway Park
- 1:08in Englishtown, NJ. Raceway Park currently has three
- 1:11tracks, so you will have a few options to choose from when
- 1:13setting up your lessons. Chris Knapp, who is part of the
- 1:16Raceway Park family, will be your teacher as he guides you
- 1:18through car setup and technique. If you are more of a seasoned
- 1:21driver, E Coaster School is also the place where you can get some
- 1:24extra seat time. Chris allows private track time
- 1:26with no instructing as well so that you can get some tests and
- 1:29tune runs in before that big event or competition you have
- 1:32coming up. Instead of spending the night
- 1:34dodging the police with your boys, consider signing up with E
- 1:36Coaster School the next time they release their schedule.
- 1:39Chris releases is scheduled on the 16th of every month through

- 1:43give them a follow and shoot over a direct message when you

- 1:49at East Coast Drift school. Chase Bays has been a household
- 1:52name in our industry for over 15 years, supplying us with tons of
- 1:55fluid power products such as power steering cooler kits, oil
- 1:59catch cans, engine oil coolers, hydraulic handbrake kits and of
- 2:03course their dual piston brake booster delete kits which fit a
- 2:07wide variety of vehicles. The core values of Chase Bays is
- 2:11function, simplicity, quality and aesthetic.
- 2:14All of their products are user friendly and easy to install
- 2:17while of course looking the part.
- 2:19The quality of their products has only increased over the
- 2:21years and now with Front Street Drift Club being a sponsored
- 2:24team of Chase Bays, you can guarantee the products are
- 2:27stress tested as well. I'm currently digging their
- 2:30compact intercooler sprayer reservoir kit.
- 2:32This kit includes a pump and pigtail to wire it up to any
- 2:35switch you want. I've been a big fan of sleek
- 2:37looking OEM style intercooler sprayers ever since Subaru had
- 2:40one on the STI and this kit provides you with what you need
- 2:44to get started. If you need any more info on any
- 2:47of their products, make sure to take a look at their product
- 2:49descriptions. They have some of the most
- 2:51detailed descriptions I've read with tons of information.

- 3:06This podcast is also sponsored by Automotive Specialty Wraps.
- 3:10Automotive Specialty Wraps is a company specializing in paint
- 3:13protection, film vehicle wraps, ceramic coatings, and window
- 3:16tinting located in Fairlawn, New Jersey.
- 3:19Owned and operated by car enthusiasts and Drifters, their
- 3:21technicians have over 10 years of experience in the industry.
- 3:24Ceramic coating is one of their specialties and is the service
- 3:27they offer that caught my eye first.
- 3:29In the 60s, NASA and the US military formulated a ceramic
- 3:33coating to be used on spacecraft and planes.
- 3:36This coating would be able to protect them from harsh
- 3:38conditions. Following that, in the early
- 3:412000s, ceramic coatings were revamped to be used in the
- 3:44automotive industry. These coatings give your cars
- 3:47paint extra protection while also making it shine.
- 3:50Wax only last for a couple of weeks at most, but ceramic
- 3:53coatings last for a year or longer.
- 3:55They perform a full 2 stage Polish to the car beforehand to
- 3:58make sure the vehicle is in perfect condition before
- 4:01applying the coating. This service can also be applied
- 4:04to wheels, which would be the best thing you can do to a new
- 4:06set of wheels you just picked up if you are looking to protect
- 4:08them for years to come. As mentioned, they also offer
- 4:11window tinting and paint protection film installations.
- 4:14Now everyone knows what window tinting is, but these guys offer
- 4:17carbon or ceramic tinting depending on your needs.
- 4:20Paint protection film or PPF is a great idea for those new
- 4:24vehicle owners that want to protect their paint before it
- 4:26gets chipped up driving down the highway.
- 4:29I always suggest having at least the front end done in PPF like
- 4:32the front bumper, fenders and hood.
- 4:35ASW is now offering mobile detailing and this is no basic
- 4:38car wash, it's more of a 2 hour spa session for your car using
- 4:41special soaps designed to extract toxins out of your
- 4:45paint. And the best part is they will
- 4:46come to your house, job or even our shop when your car is being
- 4:50serviced to get the wash done. From protecting your tow rigs
- 4:53exterior to full delivery installations on your drift car,
- 4:56they have you covered. You can contact them at
- 4:58automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure to mention our
- 5:01podcast. They are currently offering 10%
- 5:04off mobile washes and tinting services for our listeners.
- 5:07Limitless Auto Fab is a fabrication shop and retailer
- 5:10located in Illinois. They produce bash bars and catch
- 5:13cans for a bunch of popular models in the drifting
- 5:16community. We started selling their
- 5:17products earlier this year and have heard nothing but great
- 5:20things since. Limitless Bash bars are honestly
- 5:23the industry standard right now. Fabricated from inch and a half
- 5:25mild steel tubes, these bars are designed to take the impact of
- 5:29light collisions in order to avoid or minimize damage to your
- 5:32body or frame. My favorite part about these
- 5:34bash bars is that they are designed in a way that helps
- 5:36hold most aftermarket bumpers up at the correct height, unlike a
- 5:40lot of other aftermarket bars that require you to either Weld
- 5:42additional brackets on or install those big foam rubber
- 5:46pieces to raise the bumpers up to avoid bumper sag.
- 5:49This is a huge pet peeve of mine when installing bash bars at the
- 5:52shop, so I'm really glad about this feature.
- 5:56John, are the days of trying to keep your rusty rear factory
- 5:59crash bar because you are worried about bumper fitment
- 6:01issues with an aftermarket one? Their bars also come with
- 6:04jacking points and optional license plate brackets, so
- 6:07everything you need is right there from the start.
- 6:09Limitless Auto also sells catch cans for a handful of specific
- 6:13models. These cans are built in house
- 6:15and chassis specific. We have used these cans before
- 6:18in the shop with no issues and they look great as well.
- 6:21The guys over at Limitless are on social media as well at
- 6:24Limitless under score Auto under score Fab.
- 6:27So please make sure to check out their Instagram and give them a
- 6:29follow. They post photos of all the
- 6:31drift cards using their products from Front Street Drift Club to
- 6:34Animal Style. If you are in the market for a
- 6:37bash bar or catch can, make sure to check out their full product

- 9:17Look at that. He hates.
- 9:20Using it just like Jamie hates using his when when they.
- 9:23I don't even know what that guy looks.
- 9:24Like, yeah, you never see him because he never uses the
- 9:26camera. He's got like a little ponytail.
- 9:28Yeah, yeah. Oh.

- 9:32Yeah, that is not. Thank you guys for the Dunkin'
- 9:34Donuts. Appreciate it.
- 9:36How long? Have you guys been a team for?
- 9:39I was 23, I think we established.
- 9:41Well, so two seasons now. This is coming up on our third
- 9:44season driving together. Yeah, well, this guy's 19, so he
- 9:46must have been in it for like a week.
- 9:49Was first the first season you weren't driving with us, were
- 9:52you? You were just coming with Matt.
- 9:56Matt Yeah. Anytime you got to speak, just
- 9:57bring that mic over. I forgot to tell you guys that
- 9:59you guys can just bring that mic over and whatever.
- 10:01But yeah, of course we asked him to talk immediately.
- 10:03Yeah. Which one doesn't?
- 10:05Talk the most and it's Yasi, and now we're making him talk
- 10:08immediately. It's cool.
- 10:11Yeah, so the first season it was, well, originally I started
- 10:15out, we had another team member, it was me, Nate and Tyler
- 10:19dropping ZS. And then organically we met
- 10:23Matt. First event.
- 10:25I mean, if you want to take over because you originally met Matt,
- 10:28Yeah. So.
- 10:29Just aim that right. Yeah, so we like.
- 10:33Lance and I were like long time buddies.
- 10:35We grew up together like 7th grade up and we always like we
- 10:41had like bike crews. We were BMX guys in the BMX
- 10:44transition. Yeah, in the pipeline.
- 10:48But we got he got me and did a ride along in his Z and I was
- 10:52looking Mustang or Z and I chose AZ.
- 10:56Yeah, I was. Could you imagine what your life
- 10:59would have been? Terrible.
- 11:01You'd have to buy fucking. Like what?
- 11:03Is a yeah straight ax like you would have to buy?
- 11:06What size wheels are the shit? It's like 20 no that uses like
- 11:09normal wheels. I don't know.
- 11:10But they're like nineteens, and they're also 5 by 114.
- 11:13Yeah, like how much, how many that like just.
- 11:16Like crazy the. Cost to get a Mustang versus a
- 11:19cost to getting AZ up to par for just driving.
- 11:22I feel like Z you just hop in, you Weld the DIF and you're good
- 11:25to go Where? So a Mustang is more of a pain
- 11:27in the ass to well, what year were you looking at?
- 11:30I wanted like a 99 O 4 like that.
- 11:32Yeah, that's probably pretty. Shitty.
- 11:33Is that the one that Malcolm? Liked is that?
- 11:35The fox body looking one new edge, no.
- 11:37Is that what that gets called? The new edge like the SN95.
- 11:40The one that KBD makes a body. Yeah, yeah.
- 11:42Isn't that like the straight green?
- 11:43The green gosh is wait, the Chris fix one.
- 11:46Yes, it is the Chris fix. One.
- 11:49I do not like that. To now.
- 11:52I don't know. All I know is he went to E town
- 11:53at one point. That's all I know.
- 11:55I did see him randomly one day at E town I like.
- 11:57So much from that guy. Are you kidding?
- 11:59You told me that. Yeah, you, you watched his
- 12:01YouTube a lot, I think. I did watch.
- 12:03It was just entertaining to watch and like, not like I
- 12:05needed it. He was like a good guy to watch.
- 12:08Yeah, that's like, that's the guy that convinced me to do like
- 12:11side work. Yeah.
- 12:12Because he was like, he made it seem so easy.
- 12:14Yeah, I would bring people's cars in and I've kind of fucked
- 12:17them up and all that. You know he he was good with the
- 12:21production dude, you know how long that shit probably took.
- 12:24Dude, I know how long it takes for yeah, that.
- 12:26That's fuck that shit. That's all I'm saying.
- 12:29If we didn't have Eddie, we wouldn't have a YouTube account.
- 12:32Who does the media here? Because you, you guys.
- 12:35Oh yeah, I do a lot of like the Instagram Rios and stuff like
- 12:38that. OK, We all pretty much what we
- 12:40do. We're all on the account, like
- 12:41control of it, like we can all comment and answer questions and
- 12:44stuff, but Matt does like the video production side of the
- 12:48real. You look real.
- 12:49Thankful, yeah. That's actually a really good
- 12:52question because I'm sure there's like other teams out
- 12:54there that are probably like, what?
- 12:55How the fuck do we manage this shit like?
- 12:58All that real stuff, like even if you're on TikTok and stuff
- 13:01like that's a lot of work, you would think like coming up with
- 13:03stupid things to to upload, yeah, isn't that hard, right?
- 13:05But it kind of is like when you're trying to post every day,
- 13:09stuff like that. Yeah, even like twice a week
- 13:12there's still a lot of stuff to. That's basically what we have to
- 13:14do too. We have to make a schedule like,
- 13:15oh, you have to do this, this day that, this day that.
- 13:17Like you have to have a schedule to it because if you don't have
- 13:19that, you'll just forget and then before you know you're not
- 13:22posting anything. Yeah, with me, it's kind of
- 13:24random, like anytime I got time and I'm sitting on my phone
- 13:26scrolling to Instagram reels, I'm like, I should probably just
- 13:29make a reel right now, probably be more productive.
- 13:32Yeah, and that's what I do. And a lot of the reels that do
- 13:34good are like the really stupid ones, I guess a 5 second clip
- 13:37and just some stupid caption that people want to react to.
- 13:40But. Just getting the clips period
- 13:43bro like I'm fucking terrible at.
- 13:45We are. We honestly are too.
- 13:46But like that's like here's. Something crazy for us like.
- 13:50Thank God I my my car broke down 'cause I was able to like just
- 13:54record everywhere we go. All the clips I got were from
- 13:57him. Recording.
- 13:59Oh, it's so easy. Just spend the whole day
- 14:01recording sitting in the car. Again, by the way, I'm sorry,
- 14:04'cause you you. We're not gonna glaze over that
- 14:07you. Want to like?
- 14:08Roll it back. From the Mustang part, get us to
- 14:11like. Whatever you guys want to do.
- 14:13Yeah, whatever, whatever. But you got to bring that mic
- 14:15all the way to yeah. Yeah.
- 14:17So we're at like I'm. Going to grab a.
- 14:18Beer. I was between a Mustang and the
- 14:19Z Yeah, two different paths chose the Z.
- 14:23We had a buddy that had AZ that was in someone's garage and they
- 14:27started cutting it apart, turning it into a turn it into a
- 14:31drift car and it's been sitting in garages for a few years.
- 14:35Honestly they didn't really cut out, they just cut out like the
- 14:37stuffed damp prep for a cage like it it like cleaned your.
- 14:40Box and stuff in the back. So I got it for like 3500 bucks
- 14:45with a set of fortune auto coilovers so it was a really
- 14:47good deal. 80,000 miles or no? It was like 78,000.
- 14:50Miles, how much was that again? 3500 bucks 30.
- 14:53Five. That's not bad for his that's.
- 14:54Not bad, that's. Great, but I'm sure the car was
- 14:58all messed up, like stripped and everything.
- 15:00And it was stripped on the inside.
- 15:01It still had everything worked like it still got AC heat.
- 15:05It was completely stocked, just the interior was like someone
- 15:07was prepping for a cage and then stopped after getting the whole
- 15:10interior. Dash or door dash?
- 15:11Dash OK door cards. Damn, OK then.
- 15:14Yeah. How much are these right now?
- 15:16They're. They're like $6000 for.
- 15:19That. One running, driving that, yeah.
- 15:21You said for a Clapper. That one super clapped, that one
- 15:25definitely going up if you and the hard thing is is you can't
- 15:28find any of them stock like you can't just find a clean stock
- 15:30one with 80,000 miles, you know? What I mean?
- 15:32If you have to find something, it's probably 12 K.
- 15:35They want 12 K and that's way too much for AZ if you spend
- 15:37that much on AZ. Yeah. 12K that should better
- 15:41have like that HR one like high revving motor I.
- 15:44Feel like 8. I feel like 8 to 10 grand would
- 15:46be a good. First solid car.
- 15:48If it was good. $10,000 I'm not buying a fucking Z. 10 if you're
- 15:51going HR. I mean 10 if you're going HR.
- 15:53I saw somebody wearing DE cars. I found an S chassis though
- 15:57today for six grand. Who was posting it?
- 16:00How beat was that? I was going to say even S
- 16:01chassis is that 6 grand like? Dude, the IT might not have had
- 16:06doors or like but it was a running driving motor in it and
- 16:12it had glass all the way around so all you're doing is just
- 16:14bolting. Them you almost bought it.
- 16:15I'm fine with. It huh?
- 16:16You almost bought it, No? Dude, Jimmy's cart was fun but
- 16:19like no I do not miss it one bit.
- 16:23You strictly stick in ISI. Just like the is.
- 16:25I don't think you could say you. Don't miss it one bit at all.
- 16:28That's a little ridiculous. I don't miss it really a lot.
- 16:30I like that's better. I like, I miss how cool you felt
- 16:34in an S chassis. Let's face it, you feel fucking
- 16:36cool in an S chassis. OK.
- 16:38Any of you guys have a? Yeah, I have AS 13.
- 16:41Yep, but you guys all get. Cool as she's right.
- 16:44Yeah, OK, so I, I originally, I started out drifting my S13 at
- 16:49English Town and I've made it to the ghost track down in
- 16:54Virginia. Spirit.
- 16:56Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they caught the ghost
- 16:58track. That's just the goat.
- 16:59Like that was his logo. Whatever.
- 17:01Yeah, I remember. It was but after after seeing
- 17:04them drive, I kind of wanted a seat time car because I don't
- 17:06want to beat up the S13. So that's how I.
- 17:10So you got the Z for a seat? Time I got I landed in Z for a
- 17:13seat time car and kind of blossomed into the steam.
- 17:15I mean. That was that was kind of a good
- 17:18formula, you know what I'm saying?
- 17:20Because especially because I just like went full Sylvia front
- 17:23end like bricks. And now the oh, is it a coup?
- 17:25Yeah, it's a coup. Just a you.
- 17:28Got painted. Just before that too.
- 17:30So I was like, I don't. Want to beat this?
- 17:31It's a nice car. A nice car I wouldn't want to
- 17:33beat. Up.
- 17:34Yeah. Do we have pictures of these
- 17:36cars, Malcolm? Maybe.
- 17:37Is that a history? It's probably on my Instagram.
- 17:39I don't post much. That's fine.
- 17:41You have to have one on your Yeah, you.
- 17:42Gotta have just one. You have an S13, you definitely.

- 17:50Under score. Yeah, I want to see.
- 17:52This the one thing about that I that I do also.
- 17:56Miss Lentz. One thing that I also miss about
- 17:59the 13 is that it's it's a really freaking small car.
- 18:03Like the roof line, when you lower them it's like.
- 18:06Yeah, well, the IS is a really tall it's.
- 18:08Tall yeah, just hit by just go at like S13 story yeah and
- 18:12scroll towards the end of that if you can click through
- 18:15stories. No, we gotta start.
- 18:16I'll probably be the there. It's that's how it started.
- 18:19Yeah. Actually bought I had 372 weeks.
- 18:22Ago I actually bought this. Hey, Chase.
- 18:24Base. Yeah, Chase base.
- 18:26Well, I mean, I this was half the issue.
- 18:29I should have bought it. It was running and driving.
- 18:31I should hop in and start turning lats.
- 18:33Where are the tubs? They were rusted.
- 18:35They were rusted out, so I cut them out and I'm actually right
- 18:39now in the process of welding new ones in.
- 18:41That's why I haven't really. Been.
- 18:42Oh, here we go. Yeah.
- 18:44Bricks. They're bricks but they put like
- 18:46the clear lenses. That's the only thing I hate.
- 18:48About. Them it is in the boof.
- 18:52Oh, here we go. This is kind of its prime.
- 18:55I really stopped driving it after this.
- 18:57Dude, this is nice. Yeah, it kind of got to a cool
- 18:59point and just. It's coming back.
- 19:02It's coming back. Where did you get that?
- 19:04Or is it turbo turbo? Yeah, Bill Kay.
- 19:06Would you get the shelf? It was actually running and
- 19:09driving. It was probably not far from
- 19:11here, somewhere in New Jersey. I don't know exactly where.
- 19:14We originally went to New York for Sr.
- 19:16Queens. I think it was Queens.
- 19:18It was S14. Caged Sr. and this thing was an
- 19:21absolute claptrap. Like, I'm glad we.
- 19:23Stripped every panel of different colors.
- 19:25And actually I was like, I was just so hype on getting 240.
- 19:29I actually gave the guy an offer.
- 19:31I was like 2 grand or. Something or like don't buy it,
- 19:33you still offer the money. Sr. car is crazy, but this thing
- 19:36was beat up. He's like, if I take off like
- 19:39the bumpers and the tail lights, you could have that price and
- 19:42luckily I walked away and ended up with this coupe out of New
- 19:44Jersey. And that was AZ right there.
- 19:46And that's a stock ZI got dude and.
- 19:49Is that a slick top coupe? Yeah, Slick top.
- 19:52Yeah, manual doors. Yeah, yo, tell me what you paid
- 19:55for it. Tell me what you So the S14
- 19:58didn't work out in Queens? I think I paid what, 2500 for
- 20:03that coupe and I originally it was like a little rusty.
- 20:06I think it was. Like Toms River, I think I ever
- 20:08paid for it at that time, but now obviously, yeah, as chassis
- 20:11prices. When was that?
- 20:13When did you buy it? 2015.
- 20:16No 2016 because we graduated in 15.
- 20:19I still had the mark 5 GTI. Probably 15.
- 20:22It was probably like end of 2016 ish.
- 20:25To jump off. The 13, Yeah.
- 20:27So it was a while ago. Yeah, it was a while and then I
- 20:31like I did the whole you need to strip the whole thing to build
- 20:34AFD car and then actually. Which is what everyone does.
- 20:38I don't know why, but we all regret it somehow.
- 20:42Everyone. You regret it, Yeah.
- 20:43Falls for that trap. But then I feel like the more we
- 20:46bring it up on the podcast, I hope we're like helping people
- 20:48not strip their entire interior. Buy stock and just drive and
- 20:53progress a car with your driving.
- 20:55Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because then you end up
- 20:58never driving and just. Building a car?
- 21:00Yeah, building a car. You never have enough money to
- 21:02fully build a car from the start and then you're going to be
- 21:04scared to drive it. Yep, and you don't know what
- 21:06you're doing to your car because you've never drifted before.
- 21:08Yeah. That's why you're doing stuff
- 21:10that you don't know how it's going to feel.
- 21:11It's nice to put a part on after you know how to drift already.
- 21:14You feel the difference. Maybe you don't like it.
- 21:16That's true, too. Yeah, do like it.
- 21:17A lot of people just put the car together, FDF, angle kit,
- 21:22everything. That's what happens and then you
- 21:24take this thing that wasn't that cheap to thrash around and now,
- 21:27now it's expensive and you still.
- 21:29Don't know how to drift. Yeah.
- 21:31Dude I need to find a picture of this car because I swear to God
- 21:33that's my coupe I think. No.
- 21:35Way I had a slick top coupe that was from Virginia 3 fully stock.
- 21:40Do you live? Is it a cul-de-sac?
- 21:42I don't. Did you?
- 21:42I don't know what I did with it. After no, he said.
- 21:45You guys bought it from someone else?
- 21:46Someone. Else but it stayed in Jersey I
- 21:49think. That's not your.
- 21:52It was a slick top, manual doors.
- 21:53There was only a little bit of rot.
- 21:55It was on the back right? No way.
- 21:57That's it. There's a tiny.
- 21:58Tiny bit I cut. That out, that's what balances
- 22:00and it was. Clean it was.
- 22:02Car. You could try to think back and
- 22:04and and see more things about the car.
- 22:06I'm trying to find a pic. Everyone.
- 22:07Trying. I'm trying because I swear to
- 22:10God I saw it and it had a sill front when I sold it.
- 22:12I didn't have a sill front. It was it was a pig nose.
- 22:14It was completely. So I think yeah, that the only
- 22:17reason why I'm trying to find another photo of it is because
- 22:20when I sold it with the sill front, the sill front was
- 22:22wrecked. So I think they switched it back
- 22:25to pop ups. But you think it was never
- 22:27touched but. I that's why I think the tubs
- 22:30are cut because. I cut the tubs out.
- 22:32Was it? Was it macked?
- 22:34It wasn't. Was it on the front left?
- 22:35Was it on the front left? Someone macked?
- 22:37Yeah. No, I don't know because my
- 22:40front left is definitely cut out.
- 22:42But I'll have to send you something because someone
- 22:45definitely cut the front left like from the strut tower up.
- 22:49Someone cut that out and welded put a new one in, but that'd be
- 22:52pretty crazy if someone took off a Sylvia front and put it
- 22:55completely back. Dude, this was, I traded like a
- 22:58fucking pop up front for that Sylvia front.
- 23:01Like. I feel like this guy.
- 23:02Had that car though I don't know if it was like a Flitz but that
- 23:05would be wild. That would be crazy, especially.
- 23:07Because you say the rust in the back right and being wrecked in
- 23:11the front left. Carl's been trying to find this
- 23:12car. This car was sweet.
- 23:14No, it was a nice car and I didn't appreciate it for what it
- 23:17was because, like, it was a good car.
- 23:20I kind of want to find my S14. That shit is fucked, that thing
- 23:23is gone. That thing is all.
- 23:24Right so my S14 got flooded in Hurricane Sandy right?
- 23:28Had SRD swap everything. I didn't want anything to do
- 23:31with it so I was like someone come buy it.
- 23:34I don't know what I sold it for, but it was definitely more money
- 23:36than you would have thought I would get for it for being
- 23:38completely submerged underwater. When When was this?
- 23:402013 whenever Hurricane Sandy was 2012.
- 23:44Maybe someone bought it. It's like my one of my dreams to
- 23:50just run into that car at an event.
- 23:52But how would you identify? That I could.
- 23:54I could know, I would. Identify this car with Lentz
- 23:56right now and I can't even think of a way.
- 23:58To be hard. If someone painted it it would
- 23:59be hard, but I feel like I could.
- 24:01Know something weird about it? Like.
- 24:03Yeah, small cues. It was.
- 24:06And I also, I'm saying that right now on the podcast, hoping
- 24:08that maybe someone knows where this White S14 Zenki that was
- 24:12flooded. It was just another 13 I'm
- 24:14trying to think of. I have a video of a roller of it
- 24:17too where I was driving and home from fucking Maryland I think
- 24:22and it was stock pig nose. Pig nose.
- 24:27I threw up in that thing. It was crazy.
- 24:28What the fuck? So hot that day.
- 24:30That's your car. Yeah.
- 24:33It had nice carpet in there. Throw up on the side of it.
- 24:36Yeah, you gotta check your throat it.
- 24:37Has that smell. That's why every Nissan gets
- 24:39that smell every guy throws up in there.
- 24:40Oh my God. So you didn't get a Mustang?
- 24:45Didn't get a Mustang, got the Z, welded the DIF, put the fortune
- 24:49autos that came with it on it, GK tech bolt on kit and GK tech
- 24:57arms in the back to get my alignment right.
- 25:00Yeah. Took it to the loop in State
- 25:03College, the notorious loop. Oh, I know a lot of people have
- 25:05been there. I don't know if you've heard
- 25:07people. Circle thing, Yeah, yeah.
- 25:08Yeah. Is it the like the that people
- 25:11film at where it's like kind of hilly?
- 25:12Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like fields around.
- 25:15Yes, yeah. Yeah, so we went there, seat
- 25:18time, free seat time, just show up and drive is it's awesome.
- 25:22You got to like know the guy, know the rules, OK, Check in
- 25:25with him certain times and stuff.
- 25:27It's actually like they sold the property and there's going to be
- 25:30a it might be gone. Yeah, they put a highway
- 25:32through. Yeah, big highway going through.
- 25:34But it's nice to and easy to learn there.
- 25:35So we we went there and got set up one time and then we went to
- 25:39RSDI. Think it was a July event, two
- 25:42days at South Course. What year was this around?
- 25:44This was 22 July 2022, right So. You've been drifting the longest
- 25:51out of everyone. Probably.
- 25:52OK. Alright.
- 25:53Yeah. So 2022 is when you started.
- 25:55Yep. OK.
- 25:57So we went to Poconos, we see Matt there first event.
- 26:00Is that where you guys met Craig?
- 26:02Yeah. No, this is we met at Poconos.
- 26:04Yeah, yeah. So this is the first event he
- 26:07was like kitted out fresh wrap. You're all looking good on the
- 26:12serves. No bent wheels, no bumps, no
- 26:14nothing. Looking right away, green his.
- 26:17Car is clean. Pulled up that that one's.
- 26:19Definitely you got to pull that car.
- 26:20Out, Yeah, black when the Z was black.
- 26:22Oh, yeah? Wait, was that the first time
- 26:24you saw me? That's when you asked for the
- 26:25axle You had the kit on? Yeah.
- 26:28Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, because we saw you there,
- 26:29right? After refresh, wasn't it?
- 26:31Yeah, if you scroll here, go to. A hyper of it because this
- 26:35really set the stage for like our cars.
- 26:38Why we found Matt. I broke an axle on South Coors.
- 26:44We saw Matt and we needed to find somebody with Z parts.
- 26:47So I we looked for our favorite car and he had an axle.
- 26:51OK, there it is. Yeah, in the center.
- 26:53Yeah. So this is.
- 26:54I mean, that looks pretty good. No.
- 26:56Frankie, but I'm a little scared to say that because it could be
- 26:58KBD on you. No, Joe, this this is back when
- 27:01KBD didn't make that kit. Yeah, yeah.
- 27:03Fiberglass. Yeah, he's quick, Quick.
- 27:07Yeah, the guy looks pretty good. I know you.
- 27:09This is I got nothing guys KBD this is.
- 27:11Frankie's speed right here. Like that shit.
- 27:13Yeah. Is is your speed.
- 27:15It's hard to make AZ look good, I'm sorry but.
- 27:17Just need some big Chrome johnnies.
- 27:19Yeah, little Bobby. Yeah, you know that.
- 27:24I think that kit looks really good.
- 27:26Yeah. Is this?
- 27:27What kit is that? That's the vertex kit vertex.
- 27:31Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Vertex is probably
- 27:33fucking crazy expensive. Is it like 2 grand for Vertex?
- 27:36Like real? Yeah.
- 27:37Anything about that? Yeah.
- 27:38The real kit's probably like more than two grand now.
- 27:40Yeah, I don't even know. We got the.
- 27:41Vertex. It's the vertex.
- 27:43Yeah, the new drift line kit, Yeah, it's we're trying to get
- 27:46them in our next origin container.
- 27:48They look. Sick are those going to be?
- 27:49How much are those going to be? Probably not that expensive,
- 27:51probably the same price as any other origin kit which is like
- 27:5313. Yeah.
- 27:54That's not bad really for fenders and quarters.
- 27:56Too. Yeah.
- 27:57Is that what the fenders? Is 13.
- 28:03Like. To the door.
- 28:04Pick it up. No 15 would be picked up because
- 28:0813 would be plus shipping and then you're going to be paying
- 28:11like 17. So but if when we sell them
- 28:13here, we charge retail, that way we can make up for the shipping
- 28:17them here. But yeah, 15 picked up that way.
- 28:21Malcolm can eat. But yeah, that car is nice.
- 28:24No, but Malcolm, bring it back up.
- 28:25I want to see their cars now. Oh, because like that was, that
- 28:29was a pass. Well, I want to see after they
- 28:30drifted for a last there was a period.
- 28:32Of time where you screw up. Push really meant literally.
- 28:35Pushing Go back down, go back. To the push the push.
- 28:37Like all the way down where you were the the the push.
- 28:40Oh, you mean? It changed a little.
- 28:42Bit I was not Matt, Matt, Matt, all right.
- 28:44Broke an axle, needed an axle. He hooked me up.
- 28:48We were going to be at Evergreen the following month or like 2
- 28:51weeks later so I was like I'll get you an axle and I'll replace
- 28:55the one that you put on my car. Well, you know what?
- 28:58Go to the team push page actually, because we can scroll
- 29:00back and see the the Evergreen days.
- 29:02Yeah, come on. Yeah, scroll away.
- 29:04So we. Didn't drive South course
- 29:06together because S course you have to be caged to drive
- 29:08tandems and a class like the road course at Pocono because
- 29:13you can enter like 7080 miles an hour over the bump.
- 29:15Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
- 29:17They do the stack layout, yeah. When we do tandem, yeah, when
- 29:21you do a different entry they they start you from the other
- 29:23side. We ran the stack layout and
- 29:26allegedly we might have ran S course one time.
- 29:29Oh yeah, bias. Allegedly.
- 29:32What might just happen to not look?
- 29:36Yeah, someone might. Or less.
- 29:37Too. Yeah, so that was the that was
- 29:38Evergreen days. Yeah, I heard a rumor that there
- 29:40was a time when these cars look haggard as hell.
- 29:43Yeah. All right.
- 29:44So yeah, I. Guess no, that still looks no,
- 29:47not as bad. As that's early, you gotta keep
- 29:48going. There was, there was.
- 29:50One I fuck with the yellow one. You like the yellow?
- 29:52Yeah. I don't know what it is about
- 29:55yellow ZS. I forget that they came people.
- 29:57Gave me love on them but I just, I just didn't look at it, take
- 30:00pictures of my car like I just didn't like it.
- 30:02I feel like if you embrace the yellow, it's like a fucking.
- 30:05You have to have obviously a body kit and everything.
- 30:06Yeah, yeah, you got to embrace the fuck out of it like I'm a
- 30:09taxi. Yeah, I don't think I've seen a
- 30:11really cool yellow ZI haven't. Yeah, like some of these I.
- 30:13Haven't seen many cool ZS ever. The middle.
- 30:15Ones like this one, yeah. Yeah, you can see how banged his
- 30:17car is. So is that where the the name
- 30:20came from? No, so we're we were just.
- 30:23Push into each. Other that's a joke though.
- 30:26That's a joke. I drove I drove Lentzes Z at
- 30:29that loop before I bought my car and that's what like put the bug
- 30:32in me. And from that point I listened
- 30:35to like every goodest cast one through everything.
- 30:38And we just kept trying to come up with a team name.
- 30:41Like we wanted a one word name, like 1 syllable.
- 30:45And we just, we kept listening for things that stood out to us.
- 30:50And like there's so many people that would come on and talk
- 30:52about pushing, pushing yourself, pushing their limits on driving
- 30:56your speed. And we're just like push.
- 30:59Like why don't we just like we want to, we're not talking about
- 31:02pushing cars around the track. We're like pushing yourself.
- 31:05Push yourself. Every day like, but I mean, we
- 31:08like the name. I like the name.
- 31:10I like the name. I like the exclamation point I.
- 31:12Love the the sticker. Yeah.
- 31:13So that came from like our bike crew, the exclamation point.
- 31:16We back in the day, our bike crew like our BMX crew, we
- 31:20called it exclamation and we had AE bro.
- 31:23With like what the fuck that would have been the best.
- 31:26Drift name. Exclamation.
- 31:28I feel like that I heard that exclamation.
- 31:30I like push too though. Yeah, exclamation is fun.
- 31:32Well, somebody that wants to make a new team.
- 31:34Exclamation. Yeah, that's a good drift.
- 31:37Name well, you put a lot of thought into it and it it it
- 31:39paid off, I think I think it looks really cool is.
- 31:41That the. One that and Jay Smalls.
- 31:43Is that Justin's last name? Smalls, right?
- 31:45Yeah, I think so. I cite JP.
- 31:47Yeah, we reached out to him and he actually, we came up with a
- 31:51name and he designed our logo. So we kind of like.
- 31:53That explains a lot. Yeah.
- 31:54Yeah, that, that. Hey, there we go.
- 31:56Hey, Jay Smalls. Yeah.
- 31:58That shit looks. Shit out, Justin.
- 32:00And just he, he has hands in a new livery coming out this
- 32:03season. Oh yeah, that's pretty.
- 32:05Sweet, I love hearing other homies support and other homies
- 32:09like that was. I would have never known that
- 32:12Jay Smalls did that. But now that I know I'm like,
- 32:16yeah. Yeah, that seems.
- 32:17Like, well, when I saw you guys at that twin drift event, that's
- 32:21the first thing I noticed was the disease didn't look bad.
- 32:24I was like, well, that's weird. And then and then you're the
- 32:29sticker on the back. I was like, damn, I was like
- 32:31this is good. And then the driving, I was
- 32:32like, holy shit. So that was you 2 or?
- 32:35Yeah, US 2 for. The twin drift.
- 32:37Yeah, dude, that driving was pretty.
- 32:39Pretty good. Honestly, that last lap of the
- 32:41day is probably definitely one of my best Chase laps.
- 32:44Yeah, that. Sounds a good you guys were.
- 32:45Killing it too, like. Dude, we were honestly guys, we
- 32:48were all driving so good. That was like, fuck, there was
- 32:51like. Three teams.

- 32:56Kyle. Derek was.
- 32:58Yeah, they were. They were killing it too.
- 33:00Yeah, you know, I was actually supposed to go and drift with
- 33:03Kyle Busi and. He oh instead of.
- 33:06Yeah, I messaged him and I was like, yo, listen, he didn't have
- 33:09a car right now, so I was like, I need somebody to drive with.
- 33:12And he was like, yeah, I'm down, I'll buy the tickets right now.
- 33:14I was like, OK, me too. Let me just make sure I have
- 33:16nothing planned that day, you know?

- 34:37driving this car this year? And we were talking about, you
- 34:39were talking about Josh's car because we were standing in
- 34:41front of the 15 they I was looking at your car and I was
- 34:44like. I don't fucking know anything.
- 34:45I think I. Hear about this?
- 34:46I don't even ask anymore. Me and Josh think my car's going
- 34:49to be done before his. No, I'm.
- 34:52Just saying he. Josh is like paying.
- 34:55You to. Do that.
- 34:56So you're going to do that? I'm just saying.
- 34:58But the fact that Josh is going to finish yet another car before
- 35:01you? He said he's like, I don't know
- 35:04anymore. I was like, he's the goal was
- 35:06April for his car, but now he's like, I don't know anymore.
- 35:08Maybe it would take a little bit longer.
- 35:10Because. He's trying to drive his other
- 35:11car too now, so. Is he planning to drive the S15
- 35:14for SSE this year? That's a good question and I
- 35:19don't really know the answer right now.
- 35:20I think we'll know more in like a month when?
- 35:22Everybody starts freaking. Out coming quick.
- 35:25I'm still like I So we dropped my car off to get a cage, what,
- 35:29like mid-december, and we told him to take his time because I
- 35:34had surgery. I had a carpal tunnel release.
- 35:37Oh shit, yeah. So my scar now.
- 35:40Yeah, I got my little scar. Wait.
- 35:41Why you had carpal tunnel like release?
- 35:44What is that? It was that bad where they had
- 35:45to like like you would have reset I'm.
- 35:48Going to what is that? I do like I do like I sand
- 35:52wheels and and fix a lot of like curb rash and corrosion on
- 35:55wheels. So I deal with like the
- 35:57vibrations a lot in my hands. Yeah, you.
- 36:00Better watch it. Yeah, I have a little technique
- 36:02for that. OK, but I'm sure he did too.
- 36:04I grabbed. My elbows.
- 36:05I do, yeah. Elbows.
- 36:10No, I grab like 3 rags and put it on the face.
- 36:12Carl makes the. Car with his feet.
- 36:14Yeah, you just switch it up. A week.
- 36:16So I'm like coming up on 9 years of being with my company.
- 36:19I don't know if I want to shout them.
- 36:22Out all right? No, no, it's all right.
- 36:23You look, man, Yeah, again, you could leave out great place.
- 36:27To work, but I don't need them. I don't need a.
- 36:29Shot perfect, yeah. But three weeks into it probably
- 36:33I started feeling symptoms of my hands just tingling all the
- 36:36time, like driving, drinking coffee, eating breakfast.
- 36:40My hands go numb within Jesus Christ.
- 36:42Is it just it? Was minutes.
- 36:44Then like six months ago it turned to like 3045 seconds.
- 36:49I'm holding something, my hands fully numb.
- 36:51Like when I'm sleeping it wakes me up.
- 36:54Like my whole way up my arm is just like burning.
- 36:56How old are you? 27.
- 36:58Oh my God. Yeah, so I got there.
- 37:01They did. I've been like talking about
- 37:03doing it for a few winters. And I was like, this winter, I'm
- 37:06getting it done. I'm going to do whatever winter.
- 37:08But you knew about this because I was outside this reset.
- 37:11Yeah. So basically there's a carpal
- 37:14ligament. Your, your nerve moves through
- 37:16that tunnel under the ligament and when you build up scar
- 37:20tissue, this ligament gets thick and it'll rub against that nerve
- 37:24and compress it. So like everything flows like I
- 37:27have blood flow and everything down there, but like this side
- 37:29of my fingers kind of always numb and like my tips were like
- 37:34numb, numb. Like I couldn't pick up bolts.
- 37:37I'm scared that's. Not feeling stuff with your
- 37:39fingers. How do you avoid this?
- 37:41So. That's.
- 37:43Avoiding it? Oh, don't.
- 37:45Show me this, Malcolm. No, no, pull it up.
- 37:47Pull it up. Thank you, Malcolm.
- 37:48So. Basically, you just, we're
- 37:49learning, Yeah. See how the nerve?
- 37:51So you go like this, the nerve moves through there and rubs
- 37:53against the carpal. Lumen and they just cut that.
- 37:56Out so they just cut it and make a window and it.
- 37:59Oh, it bore it out. Literally it's not an upgrade,
- 38:02but I like to call it they're. Giving you a high clearance.
- 38:05Whatever he said, it won't come back.
- 38:07I can go back to my work. This is five weeks.
- 38:10That's what they all say, right? Five weeks, he said that 95% of
- 38:14people, it doesn't reoccur. I'm already better.
- 38:16Like three days after felt better.
- 38:18He was playing the SIM like that.
- 38:20Yeah, like I had a Band-Aid on here.
- 38:22I waited two or three. What was it, 2 1/2 weeks until I
- 38:24played? That was hard.
- 38:26So they just gave it more. Room so the nerve so that
- 38:30whatever they just cut it see where that's red like going
- 38:33right here, they just cut a window in there so the nerve
- 38:36doesn't rub against. That yellow thing doesn't touch
- 38:38the white thing right there. So like it didn't bother me
- 38:40drifting really, because you're only you're in a lap for like
- 38:42what a minute and your hands are moving in different positions
- 38:45the whole time. But like towing, dude, it was a
- 38:48it was a struggle. And like Saturday mornings after
- 38:50I work like a Friday doing wheels all day.
- 38:52Like Fridays are my wheel days Saturday morning like eating
- 38:56breakfast, I'd have to like take breaks and like.
- 38:58He's like a 90 year old man. Yeah, dude, it was bad.
- 39:00That's not like my my one cousin who fucking like this is going
- 39:05to sound so fucking me, but we make fun of him for it because
- 39:08when he'll eat soup now he's like he was a computer.
- 39:12Oh yeah, people that type a lot. If you don't use like a wrist
- 39:15thing that keeps your hands like this.
- 39:17A little. Bad thing.
- 39:17It's from being like this, yes. So like the wrist braces, put
- 39:21your hands. That's a good way to avoid it.
- 39:24He's a few years older than me though and so back in the 90s
- 39:27when he was doing this. Where's the little pad you got
- 39:31he was doing? Oh, he oh, was he bent up like
- 39:33this? No, back in the 90s, I feel like
- 39:35when people working in the office, they weren't really
- 39:37that's me. They weren't giving you
- 39:39ergonomic this that and the third like it was just fucking
- 39:41here's your keyboard type right here.
- 39:43So now when he has soup, he's like fucking like this really,
- 39:47really bad and like like really bad.
- 39:50And then, yeah, sometimes it looks funny.
- 39:53And you make fun of them. Yeah, that's terrible.
- 39:55All right, moving on. That's my old cousin.
- 39:59Like this guy. Fucking probably.
- 40:01Yeah. You guys.
- 40:01Make fun of me for having shaking hands too, so that's
- 40:04fine. I don't.
- 40:04I most definitely don't do that. I'll tell.
- 40:06You who does fucking Lewis every single time, All right, Shakey,
- 40:09I'm like, OK Dick head is that? Parkinson's.
- 40:12No, I mean, it's been like that my whole life, I mean.
- 40:15I'm pretty shaky right now. That's not that shaky.
- 40:18So that's that's a different thing.
- 40:20I've been like this my whole life pretty much.
- 40:22Can you hold? Can can you?
- 40:23Can you guys hold your hands out like straight?
- 40:25You can see mine. Shaky.
- 40:26You can see mine like trembling. Yeah, who got this?
- 40:28Who got the less shaky his hand right now?
- 40:29Surgeon Hand. Y'all make fun of his shake?
- 40:31That thing's got less look. Eddie, I could see it moving
- 40:34slightly. You got to learn to love the
- 40:36shake like I like. Yeah, that's crazy.
- 40:41I'm. Serious, look steady.
- 40:44You know that first lap, like first lap, go out, come back off
- 40:47track and you're just like. Get them jitters.
- 40:49Yeah, I love, I love. The jitters.
- 40:51So I was driving today and you know how sometimes you feel like
- 40:53just now I'm going to sound crazy too, but I'm driving and
- 40:57you'll just be like, you'll just hit like a fucking like, like I
- 41:00just want to fucking like jitter something I'm like.
- 41:03Like a fidget. OK, so I think that I'm going to
- 41:05get Parkinson's when I'm over. Wait wait, so you I have this?
- 41:08Feeling where I'm like you. Just need to move your hand.
- 41:09Move my. Hand to do something.
- 41:11You like to rats? Yeah.
- 41:14Dude no, we have a friend. He has a lot of friends with no.
- 41:17Some issues. Yeah.
- 41:21Different one. That was.
- 41:23Someone kid, what are you thinking when you about?
- 41:25I'm just. Sitting there, let's say I'm
- 41:26driving and I have an intrusive thought to just be like like
- 41:30jitter around or. Something I think that's just
- 41:32your brain. I don't think that's something
- 41:34with your body. I think that's you because
- 41:36you're you're a very like you got to be moving.
- 41:39You got? Yeah, yeah.
- 41:40Don't. Don't need.
- 41:41Yeah, but ADHD is a little different.
- 41:44There's like a fucking. I don't know, man, he might be.
- 41:46I think we're just a little restarted, you know what I mean?
- 41:49Yeah, yeah. That's.
- 41:51Good, that's a good one. I'm gonna fucking keep using
- 41:53that. Yeah, I don't know.
- 41:55You think you have ADHD or were you ever like told you?
- 41:58No, I, I definitely fucking have that shit.
- 42:01I did they pretty. Sure, everyone in this room,
- 42:02probably. I think it's it's like, yeah,
- 42:04it's like you need to have it. First of all, I think that
- 42:06shit's made-up. Second of all.
- 42:08No, it's definitely. I think it's made-up too.
- 42:10I think that shit's some. Bullshit.
- 42:12Your kid has. ADHD.
- 42:13Oh so my kid likes to like move around and talk?
- 42:16He's a kid. Yeah.
- 42:17Yeah, that's true. So yeah.
- 42:18We're going to have to medicate him.
- 42:19What? What?
- 42:20That's how the name Hyper came because I was just.
- 42:22I got. People always tell me oh you got
- 42:24ADHD or something? Nah bro, I'm just hyperactive
- 42:26you know what I mean? Like I just.
- 42:27Like hyperactive I like. That, but then you got, you
- 42:29learn to use it and it's kind of sick because then you're just
- 42:32doing like 20 things at once and you're like, what the fuck is
- 42:35even going on, right? Now.
- 42:37And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, guess what, it runs
- 42:41out and. Then.
- 42:42What? And then you're sitting there.
- 42:44I've never seen it. 2020 things that you were just doing all
- 42:48just sitting unfinished and you're just sitting in the
- 42:51middle of the room of all of it. You're just like, what do I do
- 42:55now? Like that is quite literally
- 42:58what happened. How do you how is your sleep
- 43:00like? Well, what's your sleep?
- 43:01Horrible, horrible. Whenever I was sleeping with
- 43:04somebody like not like that inappropriately, but they would
- 43:07be pissed because you would be moving restless as fuck.
- 43:10Are you you're actually awake when this is happening or you
- 43:12don't do any I? Just can't.
- 43:13It takes a while for me to fall asleep because I'm trying to
- 43:15think of what I'm going to do when I wake up.
- 43:18Yeah, no, I I get that. I get that.
- 43:20You know what I'm saying? Like I'm trying to.
- 43:21Think what do you have next? Yeah, his brain is racing.
- 43:24Yeah, that's definitely. That's definitely the worst.
- 43:27I've never ever slept before a drift event.
- 43:30Calmly ever. I'm literally just sitting there
- 43:33like I. Don't think we you're way out.
- 43:35You're way ahead of my like drift schedule.
- 43:37You you said if the car's not ready the week before.
- 43:40Yeah, it's. Called.
- 43:40You're not. There, right.
- 43:41I schedule Friday, Friday nights.
- 43:43You don't know how many times you're like, I'm just going to
- 43:45bolt, check my car and find something catastrophic.
- 43:48I agree with that. Catastrophic.
- 43:50Like. Is like way.
- 43:52Yeah. If it's not one that's like
- 43:53that. I check my car at the track, you
- 43:55know, you know that time. I'm not even joking.
- 43:59You get there, you pull it off the trailer.
- 44:02Yo, everybody's going to tech one SEC.
- 44:04I think we're going to drift today.
- 44:06That's. My luck, see, so it's happened
- 44:09to me where my luck right there, Ron is not there that day and I,
- 44:14I will have to just put my shit back on the truck because I'm
- 44:16not. Going to fix it so you never
- 44:17failed tech before. I failed tech and then I go
- 44:19home. Go home.
- 44:20Right away, we're not making fun of you.
- 44:22We're saying that we can't believe that you, dude.
- 44:25That's that prepared. I'm saying it's because I'm
- 44:29saying it's because I failed or I don't like failing tech.
- 44:33I know not that I don't like. I don't like that feeling where
- 44:37I'm like. Oh, you don't want to.
- 44:39You want to be calm. I.
- 44:41Need to figure it out if it's going to work and then I'll be
- 44:44like excited about it. I can't be excited about it.
- 44:47If I'm anxious as fuck about it then I'm just going to freak out
- 44:51and then I got to fix it right away and then then I don't
- 44:54sleep. I think most of us are just
- 44:55procrastinators. That's sleepless night, that
- 44:58yeah, that's what it is. That's ADHD, buddy.
- 45:01I had. You're not a procrastinator, I
- 45:02don't think. No, I am ahead of time.
- 45:04Wait, what? Yeah, you get.
- 45:05Yeah, you get it done ahead. Of that's the only thing and
- 45:08it's it's the one only thing in my life bro.
- 45:11I will wait till my dying like fucking till the last amount of
- 45:16blood that my body can handle and then I'll be like fuck, I
- 45:18guess I got to go to the hospital.
- 45:19Oh yeah, but I'm ordering tires 2 weeks before the event.
- 45:22It's only. For drifting, Oh yeah tires on
- 45:24my head on it's horrible but we're both chewing.
- 45:27Always end up bad if. You don't check your car.
- 45:30There's nothing broke right, Matt?
- 45:32That too. Exactly.
- 45:33Yeah. There's that mentality.
- 45:35I pulled up to drivers meetings on a flat tire without No Yeah.
- 45:39Damn. And.
- 45:41That's some nice. That's a different.
- 45:43That wasn't it wasn't just a flat tire like he was rolling up
- 45:46one. Ring 2 seconds.
- 45:48The bead was not in place. It was.
- 45:50It was like flopping. You don't want to get stuck on
- 45:52your. Car.
- 45:52Wow, you're really serious about this?
- 45:53Show up and then check your car. Well, that day, that's all.
- 45:57Before the cars were painted right.
- 45:58Yeah, that was before the cars. That was the old stage, that was
- 46:00the. That was in before.
- 46:04Yeah, it seems like there was an old push and a new push.
- 46:06Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 46:07Definitely a flip. That's good.
- 46:08That's good. Yeah.
- 46:09It's oh, I want to get into SIM driving.
- 46:12OK. Oh, was this OK?
- 46:13Is that a big part of how you guys learn how to drive with
- 46:15each other in the SIM driving? We all, we all drove before SIM,
- 46:21right? You didn't SIM.
- 46:22No, I didn't SIM before. Driving, no.
- 46:24So we all you were when we started the team once was
- 46:28building a SIM and you slowly built your SIM like you slowly
- 46:32got the PC, the shifter, all this stuff because you went like
- 46:37what's your what brand is yours again?
- 46:39I went fan tech, fan tech. I don't recommend.
- 46:41That's what Malcolm has, I think.
- 46:43I don't recommend. Yeah.
- 46:46What? What?
- 46:46Going apart? What?
- 46:47Don't you like about? It I had to replace the E brake
- 46:50already and the shifters always misshifting on me.
- 46:53It's like I have a broken CDO 9 every time a second and third
- 46:56just misshift. Well, it makes it feel
- 46:58realistic. You know, it's a realistic.
- 46:59Part no, but if anybody's getting like into simming and
- 47:04stuff like that, I highly recommend Moses.
- 47:06I think it's cheaper than fantasy right and it's like I've
- 47:08had no issues with mine. Only thing I have issues with is
- 47:11like the cable sometimes like I I shift hella hard, you know
- 47:14what I mean? Is it?
- 47:15A three or. Five messed up.
- 47:16R3 or five? Five I think the R3 is like the
- 47:19little baby one and then there's a 5 and then they have like some
- 47:22pro NASCAR R cars yeah they have like it's.
- 47:25Expensive Carl's got. Some shit from 20 years ago.
- 47:28That shit you liked? It it's broken now, I didn't
- 47:31want to say it, but after that night.
- 47:33Someone broke it that night for sure.
- 47:34You know. That shit was wild.
- 47:37Well, we all keep a Christmas party at my house and fucking
- 47:40does. Everybody was just on the SIM.
- 47:42And I, I think it was just run, it was broke that shit.
- 47:44Logitech or Thrustmaster? It was a Logitech G25. 25 I'm on
- 47:48the 29. Praying.
- 47:50Dude, Windows. XP now the shifter is like
- 47:52dying. It died so now I only have gear
- 47:551 and 2. Yeah, they're both on the
- 47:56Logitech. You guys are both on the 29,
- 47:58right? I don't know.
- 47:59I don't. Have yeah, so like Evergreen
- 48:01ended you bought a SIM and and Lentz was just finishing his SIM
- 48:04up and I was like. This was after their first
- 48:07season. After their first.
- 48:08Season and they're like they're in the group chat like yo, you
- 48:11want a SIM? You want a SIM.
- 48:12And I'm like, yeah. They are a bit of money.
- 48:15And then I was like next winter, next winter because I want to, I
- 48:19want to buy wheels for the car. I want to get the kit going like
- 48:21I want to look good. So I started doing those things
- 48:25and my girlfriend at the time, now my fiance, she was messaging
- 48:30with with Brendan and she bought me APC so she picked me up for
- 48:36Christmas. Shout out.

- 48:53got him figured out what PCI need to run everything set up.
- 48:57And then Lance bought me a wheel, so he bought me the
- 48:59Logitech G29 for Christmas. So I got two of the best

- 49:33My girl has been in a tent that has collapsed and it's raining
- 49:38inside on the air mattress that's disinflated, but you know
- 49:41what that is? And then waking up at like, 3:00
- 49:43AM at a drift event that you're like 8 hours from your house.
- 49:46Yeah. You just wanna go home, you

- 50:18I just hook it straight to my TV and I'm not doing anything until
- 50:22something breaks like. I got the Logitech.
- 50:23Shifter, the Amazon E brake and the Logitech wheel and the I
- 50:29don't even download any other games.
- 50:30I just got aceto and that's it. He went simple guy, you go.
- 50:34Hard like so that happened for me and then Yasie girl she
- 50:39hooked him up. Got the G 29 too.
- 50:41Damn y'all y'all a baby mom was for?
- 50:44Girls are the best man. Yes, there we go.
- 50:46Get yourself a good woman. That's.
- 50:48Awesome. Yeah, that's awesome.
- 50:49I got a double monitor set up but I don't like the way it is,
- 50:53so yeah, that sounds. Terrible 'cause then it would
- 50:55be. Yeah, it's weird.
- 50:57I gotta get like 3. It's like something in the
- 50:59middle that combines the screen. Damien you always see three
- 51:02monitors. Damien's set up is like what?
- 51:05Do you? Do you ever see Damien's?
- 51:06Damien from Karoshi. I'm sure it's probably.
- 51:09Probably insane. It's probably the best setup you
- 51:12could ever get. Rescreen but I played see I I
- 51:15put the VR and played at Matt's house.
- 51:16Instantly got. Sweaty are.
- 51:18You, you're a VR person. I like the VR VR because I feel
- 51:22like the VR gives you like a good like everywhere.
- 51:25You no I. Get like fully.
- 51:26I'm. Sick man, I get sick in the real
- 51:28car. If I'm on the SIM and I hit the
- 51:30Pensia a couple times, I'm like, what the fuck's doing?
- 51:32I can't dude. I don't think that's The Sims
- 51:35ball. No, no, no, no.
- 51:36That to me, that's conditioning. I do that every time.
- 51:39I do that every time I allegedly ripped the Benjamin until that
- 51:42light blinks and then you sit there and you're like.
- 51:45Locked in. I'm going.
- 51:46To throw up. I'm going to throw up I think
- 51:49because I accidentally look to my left.
- 51:51Now VR is like the real SIM. Yeah, it's a SIM rake.
- 51:54It's like simulation. I put that thing on our list.
- 51:57Sometimes I hop out the car and I just watch people go down the
- 51:59entry and stuff like that. I'm just like, yeah.
- 52:02There we go. Yeah, I'll park up at turn one
- 52:04at U Town and just like go check it out, check out my check out
- 52:07look. You can actually get out the car
- 52:08and. Walk around.
- 52:09Not like you're fucking grabbing the door handle.
- 52:12You're just like walking. I feel like I'm a GTA or
- 52:14something. Yeah, you can look around, do
- 52:16whatever, look at the wheels like it's kind of wild.
- 52:19If you had a big enough room and if you're playing wirelessly,
- 52:23you could probably fucking walk around the whole car if you
- 52:25fucking. Walk around US air and stuff
- 52:27like. That and.
- 52:28You had a PC when she walked up because he was on the
- 52:31controller, he was always running laps with Matt.
- 52:33So I was the only one out. So I was fine with the I was
- 52:36like, I'll get it next winter. And then they hooked us all up
- 52:38and then boom, it went from two people on the SIM and you were
- 52:41on the controller to all all four of us running like we go
- 52:45like 7:30 to 9:00 every night. Like dude, we're our.
- 52:48Heart those those posts post dinner.
- 52:50Man we were up to like 2:00 in the morning simming.
- 52:52When we first started here, yeah, we were on that faction 1A
- 52:55little bit in the beginning, yeah.
- 52:57We used to be in the faction, dude.
- 52:58Two did post dinner be pre sleep that window.
- 53:03It's popping everyone on every. The whole content manager is
- 53:07just like. There it.
- 53:08Is yeah, everybody's sitting. Especially on Tuesday, too.
- 53:12All Tam Tuesday. Shutout.
- 53:14Shout out Barry, the best media. Goes run like a crazy dude.
- 53:17I can't play in there because there's this many, yeah, starts
- 53:21lagging. Lag.
- 53:22Explode. Everyone's good when he does the
- 53:24CG cars because I'm on VR. If if he does N star or
- 53:27something, I want the swarm cars.
- 53:29Yeah, yeah. The swarm cars have been kind of
- 53:31struggling, I think, for some computers, but that's what helps
- 53:34with being on a single screen. Your computer doesn't struggle
- 53:36so hard. That's why, that's our why our
- 53:38one friend Diego is like, toss that VR headset out.
- 53:40Yeah, put the TV on. He could play.
- 53:42These guys set those neck effects right.
- 53:44I think I got them off a random YouTube video to get the neck
- 53:46effects to turn the angles you want and stuff.
- 53:50That's where the Frankie, that's where like the screen.
- 53:52The screen, well, look where you're looking.
- 53:53At the head of the slide. But the people so like simming
- 53:59people say it doesn't work. I just think you didn't play,
- 54:02you didn't play enough. Like if you used to think it it
- 54:05yes it doesn't feel like the regular car, but when you play
- 54:07long enough you can feel in the wheel how the cars react.
- 54:10It's the same. And you learn to know what to
- 54:12feel for. You might have to deal from
- 54:14Forza 4 bro. That's not a SIM.
- 54:16Yeah, so I'm sure that shit works a lot better.
- 54:18OK, so at that party that I'm talking about, I finally got to
- 54:22sit Frankie down for a hot minute.
- 54:24I just left him there. I hated that fucking thing.
- 54:26You liked it? No.
- 54:28Compared to other I. Would say that the issue is I
- 54:31think. It was a wheel, but yeah.
- 54:32If you drifted before you try to SIM and like understand how a
- 54:36car is supposed to react and hop in a SIM, you're going to
- 54:38absolutely hate it. You have to just.
- 54:40You have to take. The shit out you have.
- 54:42To spend that two weeks and like learn how the SIM reacts.
- 54:45How weird is that though? It's like if you.
- 54:47SIM, I wanted to you. Get in a drift car and probably
- 54:50just drift. It's the track.
- 54:52If. You do the.
- 54:52Opposite way. Yeah, it's impossible.
- 54:54You have to learn how to do it. You look like an idiot on view.
- 54:57Fly off like you can't anticipate your speed.
- 54:59You're just flying off the track all the time.
- 55:01It's. So weird how it goes one way and
- 55:03doesn't go the other. Way that's because your brain is
- 55:05so used to like real life that yeah, it feels like a video game
- 55:09I'm not gonna lie when you play SIM it doesn't feel like
- 55:11everything doesn't feel the real like.
- 55:13Really you don't have the feedback?
- 55:15Yeah. But when you have the same
- 55:17controls and it's basically the same thing because you're
- 55:20hitting the gas, hitting the clock, everything's the same.
- 55:22It's like that. It's like syncs, they kind of
- 55:23sync together. And it also just helps that
- 55:25Carl's E brake was a button. You know what?
- 55:26Oh. Yeah, you can't have the
- 55:28buttons, that's the space for everybody starts you got space
- 55:31bar. Everybody.
- 55:31Started on mine is this little it's it's like this the tiniest
- 55:36press press. B I'm like what?
- 55:37It's the tiniest red. It's like it's this button right
- 55:40here, Frank. You don't have to use it.
- 55:42Carl's on there like. Yeah.
- 55:45You so locked in. Like he knows exactly where that
- 55:48shit is. I'm like what?
- 55:49Sorry. That's his rig, That's his.
- 55:51Rig I get Josh on there and then I sit next to him.
- 55:53I go like this and I have my hand on the button.
- 55:56I go here's your E brake. So I'm sitting there like that.
- 55:58Josh is going he comes in he's like what the fuck are you guys
- 56:03doing? I'm like this is the E brake
- 56:04now. Like we don't have a choice.
- 56:06I, I feel like, I think, I think the source of why it doesn't
- 56:10feel real. The only thing that feels the
- 56:12most realistic thing to me with simming is like when you
- 56:14transition and you go like that real transition time and you're
- 56:17seeing the car move and like you get in the pocket or whatever
- 56:21and you surge the entry. When you initiate and you turn
- 56:25in and you don't feel the car, do that.
- 56:27Oh yeah. That's it.
- 56:28Especially that you're missing right there.
- 56:30I think if I, I would have to like, you know, do it for a
- 56:32couple weeks, yeah, I'd probably be like, OK.
- 56:34For multiple hours a day? Yeah.
- 56:36Like what? Yeah, it's frustrating at first.
- 56:38I think I'll be able to get it. Yeah, like it was it was like, I
- 56:41don't know about this, but it's like set in your mind, I'm going
- 56:43to figure this out because it's a tool.
- 56:45Like look at these kids. Shout out Eric, like our little
- 56:50drift kid. What's it Drift Kid 215?
- 56:522 something what? He's 1415 now.
- 56:55That guy's good. Drives with driver at drift.
- 56:57At drift. Evergreen kid shreds.
- 57:00The last time we were at South course he didn't spin out once.
- 57:0315 years old. Like wow, what was I?
- 57:05Doing. At kid riffs and he's on the
- 57:07SIM. He's on the SIM with us almost,
- 57:09not all, not as often as we're on, but he's on with us a lot.
- 57:11Yeah, he's push affiliated. People push.
- 57:14Affiliated. Yeah, he's prospecting people.
- 57:17Who who say simming doesn't work?
- 57:19I don't. Those people are kind of.
- 57:22Ridiculous game trial. You should, yeah.
- 57:23There are people with. Your game bro, you should get
- 57:25beam Ng. I see people, yeah.
- 57:27How is that I? Don't drift.
- 57:28It's not a drift game, it's a brain rod game.
- 57:31That's what I use it. For you, said brain Rod.
- 57:33Yeah, Brain Rod. Like I'll do something like.
- 57:35TikTok replacement. I'll do something like that's
- 57:38the one lobby I was in had I s s and trailers.
- 57:42So I put a hitch on the IS and I put I got a trailer.
- 57:46It's like, OK, then I put I don't get and then I put the IS
- 57:49on the trailer and you just towing it.
- 57:51And I was. Just towing it just to see if it
- 57:53would do it. This is This is why I don't play
- 57:55video just to. See if it would do it.
- 57:57Why? Because I was harmful about
- 57:58idiot I. Heard about this one dude that
- 58:00we knew once. He's like, yeah, yeah, he's just
- 58:03been up all night playing a tractor trailer simulator.
- 58:06I'm like, excuse me? And then and, like, try to
- 58:08explain it to me. And I was like, wait, wait,
- 58:09wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 58:10This guy is playing a video game where he just drives a tractor
- 58:13trailer across the country. Two different things 2
- 58:16completely. Different farming simulators,
- 58:18yeah. That's.
- 58:20I've never played that, but it sounds fun.
- 58:22It's like, why don't you just get ACDL and go make some
- 58:24fucking money? Yeah, doing the same shit.
- 58:26I am not hauling nothing. But it's not even fun, though.
- 58:29OK, here's how about this one? How about this one?
- 58:32Sometimes they'll be driving, you see?
- 58:34We'll we'll see like a random hill on the side of the road.
- 58:36I'm like, yo Quan Park in front of that hill.
- 58:38I'm going to go back there. I'm going to see if I can jump
- 58:39over you. Can you do that?
- 58:42Dude? It's tractor.
- 58:43Simulator. I mean, when when you're playing
- 58:45with friends, maybe it's a little better.
- 58:46It's. Fun.
- 58:47Well, both You just in the tractor trailer driving to
- 58:48California, No? No, I mean no.
- 58:51He's jumping a big. Load No, no, no.

- 58:54And So what? So beam is like what do?
- 58:56You and it's soft body physics so it like crashes.
- 58:59There is drifting. And crashing simulator game it
- 59:01will crash. Yeah, it would.
- 59:02Just just the body. But it is a drifting.
- 59:04Is this the thing? Not at all.
- 59:06You ever see like the clips on Facebook where it's like, yes,
- 59:08how, how long will this car the last off this jump?
- 59:11That is the one. They send the Land Rover, they
- 59:14love ETT. Yeah.
- 59:16So you just jump cars in this game?
- 59:17That's right, you could. Do it.
- 59:18Addicting. Butt drift.
- 59:19You could go off roading in there.
- 59:21Fucking I got a coy in the game. Okay.
- 59:23Missions. Yo is with the coy on the back.
- 59:26Oh, I see. I haven't tried to do it reverse
- 59:29like that. I've tried to do it.
- 59:30ISIS koi IS. You're going, you're going to
- 59:33the trails, you gotta take the how you get in the koi to the
- 59:35trails in case something happens.
- 59:37Gotta right? Find the IS right?
- 59:38Fuck but what's up with the GTA shit too because people be
- 59:41telling me they have like full time jobs in the game so.
- 59:43Like, Oh yeah. You guys are grinding for Yeah.
- 59:45You guys, I told you about what happened with.
- 59:47That I think you told. Me right, we got blown up by the
- 59:51moderator in the fucking game and robbed by him, put in jail
- 59:54by him and we were like, you literally just told us how to
- 59:58play this game and then you just arrested us.
- 1:00:00You guys had a huge trap operation going on.
- 1:00:03Wait. Wait, you guys drug dealers?
- 1:00:05Yeah, yeah. And they mean the casino, right?

- 1:00:14So they work a full job, they get home, they go.
- 1:00:16All right. I can't wait to be a cop
- 1:00:17tonight. Well.
- 1:00:18They probably don't have on a video game real job.

- 1:00:47Normal GTA is great. I'm waiting for the new one.
- 1:00:50Maybe I'll get hooked into that, but I don't even look at when we
- 1:00:53get on the SIM. I don't even look at it like a
- 1:00:54video game. Like I always say, I'm going to
- 1:00:56the gym, gym. Yeah, that's different.
- 1:00:58I'm. Going to put in some laps.
- 1:01:00Like I'm dude on a solid SIM session.
- 1:01:03I'm sure. You.
- 1:01:06Gotta have the fan, especially in the summer.
- 1:01:07Like, yeah, Matt up in the attic.
- 1:01:09He's up in the attic playing in underwear, sweating.
- 1:01:13Grind. You know I.

- 1:01:33have to get up and like the cables and not that long.
- 1:01:35And I'm like here, I'm trying to change my SIM where you tune it
- 1:01:40and I'm like this looking on the side.
- 1:01:41Yeah, for me, I got the perfect cat tree.
- 1:01:45So I put my keyboard on the bottom step of the cat tree.
- 1:01:48I put my mouse talking. About the thing that the.
- 1:01:50Literal like the cat tree. Shit, sounds like the matrix.
- 1:01:53You know the matrix I don't like.
- 1:01:54Keyboard holder or a mouse holder.
- 1:01:56So I put the cat tree beside me and I have my keyboard and then
- 1:02:00when I have the chat up I can type real quick.
- 1:02:02That's. Per That's got to be the best
- 1:02:04one. Wait, so you could just plug
- 1:02:06your head in and then you could just think about it and you type
- 1:02:08it? That shit's going to be crazy.
- 1:02:10Oh, it's going to happen. It's coming.
- 1:02:12We'll be dead. I.
- 1:02:13Pull a little drawer out in front of the like my wheel goes
- 1:02:15under my desk and I I pull the drawer out and I just lodge the
- 1:02:18keyboard like this. So I'm trying to type with the
- 1:02:21headset on. I'm like.

- 1:03:03OK, well. Hey.

- 1:03:19was. Watching it's on you point
- 1:03:20that's. Bro, there's no way we're about
- 1:03:21to get into this right now. No, we.

- 1:03:24just like you could just go on the website yo yeah I I don't
- 1:03:28know what the website was it was like on a quest I think it was I
- 1:03:31seen. Those.
- 1:03:31Videos you went on a quest or like, oh the headset Quest it's
- 1:03:36like. It's on the headset.
- 1:03:37It's like you wanted that. Went on a quest, you went on a
- 1:03:39fucking 3 1/2 mile quest bro. You had to walk it, find it.
- 1:03:43Anyone ever play Skyrim? That's a old game.
- 1:03:48Is that old? Yeah.
- 1:03:49What is that? Oblivion is a old game.
- 1:03:51What is that? Oblivion was like the first one
- 1:03:53Skyrim I didn't play, but Oblivion was like, you're like a
- 1:03:56fucking you. Look like a fucking Skyrim guy.
- 1:03:58I. Tried it but.
- 1:04:00I had buddies that played like Runescape.
- 1:04:01That was probably. Like my that was that was a time
- 1:04:04to be alive, but we didn't have anything else.
- 1:04:05What is that? Is that like a?
- 1:04:07Runescape, it was like. It.
- 1:04:09Was like swords and. Modern Minecraft?
- 1:04:11Kidding me? You don't know what Runescape
- 1:04:12was. Nope.
- 1:04:13Malcolm. What is Oblivion considered like
- 1:04:15RPG. Is that what it's?
- 1:04:16RPG. OK, Runescape is like.
- 1:04:18A MMO. MMO.
- 1:04:20Yeah, man, it's a momo. What's?
- 1:04:22What is it now? MMO.
- 1:04:23Massive multiplayer online and then RPG.
- 1:04:26It's like they combine. Oh, OK, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:04:30I mean, it's fun, but then you're sitting there and you're
- 1:04:32like, wow, I'm a fucking loser. Like that's just what goes
- 1:04:37through my mind and then I'm out.
- 1:04:39My neighbor growing up. Shout out Kyle, I wonder.
- 1:04:42God forbid you. Fucking listen to this shit I'm
- 1:04:43talking. About like RPGs he bought a
- 1:04:45house with grinding out accounts.
- 1:04:49Like he would make an account do whatever the fuck.
- 1:04:51And sell. It that's wow to grow the
- 1:04:53account and sell the account. That's totally what game has a
- 1:04:56house. That's for lazy people that
- 1:04:58don't want to achieve. The game so.
- 1:05:00They just take the. Left.
- 1:05:01Yeah, people do that. Like when it first started, like
- 1:05:04where you went into the wilderness and everybody killed
- 1:05:05you or whatever. I wouldn't know what that game
- 1:05:08is. It was the most.
- 1:05:10Weird as. Hell, boring game in my opinion.
- 1:05:12That was early where you could go.
- 1:05:15Yo I'm getting online bro. That wasn't Xbox Live.
- 1:05:18But just to come back this time, I think that's what's crazy
- 1:05:21because like, we grew up like wasting our time playing Call of
- 1:05:23Duty. Like they're just staying here
- 1:05:26hours on a set of like, the only way to keep up is by joining
- 1:05:30them really, and just trying to get the set of time, too.
- 1:05:33Yeah, and like travelling to Drift, you're nervous about
- 1:05:36driving a new track. Yeah, that too.
- 1:05:37But like we just took a trip to Alabama and for like we would
- 1:05:41drive mid pond and we would drive driven luck on the SIM.
- 1:05:45But we we went really hard when we we had this Alabama trip laid
- 1:05:49out. We're like, all right, we're
- 1:05:50going to drive these tracks hard on the SIM until they're
- 1:05:52annoying. So when we show up first lap
- 1:05:54out, we're linking the track. Like not running doors, but
- 1:05:58yeah, we're driving. Closer, yeah, it's a lot easier
- 1:06:00to drive once you've driven there, I guess in the simulation
- 1:06:03world or whatever, dude. You figure out the lines, like
- 1:06:06just the line. Yeah, just the line.
- 1:06:08Like Driven Luck just did an update too, Like shout out
- 1:06:11Driven Luck there if you have, if you have the means to get
- 1:06:15down to Alabama, go see these tracks.
- 1:06:18Yeah. It's so sick.
- 1:06:20I forgot the author brother's name, Quinn.
- 1:06:23Put me on the spot. I know I forgot, I'm sorry, but
- 1:06:25they're really I. I met him at mid pond first.
- 1:06:28Yeah. And so there's 2 tracks now in
- 1:06:30Alabama that are. Yeah, there's that Mahon looking
- 1:06:32one that you guys. Went to yeah, we stayed in
- 1:06:34Airbnb halfway so like we couldn't go to the one track and
- 1:06:38not hit the other. They're about like 3 1/2 hours
- 1:06:41apart. We stayed in Airbnb in the
- 1:06:43middle and hit we hit the mid ponds further South so we went
- 1:06:47there first Saturday, stayed at the Airbnb Saturday night.
- 1:06:51Sunday we went to Driven Luck and drove home.
- 1:06:53It's a good idea. Yeah, so we get 2 tracks, yeah.
- 1:06:56But we went right out there and like, do the lines translate
- 1:06:59like right around mid pond? 1000% everything.
- 1:07:02Yeah, yeah, Like it's, it's really cool being able to like
- 1:07:05train. It feels like we're not wasting
- 1:07:07time the way other people are on video games.
- 1:07:09It's. Like yeah, no, single edition
- 1:07:11driving is definitely not a waste of time.
- 1:07:13I. Hate explaining it like that to
- 1:07:15people, but yeah, it kind of is kind of going.
- 1:07:17It's pretty active. You burn.
- 1:07:19Calories. Real.
- 1:07:20You sound nerdy saying it, but. Like for fucking hours you're
- 1:07:23playing sweating. You're definitely getting the.
- 1:07:26Ultimate challenge is going to be someday when we go to Japan,
- 1:07:29if there's translate, because we spend a lot of time on like
- 1:07:33Mahon and Bhoku, like. I mean look at the people that
- 1:07:38went, they are big simmers right dude?
- 1:07:41Diego, Diego and them when they went, Diego was like, Yep, this
- 1:07:45is exactly the same. That's where I that's.
- 1:07:46Where I met Diego was at that track.
- 1:07:48Oh yeah, I think he told me he was just like Frankie.
- 1:07:51Yeah, he's like, what's up? I'm Diego.
- 1:07:53I'm Carl's friend. I'm like, oh, what's up, man?
- 1:07:55Yeah, I think he said. Frankie told me I looked a lot
- 1:07:59more normal than he thought. No.
- 1:08:00Way. Yes he did.
- 1:08:02Yes he did. Yes, he did.
- 1:08:04You gotta remember what you say to people.
- 1:08:05Sometimes. That's crazy.
- 1:08:07That's what he said. I might have said that.
- 1:08:09Yes, you definitely did. Hey man, but he drives really
- 1:08:13well. They all drive well, yeah, like
- 1:08:15they went out there and dude, that's the ultimate dream.
- 1:08:18Like, how long were they out there?
- 1:08:19Couple. Weeks, right?
- 1:08:20Yeah. They fucking created a life out
- 1:08:21there. That's when they were out there.
- 1:08:22I was like, yeah, I don't know if they're ever gonna come.
- 1:08:25Back. I'm sitting here trying to
- 1:08:26figure out how you all managed to go down there and like, they
- 1:08:29do all that. Meanwhile, they're over in Japan
- 1:08:30for like a month. Dude doing just whatever buying
- 1:08:33cars. Streaming.
- 1:08:34Around. Just doing stuff.
- 1:08:37You guys could. That's the dream.
- 1:08:38Anybody can do that though, which is wild.
- 1:08:40Oh, that's a goal for sure. I was we were all in the group
- 1:08:43chat listening to them. Plan it, sound good, find
- 1:08:45everything, coordinate everything.
- 1:08:47Like that stuff all takes effort and they just put in all the
- 1:08:52effort. It's definitely possible.
- 1:08:54Dude and the green car that was there, I don't know if you met
- 1:08:57him as well, but that's our other friend Brad and he just
- 1:08:59drives like fuck. That you clip of him on that
- 1:09:03guardrail. Yeah, he's fucking.
- 1:09:05Crazy. Shut up, Brad.
- 1:09:06I miss Brad. Do you know the guy who lives
- 1:09:09there that listens to the podcast?
- 1:09:12What? There was a guy that lives in
- 1:09:13Japan and he was there and he flipped his shit.
- 1:09:16Tim. Yeah, that guy was cool.
- 1:09:17He fucked his shit. Up.
- 1:09:18Yeah. Hey man, Tim, I miss you buddy.
- 1:09:21Yeah, we're like looking out. We're like, oh, yo, oh shit.
- 1:09:24Yeah, that was the guy we just met.
- 1:09:25That was. I was.
- 1:09:27Like Oh my God, that car was nice.
- 1:09:29Well. You broke blowing him up, don't
- 1:09:30fucking. I mean, it was he was, he was
- 1:09:32stoked. Was that one entry?
- 1:09:34Yeah. I think everyone flips a car in
- 1:09:36Japan at some point it sounds. And they seem excited about it
- 1:09:39so. It's kind of a cool bucket, like
- 1:09:40it's. Like.
- 1:09:41A flip a car in Japan I rather. Good if he's okay and healthy
- 1:09:45and all right, Comes out unscathed.
- 1:09:46We're all laughing about it, you know?
- 1:09:49Yeah, I remember, like walking up to him, I was like, damn,
- 1:09:51fucked that shit up. He's like, yeah, whatever.
- 1:09:54I'm like, all right. Cool, he's.
- 1:09:56Just getting negative as hell with that reef.
- 1:09:58Yeah, I was like, damn, man, that thing fucked me Roof up.
- 1:10:00Yeah, He's like, yeah, whatever. I'm like, all right.
- 1:10:03Cool. People that are in Japan are
- 1:10:04crazy, though. I was watching shirts tucked in.
- 1:10:07I don't know if you guys watch him.
- 1:10:08He lived over there. Yeah.
- 1:10:09You seen that big? It was like an S13 with a
- 1:10:12radiator on the roof or something like that.
- 1:10:14Or an intercooler. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
- 1:10:16I had, like the piping all the way past the windshield.
- 1:10:18Yeah. All the.
- 1:10:20You have to see. Yeah, you ever see something
- 1:10:22like that? No, I have not.
- 1:10:24Yeah, that intermounted intercool you don't know about.
- 1:10:26That I know, I'm just trying. To catch up on crazy.
- 1:10:28Dude, the roof mounted. Intercool.
- 1:10:29The rear mounted turbo thing with ZS is weird.
- 1:10:33With ZS, yeah, they do that a lot, right?
- 1:10:35Yeah. I think someone like released a
- 1:10:37kit like a a cheaper kit. It's cheaper to do because it's
- 1:10:41basically you're not doing anything with the headers or a
- 1:10:45down pipe, you're kind of just inlining it in your exhaust.
- 1:10:47So you just take the muffer off the back and slap the turbo?
- 1:10:53On Really. That's.
- 1:10:55An issue have. You seen like a SRT8 Jeep, they
- 1:10:57do the same thing Where those. No, Malcolm, can you please look
- 1:11:00that up? I'd rather see it.
- 1:11:02Some drag Jeeps, they're like stock everything and they'll
- 1:11:04just slap a turbo on it and tune up the.
- 1:11:06Boost yeah, because this is how this happened.
- 1:11:09I was in the IS it was it was stock still.
- 1:11:12It was during COVID. I'm driving and I swear I saw
- 1:11:15like something in the back that didn't look like a can, like a
- 1:11:19muffler. Yeah.
- 1:11:21I was like. Like a Lambo?
- 1:11:22What the fuck? Was that?
- 1:11:23And then I look closer and closer and there's just a turbo.
- 1:11:27Those are under the fucking middle of the car.
- 1:11:29Yeah. Well, yeah, those are right by
- 1:11:30the transmission. I've seen there's this other guy
- 1:11:32that he goes to, he dressed at West Virginia a lot and he
- 1:11:34actually cut his gas tank in half and like put the turbo
- 1:11:37right like near the gas can. The.
- 1:11:40Gas tank, but it's similar, like it's underneath the car.
- 1:11:42I've seen people where they put it like by the transmission.
- 1:11:45That's like real tight there. I love how the air filters are
- 1:11:47down there too. Like that's where.
- 1:11:49Yeah, that's that's the best shit fighting for.
- 1:11:51It's like driving that shit right there.
- 1:11:53The one with the arrow. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:11:55See, so that that's something. But on AG37 I saw it on the
- 1:11:59street and I was like, what the fuck did I just see down there?
- 1:12:03And then I heard it. It was Boost. 747 SRT.
- 1:12:06They're trying to look like Lambos.
- 1:12:08Yeah, yeah, whistle on diesel. Will will that really I mean?
- 1:12:14I don't. Know shit?
- 1:12:14If you had an exhaust leak, you're losing power.
- 1:12:17Wonder what's great, What's like a boost lag like with that?
- 1:12:20Yeah. That's what I think I heard that
- 1:12:22see, So I looked into it and tried to find information on it
- 1:12:25and people fight that. There's not really a lag because
- 1:12:30it's going to have to travel out the exhaust anyway.
- 1:12:32But then some people are like, I mean.
- 1:12:34All I can, all I want to say right now is if, if those setups
- 1:12:36don't have any turbo lag, everyone can shut the fuck up
- 1:12:39about oh you need the high mount intercooler, you need to shut
- 1:12:42the fuck up. Oh, is that?
- 1:12:43Is that what it? They always say that like oh you
- 1:12:45need the short intercooler pipes, meanwhile it's got the
- 1:12:48short. Because everyone have me
- 1:12:50convinced you're gonna get rid of it.
- 1:12:51Meanwhile, everyone's got turbos in their trunk.
- 1:12:54Yeah, with like 40 feet of fucking a little.
- 1:12:57Like these shits have fucking displacement, you know what I
- 1:12:59mean? Yeah, that's yeah.
- 1:13:00So for his 3335, you probably. Won't even notice like what it
- 1:13:04would be, but if you had that turbo up front it would probably
- 1:13:07be crazy. There's someone I know Chris
- 1:13:10Coleman. He won our we hosted like a
- 1:13:12little comp. He's a real big SIM driver.
- 1:13:15He drives in real life too. He's got a green ZI think he
- 1:13:17drives like Richmond a lot. He bought a side by side.
- 1:13:22Now he's a big side by side guy. So he's like out of drifting a
- 1:13:24little bit, but he still has the Z, but he has one set up like
- 1:13:28this and like. On the Z.
- 1:13:31Yeah, I thought you were saying the side.
- 1:13:32By side that's what I was that would have.
- 1:13:34Been so Tony Martin Shit, yeah. So how does he like it?
- 1:13:37He likes it, I mean. Do you know what turbo it is?
- 1:13:40I don't, but he goes through tires.
- 1:13:43So we always talk about wanting to like add nitrous or add boost
- 1:13:48to our cars. But like these dude, they just
- 1:13:51out-of-the-box, they have the power and we can go to like
- 1:13:54Summit or Pocono S course and run one set of tires all weekend
- 1:13:58like they're seat time cars. We put you put the eBay aluminum
- 1:14:02rad. We don't even have coils up
- 1:14:03front like aluminum. Rad oil cooler, power steering
- 1:14:06cooler. These cars go like you just got
- 1:14:08to keep them cool. The power steering pumps will
- 1:14:10blow. If you don't do a power steering
- 1:14:12cooler, they're gone. Oil cooler adds extra oil to the
- 1:14:15system. Yeah, it's a.
- 1:14:17It's a super simple set up. Honestly, our cars are real
- 1:14:19basic. All of our cars have the exact
- 1:14:21same thing. I feel like it helps a lot with
- 1:14:23driving too. Yeah, I agree.
- 1:14:25Like I had the GK tech off the bat.
- 1:14:27Yeah, it was harder for them to, I guess.
- 1:14:29You could tell them what I do like following you like us
- 1:14:33having less angle we. Just had the bolt on kit and he
- 1:14:35had the upper and lower control arms, so he had a little more
- 1:14:37angle. So then we all got the GK tech
- 1:14:40kit because we wanted, we want to drive well as a team.
- 1:14:44And I, we think that if you set them up the same, they're going
- 1:14:46to drive the same that's. Probably why you guys look so
- 1:14:48good together too, because the cars are.
- 1:14:50I mean, down to the lineman spec, yeah, ankle and cutter.
- 1:14:55And keeping the engine stock like if one of you turbos or
- 1:14:57something then you all have to do it and then.
- 1:14:59Yeah that's literally what happened.
- 1:15:01I got a three nine like Nismo DIF and I was like yo this is so
- 1:15:04good you guys have to try it and now they just you guys just got
- 1:15:08the four O 9. Yeah, we just got the four O 9
- 1:15:11final drive from Z1 that we're going to have in so we can like
- 1:15:14use third. What was the?
- 1:15:16It was 3/5 is the factory. 35 is factory for a manual and then a
- 1:15:19three three is automatic. Because I have ACD 2, but I have
- 1:15:23a, I have a three nine in mind. So now I'm like, Dang.
- 1:15:26So it wasn't too far off from like AZ's gearing.
- 1:15:30Yeah, the Nismo DIF is a three nine.
- 1:15:32Everyone says like Haze, Matt from Haze and everyone they just
- 1:15:35they say the CD four O 9 is just the formula with the CD.
- 1:15:41So you said the Nismo, So like the Nismo Z?
- 1:15:43Nismo Z came with the three nine.
- 1:15:45That's what he has. Like he found a Nismo diff and
- 1:15:48has that 39. So we'll be on 4/09 and he's on.
- 1:15:51Three, that's Nissans way of upgrading the car and just throw
- 1:15:53a different rear end and I think it's fast is.
- 1:15:55That really change up the gear. I mean it.
- 1:15:57Makes the whole car feel different.
- 1:15:59I mean, you're not like 5th gear drifting, so you do notice a big
- 1:16:02difference. Yeah, like I can.
- 1:16:04It was a big difference from usable third gear.
- 1:16:06Yeah, I had like A-35 and going to a three 9 is so nice.
- 1:16:10I can use third gear. It's actually useful.
- 1:16:12Because like we, we enter in 3rd but we like we can only drive in
- 1:16:163rd somewhere like Summit you got to be gone like 70 miles an.
- 1:16:19Hour like on third other than. That it's just banging limiter
- 1:16:22on 2nd because third just. Balls sounds like SR20.
- 1:16:24Yeah, third. 3rd I want to do third gear on that main like.
- 1:16:30The backy corner at something. After the backy corner.
- 1:16:33There's this really long one. It's like a.
- 1:16:35Yeah. 3rd gear just. It's fast but.
- 1:16:39You have the fastest I've ever heard a lot I feel.
- 1:16:41Like I act cuz second gear 39 with.
- 1:16:43The thing, it's just fucking short.
- 1:16:45Yeah, yeah. But then it's a one J so I just
- 1:16:48fucking just. Let her eat.
- 1:16:51Chris Xenophone he's Is that how you say it, Xenophone?
- 1:16:53I have no idea, but that's how it looks.
- 1:16:55Yeah, he. He's on the other line and we
- 1:16:57see him at or maybe it's a four O 8, who knows, But we see him a
- 1:17:02lot at Poconos and stuff and he he told us like it's the best
- 1:17:05thing you can do. So we're he's more entering and
- 1:17:084th driving and 3rd. So basically it just pushes
- 1:17:10everything up a gear and I think third gear is longer, so we'll
- 1:17:12have a longer range of. Power.
- 1:17:15Is that correct? NA car.
- 1:17:17Yeah, his is AI, don't know HR. I don't know a lot about it.
- 1:17:20I just know it's that purple one, right?
- 1:17:22Yeah. Yeah, I was going to ask you
- 1:17:23guys, are you guys are all DES or like what is it?
- 1:17:25Yeah, DE. Oh, OK.
- 1:17:26You're all in the same engine too.
- 1:17:27That's why they all run good. Yeah, DES are good.
- 1:17:30I heard that that is the formula.
- 1:17:32Yeah, let's hear about this because I don't really know too
- 1:17:33much about. Is the HR bad?
- 1:17:35Well, I thought that was a good one.
- 1:17:36I think the people that like the HRS and don't like the DES are
- 1:17:39like the takeover type of people.
- 1:17:42Because they just think it's better like.
- 1:17:44Yeah, everybody tells you when you buy a 350Z, make sure you
- 1:17:47don't get the DE. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:17:49But when they blow up, I mean we can go get another $600.00 DE
- 1:17:54where HR is what? How much is the HR going for?
- 1:17:56Two 1500 or? Something probably like 2002,
- 1:17:59$1000 so. Yeah.
- 1:18:02So what 30 horsepower it's. I think it's like 3030 more
- 1:18:05horsepower. Which one was in the car the
- 1:18:07longest? The DE.
- 1:18:09Yeah, the DE. 2003 to oh. 5:03 to 05:00 and then they went to
- 1:18:13Rev up and it was 6 and 07/08 was HR.
- 1:18:18So Rev Up was only one year. Yeah.
- 1:18:19Well, Rev up, I think it was 05, like a certain 05 and then it
- 1:18:23was 06. All of them were Rev. Up.
- 1:18:24The Rev. Up and the DE, are those compatible with each other
- 1:18:27or not really? They you have to get a naturally
- 1:18:32or a Nats for the ECU. I know that because I had AI,
- 1:18:37went from a HR chassis and just put my D in it.
- 1:18:42That sounds like a nightmare. It wasn't a wiring thing too.
- 1:18:45Yeah, it was actually pretty simple with just getting John
- 1:18:48Kerr to do the Nats delete on the ECU.
- 1:18:51But I personally I would avoid going the Rev up because if you
- 1:18:58already have the Rev up chassis you can only put you can't just
- 1:19:02slap AD in it. Yeah, you have to put a Rev up
- 1:19:04in it. Like the Rev up is like they
- 1:19:06they have like V type basically and like, but you lose, I think
- 1:19:10you lose that power somewhere like in the beginning.
- 1:19:12So it's not worth it. And if you like, say you blow
- 1:19:15your Rev up, good luck finding one first.
- 1:19:17Of all, yeah. One year, and if you do find one
- 1:19:20it's probably going to be like $3000 which is fucking stupid.
- 1:19:24So the one you don't want is a Rev. Up.
- 1:19:25Yeah, you don't want the Rev up if.
- 1:19:27You end up with a Rev up, just swap a DE in it and get the Nets
- 1:19:30tune on the ECU and call it done.
- 1:19:32So you can swap a DE into the Rev up chassis if you need to
- 1:19:35though. Yeah, you can, yeah.
- 1:19:36That's why I need stuff. Yeah, right now I'm planning to
- 1:19:39look hopefully. I bought a cage from not a cage.
- 1:19:42I bought a shell for my car that I'm going to be re shelling over
- 1:19:45this offseason. But it's a really bad shell.
- 1:19:48Like it was really rusted and it I didn't know it was hit.
- 1:19:51And actually the the fucking yeah, it's crumbled.
- 1:19:54You can see the the what's wrong transition.
- 1:19:56Which one's the best pudding? Remember the old pictures?
- 1:20:01Yeah, I have. Think of that.
- 1:20:02I had a clean car, which was that black one with the nice
- 1:20:04wheels. Yeah, slowly beat it up and it's
- 1:20:07twisted like the whole rear end is smashed in.
- 1:20:09Whatever the the frame is pretty fucked up.
- 1:20:12Yeah, nothing latches. There's a picture on my account
- 1:20:14of my hatch just flying up. It was at vibes they were doing
- 1:20:18like the back E comp and my hatch flew up and shattered.
- 1:20:22Oh God, those things are heavy too.
- 1:20:23Oh my God, dude. Those things are.
- 1:20:25So very. Heavy, yeah.
- 1:20:27Yeah, slight flex. I moved one all by myself the
- 1:20:30other day, you know what I mean? I walked about like 5 feet with
- 1:20:33it. Yo.
- 1:20:34The doors too. The doors too are heavy as hell.
- 1:20:36But anyways. Those doors look heavy.
- 1:20:38I got this white show that I was going to be swapping into.
- 1:20:40It's another DE so it was going to be easy, but it's like all
- 1:20:43messed up. So hopefully I'm going to look
- 1:20:45at a show that's. So you're not going to do it
- 1:20:47now? Well, no, I need to.
- 1:20:49I already threw the car away. I threw the old one out and
- 1:20:52everything. So OK, I'm finding another one
- 1:20:54this weekend. I'm going to look at one that's
- 1:20:56already caged, so that will save me like having to get a cage and
- 1:20:58stuff like that because yeah, like the gear change for them,
- 1:21:01the cages for us all the like, you know, that's.
- 1:21:03Kind of a big winter, yeah. We're going to, hopefully.
- 1:21:06Everybody's kind of cranking this.
- 1:21:08Winter, yeah, like last winter is when we came out with like
- 1:21:10our kits and wheels and paint. This year we want to like be
- 1:21:14able to run tandems at at, We want to be able to run tandems
- 1:21:18at all tracks once they allow us to like obviously we got to earn
- 1:21:20our spots, but we just want to, we wanted to be caged to be able
- 1:21:24to do it because once we tandem after running tandems, we just
- 1:21:29single runs just don't do it for us.
- 1:21:30I know Carl likes. To I, it's a weird appreciation.
- 1:21:33I just. I'm still like you.
- 1:21:35Can I'm a different entries but I'm like.
- 1:21:37When you're in the front, when you're in the front, you're kind
- 1:21:40of doing a single. That's what every time I'm up
- 1:21:42front I'm like, yeah, this is my lap right now, but you have to
- 1:21:44throw everything. But you have the pressure, the
- 1:21:46people behind you so. Just try not to think about it.
- 1:21:49I try to cut it out. When I think of the pressure,
- 1:21:51then I'm like, yeah, I'm fucking this up right now.
- 1:21:54Like, yeah, bomb. But here it is.
- 1:21:56Like I'm spinning. I'm seeing Ethan.
- 1:21:57I'm like, ah, like there he comes.
- 1:22:00Some people will drive better with the pressure and some
- 1:22:02people don't, but eventually they get the people that don't
- 1:22:04get used to it and they're fine. But like me, I drive way better
- 1:22:08with people behind me because I'm in my head.
- 1:22:10I'm like, I can't. Fuck this up.
- 1:22:11I think it's like that too. I know I got to fuck it, but we
- 1:22:13got the producer for that I feel like.
- 1:22:15If you have somebody in the car with you when you're about to
- 1:22:17throw your lab hyping you up, it just takes that away, man.
- 1:22:19It just gets you like, alright, alright, I got to lock in right
- 1:22:22now. I like, so I grew up wrestling
- 1:22:25and I coach wrestling for a high school, so I like volunteer.
- 1:22:27What the fuck? Yeah.
- 1:22:29That's that's good for you. Yeah.
- 1:22:31Like got married, three kids. Yeah.
- 1:22:33Like yo-yo, Nate's responsible. As fuck.
- 1:22:36What's with that? Chairman responsibility, dude,
- 1:22:38that. Whoever sits there, yeah, yeah.
- 1:22:42But so I I got into it, my brother was a senior year, he
- 1:22:44was going in the Marine. So I just want to spend more
- 1:22:46time with him. And so I wanted to help out at
- 1:22:50wrestling to get into it, to spend time with them.
- 1:22:52And then I just I'm hooked with the kids.
- 1:22:54Like every year. It's my fourth year, yeah, my
- 1:22:574th year. And go to practice like 4:00,
- 1:23:01like 4:00 to 6:00, come home, make dinner and shout out to
- 1:23:07Ariana, my woman. She she's a trooper through the
- 1:23:10winter too. Like I coach wrestling, come
- 1:23:11home, eat dinner and then hop on the SIM right away.
- 1:23:14Put in like a good two hours and then we might watch a show for
- 1:23:17like 30-45 minutes. Thirty.
- 1:23:19Minutes. Yeah, babe, I got 30 and then I
- 1:23:22got to get on. I have to like designate certain
- 1:23:25days to spend more time with her in the evenings.
- 1:23:27Dude, make sure you do that, man, because yeah, we're not
- 1:23:30going to be we as a, as a, as the car people.
- 1:23:33We're not going to be the reason why your life gets ruined, bro.
- 1:23:36Don't. Do not let that happen.
- 1:23:37Happy wife, happy life. OK.
- 1:23:39Whatever you say, man. I don't got any of those.
- 1:23:42Like I'm fucking over here just fighting for my life, dude.
- 1:23:45Just. He's like happy life.
- 1:23:47Yeah, happy life bro. I open the fridge, I'm like
- 1:23:49fuck. On.
- 1:23:50Wrestling, like the pressure, like in wrestling, it's just you
- 1:23:53and that person out there. There's no like nervousness,
- 1:23:55feeling that you get in other things.
- 1:23:58Until I found like drifting, like not like you play into the
- 1:24:03pressure, like if you like competing.
- 1:24:05When we did the twin drift thing, like that was the first
- 1:24:07time I felt like that real good nervousness for like you got to
- 1:24:11overcome that nervousness and and perform.
- 1:24:13It's kind of just performing in pressure kind of thing and like.
- 1:24:16Yeah, yeah. And everybody has that, Yeah.
- 1:24:18And I can just imagine like one of our big goals is going to
- 1:24:21final bout that's basically like the styling we're going for and
- 1:24:24stuff like that. Yeah.
- 1:24:25And I think we could do it. It's just that pressure, the
- 1:24:28initial pressure of the first time being there and we're all
- 1:24:31gonna be saying. That's gonna feel crazy.
- 1:24:32It's gonna feel, I know it's gonna feel crazy, and that's
- 1:24:34something that is just part of. Everybody has that feeling.
- 1:24:37I know dude, I not that I'd love I feel like I've.
- 1:24:40See, like I choke. I choke on that pressure for
- 1:24:43some reason every time. So then what I'm doing in the
- 1:24:47car is I'm literally just sitting there trying to la di
- 1:24:49da. Because if it's just a normal
- 1:24:51day, I know any one of us could drive fine.
- 1:24:56So if I'm just thinking in there like OK, this is just going to
- 1:24:58be. So you try to play it cool.
- 1:25:00Yeah, every single like that one.
- 1:25:02'S behind me. Remember that one day there was
- 1:25:03one lap Finally got Frankie in the car.
- 1:25:06It's in the video but or in the video on the Faction channel?
- 1:25:09I don't think that's. When I was in your car.
- 1:25:10Yeah. And but I, I purposely am in
- 1:25:13there. Absolutely.
- 1:25:14I'm like an idiot because Frankie's in there.
- 1:25:17So I'm going, Yeah, like fucking throwing my hands up in the air,
- 1:25:20fucking throwing a turn, letting go of my hands.
- 1:25:22Like fucking it was fine, yeah. But if there was a train of.
- 1:25:27People. But if there was a train of
- 1:25:28people behind me and I know I can't fuck up, he'd be like, oh
- 1:25:31shit, like. You could practice that on the
- 1:25:34SIM too like common Berry server and run front of the train with
- 1:25:4025 people and don't screw. Up I'm the same way.
- 1:25:42I get in like my head and like over analyze like what if like
- 1:25:46what if I mess I enter here and spin out and I mean I've I mean
- 1:25:50I've messed up some chassis spinning out in front of the
- 1:25:53curl. It happens.
- 1:25:55It's funny. 'Cause he he gets.
- 1:25:57We do sometimes we do like SIM comps and stuff like that.
- 1:25:59And he gets scared on the SIM. You can and I'm sitting there,
- 1:26:02I'm like you, I'm so locked in. I'm ready for this shit.
- 1:26:04And I'm like, yo, let's you here.
- 1:26:05So yeah, I'm here. And then it goes for the first
- 1:26:08run. Dude's just like, I'm like, yo,
- 1:26:11you're supposed to go this way, what's going on?
- 1:26:12Like, I promise he knows how to drift.
- 1:26:13Wait, what's going on? I completely forget everything.
- 1:26:16See, dude, maybe you gotta just hit the lani da, hit the lani da
- 1:26:20mentality that I'm doing. I've been there fucking looking
- 1:26:23at the sky and. Shit, wait, let's back up.
- 1:26:25You said you you've messed up a few chassis before.
- 1:26:29I would say so. Before simming we would always
- 1:26:32try to like catch doors, like surging up at wrong times, and
- 1:26:36that's the worst thing to do if you're trying to like get close
- 1:26:39tandems. You need.
- 1:26:40That would be the most force is right there.
- 1:26:42Exactly. So.
- 1:26:43Yeah, so the. One the worst time was at ready
- 1:26:47set. I dad just put no, I didn't put
- 1:26:50my angle Cate on. I was just put mine on.
- 1:26:52It was us four and then Ethan in the back.
- 1:26:55I was leading. And and Sean, Ethan and Sean I.
- 1:26:58Was behind? No, it was just yeah, all the
- 1:27:00way in the back. No.
- 1:27:03Who's holding it back? You were in the front.
- 1:27:04Of Matt, they're naughtless. I was in the front 5 car
- 1:27:07training. I spun and ended up someone hit
- 1:27:11me and Sean came in and just hit me because we were all just
- 1:27:15trying to surge up on one corner.
- 1:27:16I spun out while everyone trying to surge up.
- 1:27:18It was like accordion and just boom.
- 1:27:21And those are heavy ass cars. Not yeah.
- 1:27:23Ethan, I mean. There's actually, there's a
- 1:27:26Chad. It was.
- 1:27:26Sean's. Oh, Sean.
- 1:27:28Yeah, Sean, Yeah. But he fixed it if you go
- 1:27:30through that. I felt I didn't even drive like
- 1:27:32I paid for the next day. I loaded up and I just went
- 1:27:34home. I felt so bad after that.
- 1:27:36Yeah, that's the worst feeling, yeah.
- 1:27:38Because my car wasn't even messed up, everyone avoided me
- 1:27:41and everyone behind me like destroyed their cars.
- 1:27:44We all did it like we've all, we all did it that year.
- 1:27:48We all spun at least once and caused something.
- 1:27:50And like the biggest thing that we realized is the the big
- 1:27:54wrecks happen. Like we drive well together.
- 1:27:58It's always when there's like more cars that you're not
- 1:28:02normally driving, like the big trains is when this stuff
- 1:28:04happens. So it's always like, even if
- 1:28:06it's, it's not even any of the other people in the line, it
- 1:28:10would just be like you just you made a mistake and it happened
- 1:28:13to be all. Five cars are.
- 1:28:14There you just felt impression. You made a mistake.
- 1:28:16If it's like the worst possible time to make a mistake, it's
- 1:28:18fine. Yeah.
- 1:28:19Like last year we did this, this last past year, we, we made a
- 1:28:22point to try and like drive with just ourselves and we have like
- 1:28:26people we drive with too. But it was that that wreck that
- 1:28:30we were talking about wasn't anybody's fault, was like I.
- 1:28:33Spun out. It's always going to feel like.
- 1:28:35But but it also is. It could be other people's.
- 1:28:38Fault like for not knowing how we actually get away?
- 1:28:41Yeah, deal. With it, dude, SIM with that,
- 1:28:43with the React, with the accident, I call it accident
- 1:28:46avoidance, Yeah. Like don't hit the reset.
- 1:28:49Don't hit the reset. Don't hit the reset.
- 1:28:50Don't hit the reset. No one hit the.
- 1:28:52Reset so that unless you're somebody.
- 1:28:54Hitting unless you're sitting still, like facing the entry.
- 1:28:57Yeah, like, but if you let me get one.
- 1:28:59To learn what we do, yeah. Wait, so if you hit reset you
- 1:29:02disappear but the lap goes on? Oh yeah.
- 1:29:04You go right to the pits like you're trying.
- 1:29:06To get you SO. It's realistic, yeah.
- 1:29:07Go back to the pits. I want to practice it, like
- 1:29:10practice getting out, spin out. I have.
- 1:29:11I have. Smoke on in VR.
- 1:29:14So like if somebody's spinning crazy, like, oh, kiss, I'm like
- 1:29:17fucking going all of a sudden car boom, yeah, I'm like, Yep,
- 1:29:21that would have been it. There's that thought in your
- 1:29:24head, because that's wood. Town at night with smoke
- 1:29:28everywhere. I can't.
- 1:29:29Scariest shit I've ever been drifted in my life.
- 1:29:31And astigmatism. At night, though?
- 1:29:335. At night was English town
- 1:29:34doesn't even really have lights. Dude, no, it was terrible.
- 1:29:36No. Evergreen.
- 1:29:37You drive well at Evergreen at night too.
- 1:29:38Evergreen at night is I fucking love Evergreen at night every.
- 1:29:42Green night session. Still have Evergreen?
- 1:29:44Evergreen 9. O'clock Evergreen Last class
- 1:29:47Yeah, the last session of the day is so sick, so sick.
- 1:29:49You're familiar with Evergreen, right?
- 1:29:51I'm not. He has.
- 1:29:52Oh my bro familiar with it you. Would just love it over there, I
- 1:29:56mean. I'm pretty familiar with it now
- 1:29:57because we talked about so many times.
- 1:29:58I mean, yeah, we know that. Yeah, and the, the trains that
- 1:30:03they run there, it's insane. There's all the way to the left
- 1:30:05towards the wall is a party line.
- 1:30:07So if you get in that line, you have to go.
- 1:30:08Yeah. It doesn't matter who's in.
- 1:30:10It doesn't matter. You don't look back.
- 1:30:11You don't throw up a number. You like, sit there and go like
- 1:30:12this. And you're like, I'm ready.
- 1:30:13I'm ready. And like, I don't know if I
- 1:30:16talked about my first time drifting, I how old was I?
- 1:30:18I was 18 years old. I was working at Wendy's.
- 1:30:21I bought AE 36. This was I already had a 350Z as
- 1:30:24my daily as I saved up all my money, bought a 350 ZI was
- 1:30:28seeing all this cool drifting going.
- 1:30:29I was like, I want to do that so bad.
- 1:30:31And I didn't want to mess up the 350Z because it was my dream car
- 1:30:34you would say at the moment. So I saved up and I got to E36
- 1:30:37because that's what I was seeing online with what I would watch.
- 1:30:41And 1st track was Evergreen. We would go to Evergreen and I
- 1:30:44was learning how to drift on the L track.
- 1:30:46They have two tracks. There's an L track that nobody
- 1:30:48if it drives anymore, I think we should shut it down.
- 1:30:50I'll check sick. You could do a sick entry.
- 1:30:54Well, a lot of a lot of people there always want to shut it
- 1:30:56down and make it into pits because I don't know if you
- 1:30:58guys, you've been to Eve Green lately.
- 1:31:00It gets really, really packed. Is it bad really?
- 1:31:02There's no room anywhere because it's so cheap.
- 1:31:05To drive smash, I mean, we're part for them.
- 1:31:07We're great up in L track because there was just no
- 1:31:09parking in. Yeah, yeah, that's another thing
- 1:31:12too. Thank you for harping on that,
- 1:31:14Nate. But like, it is good.
- 1:31:16It's good it's been for them, but that kind of sucks.
- 1:31:19They would close it down. Yeah.
- 1:31:21For pits. Yeah.
- 1:31:22But so you were saying. But yeah, that's the, that's
- 1:31:25basically the first track I learned to drift on.
- 1:31:27And then from there, I think we went to RSD was a couple of
- 1:31:31times we went to RSD and then when I started, yeah, when I
- 1:31:33started meeting them, I've never been to RSD with the red car.
- 1:31:37So this is what happened. I had the the E36 that I painted
- 1:31:41red. I would always drive it at
- 1:31:42Evergreen and I ended up crashing it a bunch of times at
- 1:31:45Evergreen. I, I cut it up the one winter
- 1:31:48and I welded some tubes on it and I sold it.
- 1:31:50Shout out to the guy that bought it.
- 1:31:51He's still not driving it and he's like some little kid and I
- 1:31:54really was hoping I would see that car back at Evergreen
- 1:31:56because I was asking him where he was going to drift and stuff
- 1:31:59like that. But no, I still haven't seen
- 1:32:01that car and I always try to buy it back from him.
- 1:32:03We should take you to Evergreen. I wanna go.
- 1:32:06Got damn pumpkins anywhere. Pumpkin smell, Yeah.
- 1:32:09Actually, that would be seen the video.
- 1:32:11The one we showed him, the video of coal, which we should still,
- 1:32:14we should still have on before he moves, because I think he's
- 1:32:16trying to move. Let's get that works out for
- 1:32:18you, Cole, but. No, we should bring you to a
- 1:32:21pumpkin smash for sure. Anywhere where there's a lot
- 1:32:23where it's dirt Frankie hates. That's why it doesn't like going
- 1:32:25to town anymore. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:32:27My God, the pitching, everyone. Hits get so bad.
- 1:32:30You drive down with your windows.
- 1:32:31Well even with my windows up cuz my seals don't fucking work but
- 1:32:35dash everywhere. Dirt, dust dust.
- 1:32:37Yeah, God. Forbid it rains, man.
- 1:32:39The rains. Mud.
- 1:32:43Yeah, and the one day actually we were trying to hit the
- 1:32:46Evergreen and no Diddy, but they ended up raining and there was a
- 1:32:52literal lake. Like literal lake.
- 1:32:54Like I think there's a picture of a guy in it like this far.
- 1:32:57This far up. Holy.
- 1:32:58Because the track's the lowest point, so it all just rains and
- 1:33:01goes into a. Mill, then again.
- 1:33:02It rolls. Up.
- 1:33:03Yeah, they ended up. God, I think they were going to
- 1:33:05shut down, but then people started waiting and they
- 1:33:07actually drove that day, which is crazy.
- 1:33:09Yeah, they like pumped it out. But that's like a party place.
- 1:33:12That place is just, you go there, you, you like, you bring
- 1:33:15a car. You don't care about there.
- 1:33:16Yeah. No, but they, they made it.
- 1:33:18They're nicer. Like they, they paved it.
- 1:33:21They're always trying to take care of it.
- 1:33:22Reese still has a. Cool over there.
- 1:33:24Oh yeah, it's definitely it's it's a nice place to be and and
- 1:33:26especially learn how to drive. Yeah, it's it was my starting
- 1:33:31point of drifting. So I always look back at that
- 1:33:33track as like, yo, that's why I started drifting and I I always
- 1:33:35want to drive there. Honestly, even with my car, when
- 1:33:37I made it look nice, I was like, yo, let's hit every day.
- 1:33:40You know what I mean? Like you just.
- 1:33:41And it was still pretty cheap. I think it's still under 100, I
- 1:33:44think. It's 80. 585 bucks.
- 1:33:46As it stays under 100, it's still good.
- 1:33:48Like $85 seat time, that's good. That's amazing, yeah.
- 1:33:52And you got a lot. Of money at McDonald's.
- 1:33:54At McDonald's, a week. A week, I believe it.
- 1:33:57That place is a RIP off. We had a couple bumps at
- 1:34:00Evergreen, so I kind of was a little worried about going back
- 1:34:02after we panned our cars. It's not Evergreen.
- 1:34:04It's more so how hot you can run laps like a class, hot laps.
- 1:34:11Like you just go the whole time. Like you literally come around
- 1:34:14and they're sending you from the end of the other turn grids
- 1:34:18like. Yeah, where the where the fuck
- 1:34:19is happening? Sending you going right away and
- 1:34:22so we would get we'd run too many laps at once and mistakes
- 1:34:26happen like lap 456 so we. Learned to just run 2 or.
- 1:34:30Three, that's when you run hard grip, get yourself like hit the
- 1:34:33wire. Yeah, hit the water pit like
- 1:34:35calm your mind, reset, go back out there, run some.
- 1:34:38More like one more hot lap and then you go, yeah.
- 1:34:41You know one one time. Yo you remember this story?
- 1:34:44One time at Evergreen I forgot what happened but my short
- 1:34:47shifter broke my vice grip. Man, for the whole weekend, you
- 1:34:52know? Yeah, he had like a really.
- 1:34:55He had like a. Cheap eBay G35 short shifter
- 1:34:58Yeah like did you do that mod yourself or did it come out it
- 1:35:01just. Came with the car.
- 1:35:02Yeah, it's snapped completely off for the rest of the day.
- 1:35:05He was. That's an amazing vice grip.
- 1:35:07You have a on the way home too. You have AG35 or is he?
- 1:35:09G35 I had OK, so it blew up. What?
- 1:35:12Happened to it. Man, it blew up twice, man.
- 1:35:14DD Yeah, but the first time it blew up because I went, it was
- 1:35:20on Easter Day and I was bored and I wanted to go do something.
- 1:35:24So I went to a spot and I didn't check the oil before I left.
- 1:35:28First problem was God. And I got there, did a couple
- 1:35:32laps, out of nowhere I heard some knocking, right?
- 1:35:35It was just very faint and slight.
- 1:35:37And I was like, fuck man, I started.
- 1:35:39Driving too late, right? It started.
- 1:35:42Getting worse and. Worse, man, it got worse.
- 1:35:45And worse. Man, it sucked.
- 1:35:47First, you think it's a valve tap or something?
- 1:35:49So I was like, all right, it's knocking, I'm done.
- 1:35:51Whatever. I parked it in the front, left
- 1:35:53it there. And then I think because it was
- 1:35:57my only car, it was my daily. So I still had a driver for a
- 1:36:00little bit to school and shit. He was driving around.
- 1:36:02I was in high school, Yeah. It was like 11th grade at the
- 1:36:05time, last week, or 12th grade anyways.
- 1:36:08So and then driving that on the way home, I was like right up
- 1:36:13the hill and it just ceased. I had to leave it there.
- 1:36:17So parked it up. Matt came with his truck and
- 1:36:19trailer and then that's when we took it to Lens's house.
- 1:36:26I should show a weekend put in a motor.
- 1:36:28Yeah, but you got you got an engine.
- 1:36:30Yeah, we put the engine in. Someone was running two
- 1:36:33different manifolds. It was misfiring.
- 1:36:35He was driving it still dailing it like that and.
- 1:36:38Drifting and drifting. Let's do something.
- 1:36:40And then, so then he gets it. He finally gets both manifolds
- 1:36:42on. It's done misfiring.
- 1:36:43It's running good. He signs up for a Pocono event.
- 1:36:47It was E course. Is that what we were driving
- 1:36:49that day? East course.
- 1:36:51We drove E course Saturday and then it was S course Sunday.
- 1:36:54He worked or something and signed up for Sunday.
- 1:36:56He prepaid for Sunday. He we were already driving
- 1:36:59Saturday. He shows up at the end of the
- 1:37:02session Saturday with his car because he's just going to camp
- 1:37:05out and drive Sunday. Oh, I'm saying I just I just
- 1:37:09hopped off. I just hopped off the track
- 1:37:11driving the east course all day. Yossi just gets there.
- 1:37:14He's like yo, turn a couple laps in my car.
- 1:37:16Like we just swapped this motor. Like I just want to make sure
- 1:37:19it's good for tomorrow. I should have said no, but
- 1:37:21knowing that he's just been driving this thing misfiring for
- 1:37:24past couple of months. But I hop in, I throw, I threw 2
- 1:37:28heaters. I will say, you know how they
- 1:37:35always say like the car feels the facest before it blows up?
- 1:37:38After. After the first lap, I was like,
- 1:37:40this car feels, so there's probably a video.
- 1:37:42I was like, this car feels so fast.
- 1:37:44I was like, you mind if I take a second lap?
- 1:37:46Second lap after I didn't even hear it.
- 1:37:48We hop off and talking and his face just goes flush.
- 1:37:51All of a sudden you guys hear a faint like tap tap, tap, tap,
- 1:37:54tap. Again.
- 1:37:54Yeah, right. When I hop off these cars and.
- 1:37:57We do, yeah. And then we hop off the pits,
- 1:37:59right? Like it got way louder.
- 1:38:02He turned the car off, turned it back on.
- 1:38:03We knew it was knocking. I was like, fuck, fuck this.
- 1:38:05I'm, I'm done. You know, this is bullshit.
- 1:38:07I was over it. I was just done.
- 1:38:10So Matt's like house was like 30 minutes away.
- 1:38:14So we tried to drive the car back.
- 1:38:17Locks up again. Going up a hill, the car's going
- 1:38:20what how to get pulled to the side, and good thing Nate pulled
- 1:38:29up in the big truck and took us all the way back to Matt's.
- 1:38:32House flat toed for like 30 miles.
- 1:38:34Big Betty. White.
- 1:38:35That's why I call my truck. Big Betty White.
- 1:38:37Flat toe for 30. Miles.
- 1:38:39Yeah, I told. Him at like 4550 miles.
- 1:38:43Uphill and downhill, we had to. We had to get back.
- 1:38:46This is PA for the gate. Yeah, something with the gate
- 1:38:48was closing, so I had to go take him, get back.
- 1:38:51And I wanted to change my power steering pump on my car for the
- 1:38:53next day because it was squealing.
- 1:38:55So I wanted to take them, get done, get back, fix my car and
- 1:38:58go to bed at a good time. We didn't go to bed till like 2.
- 1:39:03So it was. It wasn't horrible, but.
- 1:39:06So you got another motor? So we flat toed him home.
- 1:39:09No. So I just, I just got rid of the
- 1:39:11car. It would be just, I had just, I
- 1:39:16think I just graduated and then I was going to college like I'm
- 1:39:19in school now and I was. Like wow, you're smart.
- 1:39:21Yeah, I just, I'm, I'm gonna take a little break.
- 1:39:23Yeah, I'm gonna get a good job and then I'm fine 'cause I was
- 1:39:26working at Chipotle, man, getting like $13.00 an hour and
- 1:39:30putting all my money into the G. And go.
- 1:39:33Twice and go to. Twice I hated that car too
- 1:39:38because I worked on that car a lot.
- 1:39:40Like the day, the day before that event, we were in my
- 1:39:45backyard, my porch, welding and and grinding a whole new exhaust
- 1:39:50for his car just so he could drive it the next day.
- 1:39:52And I got reported by my neighbor because I was welding
- 1:39:55on my porch. So this dude, this dude's car
- 1:39:59made me in trouble, got me in trouble.
- 1:40:00But I hated that car so much. Fucking hate that car.
- 1:40:03So your your car was right now. Oh, Oh no, I mean I got a daily
- 1:40:06now, but for drift car, yeah, I'm trying to get a Z hopefully
- 1:40:09this year. Do you wanna you wanna you?
- 1:40:11Sure, you. Don't take that anymore.
- 1:40:15No, the whole problem began 'cause I didn't check the oil.
- 1:40:17Man, you gotta make sure. Those now every time.
- 1:40:20Yeah, she goes to drive, bro. Yeah, let me check the.
- 1:40:22Dipstick, you do need to make sure they have oil in them that
- 1:40:25they'd like to drink that shit. Yeah, VQS, if they have oil,
- 1:40:27they'll keep going A. Dipstick A dipstick.
- 1:40:29Is AI know? He.
- 1:40:33Feels that shit. I know that hurt.
- 1:40:35Damn. The dipstick on the VQ is so
- 1:40:38weird to read too. Like yeah, it sucks.
- 1:40:40What they do it on? Purpose.
- 1:40:43Yeah, like it's like this little like it's all, it's got all
- 1:40:47these crazy bends in it and. There's like a little like so
- 1:40:49dumb. Funnel thing you like, stick it
- 1:40:51into and if you've. Got all the.
- 1:40:53Dirt. You can't get Dirt.
- 1:40:54Yeah, it gets. All dirty like it's just, it
- 1:40:57feel like you're putting it down in the hole you get you get oil
- 1:41:00all over the thing before it even gets down there.
- 1:41:02So you don't get an accurate reading.
- 1:41:05So you think you have oil but you don't.
- 1:41:07So always check your. Oil check your.
- 1:41:09Oil when the car's cold, like on the trailer before you.
- 1:41:12Leave yeah, he would check his oil on he lived on a hill.
- 1:41:15He'd be like, yeah, I checked my oil bro, I.
- 1:41:18Was like where in this hill? Car park he's like on the front
- 1:41:22I'm. Like oh shit, that's probably
- 1:41:23why. This hill is just room level.
- 1:41:26Ground level. Ground, I'm not gonna lie, like
- 1:41:28I think I had that car for like a year and a half, but it was
- 1:41:32the best year and a half I had drove up here in this like in
- 1:41:36that car going like 120 for some search, right?
- 1:41:39Like, yeah, it it was reliable. Facebook Marketplace, fine.
- 1:41:43Yeah, we drove that thing over here.
- 1:41:45Yeah, that thing was four seats too, so we got some laps in the
- 1:41:48like full team in the car at Evergreen.
- 1:41:51Cheering him on. Dude, I tried to put three
- 1:41:54people in the car and it felt completely different.
- 1:41:57Having all that way. 4. Yeah.
- 1:41:59He's crazy car just yo he was cooking with all four of us.
- 1:42:03You're. Deacon, there's definitely a.
- 1:42:05Simple set up too. It was just the the bolt on kid.
- 1:42:08Yeah, and that thing got crushed.
- 1:42:09Like he didn't just sell it on. We just crushed that guy.
- 1:42:12That 1. Back ever yeah you had to make
- 1:42:16sure that he. Didn't want to accidentally see
- 1:42:18that car later in life. Yeah, that's not a car we want
- 1:42:20to run back into it. I.
- 1:42:21Was a little sad. I'm not going to laugh.
- 1:42:23I got a little sad seeing that video though because you could
- 1:42:24see the push on the back window and the call just grab it and it
- 1:42:29shattered and then they just threw it in the.
- 1:42:31Crusher seeing cars get crushes set I've.
- 1:42:33Yet to do do it. Not that car.
- 1:42:34Yet to do that. Oh.
- 1:42:35My God, fair enough. Might be bad.
- 1:42:37Experience with it, like I I get it, it's pretty shitty.
- 1:42:40On the ride down we talked, we talked about it, that he he
- 1:42:43should have kept it and we could have just put a VQ in it, put
- 1:42:47another one. Another. 1.
- 1:42:50So what happened is the motor we bought was aftermarket headers
- 1:42:54and the dude picked it up by the headers and because they were
- 1:42:58junk they bent. So 1 was like kinked and the
- 1:43:01other one wasn't. So when we put when they first
- 1:43:03start up his car these three did the swap mostly I was there for
- 1:43:06like moral support for a couple hours but they cranked it out
- 1:43:10and it just wouldn't run right for like days.
- 1:43:12So they were like dropping the trans, figuring out what's going
- 1:43:14on, like. Is this backwards?
- 1:43:17What's leaking? What vacuum leak do we have?
- 1:43:19They couldn't figure it out, so he drove it with like the
- 1:43:22craziest misfire for like how long?
- 1:43:25Not what? Wasn't that manifold just
- 1:43:27cracked? Yeah.
- 1:43:28We Yeah, There was a man, there was a.
- 1:43:29Lot I think. You probably why it was fast as
- 1:43:31fuck too. Something was bad and you
- 1:43:33probably melted some shit. It felt good.
- 1:43:35You know those two laps, that thing was scooting.
- 1:43:39Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:43:41Timing was fucking advanced or some shit like something.
- 1:43:44Dumping fuel and it was probably love of it.
- 1:43:47We got questions today, Malcolm or no?
- 1:43:49Oh, we do. All right.
- 1:43:50Cool. Malcolm, are you going to say
- 1:43:52anything? We can start doing these
- 1:43:53questions usually take a while, so.
- 1:43:57Oh no, he's not going to say anything.
- 1:43:59Well, no, nothing, Nothing we have.
- 1:44:01Questions. It was hard.
- 1:44:05Frankie is going to let's see, they're talking about Munchkins
- 1:44:10because some people doesn't have some people don't have a visual.
- 1:44:13So, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:44:14Are those hard? Hey Frankie, are you hard?
- 1:44:17Whoa, what? I'm talking about yourself,
- 1:44:19esteem. What?
- 1:44:22Yes, will you guys ever get cooler cars than those lame
- 1:44:27350Z's? Is that one I should have read
- 1:44:29before I read? We wanted to talk about who said
- 1:44:33that so. Colby.
- 1:44:34Oh, of course. Colby.
- 1:44:35Yeah, that's Colby. Yeah, but we already have.
- 1:44:37So Nate has an RX7 and then I have the S13.
- 1:44:41RL 7 so. Around the same time, FC, Yeah,
- 1:44:44yeah, yeah. So the same time he bought his
- 1:44:45car we had a buddy, We had a buddy that had AZ, he had the
- 1:44:50S13 and I bought an FC and we all strip them down and
- 1:44:56basically RIP them apart and we're going to do full builds.
- 1:44:59My car hasn't changed since then.
- 1:45:02Our other buddy had a payment on his Z so he got rid of it.
- 1:45:07Like he stripped it all down, ripped it all apart.
- 1:45:09It was a nice car from the start.
- 1:45:11We've ruined it, he got rid of it and then I have the FCI.
- 1:45:16Just paid a store everywhere for years and I bought the Z because
- 1:45:20I needed to just get something to drive like the the FC is like
- 1:45:2320 grand off from being driving like I bought it as like a
- 1:45:27sitting in a yard car. I bought 2 of them for two
- 1:45:30grand. Sold the four lug, kept the five
- 1:45:32lug and. I sold the.
- 1:45:36Black dash, black interior out of the one that I'm keeping
- 1:45:39which I regret. So what's in there now?
- 1:45:42Nothing so. As full like part shop
- 1:45:45suspension and. Everything yeah, so I have full
- 1:45:46part shop Max, like everything they make for the car I have,
- 1:45:49but I think I'm going to change up some stuff like I'm getting
- 1:45:53to a point where like the ZS done and I just want to drive
- 1:45:55it, put tires on it and like style up stuff a little bit FC.
- 1:46:00Is good dude. You could.
- 1:46:01I want to do I want to do like a haze spec KA in the FC.
- 1:46:06What? No.
- 1:46:08No. I want to do an S13 subframe B
- 1:46:12knuckle KAFC so you. You're doing a Mazda 180.
- 1:46:18Yo that's what I want to do 240 front end with a trailing arm
- 1:46:21rear. It's like a BMW.
- 1:46:23TI thought you were going to get like a Rotary.
- 1:46:25Put it in. Yeah, I did.
- 1:46:26Want to do that? But they're like more than a
- 1:46:28Jay-Z. Now it is.
- 1:46:29Really expensive for a Rotary. Is more.
- 1:46:31Than a yeah yeah 13 BREW like the FD motor 75 and that's not
- 1:46:38even like that's not doing anything to it like you're.
- 1:46:41Just. That engine does seem kind of
- 1:46:42like maybe you could just put that together though.
- 1:46:44Can't you turbo with like an NA1?
- 1:46:47What about the Turbo 2 motor? From the turbo 2 motor is a good
- 1:46:50option I was I did really want to like keep the RX7 people
- 1:46:54happy with keeping it Rotary but.
- 1:46:55Well, not I. Drove Ethan's car.
- 1:46:57Your buddy Ethan? Yeah, Buddy Ethan K Ever since
- 1:47:01then, and that's what Brendan's car is, a Kat Dude, I haven't
- 1:47:05been able to think about anything else since Ethan let me
- 1:47:07drive his car. Like that Was the when I
- 1:47:09wrecked, when we all wrecked and cars got messed up, my car was
- 1:47:13done. So I put on the trailer.
- 1:47:14Ethan let me drive his car. Ethan's let me drive his car
- 1:47:17before that thing. Is too bad he's a homie.
- 1:47:19That's a big homie movie. Like someone drove the car.
- 1:47:21Yeah, I think everybody drove me the Yeah, yeah.
- 1:47:23Yeah, he's a drive his car too. Yeah, cuz he just fucking.
- 1:47:29Yeah, we're going down like like a sketchy Rd. man.
- 1:47:31We went under a bridge. He's like yo clutch kick it
- 1:47:33right now sideways man. So you guys do plan on drifting
- 1:47:45so. Yeah, these these are, I mean,
- 1:47:47we, so the first, our number one is driving like we always want
- 1:47:52to make sure we have a car that we can hop in and turn laps.
- 1:47:54And so once you start throwing a built car in like a S13 or an
- 1:47:59RX7, like there's a chance you're going to show up and not
- 1:48:02drive. So we want to make sure we
- 1:48:03always have a chassis that we can hop in and drive as a team.
- 1:48:06So one, these are kind of getting to the point that
- 1:48:08they're set like we have cages, we have diffs, we have a painted
- 1:48:11kit. So now it's kind of like
- 1:48:13upkeeping the ZS keeping. We don't, I don't think we'll
- 1:48:15ever like swap the ZS or anything.
- 1:48:17Those are just like seat time cars.
- 1:48:19And now we're going to kind of slowly progress into like
- 1:48:23chassis swap. It's not like we don't have a
- 1:48:25time set for anything or like there's just going to be a slow
- 1:48:27progression. ZS.
- 1:48:30Catch so much hate like. We almost feel like, we almost
- 1:48:35feel like that's one. Of the questions, they said, do
- 1:48:38you guys get a lot of hate for driving through these ZS?
- 1:48:40Yeah, we do. We get a lot of love too.
- 1:48:43Like we got so many people that follow us that have like their Z
- 1:48:47in their name, like people are crazy about.
- 1:48:50They're outside of the drift community, they're big cars,
- 1:48:52they're popular. There's a big like VQ community.
- 1:48:54I think. It's the noise they made.
- 1:48:56I think it's. They're called the bicycle #1 VQ
- 1:48:58fan. Derek on the bicycle, yeah.
- 1:49:00Nah, he Derek should take a no. Friend, you think it's a no,
- 1:49:02he's a good. Group I know people, just they
- 1:49:04they don't sound. Good.
- 1:49:05You gotta put a muffler on him like.
- 1:49:07It's to take over. I have resonated catalyst
- 1:49:10resonated like test pipes, so there's mufflers up there and
- 1:49:13then I have like a vibrant super silencer in the back and like I
- 1:49:16think it's. Like, really quiet.
- 1:49:17I think it's like a perfect tone, like there's no like crazy
- 1:49:19rasp, but there's a tone that you can hear, yeah.
- 1:49:22But we feel like it's almost like a challenge for us to do
- 1:49:25final about things with ZS because how many teams have you
- 1:49:29seen do ZS well together and drive well like are?
- 1:49:33Full ZS. Yeah, like a full Z done well.
- 1:49:36Like there's a team that followed us from like West Coast
- 1:49:38that I saw. I can't think of what they were.
- 1:49:40Yeah, like the black and the white Z.
- 1:49:42Yeah, I think you guys could do it.
- 1:49:43There's just I'm not really worried about.
- 1:49:45It it's gonna, we've heard like in circles.
- 1:49:47You can do it in circles. We've been in conversation where
- 1:49:50people are like, Nah, you can't do, you can't do final belt with
- 1:49:53AZ. They're like you have to be in
- 1:49:54an S. Chest.
- 1:49:55No, no, not true. You can make cars look good,
- 1:49:59it's just don't make them sound like shit.
- 1:50:02Go, go out and go. It would.
- 1:50:03Be a cool thing and they want to see new stuff.
- 1:50:06Yeah, make your point, Make put in the work.
- 1:50:09Like, I've been on this thing lately where I don't really give
- 1:50:12a shit how much you paid for whatever it is that you paid
- 1:50:15for. But like, if you made made it
- 1:50:18like your own, you put your work in.
- 1:50:19It's evident you put your work in.
- 1:50:20That's what makes it cool for me.
- 1:50:22Yeah. The mileage like your own
- 1:50:24mileage. Yeah, like a third person
- 1:50:26perspective. If I saw us like 3 purple blue
- 1:50:29ZS with cool banner, nice wheels, I'd be like holy shit,
- 1:50:32those stars are so fucking cool. Yeah, that's exactly.
- 1:50:34And then we go out there perfect.
- 1:50:36And we drive. We drive pretty good.
- 1:50:38You know what? I mean, and we drive the whole
- 1:50:39event like crazy Hot labs. Like if you see us driving an
- 1:50:42event, we're out there the whole time.
- 1:50:44Like we honestly, we're good with getting clips and posting
- 1:50:47them on Instagram, but that's like 10% of our driving.
- 1:50:50Like we. Yeah, we start.
- 1:50:52Recording all the time. Honestly, I don't know how we
- 1:50:53pull out as we do because. We just.
- 1:50:56Because you just show up and you just want to drive.
- 1:50:58You don't want to worry about pulling out the camera, setting
- 1:51:00up the GoPro. It's like, let's hop in the car
- 1:51:02and get these. Labs I forget to.
- 1:51:03Eat, thank God. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:51:05Listen, man. I'm in keep honest.
- 1:51:07With that, yo, literally my girl will be yo eat the sandwich I
- 1:51:10made you in the morning. I'm sorry I still can't eat it.
- 1:51:12I feel nervous, you know what I mean?
- 1:51:14Like we just go out there and try to keep getting more laps,
- 1:51:17honestly. I'm not worried about you guys.
- 1:51:19I mean I know what you're saying, but first of all ignore
- 1:51:22all the people that hate on the Z.
- 1:51:24So definitely ignore that. But I don't like Z that much.
- 1:51:28And when I saw you guys drifting, I was like, this is
- 1:51:30cool because it's like 2Z. I don't really like that car,
- 1:51:33but I like what I'm seeing. Like it's cool.
- 1:51:35Yeah. So that that the final bout guys
- 1:51:38are gonna be thinking the same thing.
- 1:51:39We feel like it's a challenge to put on for the ZS because they
- 1:51:41just catch so much hate. I think we do it, though.
- 1:51:43I think we'll we'll do it. Yeah, it's gonna.
- 1:51:45Be. I think you should stick with
- 1:51:46that because. Did you drive with my friend
- 1:51:48Bryson down there? Yeah, yeah, you.
- 1:51:50Turn the most, Yeah. So Diego was there, but we
- 1:51:54didn't get a chance to talk to him.
- 1:51:56I don't think like him and Bryson were there and.
- 1:51:58I think Diego was there Saturday and he left when we were at Mid
- 1:52:01Pond and it was just Bryson on Sunday.
- 1:52:04Yeah, yeah. So we got some laps.
- 1:52:05Yeah, he had a black Z and we were driving with him.
- 1:52:07We'll go to. Absolutely wheels, but yeah, he.
- 1:52:10Yeah, that kid, fucking annoyingly, is good at driving.
- 1:52:12Fuck you, Bryson. Also you got to go to Japan is
- 1:52:15he big? Japan does to you bro is.
- 1:52:17He big country on. No, he's betting.
- 1:52:19B. No on on on discord.
- 1:52:22He's not big. No, he's who's big country.
- 1:52:24Big country is Sean. He's he's from up here.
- 1:52:26He has a JZX. Has a well, damn, I'm sorry,
- 1:52:30Sean, he had a JZX. He got into a car accident.
- 1:52:33Black 1. Yeah.
- 1:52:36That was right, dude. That was rape.
- 1:52:37Fire. Hells yeah, the chances.
- 1:52:39Of that. The entrance to the highway that
- 1:52:41I get on every day to go to work, they just put, you know,
- 1:52:45like those guardrail replacements that are ropes.
- 1:52:48They just installed these things.
- 1:52:50First snow of the year, I see this black car sitting against
- 1:52:54it and I'm like triple taking driving past.
- 1:52:56I'm like was that S14 or was that JZX?
- 1:52:59Like what was that on? K FS like he just yeah, he was
- 1:53:02like it was a legitimate car accident and I was like damn,
- 1:53:07because he was like, I don't want to have like a crazy I'm
- 1:53:10just driving. I think he just proposed that
- 1:53:14weekend or something like that. So what's up with the car?
- 1:53:17Like it's done. I don't know, I.
- 1:53:20Didn't it looked the way it went off it?
- 1:53:23It didn't look like it could have been good because it went
- 1:53:26from he was gone this way and the the guardrails are on this
- 1:53:30side. The tracks go into the
- 1:53:33guardrails and then spin and he's on the other side of the
- 1:53:35guardrail facing the other way. He was OK, but I mean, I don't
- 1:53:40know about the car really. Cam.
- 1:53:42Yeah, but that's Sean, a different Sean, not not the.
- 1:53:45Big country. We got a, got a good.
- 1:53:47Question here, how many motors have you all been through
- 1:53:49together? Collectively I got so when I
- 1:53:53originally was getting the S13 together, I I was just out of
- 1:53:58high school learning to build motors and stuff.
- 1:54:01I still don't really know how to build motors, but I was using
- 1:54:02like rock auto Pistons, eBay turbo.
- 1:54:06Yeah. So the rock.
- 1:54:08Here we go, Pistons. Listen the first the first pull
- 1:54:13down my street with the rock, all Pistons lost all compression
- 1:54:16and when all Sounders I pull the rings out, the rings are in half
- 1:54:19like. Literally in two pieces.
- 1:54:21Oh my. God.
- 1:54:22So when I was going through that, so happy.
- 1:54:24That you said that that's. Amazing.
- 1:54:26That's amazing. I was just being hard headed so
- 1:54:28that during that whole thing until I finally bought a built
- 1:54:31Ki think I went through 4 or 5K just like in a year or two.
- 1:54:36Just kept grenading them. I was an idiot.
- 1:54:38Like it would run like shit. I'll just keep bouncing off the
- 1:54:41limer and not carrying, just grenading.
- 1:54:42We heard that before with the. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:54:46There's no mechanical. Sympathies altogether is it
- 1:54:49only. I see only those two for V.
- 1:54:51One, I'm on the motor that came in my car and the transmission,
- 1:54:54so I'm on the. OK.
- 1:54:56Yep, everybody fucking. I'm.
- 1:55:02On the 05 motor 05 trans. I'm not even on the CDO 9.
- 1:55:06I swapped my motor before I met them though, that's before I
- 1:55:09started drifting my Z. It's just because it was had.
- 1:55:11It was the piston rings were. Still counts.
- 1:55:14Still counts, yeah. Dude, that's what happened to
- 1:55:16Chris's. So I guess too.
- 1:55:18Two well 3/3. But twice him, yeah.
- 1:55:21Keep them, keep them cool, put oil in them, keep them cool.
- 1:55:24Oil cooler. Yeah, yeah, Big thing.
- 1:55:26Aftermarket oil cooler right 'cause they come with.
- 1:55:28Oil coolers, right? They're really tiny.
- 1:55:30No, it comes. With no it's power.
- 1:55:31Steering. It's like one row.
- 1:55:33That's right. Yep.
- 1:55:34Yeah, you put a oil cooler in it and like even they sell like a
- 1:55:37oil pan that you can add even more oil to the.
- 1:55:39You don't have to do that, but you don't have to.
- 1:55:40We don't have any of that, but like just keep an oil in the
- 1:55:42car. If there's oil in the car, if it
- 1:55:44leaks, just add more oil, so. If you're saying the power
- 1:55:46steering pumps get burnt out if. You have to.
- 1:55:49If you don't do a cooler your power steering pump will blow
- 1:55:52and you can even get like a oil cooler off tits.
- 1:55:55I told him about it, he got a oil cooler.
- 1:55:58Old tits, yeah. Oh, that's my boy right there
- 1:56:01bro. He is the nice one of the nicest
- 1:56:03human beings on planet earth. But but I'm.
- 1:56:05Sorry, but I told him and he got like a Volvo.
- 1:56:08It might have been a truck that was like a transmission cooler
- 1:56:11that was bigger and it's just a fluid cooler.
- 1:56:14So you clean it out and I mean, it's ATF, so yeah, pull us
- 1:56:18through. It's fine.
- 1:56:19Keep them cool. It's good.
- 1:56:20Yeah, they and they run ATF too. This is a huge one.
- 1:56:24This stumped all three of us. If you blow a power steering
- 1:56:28pump, replace a reservoir. There's a small filter in the
- 1:56:31reservoir, so when you blow the pump, all the Mel goes to this
- 1:56:35filter in the reservoir. So you don't replace a
- 1:56:38reservoir, you put a new pump in and still clog because that
- 1:56:41filter and you'll grenade the next pump.
- 1:56:43And so always go pump and reservoir together.
- 1:56:45Yeah, you'll fuck the rack up too if you.
- 1:56:47Yeah, like you did two or three racks because of that.
- 1:56:50Yeah. That's a good.
- 1:56:50Information. I did not know that.
- 1:56:52Now I'm going to think of that. Yeah, a lot of companies when
- 1:56:54they rebuild a steering rack or something, they go, hey, if you
- 1:56:57didn't replace everything and this blows, it's on you because
- 1:57:00a lot of people, it's like AC compressors too when they break,
- 1:57:03but. It's.
- 1:57:05If you got metal shavings in the whole system and then you go put
- 1:57:07a rebuilt rack or something because yours blue and then you
- 1:57:09blow it again, you bring it back to them.
- 1:57:10They're like, well, did you change your pump?
- 1:57:12No, I didn't. All right, it's not warranty.
- 1:57:14Yeah, you can't clean all that stuff out either.
- 1:57:16You got to swap everything, lines everything.
- 1:57:18Yeah. Good info, what is the best
- 1:57:22chassis for drift? Well, I mean. 350Z Call.
- 1:57:28Us for a lap. It's going to be, I think the
- 1:57:30350Z at this point. But I mean or AG35 I've never
- 1:57:34driven AS chassis besides Ethan's car.
- 1:57:37They perform and do well and then people say AZ is a cheat
- 1:57:40code. Is an S chassis a cheat code if
- 1:57:42it drives well? S chassis are sweet, but I mean
- 1:57:45you're looking at what, 10 to 15 to get one and set it up to
- 1:57:48drive properly right now, yeah. I mean really, ZS aren't that
- 1:57:52far behind. You're setting up AZ, but still.
- 1:57:55Yeah, I guess you're not that far behind with AZ.
- 1:57:57Yeah, because by the time you buy AZ.
- 1:57:59But I think that SHS is going to be more than that, I think.
- 1:58:01And you're going to have the headache like you kind of got to
- 1:58:04have a little mechanical knowledge for a 240 more as AZ
- 1:58:08you can kind of that's. Why the Z is the cheat code?
- 1:58:10Yes, because A2. 40 also you're going to be lacking right off
- 1:58:15the RIP if let's say you found the stock ish one right that
- 1:58:19everybody tells you that you should buy Z it.
- 1:58:22Has 300. Horsepower.
- 1:58:23It has torque, yeah. It has interior stuff, yeah. 240
- 1:58:27upgrade is to put the 350Z parts on it.
- 1:58:30Like a car, take half on the 350Z and put it in the S13 and
- 1:58:33then you're good. Drivetrain wise, I mean like
- 1:58:35divisions, you know what I mean? Yeah.
- 1:58:38The the whole last VQ I lost a VQ13 like on that car track
- 1:58:44comp. Oh yeah, yeah, it was a VQ in
- 1:58:47the 13. I was like.
- 1:58:49Was that was that kind of weird? I don't.
- 1:58:51Think Mikey Walsh, OK, but I think Corey Crisco, yeah, Corey
- 1:58:55also has one. He's swapped.
- 1:58:58He's he's going chassis. On Jay-Z, that was so weird to
- 1:59:01hear. Like, I'm like, why does it
- 1:59:03sound like that? You know what I mean?
- 1:59:05Yeah. It's not making the right noise.
- 1:59:06Yeah, it's like not going like. Any turbo noises in that
- 1:59:09chassis? Do you guys?
- 1:59:10Have like a top someone has a top five 350 ZS.
- 1:59:13Do you have any 350 ZS that you that you think are like the
- 1:59:16pinnacle builds like? There's this guy Dan Burkhart,
- 1:59:21if I think his name is, if you look him up on Instagram,
- 1:59:24Burkhart isn't. That the purple and red sounds.
- 1:59:26Familiar. Yeah.
- 1:59:27It's like it's purple and red fade like ours with a big with a
- 1:59:29livery and wheels done up. Nice.
- 1:59:31A good looking car. I'm curious because this sounds
- 1:59:33like a lot of. I don't think he drifts it.
- 1:59:36I think he's a like a show car guy, but it's set up like a
- 1:59:40drift car. It's.
- 1:59:43A. URKETT.
- 1:59:47It might be Dan Burkett. Nah.
- 1:59:55Maybe under our followers, I don't know if you can like click
- 1:59:58our followers and click his car. Honestly, that's probably the
- 2:00:02one that stands out the most to me.
- 2:00:04We didn't model off of anything. We just.
- 2:00:06That's good. That means you're kind of just
- 2:00:08doing your own. Yeah, like we, we just had a
- 2:00:11like Matt's car honestly was probably our vision, like when
- 2:00:13we saw his black gone up before it got smashed up.
- 2:00:18That was the vision. Like Serbs.
- 2:00:19That's why we're all on Serbs. Like we all are on Serbs.
- 2:00:22Ones and twos, I believe. Do you have twos?
- 2:00:25I just have one. People do.
- 2:00:26Not like that. I love that.
- 2:00:29I mean, that's one of the reasons why I asked this
- 2:00:31question because it's like, you know, we all, we all think
- 2:00:35there's not too many good looking ZS.
- 2:00:37So that's why I'm I'm. Interested.
- 2:00:39I like our ZS. Every time I see AZ that that
- 2:00:41looks good, I'm like oh OK. Search up to 2 tone ZI think
- 2:00:45there's some. 2 tone this guy can't find this guy.
- 2:00:47Here, Oh what's what's his name that we saw at Mid Pond that but
- 2:00:50what was the first name? Dan Burke.
- 2:00:51Burke or something, Dan, right. No, Dan.
- 2:00:57Dan just typed that you tried that.
- 2:01:00And then maybe. His first name's not Dan.
- 2:01:02I'm. OK.
- 2:01:03I swore his last name was like Burkett or something like that
- 2:01:08type in BUR. No, no, no.
- 2:01:14Damn, I'll find it. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:01:18Look up. There's 2 tone Z for now, 2 tone
- 2:01:20Z that that this is the car that Yeah, TWO.
- 2:01:29There's a white Z from around here that's great too.
- 2:01:31This one maybe I think this car looked really good he made me
- 2:01:35get my front bumper he. There's one of the Cali dudes
- 2:01:37where it's all really. What the fuck?
- 2:01:39Yeah, I like that, but. Where the fuck is the other one?
- 2:01:45What is going on? I like that.
- 2:01:48That looks nice. What what front bumper is that?
- 2:01:51That's. The one you have, yeah.
- 2:01:54It's hard to make these cars not look like computer mouses.
- 2:01:56Yeah, it's quite round, but you gotta.
- 2:01:59I I personally think they need that, that Nismo spoiler.
- 2:02:02I love that wing. That's that's the thing I always
- 2:02:05look for. I need some kind of like
- 2:02:08something back there. It looks.
- 2:02:10Tough, I like. The something in the back just
- 2:02:12to break. Dude, I like just like a mouse.
- 2:02:14Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and I like, that's my
- 2:02:16favorite wing, I think. Project Bartlett.
- 2:02:20Yeah, that's that dude. Yeah, I'd way you know.
- 2:02:22What the? Fuck Bartlett.
- 2:02:25Bart. Yeah.
- 2:02:32What the? He blocked us.
- 2:02:35Blocked. Line it or just.
- 2:02:37Or just project. Put.
- 2:02:39P. ROJ just.
- 2:02:40Better be the best Z I've ever seen in my life.
- 2:02:43This is why I don't read names by the with the questions, I'm
- 2:02:46good. Yo T crazy.
- 2:02:50You know why? Because I have all this B.
- 2:02:52Why is it not coming up? That's crazy.
- 2:02:54He blocked us. It's.
- 2:02:55Literally like it's blocked. It's a good looking car.
- 2:03:00OK, pretty crazy. Oh wait, I've seen this car
- 2:03:03before. It doesn't drift.
- 2:03:05I've seen that. Yeah, I think it was all.
- 2:03:06I hate it. It was all bad.
- 2:03:07I hate it, Carl. OK, shit.
- 2:03:09All right. Yo, stop making your car look
- 2:03:11like a drift car. If you don't drift, go stay over
- 2:03:13there. Stay on your side, stay in your
- 2:03:15lane. I like, I saw it and I was like,
- 2:03:17damn, that was cool. And then I heard that, and then
- 2:03:20I was like, that is the most retarded thing I've ever.
- 2:03:22If you're listening, definitely slide that car.
- 2:03:24That car needs to be slidden. Yeah, you're a fucking poser.
- 2:03:27Oh. My God yo damn.
- 2:03:30What the? Fuck rubbing the skateboard on
- 2:03:32the curb. Oh my God, you get blackmailed.
- 2:03:35Imagine like. But it that is.
- 2:03:39Crazy. That's like.
- 2:03:40That's a. Sense yeah, they're 40s, seen
- 2:03:42kids are putting like drift liveries.
- 2:03:44On well, I think that guy lives really far.
- 2:03:46Like where does that guy live? And he's like, he's like.
- 2:03:48UK or something? Yeah, they, they don't host.
- 2:03:50I was talking to him but he says they don't really host drift
- 2:03:53events over there. Street Keep it St.
- 2:03:56One guy, one. Guy said.
- 2:03:57What was the best tip or technique to quickly progress?
- 2:04:01Progress? Aggressive driving.
- 2:04:03But I feel like we already come, we already talked.
- 2:04:05About this, Mike from Hayes, he told me, I don't know who told
- 2:04:09him this, but he said when you transition you got to like think
- 2:04:13you're the car head and I'm going to transition now.
- 2:04:17Yo why now? Told me the same now on the line
- 2:04:21now like. Where?
- 2:04:22He is. Yeah, like you need to
- 2:04:23transition at like when this car is about to swing, you need to
- 2:04:27be about to swing. Too like in that.
- 2:04:29Pocket transition, that's where you can.
- 2:04:30Practice your transition timing on on the SIM.
- 2:04:33A huge thing to get over. You have to enter like you have
- 2:04:36to. The biggest this thing is
- 2:04:38entering on their back bumper to stay close.
- 2:04:40But if you don't do that, you're trying to play catch up.
- 2:04:43That's when you're. A Yeah.
- 2:04:44You don't want to practice playing catch up.
- 2:04:46Yeah, that's basically where you're.
- 2:04:47That's can you play that clip on our Instagram of our twin drift?
- 2:04:52There's AI, think it's the. Yeah, I'll know where it's at, I
- 2:04:59guess that. Was that one right here poser
- 2:05:01thing that and then? Carl's going.
- 2:05:03Back there thinking about it. Kind of being a poser, I
- 2:05:07couldn't. Lie which one?
- 2:05:08The whole no, that one's here X out of that go all the way up to
- 2:05:11the pins you might have. There might be a quick you want.
- 2:05:13To say I took up that. One not really all right, that's
- 2:05:15did I saw what I said. That wasn't.
- 2:05:18Yeah, that's not the beginning. Yeah.
- 2:05:20Yeah, that's why we lost. Ethan, step your shit up.
- 2:05:24No, you guys are good. There's.
- 2:05:27A Honestly, this transition right here is one of those.
- 2:05:28Yo, transition, yeah, we sure was on, bro.
- 2:05:30That shit was fucking amazing. That was like, I think that's
- 2:05:34the best part of drifting the transitions.
- 2:05:36Yeah, like just going like getting ready for the
- 2:05:39transition. Well, Mike also said from Hayes,
- 2:05:41he said push brought some refreshing energy back to Pocono
- 2:05:45Raceway, so that's cool to hear. Yeah, we got close to Mike.
- 2:05:49I let him. I let him drive my Z shout out.
- 2:05:50All the haze boys. Yeah, shout out all the haze,
- 2:05:52boys. Shout out car shop karoshi.
- 2:05:54They're like our they're like our drift dads.
- 2:05:57Oh, he's got the, he's got the yeah, I don't like that hate
- 2:06:01shirt, but yeah, yeah, he gave me one.
- 2:06:05They gave me one. The the Hayes, the Hayes guys
- 2:06:07are so cool. They're so nice.
- 2:06:09Like fucking always been. Just around always.
- 2:06:12Yeah, they're great homies, yeah.
- 2:06:14Yeah, the guys are cool. Mike P got a shovel.
- 2:06:16Oh, no, no, he has a Yeah, he has a shovel.
- 2:06:19Yeah, someone said bleep out anytime someone says VQ.
- 2:06:25Thoughts. Oh, that's a good one.
- 2:06:26Thoughts on differential braces for three shit disease?
- 2:06:29Oh yeah, you definitely need it. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:06:31So is that? Because there's one single.
- 2:06:33Bushel. Is that the thing?
- 2:06:34Yeah, so one time at Pocono I've with, I had, I think there are
- 2:06:38stock bushings. I was still stock diff bushings
- 2:06:40and I replaced the right off, right off the diff.
- 2:06:45So wow, I think the FDF brace is the best.
- 2:06:48I don't have like anything else on my car that's FDF but the
- 2:06:50brace it ties together the toe arms to two bolts on the bottom
- 2:06:55of the diff. I've seen that one today.
- 2:06:56It's huge. And then a bolt at the top end
- 2:06:58of the subframe. So most of them just do like
- 2:07:01like I think you have. Yeah, just one, just.
- 2:07:03One bolt down to the one part of the diff so it's it's better but
- 2:07:07this one really like ties everything together and your
- 2:07:10diff doesn't move. That's that big of a risk, like
- 2:07:13with. That Oh yeah, yeah, the biggest
- 2:07:14upgrade I think that made my car felt great and you guys could
- 2:07:17probably contest to this is like solid diff bushings in the rear
- 2:07:21and Poly, trans and Poly motor mounts.
- 2:07:23Like yo motor mounts all of us. We changed them.
- 2:07:26They were Z Motor mounts are terrible.
- 2:07:28Yeah, they are. They are.
- 2:07:29And they break. Yeah, I think, yeah.
- 2:07:31So they're filled with Oh yeah, or something like that.
- 2:07:33Yeah, Yeah. They break pretty often because
- 2:07:35that's actually a job that we get called about a lot and it's
- 2:07:38not. An easy job, No?
- 2:07:40We spent on this stuff. That was one of those Friday
- 2:07:43before. I just got the parts Thursday.
- 2:07:45I'm going to put these engine mounts in Friday.
- 2:07:47So this weekend I have Poly motor mounts.
- 2:07:49Should have done. Thursdays, man, in the two hours
- 2:07:52on the install time. Well, the first phone was in in
- 2:07:55an hour. The passenger side one was stock
- 2:07:58manifolds. The bolt is against the
- 2:08:00manifold. So you have to like you have to
- 2:08:02put a wrench on the bolt and then use a pry bar.
- 2:08:05That's the best way I found is put a wrench on it and then pry
- 2:08:08bar and you just like this you're turning it like a. 16th
- 2:08:11of a turn. At a time and you have to crank
- 2:08:14that to like what is the foot pounds like?
- 2:08:16I think it's like 60 or 80I. Don't think it's that high, but
- 2:08:19still. It's still like you have to get
- 2:08:20that top nut off and mine was seized, so we were like.
- 2:08:24I think the method, I don't quote me on this, but I think
- 2:08:27sometimes we either have to drop the subframe or do some crazy
- 2:08:30shit. I don't know like.
- 2:08:32Suspend engine if you have stock headers and if you have like AC,
- 2:08:35it's real hard on the one side. Like it's just almost impossible
- 2:08:39to get to. You're just like, how am I even?
- 2:08:41The factory labor time on that job is crazy.
- 2:08:43I think they expect you to pull the motor out.
- 2:08:45Aftermarket, the aftermarket headers curved, so you really
- 2:08:48can just get a socket in there and turn it like the OEM ones
- 2:08:51just sit on it for a factor. You make you like drop the
- 2:08:53subframe? Yeah, you have to hold the
- 2:08:55engine up with a brace or something like that in between
- 2:08:57the strut towers. Yeah, we're always holding up
- 2:08:59VQS in. Here I've noticed that because.
- 2:09:02Because the upper oil pans always leak too, so.
- 2:09:05Yeah, that job, right, Right. Yeah.
- 2:09:10The gallery gasket I think is a bad one on those two.
- 2:09:13Like that's that's something with the timing isn't it?
- 2:09:16What on top? I know it's just oil sets in the
- 2:09:18gallery, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot
- 2:09:21of little problems with that. It's really just oil leaks,
- 2:09:23honestly. Yeah, It's like, yeah.
- 2:09:26All right. That was, yeah, that was a
- 2:09:27really good quote. You guys are dropping a lot of
- 2:09:29VQ information on this podcast, so I'm definitely thankful for
- 2:09:32that. VQ Boys.
- 2:09:34EQ Boys. What's the dream track to drive
- 2:09:37with with the boys? US air.
- 2:09:39US Air, yeah. OK, that's.
- 2:09:40We're gonna do AVS and this guy feels so good.
- 2:09:43I'm AVS would be easy for you all is that?
- 2:09:46Apple Valley Range. Someday we want to ship the cars
- 2:09:49out there, fly in. Drive if they were to do like a
- 2:09:51Super D event, yeah, like. Super D we want to do or like
- 2:09:54Nye, like the New Year's Eve one.
- 2:09:56Yeah, or drive them home. No, no ship.
- 2:09:59Them there and back like that would be like our big thing of
- 2:10:01the year. This guy said this was four O 9
- 2:10:03screwed that asked that and he also said you guys have a sick
- 2:10:06name so I agree with him. Thank you.
- 2:10:08Yeah, the name is is amazing. And someone else said what
- 2:10:11pushes you to drift? No, I.
- 2:10:15Get it? We're chasing the high level
- 2:10:18driving like we look up to Front Street, animal style and style
- 2:10:23like we want to drive these cars.
- 2:10:26Close. Aggressive driving, yeah.
- 2:10:27And that's kind of why we like didn't make them look cool at
- 2:10:30first. We kind of like we made our
- 2:10:33mistakes in the beginning. We there's still mistakes made
- 2:10:36all the time, but like, we didn't want to make our cars
- 2:10:39look phenomenal or great or whatever and then just smash
- 2:10:42them up or be scared to drive them, Yeah.
- 2:10:45Yeah. And like if we if we did have
- 2:10:46cool cars at that time, like there wasn't, we weren't always
- 2:10:49on doors and stuff like that. So it would like push away from
- 2:10:53everybody attracting to the the team getting.
- 2:10:55Closer to drive, yeah. And like missile mentality, the
- 2:10:57missile mentality boys on a, you know those guys.
- 2:10:59From Evergreen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:11:01BMW. Guys, missile mentality is an
- 2:11:02awesome name. The one.
- 2:11:04Dude, they painted this guy. Is this the guy where like I
- 2:11:08fell asleep? I don't know their name painted
- 2:11:10him. They painted the car a different
- 2:11:12color. Yeah, A.
- 2:11:13Different color. And some Evergreen shit, I'm
- 2:11:15telling you. OK, that's why the.
- 2:11:17Kid woke up, I don't know their names.
- 2:11:19This is the funniest thing I've ever.
- 2:11:21Heard like that's. Amazing.
- 2:11:23I think all their cars were white Saturday and they painted
- 2:11:25them all black overnight. So that Sunday they drove with
- 2:11:29black cars and then there was this other one that they it was
- 2:11:32a four door. They started grabbing the doors
- 2:11:34from another car and swapping them on to the other car.
- 2:11:38Those guys RIP. And just to just to hit on that
- 2:11:41question again, I think a big part of like why we're kind of
- 2:11:46like, at least I can speak for myself, so obsessed with
- 2:11:49drifting. Like we come from BMX in where
- 2:11:51literally every day after school was like going to park and
- 2:11:54progressing and, and riding like trying to learn that new trick
- 2:11:58and getting that adrenaline from learning that new trick or
- 2:12:00pushing yourself to do a gap that you didn't want to do.
- 2:12:02But unfortunately, like you hear it when you're younger, like as
- 2:12:06you get older, you're going, you're going to kind of get out
- 2:12:08of biking, which I didn't think I was going to.
- 2:12:10But then you kind of hit that half 20s, you take some wrecks,
- 2:12:13you you start hurting yourself. I destroyed my shoulder two
- 2:12:16years ago. Nate broke his hand two years
- 2:12:18ago. So like.
- 2:12:19You're poor hands, man. I don't know.
- 2:12:22Oh my God. So now it's like, you can't
- 2:12:26really, like we can't hop on a bike and get that adrenaline
- 2:12:29rush anymore. So it's like now we can hop in a
- 2:12:31car, go as hard as we can. I mean, we're not going to
- 2:12:33destroy our body if we mess up. It might just lose a chassis.
- 2:12:39It's a lot safer than taking a spill on a snowboard or a bike
- 2:12:43and being out of work for two months.
- 2:12:44Like it's hard to do that once you're older.
- 2:12:46My first event missile mentality.
- 2:12:49Their cars were all smashed up and we watched them get bumped
- 2:12:53to a that that event. They just they drove their car
- 2:12:56so hard and like, I like watching them drive better than
- 2:13:00like some V8 car that some pro looking car like they they go at
- 2:13:04the enter, the end, they go at the entry as fast as they can
- 2:13:08every time. And that's what we do.
- 2:13:09Like we are balls to the wall from the launch and and get
- 2:13:13there quick. Like some people want to slow up
- 2:13:15and and drive close the whole time.
- 2:13:19I don't know what I'm trying to say, but like, I love trying to
- 2:13:22go as fast as possible at entry and like that's what we all did
- 2:13:25and that's kind of like what made our team great.
- 2:13:27I think having the same car to the same setup is really helping
- 2:13:31a lot because you know you guys can all do the same exact thing.
- 2:13:34No one's got to think about anything different like.
- 2:13:36General excitement, too, is just like you're just driving up to
- 2:13:40turn 1 flying. Yeah, that's like heart rate's
- 2:13:44got to be pumping pretty good, like I don't.
- 2:13:46Did the VQ screaming? Yeah, the VQ.
- 2:13:49You don't even hear lenses. You gotta.
- 2:13:51Get fully stock exhaust that's. Amazing.
- 2:13:54Like did anyone like? Completely stock.
- 2:13:57Oh, I ever tried Nismo. Enismo exhaust?
- 2:13:58I heard that was the best exhaust.
- 2:14:00Yeah, no. I tried you guys got to find one
- 2:14:02of those because I heard that one was like the.
- 2:14:04It's a nice time. Yeah, like it's it doesn't make
- 2:14:06it sound ridiculous. I had a buddy of mine with a
- 2:14:09supercharged 1 and which blew up and the Nismo exhaust.
- 2:14:14Was quiet as fuck. Yeah.
- 2:14:15But you could hear a little tone.
- 2:14:17I wanna be able to. Hear a little tone I could
- 2:14:18barely hear. Yeah, I don't think.
- 2:14:21Matt's car you can hear across the track.
- 2:14:23No, Joe someone you got the tomei.
- 2:14:25On there, no. I got the exhaust leaks no.
- 2:14:30I'm saying someone said was end style and inspiration for their
- 2:14:32color. Also rear window exploding at
- 2:14:36vibe was insane. Nothing is so cool.
- 2:14:39And Sal definitely has a big. You guys brought it up, that's
- 2:14:42why I wanted to ask. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- 2:14:44Huge inspiration. Also sucked in case you.
- 2:14:46Painted those I wanted maybe, maybe outside.
- 2:14:49Wrapped up. Yeah, no.
- 2:14:50Oh, so those are. Painted.
- 2:14:51No. I painted those outside in a
- 2:14:53cornfield. Damn.
- 2:14:55Yeah. Be proud of that, my first.
- 2:14:57Time with metal flake too. Yeah, that's a wet sanding.
- 2:15:00When they first came out, it was like.
- 2:15:03We didn't use one. Dude.
- 2:15:05I used the wrong interview. I saw how flaky it was and I was
- 2:15:08like, how long were you standing this for?
- 2:15:11We wet stand in his car for like 19 hours I think.
- 2:15:14Before we cleared a lot of flake in there, dude, yeah.
- 2:15:17It's flake. It's black and then flake over
- 2:15:19top. Wow.
- 2:15:21And they're. Big.
- 2:15:22That's cool that they're painted though.
- 2:15:23Thank God they're not wrapped. They're big flakes, so it's like
- 2:15:25when the sun hits it too, Like, yeah.
- 2:15:27All the they look different every lighting it's cool.
- 2:15:30Yeah. See the car like sometimes they
- 2:15:31look darker, sometimes like ruin the sun.
- 2:15:33They look shiny, like all the sparkles just hit you at the
- 2:15:36same. Time did you guys just paint
- 2:15:37those at that twin of Drift event because those cars look
- 2:15:39pretty fresh yeah. It was right before Vibes.
- 2:15:43Vibes was June might have been. It was like in the middle of
- 2:15:48June. Yeah, I think it was June.
- 2:15:49We had all three cars. I did his car in like 9 days.
- 2:15:53You. Seem like you're keeping him
- 2:15:54pretty clean so far. Yeah.
- 2:15:55Nothing crazy. Yeah.
- 2:15:56Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
- 2:15:57whoa. No.
- 2:15:58Pushing though. It's January.
- 2:16:00No, I'm just saying. Like when I saw that they.
- 2:16:01Made it through the year though last year.
- 2:16:03Only one door is one door, and like a little bit of Fender.
- 2:16:06And that was the Fender guy a little bit.
- 2:16:07That was everyone. No, it was the door.
- 2:16:10Twin drifted. Yeah, Twin drift, Yeah.
- 2:16:11Door. I thought it was everyone.
- 2:16:14No. That's a good year.
- 2:16:16Though I guess we could end with this.
- 2:16:17There's a lot of questions in here by the way, that I didn't
- 2:16:19ask, but you guys answered all the questions already.
- 2:16:21So it was a lot of VQ stuff and just just a lot of specific
- 2:16:26like, oh, what's your favorite engine, this and that.
- 2:16:28And we kind of covered everything.
- 2:16:31The last one is if you were going to change anything about
- 2:16:33drifting culture or the industry, what would it be?
- 2:16:36Let. Me think about this for a
- 2:16:39second. That's a good question.
- 2:16:42Yeah, that's why I want to finish it on that one.
- 2:16:45One thing before we finish, I want to say like our goals for
- 2:16:49the year are like we're chasing, we're chasing the final bout
- 2:16:52thing and we want to. We just got all our applications
- 2:16:55in for Drift Appalachia. We don't know if we're going to
- 2:16:57get accepted, but we think, we think our driving's there like
- 2:17:02we drive home fast tracks. We may not have tandem at Club
- 2:17:05Loose or something like that, but.
- 2:17:08Yeah, a lot more Club Blues this year too.
- 2:17:10Yeah, we're trying to be Club Blues kids, yeah.
- 2:17:12Yeah, that's the point of the cages and stuff like that.
- 2:17:14Like we want to tan them. We're gonna go to Club Blues and
- 2:17:16we're not gonna be able to tan them, so it's gonna suck.
- 2:17:18But I hope you guys get to Appalachians.
- 2:17:20But that would be crazy, is what it is.
- 2:17:21You gotta go. Yeah, another thing putting on
- 2:17:23for the Z's like the stock Z's there would be sick.
- 2:17:26Yeah, if there's anything I would be nervous about, it's
- 2:17:29that shit that mountain driving looks.
- 2:17:31Crazy. Yeah, I was watching it it.
- 2:17:33Is but that's cool that you guys want to do that so Frankie,
- 2:17:36you'd be sick of you. I would be so scared to do that
- 2:17:39shit dude. I would be shitting out my ass
- 2:17:42man. Like track with people behind
- 2:17:44me, whatever. A fucking mountain with people
- 2:17:47coming down the mountain behind you.
- 2:17:48Fucking crazy. That's that's wild.
- 2:17:50That's the adrenaline part, that we're like chase.
- 2:17:52It's literally like a drug. Like we're chasing that
- 2:17:54adrenaline like a drug. Yeah.
- 2:17:56No, it makes sense. I mean, there was a question
- 2:17:58here. Makes this sound like fucking
- 2:18:00drug addicts. Get that high man.
- 2:18:04Just gotta get that high. Every time we talk about it, we.
- 2:18:06Can sit there and just be like, yeah, I spent like $30,000 into
- 2:18:09my car in the past year, like. Four, $30,000 into meth this is.
- 2:18:13Actually. Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 2:18:14Like, yeah. And what is the first the first
- 2:18:16question everyone asks you? Did you make any money from Yup
- 2:18:19Yup? Did you win?
- 2:18:21Fuck, no, I don't know. Oh, so you competing in events?
- 2:18:23Yeah, basically. Yeah, now we just do it for fun.
- 2:18:25Why So what do you win? Why isn't you passing the other
- 2:18:28guy like he could have passed them there?
- 2:18:29Yeah. Wait, So what do you win?
- 2:18:31We don't win anything. Wait, So what did?
- 2:18:33You get, you got. Those are the Co worker
- 2:18:36questions. Well, the the last the last one
- 2:18:38you was gonna. Say, can you say that question
- 2:18:39again? Yeah, if you were going to
- 2:18:40change anything about drifting culture or the industry, what
- 2:18:43would it be? Honestly, I like, I like the
- 2:18:48culture. I think it's people think that
- 2:18:51it's more like people are more standoffish, but a lot of us are
- 2:18:54like the same person where we're like antisocial until the ice is
- 2:18:58broken. Like there's so many times where
- 2:19:01you feel like you can't talk to someone beside you in the pits.
- 2:19:03But if you just break the ice and talk to that person that
- 2:19:05could be your best friend, that you see it at every event that
- 2:19:08you go to because you're local people.
- 2:19:10Like I think the community is super welcoming.
- 2:19:12I wouldn't change anything about it besides the fact of like
- 2:19:17people hating on like pro driving kind of stuff.
- 2:19:21Like, I don't know. Yeah, going into that, I feel
- 2:19:24like the only thing I can really say about.
- 2:19:26Everyone has their own Ave. Community, I feel like there's
- 2:19:28different types of drifting, you know what I mean?
- 2:19:30Like there's those pro guys with a lot of money that just do pro.
- 2:19:32They didn't have no idea what Evergreen in grass roots stuff
- 2:19:35is, you know what I mean? And then there's another section
- 2:19:37where it's like all style has to you have to have original arrow
- 2:19:39to be cool, you know what I mean?
- 2:19:41Or you have to do final bout type of things.
- 2:19:43And those guys usually hate on the other two types of drifting.
- 2:19:45Like, there's different types of drifting.
- 2:19:47And it should be OK to have that beater thrash car that you don't
- 2:19:49care about. You're just trying to go out
- 2:19:51there and get the labs, chase the adrenaline.
- 2:19:52And then it should be OK with like, you know, people actually
- 2:19:55trying to style up their cars and stuff like that.
- 2:19:57It's just completely different. Yeah.
- 2:20:00I agree with that. The more in the community the
- 2:20:02better. Kind of like when we were
- 2:20:04little, we used to hate on Hondas, but Hondas are cool now.
- 2:20:07I miss my Honda like so much more money when I had a Honda.
- 2:20:11Honda's been cool. Yeah, fucking when it was an
- 2:20:13integrity, dude, you, you did not have to burn tires like
- 2:20:16crazy every weekend. Fucking.
- 2:20:19Simple. Yeah, having a, having just a
- 2:20:21nice Street car, dude, every time I walk out there, see that
- 2:20:23FRS out there, I'm like, that's fucking me up.
- 2:20:26Oh my God, yeah. Yeah, dude, he has 6 chassis.
- 2:20:30I think that's the next chassis. Yo, he can go out there and
- 2:20:32drive that right now. I love those cars.
- 2:20:34And that thing has. So if you keep looking at that
- 2:20:36car that has so many just like little trinkets on it, he gets.
- 2:20:39Seats. I noticed the seats today when
- 2:20:41we're pushing it. I was like, Oh my God, he's got
- 2:20:43the new. Zeta 4 He's done well.
- 2:20:45Yeah, that's gonna be, I think. I know a lot of people say it
- 2:20:47already, but that's gonna be probably like the next chassis,
- 2:20:49just because I know a lot of like as chassis.
- 2:20:53When they first came out, they had all that arrow like factory.
- 2:20:56Yeah, trinkets and stuff like that you can buy separately.
- 2:20:58Yeah, same with that car. You know, they make so many
- 2:21:01different things for that car that eventually they're not
- 2:21:03gonna make anymore. So so I really wanted the new
- 2:21:05one like really bad. And then I heard a rumor that
- 2:21:08Toyota might be putting their own engine in the next 1 and I
- 2:21:12was like fuck. I mean I can't buy a car right
- 2:21:15now anyway but. I was about to be like.
- 2:21:16Obviously. Malcolm, did he just hit the
- 2:21:20Lotto? The next one?
- 2:21:21Like next version of the chassis or like next?
- 2:21:24I think it's going to be the next version.
- 2:21:26They're not going to use the same chassis because that
- 2:21:28chassis designed around that engine really.
- 2:21:30So they'd have to change something in the front.
- 2:21:32But yeah, I don't know. I'm I'm interested.
- 2:21:35I mean, is it going to look the same?
- 2:21:36I fucking hope it does, because the way that car looks is why
- 2:21:40it's nice. Like it's low in the front, it's
- 2:21:42wide, like it's the center of gravity is low because that
- 2:21:47engine, good car. Yeah.
- 2:21:48So I don't know what's gonna happen with the next engine, but
- 2:21:50the only thing people don't like about that car is the engine,
- 2:21:53engine, engine. So it's like if they were going
- 2:21:55to change it and they were going to put that sick 3 cylinder that
- 2:21:58they have is. That what they were.
- 2:21:59Talking about, yeah. Oh that would be cool.
- 2:22:02That would be and it. Would even if it was NA I'd.
- 2:22:04Still, that would sound real good like.
- 2:22:06Drifting it would probably. Yeah, even if it was another NA
- 2:22:09motor, I wouldn't care. I just don't really want a flat
- 2:22:114 in that thing. They they kind of can't really
- 2:22:14take the abuse it seems like so. But yeah, anything else you guys
- 2:22:17want to end this one on? Or I will say just going back to
- 2:22:22like the standoffish thing, I feel like a lot of Drifters are
- 2:22:25just like kind of not. I'm antisocial and quiet the
- 2:22:28track. But when I was first getting
- 2:22:30into driving, I've never gotten a ride along.
- 2:22:33My first time in a drift car was me drifting.
- 2:22:36Show up to the events and don't be scared just going up and
- 2:22:39asking for ride longs. And the biggest thing that would
- 2:22:42help you just even if you are interested in drifting and like
- 2:22:45want Rylongs, buy your own helmet because that's the
- 2:22:48biggest thing. People don't want you throwing
- 2:22:50on like a helmet that you're all sweaty in.
- 2:22:52If you show up with your own helmet, people are going to do
- 2:22:54Rylongs. Damn, I actually never heard of
- 2:22:57anybody advising to do. That yeah, make sure it's SAS
- 2:22:591820 yeah, get. The correct helmet because buy
- 2:23:01it ahead of time, you have it as a passenger.
- 2:23:03You people are going to say you have the correct helmet because
- 2:23:06the tracks are getting a lot stricter with not letting dot
- 2:23:09helmets on. So buy an SA helmet, you're
- 2:23:11ready to drive once you get a car then like get in the car and
- 2:23:14ride. I went to make 20 club loose
- 2:23:16events before I ever read ruin the car with.
- 2:23:19Someone you're just never to ask anyone.
- 2:23:21Yeah, like as soon as I ruin the car I called the bug like.
- 2:23:23Yeah, actually I. Don't warn, I warn.
- 2:23:26I warn people to get. If you don't want to get hooked
- 2:23:28on something, don't get in the car.
- 2:23:31And I just just the touch on that, we never really talked
- 2:23:33about that before people asking for ride alongs.
- 2:23:36I actually talked. I think the best thing to do is
- 2:23:39maybe go up to the person when they're out of their car, start
- 2:23:41a conversation, explain that you're here, you're trying to
- 2:23:44see drifting, and then maybe bring it up, you know, because
- 2:23:47that'll make the driver feel a lot more interested in giving
- 2:23:49you a ride. Along versus just.
- 2:23:50Jumping up to him. We're big ride along guys, like
- 2:23:53every time you can tell the people that are just sitting
- 2:23:55there just wanting to yell. Yeah, yeah, like I.
- 2:23:56Kind of want to get in the car, like if I see somebody like
- 2:23:58that, we yo come here. You want to ride along.
- 2:24:00I know you do we. Bring an.
- 2:24:02Extra helmet to the track and we bring like the sockskin.
- 2:24:05You guys are like the heroes. That's that's.
- 2:24:07Amazing. Well, a lot of people don't
- 2:24:08like. For the grill.
- 2:24:09Yeah, main reason. Well, I, I really like doing
- 2:24:12that and I like, I remember the one time we did this one event
- 2:24:15RSD, it was like a truck show. They invited us to do ride
- 2:24:18alongs and they like paid ride alongs.
- 2:24:20OK. We were getting paid and I felt
- 2:24:22bad 'cause these people were paying like 40 bucks.
- 2:24:24Yeah, for like 2 laps. They were like, yeah, go ahead,
- 2:24:2540 bucks, only two laps. I'll take them out there 6 laps.
- 2:24:28You know what I mean? I'm like, I feel like driving
- 2:24:31with with a person that never been drifted before.
- 2:24:34It's fun. Yeah, it is fun.
- 2:24:35You try to show off and stuff like that.
- 2:24:37Like the first time I went to Club Blues, it was like one of
- 2:24:39my first church events ever spectating.
- 2:24:41I walked around the pits. I asked every single person for
- 2:24:44a ride along. Every single person.
- 2:24:46Only one person said yes, but I needed my own helmet.
- 2:24:48That was rich white man. So shout out to rich white man.
- 2:24:50Yeah. And I never ended up finding a
- 2:24:52helmet, so I didn't get that in that day.
- 2:24:54But but that's why I think back. I'm like, yo, I'm going to give
- 2:24:57everybody a ride along. It's like I asked people,
- 2:24:59they're just sitting there, yo, you want to ride along?
- 2:25:00I got. You.
- 2:25:01That's cool, man. Yeah, and like they remember you
- 2:25:02for that. Like if you're the first person
- 2:25:04to ride along, you always remember that first ride along.
- 2:25:06I'm trying to think of who I've. Taking that.
- 2:25:09No, I'm trying to think of like when I got into a car, I don't
- 2:25:11think I ever got a ride along prior I it was just driving the
- 2:25:16car. Well, that's because probably
- 2:25:18drifting wasn't as big back then, but now drifting is so
- 2:25:20big. No, it's.
- 2:25:21Literally the helmet thing that's like I remembered being
- 2:25:25younger and going like, can I get a ride along?
- 2:25:27Oh yeah. Do you have a helmet?
- 2:25:27I don't have one. Do you have a helmet?
- 2:25:29Yeah, like. Just make that investment 'cause
- 2:25:30I mean, you're gonna hop in the car, you're gonna wanna drive,
- 2:25:33get SA2020, it'll be good for at least, what, five years?
- 2:25:36So yeah. You.
- 2:25:36See us all that piece of advice? Yeah, it is.
- 2:25:38You see us at the track, please ask us for a ride along like
- 2:25:41there you go there. You go, these are the guys.
- 2:25:43Yeah, come find us. Yeah.
- 2:25:44Not me, my passenger seat belt don't work.
- 2:25:47You'll be flying out Carl's car. All right.
- 2:25:49On that note, I guess thank you guys for coming out.
- 2:25:51Appreciate for coming on. I know probably have yes to get
- 2:25:54over. Here, big fans of the pod,
- 2:25:56thanks. Mandy, I appreciate.
- 2:25:57One last thing I want to say that a huge impact when was the
- 2:26:02Faction Christmas video from 2015?
- 2:26:07Yeah, the the one with the wrapping paper, probably 16 or
- 2:26:1015. Yeah, I think it was 2015.
- 2:26:11I was in study hall. I want to say that video in the
- 2:26:14animal style parking lot. Yeah, like two of the biggest
- 2:26:17impactful videos. That's cool, man.
- 2:26:20Like starting my drift in that animal style.
- 2:26:22Video was amazing. Yeah.
- 2:26:24I don't know you guys Christmas videos.

- 2:26:34it way better than that? Way.
- 2:26:35Better. Than that that's.
- 2:26:36Why Foundation? That was what I think.
- 2:26:38About that, No dude, I think about this all the time because
- 2:26:41I'm like, what did they really do in that video?
- 2:26:44Drifting on RAM, that's the real drifting to me.
- 2:26:46That's the thing that. I flew off the car.
- 2:26:48It was just like. You got the Chrome Johnny's on
- 2:26:51like video it. Was funny, yeah.
- 2:26:53That's why, yeah. And you're just having fun.
- 2:26:55That's what's crazy is like you guys are driving at a level that
- 2:26:59is way beyond that. You know what I mean?
- 2:27:00It's just a progression. Progression and drift.

- 2:28:22Team Push, What a great group of guys.
- 2:28:24Yes, Sir. Again, another episode with what
- 2:28:28do we call it, that vibe that. Team dynamic.
- 2:28:31That dynamic, that team dynamic synergy.
- 2:28:34Yeah, it's weird. I don't know.
- 2:28:37I remember when we started our drift team, it was like it was
- 2:28:40pretty hard to get everyone on board like with the same.
- 2:28:42Matching things and. Stuff, yeah, like way the cars
- 2:28:45are going to look this, what events are we going into?
- 2:28:48Oh, this that. Nowadays it seems like
- 2:28:52everyone's kind of a little bit more.
- 2:28:53Yeah, they're just like, all right, let's go.
- 2:28:55Yeah, everyone is kind of on board.
- 2:28:57At least the last few teams that we had on in here, they seem
- 2:29:00pretty like, I guess like what do you call it, connected?
- 2:29:05Yeah, they're on the same. Same wavelength that exactly.
- 2:29:09But yeah, they're a cool, cool team.
- 2:29:11They have a lot of like wisdom and, you know, for, for their
- 2:29:18age, I guess. Because some of them, yeah.
- 2:29:20Bro, they're all like married. Yeah, they're not all married,
- 2:29:23but. No, they two of them are
- 2:29:24engaged. No, I think only one was.
- 2:29:26Me and Carl sitting here, like, damn, we're like fucking 40
- 2:29:28years old and we're losers. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:29:32But. Yeah, they were funny, they were
- 2:29:33wise. They had a lot to like, a lot of
- 2:29:36intelligent info to share about ZS.
- 2:29:39Yeah, a lot of information about 350 ZS in that conversation.
- 2:29:42So I'm glad we were able to do that and the cars look good,
- 2:29:48they drive really good. Yeah, I remember when I saw that
- 2:29:51the twin drift event, those two ZS, I was like, those are
- 2:29:54actually pretty nice. Yeah, those are nice cars.
- 2:29:57They. Sounded nice too.
- 2:29:58Yeah, they didn't sound crazy and the driving was insane.
- 2:30:01So yeah, yeah, good luck to those guys.
- 2:30:03I think they're going to go pretty far.
- 2:30:05I love how they were like, oh man, the hate the Z hate this
- 2:30:08and that. I'm like, I don't.
- 2:30:09I think you guys are blown out of proportion.
- 2:30:11There definitely is a lot of Z hate.
- 2:30:12But I guess there is. But like, I am the hater, you
- 2:30:15know what I mean? Like I'm one of them and I
- 2:30:17don't. I don't, yeah.
- 2:30:19Hate those cars I think. They're you can only it doesn't
- 2:30:23matter the car. Some people hate cars, but when
- 2:30:27you see a nice one, you know to appreciate it.
- 2:30:29Like that's that's what it feels like with these.
- 2:30:31When you see a nice one, you, you know you got to appreciate.
- 2:30:33It and the people that don't, I got one thing to say.
- 2:30:36Fuck them, they're just ignorant.
- 2:30:37Yeah, just don't listen to them. I told them when they were here
- 2:30:39and like, don't listen to those guys.
- 2:30:40Just do what you got to do. You guys have a matching team.
- 2:30:42You guys all drive good together.
- 2:30:44The cars sound good. Yeah, I believe they'll be a
- 2:30:46fine about I think they. Will be too.
- 2:30:48Yeah, I'm, I'm not really concerned about that.
- 2:30:51I think they're going to, they're going to hit all their
- 2:30:53goals. Yeah.
