#192 - Q&A: February 2026 · After-Hours with Faction! Motorsports

0:00
Now you understand why people don't like you.
0:02
Is that like not OK? Are we not allowed to get
0:05
criticism anymore? Do you guys criticize my
0:07
everyday? There's obviously going to be a
0:09
different event for you. Exactly.
0:11
Like go to that event. That's exactly.
0:13
A week for that time. You don't have to drift with the
0:15
rest of us here. When somebody tells you that
0:18
your kid is ugly, it's a sting. It's a cut and it hurts because
0:24
you're like, I've just put in mad work and I love this thing.
0:27
I love my kid. Whatever you've done that you're
0:29
proud of, you love it and it and somebody else's isn't as stoked
0:32
about it. You can't be mad about that.
0:35
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Faction
0:37
After Hours podcast. Today we did a short one.
0:41
We did AQ and A, we had some places we had to be and Tom
0:45
Nazaro cancelled his podcast appointment.
0:48
So if you guys could go on his comments on Instagram, that'd be
0:50
great. We've been trying to get him in
0:52
here for about a month, but apparently he's got a family now
0:55
or something. I don't know a lot of lot of
0:57
stuff going on, but yeah, so just a short one tonight.
1:00
We covered a lot of stuff here. We talked about, we kind of did
1:04
a recap of our podcast with Josh and the Knuckle Up stuff.
1:11
Basically the cars that were post it on their social media.
1:18
I guess what they do at Knuckle Up in Texas is they post the
1:20
cars up on social media and then basically the people need to
1:24
vote on if these cars should be allowed to drift at their event.
1:29
Pretty crazy. Some people would say this is
1:33
wild gatekeeping something. I don't know, but I actually
1:37
think it's kind of a cool idea. But yeah, tune into that episode
1:40
if you want to check out what we what we did originally because
1:42
we recap that for about 20 minutes on this podcast.
1:46
Yeah, A lot of people got upset that we were quote UN quote,
1:49
roasting their cars. I don't.
1:51
I think we're being very nice. But yeah, so we covered that.
1:54
We talked about aliens, we talked about ghosts, you know,
1:56
all the typical things you'd find in a drifting podcast.
1:59
And yeah, that was really it. So hope you enjoy it.
2:02
It's just me and Carl, you know, Banter.
2:05
Is that a word, Eddie? Banter entering I don't think
2:08
it's a word but you guys get what I'm saying.
2:10
Before jumping into this please check out our sponsors East
2:12
Coast Drift School. They got you covered when it
2:14
comes to getting your seat time in this winter.
2:15
Limitless auto fab for all your vehicles.
2:17
Bash bar needs Chase bays. They always got great new
2:20
products in the works for braking, power steering and any
2:23
oil system on the vehicle. Ramstead MFG They offer a great
2:27
wheel fitment tool. We saw them here at the shop.
2:30
Make sure to get one of those wrecked magazine, the best way
2:33
to keep up with drifting subculture.
2:35
They are an actual print magazine that comes out
2:37
quarterly. So check out their website.
2:39
You can subscribe there. And we actually just got a bunch
2:41
of these in the shop. So if you want to pick up one of
2:44
them here, feel free to walk in anytime and of course, AG one to
2:49
help keep your body working the way it should while wrenching in
2:51
the garage during this offseason.
2:53
Links are in the description below.
2:55
Just a reminder, we are giving away products every month over
2:58
on factionmotorsports.com. Every $5 spent gets you one
3:01
entry and Faction Motorsports Merchant products get you double
3:04
entries for our website raffle. This month we are giving away a
3:07
set of front and rear bash bars from Limitless Auto Fab, so make
3:11
sure to get those orders in for your chance to win.
3:13
If you don't know what a bash bar is, that's probably a good
3:16
thing, but it's better to know now than to find out when it's
3:18
too late. A bash bar is a term Drifters
3:21
use for a vehicle's crash bar. This is the first thing the
3:24
front and rear of your car touches when it makes contact
3:27
with something it shouldn't. And let's face it, the cars we
3:30
use for drifting are sometimes older and past their prime.
3:33
The metal is weak and just waiting for an excuse to fold.
3:36
Limitless bash bars can potentially save you thousands
3:38
in repairs on a frame machine. Limitless Auto Fab is a
3:41
fabrication company located in Annoy that we have been working
3:44
with for years. They offer the best bash bars in
3:46
the game, which is a part that you might not think you need,
3:49
but trust me, as I'm speaking from experience, you will regret
3:52
it when you get into that first crash when drifting and your
3:55
whole front end crumbles. Now this raffle only applies to
3:58
the bash bars they carry, so make sure to check out their
4:00
website or our website to see if they have what you need.
4:03
I also heard that they are releasing bars for a few more
4:05
vehicles soon, so keep an eye out for that.
4:07
This giveaway will cover those as well if they are released,
4:10
I'd say in the next month or so. Anyway, what did I miss last
4:25
week? Welcome everybody to the Faction
4:27
After Hours podcast. We're going to bring you another
4:28
episode. I'm back and we're back in the
4:31
office. We're we're back in the humble
4:33
abode, the Dojo, the lobby. So last week me and Josh just
4:38
talk shit about people's cars. Which cars and why?
4:42
Knuckle up. Oh, that's right, that's right,
4:44
that's right, that's right. So that.
4:47
Yeah, people got upset. Yeah, I don't really get why
4:49
people are getting upset though. Now you under, now you
4:51
understand why people don't like you.
4:53
Is that like not OK? Are we not allowed to get
4:56
criticism anymore? Do you guys criticize my shit
4:58
every day? Yeah.
5:00
And to be honest, we weren't even being mean.
5:03
Josh was. I know Josh pretty well.
5:06
He was not even remotely. Well, maybe he should have been.
5:10
That's kind of what I. If you're going to fucking take
5:12
the risk, if you're going to pull the trigger, just fucking
5:13
point it in the right direction. Just say.
5:15
It just say it, what is it? And he'd be like for you.
5:19
It's good. So many people probably fucking
5:21
hate me or whatever too like because.
5:23
Yeah, Eddie made it reel of it. And then it seemed like people
5:26
were upset and I was like, well that sucks.
5:28
That's awesome dude. You pissed a lot of people off.
5:30
That's dope. It was definitely the reel with
5:31
the most interaction. That's sick.
5:34
People really get buttered about that huh?
5:36
I guess. Dude, build your car for
5:38
yourself, build your car for yourself and none of this would
5:39
be a problem. Malcolm, do you think it was
5:41
crazy? Hello.
5:46
I don't think it was that crazy. No, it was.
5:47
It was really, really. Tame.
5:49
What? What could you possibly say?
5:51
Here's another stock cost. It was like constructive
5:55
criticism. Is that one of the pretty good?
5:57
He listens to all of these. Dude, he's probably fucking
6:01
sitting behind that bus fuming. Hey, Josh.
6:04
No, but there. 'D be like photos of, I don't
6:07
know, like he'd be clicking and be like, that one's good.
6:10
That one's good. If anything, Josh was like, no,
6:14
Josh was meaner than me because I'd see one and I'd be like, I'd
6:17
see potential and I'd be like, well, I don't want to say no
6:20
because like this car, like he obviously he's going to go
6:23
somewhere with his car. Like, yeah, well, that's when
6:26
you got to meet my friend Bryson.
6:28
OK. Because at the end of the day,
6:30
you don't like it. Yeah, yeah.
6:32
So just. Don't like it?
6:34
It's OK. But see, I well, these cars are
6:38
entering A knuckle up, right? So it's like.
6:42
You know the demographic going into this.
6:45
I don't think if you've if you didn't check out or if I don't
6:48
know if it's out yet, but if you do have the Patreon, you may
6:50
have already, but the Jimmy Yates pod, you already know.
6:55
You already know. I don't think a guy can make it
6:57
clearer. I think like what you want.
6:59
I think it's like a lot of people that are are entering
7:02
that shit don't understand what they're doing, like they don't
7:07
know what they're signing up for.
7:08
Well, like, did you think we know what we're doing?
7:10
No what I'm saying. I don't know what I was signing
7:13
for. Knuckle up.
7:13
I would have a pretty good idea of what's going to make it and
7:17
what's not going to make it. And some of those cars, dude, I
7:21
was like, bro, come on, man, you're like you, you know, your
7:24
car is not the same as these other cars.
7:28
It was just, it's just weird. And yeah, it's all opinion based
7:30
obviously, but. Without like being all
7:34
segregated about this dude, but like, there's obviously going to
7:37
be a different event for you. Exactly.
7:40
Like go to that event. That's exactly.
7:42
Well, wait for that time. You don't have to drift with the
7:44
rest of us here. Yeah, like if you if you.
7:46
But I guess the the the real question is, do those people
7:50
think that their cars are nice, are good enough for not good
7:55
enough, let's say, are the right style for these events?
7:57
And I want to say, yeah, I think they do think that, which it's
7:59
the craziest part. OK, it's like I just hate
8:05
comparing it to myself, but I'm just a regular person too.
8:09
So I can be mad about it or I could be happy about it and and
8:12
I would just be another one of those people that are mad or
8:15
happy about it. And let's just get that
8:17
straight. I'm a nobody.
8:19
You're kind of a nobody. None of our shit matters.
8:21
So like if if I knew that and I knew I wanted my car to drive at
8:29
KU because I think the KU cars are sick.
8:34
And if I look at my car and I can't understand that there is a
8:38
difference between where my car is right now and where I need it
8:42
to be in order to fit that criteria, whatever it may be,
8:46
then then I clearly shouldn't be there.
8:49
Like you know what I mean? Like if I can't recognize that I
8:51
got to go put work in, then obviously I'm delusional as
8:55
fuck. Like if there's a criteria, meet
8:58
it. And if you don't meet it, big
9:00
fucking deal, go do something else that day.
9:03
I guess go for AI guess it just shocks me that people are that
9:06
like out of touch with what's going.
9:10
On it's not out of touch because you want to because now I'm
9:12
going to argue for that side too now because again, I'm a non
9:16
confrontational ass person and I'm going to have to play the
9:18
fucking fence every time, even though I would love to.
9:21
Not the that side is these kids or or or men and women put in a
9:28
lot of work to make that car the car that it is, whatever car it
9:32
may be. The way they want.
9:33
It whatever car it is and when somebody tells you that your kid
9:38
is ugly. Kids or car?
9:42
Your I'm just your child, your, your, your spawn.
9:45
Like I'm using it as an analogy, like when somebody is telling
9:49
you that it's ugly or they, they, they, they don't, they
9:52
don't meet this, they can't join this.
9:55
You cannot come in here because it it doesn't meet this.
9:58
Yeah. It's a sting, it's a fucking cut
10:02
and it hurts because you're like, I've just put in mad work
10:05
and I love this thing. I love my kid, I love my dog, I
10:09
love my house, my backyard. Whatever you've done that you're
10:12
proud of, you love it and it and somebody else's isn't as stoked
10:15
about it. You can't be mad about that.
10:17
Yeah, it's just weird to me you. Can't be mad about that.
10:20
You lost and there's winners and losers.
10:23
So you lost this one time, but you could win another time.
10:26
You could win another day. You can win another week.
10:29
You can wait. Pick a different place to win.
10:33
I don't know. You know there's other I.
10:34
Don't view it like winning though, you know what I mean?
10:36
I'm just trying to, yeah, boil it down.
10:38
Because of a comparison too. And I and I can't.
10:41
It's hard. Because everybody's brain
10:42
operates differently every time. It's, it's, it's inevitable to
10:46
get a room of 12 people to agree on the same thing.
10:49
That's the court system and it's impossible there.
10:52
It's just like some of those cars like it was.
10:54
It was just so. It's the It's the same thing as
10:57
entering your piece into an art gallery.
10:59
That's literally the same exact thing.
11:01
Yeah, and I'll go into an art gallery and see some dude eating
11:03
popcorn on the ground and they're like, yeah, I.
11:05
Hear that? Yeah, see, that's the problem,
11:07
because you know what I mean. Retarded.

12:18
OK, if you're perceiving in that situation, you're everybody's
12:23
attacking me. They don't like my car.
12:25
Fuck everybody else. What do you, what do you learn
12:29
there? Nothing.
12:32
If you perceived it maybe differently.
12:34
Damn, they don't, they don't really fuck with my car.
12:37
Why don't they fuck with my car? Let me think about this more.
12:41
Is what I like what I actually like, or am I yearning to be
12:45
that? And I think that this is that.
12:47
Because otherwise I need to, I need to figure this out or I'm
12:51
going to run around in circles and I'm going to buy everything
12:52
on eBay and end up with nothing. Or that's Or should I just drift
12:56
somewhere else or that which is probably what?
12:59
You do or just don't fucking drift or or just keep driving or
13:02
you just want to drift, Just drift.
13:03
Go drift. You want to make the car look
13:05
cool, go, go, go look cool. That's the best part about that.
13:07
Our sport right now is that it changes.
13:09
Every day. Did Jimmy tell them he was going
13:13
to do that that way or no? I believe that Knuckle Up has
13:18
been doing this. OK.
13:20
And it and it's not. I'm sure Jimmy did.
13:22
If he didn't tell them they were going to do that, OK, then
13:24
that's one thing. But if he was like, oh, send me
13:26
your cards, we're going to put them up and we're going to let
13:28
people vote, then he's like, brother, you signed up for this
13:31
like. OK, well, you know what I mean.
13:33
At the end of the day, can you really fucking do anything about
13:37
it? No, I'm just saying like you.
13:40
Signed up for this and don't be mad when.
13:42
That's the organizer's thing. OK, if you've got nothing to
13:45
hide, yeah, just skate by. I got out of those cars were
13:49
nice. Trip to the pond did the same
13:51
thing because Diego and them, the organizers that trip to the
13:56
pond are like, they look at KU and they're like, oh, you know
14:01
what that's worked that that looks like that works it
14:04
clearly. Works pretty good.
14:05
Community builds a good group of cars that everyone would love to
14:11
be around like everyone there would love to be around everyone
14:13
there and. We want to watch it and because
14:14
it is. Now, a communal choice.
14:16
You remember American Idol, you remember the text in shows.
14:19
Those were great. Oh yeah, you vote you.
14:21
Remember that you would vote on who would win.
14:24
You remember that when we used to be able to take like, peer
14:27
criticism. Yeah.
14:29
Like dude yo Mal, you remember every fucking Filipino person on
14:34
American Idol would would anytime family party, every
14:40
Filipino vote in for the fucking one Filipino person?
14:43
That's an example. Did it feel if you don't win?
14:45
That's an example. Every, every, no, the second
14:48
person, it was like, it was like, I don't remember, but it
14:52
was years ago. I was like 7.
14:55
But now that, that what I'm telling Malcolm is an example of
15:00
how those people will try. Now it's like you'll vote for me
15:05
to go yes, yes, Click yes on mine, Click yes on mine.
15:10
That's not the point. There was a display and and
15:13
you're there to ask for the critique of your peers.
15:18
And when you like try to sway it or you complain about it or you
15:22
moan about it, like it just takes that opportunity that they
15:26
gave you away. It's, I don't know, it's
15:30
something weird though about it. Like it's, I just can't get my
15:33
head around like you, like you can't.
15:35
Because your car looks like that and it looks good.
15:38
But like, let's say like, let's say we live in Texas, right?
15:42
And and you go, I feel like even I'm going to I'm going to
15:44
pretend it's you. All right, so you live in Texas.
15:47
OK, your car looks exactly the way it looks right now.
15:49
I'm not getting you go to a knuckle.
15:50
Your first knuckle event. You looking around, you're like,
15:53
OK, cool. I see all the cars that are
15:55
here. You know, whatever you go home,
15:57
they post this up. Yo, applications are ready.
16:00
Enter your car. If you if you want to drive a
16:02
knuckle up, what do you do current.
16:08
I don't know because I would have to refresh my shit a lot.
16:11
Even the fact that you just paused there and thought about
16:14
it, how does how do these other cars, not even they're like, Oh
16:18
yeah, I can make it? Well, some people would dig up a
16:21
old photo. Yeah, I mean, that's different,
16:23
but like, you know what I mean? Like you go, you saw everything.
16:26
You see the quality of the cars that are there.
16:29
I just another thing. Like even you whose car when
16:32
when it was refreshed would be fine.
16:34
But again, I'm I'm a like, I'm just one of the population.
16:38
I'm one of Gen. pop dude. Yeah, but when you're and when
16:40
your car's refreshed, it would be, it would be fun it.
16:43
Would be nicer. It would be fine.
16:44
It would, it would be fine. Yeah, until Jimmy goes like,
16:47
fucking nice wig, you pussy, and then like.
16:49
One little thing about that. But other than that.
16:52
Love you Jimmy. Like it would be fine.
16:53
No, but like at the end of the day who really give like.
16:59
I'm just saying you'd have a good chance I.
17:01
Guess. But so you'd be like, OK, cool,
17:03
I'll enter. I also it just comes with being
17:07
prideful with your shit. That just goes back to what we
17:09
were talking about before. Malcolm, what was the worst?
17:11
Don't, don't obviously don't give me names, but what was like
17:12
the worst car that you saw that that night?
17:15
The Genesis. OK so it was a genesis with a
17:19
helmet bash bar or whatever the fuck we call it at multi
17:23
colours. You know like what stock wheel?
17:27
I don't know it just it. Just looks terrible to.
17:30
Be honest, I don't even know if that was the worst one, but that
17:32
was. That was a good example.
17:34
That was pretty bad, but there there was, I think there was a
17:36
Miata that was like raised. Yeah, it just looked like a
17:39
stock hype Miata. And we're like, you went to
17:42
knuckle, you saw the cars and then you're like, yeah, I got
17:44
this shit. I that's the, that's the part
17:47
where I'm like, I'm not understanding it really.
17:49
Another thing is like now, now it's like hard because you're
17:53
like, oh, OK, somebody might have just the bare minimum to
17:56
drift and like we preach this thing there were.
17:58
Some of them like that. You preach this thing to keep it
18:00
simple as fuck and build an easy setup and they're saying that
18:04
they can drift it and it's bone fucking stock and you tell them
18:06
no. That's where.
18:08
Now don't Now what? Now what?
18:11
That's right, I don't really agree.
18:12
I'm pretty sure they do clinics there.
18:14
Go sign up for a clinic. True.
18:15
He's got clinic go drift the ample Josh.
18:18
Roads that you have in Texas. Josh would see a car like that
18:21
and be like, no. And I'd be like, yeah, I'd be
18:23
like, I mean, but it's he's going the right direction, you
18:27
know? So that's where I was like, I
18:28
don't know if I agree with that. Yeah, there's, there's, there's,
18:31
there's a part there, maybe that there's a little Gray area.
18:34
But again, none of us are perfect.
18:36
What are we saying right now? I don't even.
18:38
Think the whole conversation, I was like, I was like, at the end
18:40
of the day, this is all of our opinion.
18:42
Yeah, like. And like, who the fuck am I?
18:43
I'm just another naysayer. The only reason we're doing this
18:46
is because Knuckle Up is doing it so we're.
18:48
Where I'm literally somebody with a beat the fuck down car
18:51
and like it is pretty cool to me.
18:53
Yours doesn't even fucking move. So like, why?
18:55
Why are why, why is anybody giving a fuck what we're saying?
18:59
They did though. I.
18:59
Don't know. I don't know.
19:01
Go touch grass you fucking pussy.
19:04
Yeah, like I don't, I just wouldn't really care that much.
19:06
Go on the Internet more. But if I'm saying you need to
19:08
get hurt, if you posted your car on there, you signed up, you
19:11
signed up for it. You signed up for this?
19:13
I would fucking hate that dude. My car is so battered, right?
19:16
Now, yeah, like I would be like, I don't even know if I would do
19:18
that. I'd be like, yeah, OK, never
19:21
mind. I'm not going to go, but I I
19:23
like, I like the. You know what, it's OK, I don't
19:27
want to send a picture. But I like the way they're doing
19:30
it. I'm not going to say I don't
19:31
like it. Yeah, yeah.
19:33
If you're going to make a cool kids only event like that, then
19:36
you have to we. Ever.
19:37
Have we ever have the demo? It would be sick.
19:42
I've been talking to Chris a little bit.
19:45
Nap. I was with him the other day,
19:47
dude, we listen to all sorts of music I love.
19:49
Hanging out with Chris? You tell me that.
19:51
Love hanging out with Chris dude I I talked to him for.
19:53
Five in one night. 5 seconds. Yeah, dude, I feel so bad
19:56
because it's, they're always never like perfect when I paint
19:58
them in there and we do it so fast.
20:00
Yeah. But anyway, like, like hanging
20:02
out with Chris, I learned so much shit about just anything.
20:06
It could be anything. And he feeds me, you know, real
20:09
good. We had quesadillas and.
20:10
Stuff. Wait, didn't you guys have BBQ
20:11
or some shit? Bob's always, sometimes,
20:13
sometimes you we have BBQ, you know, Bob is chef and something
20:16
up. You eat it and it's probably
20:18
really good. I'm looking at the Q&A right
20:19
now. You got Ricardo in here.
20:20
Why am I never invited? OK, Ricardo, you're invited.
20:24
We have to do Ricardo Episode I. Talk to Ricardo every night.
20:27
He's always upset about it, but a sad face.
20:29
They got me playing fucking Minecraft, dude.
20:34
It's I don't, I don't. Even really know what the fuck
20:36
that game is. I didn't play it as a kid, so I
20:38
don't know what it is and everybody seems to know how to
20:40
play it, so I just wanted to build a house in it and that's
20:44
what I'm doing. I'm not going to find this
20:45
funny. I thought Minecraft was
20:46
minesweeper. Bro what?
20:49
Like for the longest. Time.
20:50
Why did you say Malcolm? Because it's just fucking
20:52
stupid. Like who would think that?
20:54
Hey Malcolm, do you play Minecraft?
20:55
I used to. Minecraft is a great game.
20:57
How about it? I was like Minecraft.
20:59
Oh, I had that on Windows 98. Dude, it's been really fun and
21:02
I'm mad because it's it was one of those situations where I'm
21:04
like, I'm not learning how to play this and now I'm having a
21:06
great time. Yeah, it's just a game where you
21:08
can do whatever you. Want dude it scratches my brain
21:11
so nice. Yeah, sit sick, right?
21:13
It's a relaxing game to. Me dude, sign up and I'll show
21:15
you my house or whatever. Limitless Auto Fab is a
21:17
fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
21:20
They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
21:23
models in the drifting community.
21:24
Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
21:27
Fabricated from 1 1/2 inch mild steel tube, these bars are
21:30
designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
21:33
avoid or minimize damage to your vehicle and must have for drift
21:36
cars. Their bars also come with
21:38
jacking points and optional license plate brackets, so
21:40
everything you need is right there from the start.
21:42
Limitless Auto also sells catch cans for a handful of specific
21:46
models. These cans are built in house
21:48
and chassis specific. We have used these cans in the
21:50
shop with great results. The guys over at Limitless are
21:53
on social media so make sure to check out their Instagram and
21:55
give them a follow. They post photos of all the
21:58
drift cars using their products from Front St.
21:59
Drift Club to Animal Style. If you are in the market for a
22:02
bash bar or catch can, make sure to check out their full product
22:05
line up on our website factionmotorsports.com.
22:08
This podcast is sponsored by Ramsted MFG.
22:11
They sell an easy to use wheel fitment tool that is a massive
22:14
game changer for any shop or enthusiast looking for an easy
22:17
way to check their wheel fitment.
22:18
With their user friendly tool you can check diameter with an
22:21
offset before you buy your wheels.
22:23
Gone are the days of ordering wheels and hoping that your math
22:26
was correct. Just throw their tool on your
22:28
wheel hub and dial in your specs to see if your dream wheel
22:30
clears your coilover and fenders before committing to the
22:33
purchase. Not only can you check wheel
22:35
fill in with their tool, you can use it to check suspension
22:37
clearance as well. This is really great for
22:40
Drifters who are always changing wheel lock and adding angle to
22:42
their setups. Now you can see if those new
22:44
suspension arms or tie rods will clear your wheels at full lock
22:48
before going out and destroying your new wheels.
22:50
Another feature is that you can use two of these tools together
22:53
to measure track with from the wheel center line.
22:56
About 20% of Ram Set's customers purchase 2 tools at once so they
23:00
can measure track with for various wheel and suspension
23:02
setups. I recommend this product to the
23:04
everyday enthusiast and most importantly shop owners that
23:07
need a way to size wheels for customers so that they know they
23:10
are getting the right specs before ordering a brand new set
23:12
of wheels. To get more info, head on over
23:14
to ramsteadmfg.com and if you'd like to purchase their Wheel
23:17
Fitment Tool Pro, we are now carrying them in store at
23:20
Faction Motorsports and Faction motorsports.com.
23:23
Rizzo under score 23 Is Frankie going to Warp Tour this year?
23:27
If he should, he should go to Long Beach and come hang out.
23:30
I'm definitely going to fucking Warp Tour.
23:31
You should go to Warp Tour in DC too with us.
23:34
US meaning whoever. When is that?
23:36
I don't know. I didn't look.
23:38
Dude, I got a. Summer.
23:40
It's summer. Yeah, me.
23:41
Need a motorcycle? You want to ride there?
23:43
OK. Yeah, I want to ride there.
23:44
Where is it DC? All right, Malcolm, is that a?
23:46
4 hour ride. I need something that'll ride 4
23:48
hours. Yeah, we got a lot of Dinos on
23:51
on Facebook Marketplace though. Only thing that'll ride 4 hours
23:53
right now is my left and right foot.
23:54
That is what I got. But yeah, I wish I could go to
23:58
Long Beach. That would be cool.
23:59
Dude, that'd be sick if you went out there and met a couple
24:01
people. Yeah, I want I'm, I think I'm
24:03
going to go to Florida again no matter what and I I want to go
24:06
to DC because it's close enough. So it's looking good.
24:09
Lineups looking good. Oh my God.
24:13
Top three cars S chassis excluded.
24:17
Oh. That's a pretty big.
24:20
I could do that pretty quick. I know you can.
24:22
So let's here let's start with you.
24:25
Malcolm, can you go outside and see if anyone's out there?
24:28
Just a drift car. No, it's not drift cars.
24:31
Just three cars, period. Top three cars for me.
24:36
This is Carl talking, in case you can't distinguish between me
24:39
and Frankie yet. One of them is a 9/11 GT3 Rs.
24:45
That's the best thing ever made. And if Malcolm comes back, I'm
24:49
going to Google it and you're going to need to.
24:50
Which year or like what? Any of them I will take
24:53
literally any of. Them you take a 99, what was it
24:57
6? GT3, Yeah, as long as you got
25:00
the GT3 badge and that little wing on the back.
25:02
I don't like the 996. I don't give a shit, it's AGT 3
25:04
and I got a Porsche. No one.
25:06
No. OK, I got I got a Porsche and
25:09
it's AGT 3, so that's one number 2 is a 2004 Toyota.
25:14
Now I'm just kidding. Do nuts. #2 because it's just
25:22
cars of all time. What would I own?
25:28
I would just get three 9/11 GT3R S s I think. 3 So one of every.
25:35
One of each color, one for each season or something.
25:37
I'm. Never going to be able to answer
25:38
this, Malcolm. What about you?
25:38
Top three cars. Yeah, I got one.
25:41
I got 1. And what?
25:43
What? What do you give us?
25:44
At least one. At least one I would say like
25:47
AF40 Ferrari or something. God damn.
25:51
Rich. Just based on, you know, looks
25:53
and it's. That is a cool car.
25:56
Yeah, it's cool. I think I would do one of them
26:02
is definitely a FD RX7. Yeah, that's a good one.
26:08
That's a good. One I'll go with FDRX 7R34 GTR
26:11
No and the RX7 is going to be left hand drive.
26:13
The 9/11 yes for me still the FD is 1 and I need one more less
26:19
sensible. One something not for, I don't
26:23
know, like a truck or something. No, I want like something dude.
26:26
I've been wanting something old as fuck.
26:30
Model T. Maybe a little too old.
26:33
No, that's as old as hell. That's almost as old as you.
26:36
That's crazy. I would want like, ah, dude,
26:42
remember, do you remember Stevie?
26:44
Stevie would talk to me about like Impalas and I would, I
26:47
would want an older Impala like that, like a 60s one, like a 64.
26:50
I want like a 60s Cadillac because.
26:52
They're pretty small and low still and I that shit would be
26:55
on wires so fucking quickly. It's a long ass Cadillac with
26:58
the four doors. Fleetwood.
27:00
Something like that. It's way too a.
27:02
Dorado, I don't. Know I never seen one online
27:05
the. Other Cadillacs?
27:06
What was that happening about? Yeah, I don't know shit about
27:08
any of those things, but Long. Something old like that is sick
27:11
dude. What about a a El Dorado?
27:15
Is that a thing? Goodness gracious.
27:17
Look at 60s or is it 60s? Oh yeah, pink one, right?
27:22
There. Oh no, I don't like that thing.
27:24
Maybe. Oh dude that red one, See
27:27
something like that where that lines look like that?
27:29
Oh, you like a 50s car? Yeah, dude, dude, just something
27:31
like that. But dumped.
27:33
Yeah, yeah. I don't care if the bumpers are
27:35
flat at the bottom. Damn, I don't know what it was I
27:38
saw the other day but it was cool.
27:39
That would be sick. Not the El Dorado.
27:41
That thing looks fucking weird. I don't like that shit, that
27:43
pointy shit. That's like, that's like Elvis's
27:45
car. I'm good on that.
27:46
Yeah. All right, Yeah.
27:48
Something so something it would be like a variety pack.
27:50
The problem is like 3. I can't do you give me 9.
27:54
Yeah, I could do that because then I get like a bunch of
27:56
different shaped cars. Like there's like there's SU VS
28:00
I like, there's cars I like there's, there's, there's like
28:03
everyday cars are like. M1 Sherman tank.
28:06
For one of them, yeah. OK.
28:09
OK, OK, OK. Armored G wagon.
28:12
See. That's another use case.
28:13
I guess a tank is in a car. For when we make it big do.
28:17
You go with a warthog. Oh, you mean a Tesla truck?
28:20
Because that's what they look like to me.
28:21
That shit is useless as a Halo. Warthog I know, but that every
28:24
time I see a Tesla truck I'm like, that's a warthog.
28:26
Dude, I go to Vermont. Not a single wanted sight.
28:29
Thank God. Not a single fucking one.
28:31
Thank God America is still America in some places.
28:34
Fuck the moment there is terrain anywhere you would think.
28:38
Yeah, and when? When it's cold.
28:39
You got like intelligent everything in there, just
28:41
fucking, you know? How is everyone today?
28:47
And if you were on death row, what would be your last meal?
28:51
I'm OK today. How are you, Carl?
28:53
I'm good, all my days are all right.
28:55
That's pretty awesome to hear, Malcolm.
28:58
Today. Yeah, today I'm good.
29:00
All right, now what would your last meal be?
29:03
Because you're dying tomorrow. Last meal shit.
29:08
Damn, I'm water, my mouth is watering.
29:10
Thinking about he's going to like a Philly cheese steak.
29:12
I was going. To say a cheese steak?
29:14
Yep, like a nice ass cheese. Steak.
29:16
Are you serious? A. 100%.
29:18
No, it doesn't like. It's not because I'm questioning
29:20
it. I don't care.
29:21
It's his last fucking meal. It's dying tomorrow.
29:23
At least he's a cheap date. A nice cheese steak.
29:27
With probably want like provolone cheese on.
29:29
That a beer. A beer on the side.
29:31
And a Budweiser. Yeah, if I was dying today or
29:37
tomorrow, a fucking 32 ounce of rib eye steak, really medium
29:45
rare with a piss load of butter all over it.
29:48
And I want them to fucking cook the fat.
29:50
Like a lot at. Least that's a little bit more
29:53
sensible. And like a pound of mashed
29:55
potatoes. Like a pound of mashed potatoes.
29:57
Potatoes. I want whatever that BBQ spot
30:00
was in Texas that we were supposed to go to and we never
30:02
did. I'll take that you.
30:04
Didn't even try. What was it called?
30:05
That's going to be good, bro. I don't know, but there's
30:08
multiple people. Yeah, something like that.
30:10
It's going to be BBQ Pinkerton. Fingerton, just a.
30:15
Nice brisket, you know. The sandwich you fucked up by
30:20
not getting the sandwich where we were because.
30:22
No, but the ribs were good. My sandwich dissolved
30:26
immediately. That's like I inhaled that shit.
30:29
I needed to smoke that cigarette after.
30:32
Oh, and I want a fruit smoothie for dessert.
30:35
What? Yeah, and a Key Lime Pie.
30:40
OK, fat as hell bro. It's my last meal.
30:43
They said you're going to die tomorrow now.
30:44
Bro, he's not even going to finish the sandwich so I don't

31:44
working with Wrecked Magazine. Wrecked has been capturing the
31:47
best moments in Drifting since the mid 2000s.
31:50
After a long hiatus, they have recently been brought back from
31:52
the dead with the best people in the industry leading the charge.
31:55
The first couple issues have been nothing but amazing and
31:58
after speaking with these guys I can tell you it's only going to
32:01
get better. Now I won't lie, a print
32:02
magazine being brought back to life in 2026 is pretty risky
32:06
move. It's a dying industry with video
32:09
content and social media flooding the market.
32:11
But nothing beats to the nostalgic feeling of print.
32:13
It's always been the best way to get a glimpse into the
32:15
automotive scene that you're interested in.
32:17
Automotive magazines were the reason some of us even got into
32:20
cars. To this day I still have all my
32:22
magazines from high school and it's so cool to be able to go
32:24
back to see how the culture was during that specific time.
32:28
And to have AUS based magazine that's just focused on drifting
32:31
is unreal. They have tons of information in
32:33
the first two issues that I've been reading through.
32:35
Everything from event coverage, specific vehicle articles,
32:38
driver profiles, shop tours, much more.
32:41
Even the ads are cool. For more info or if you are
32:44
looking to subscribe, head on over to wreckmagazine.com.
32:47
They got a bunch of other cool stuff on there as well.
32:50
We are in the middle of trying to get some of these to sell
32:52
here at the shop so hopefully in the next few months we have them
32:54
here to at least check out or if you want to purchase them.
32:59
Not a question, but tell us more alien stories.
33:02
We actually. I don't have anything going on
33:04
right now. I haven't seen anything crazy.
33:05
Yeah, I don't know any. I don't know any any alien
33:09
stories right now. Well, didn't they ask Trump to
33:11
release the alien file? I'll release it in a week.
33:15
What's? Not happening.
33:16
Give it a minute. Oh, because they're still making
33:19
it. I don't know, he's probably just
33:20
trying to get off the Epstein list.
33:21
I can't believe anything nowadays bro, because you have
33:24
people like there's a. Bunch of pedophiles running the
33:26
country. You just have a bunch of people
33:27
saying like, Oh well, you think that they can't make the files.
33:31
And I was, I'm just like, I don't even give a shit anymore.
33:33
My primer's on delay and I just need my sandpaper.
33:36
Like get the fuck out of my face.
33:39
Like I'm just trying to live. Alien stories or ghost stories,
33:43
he said. Or ghost lately.
33:45
Are you more scared of aliens or ghosts?
33:48
I think that in a sense those two are correlated.
33:53
Like I might think that it's a ghost or could be a something
33:57
else there. Whatever it is, I do feel weird.
34:00
Let me give you a situation. OK?
34:04
Fucking. You're at home, sitting on the
34:05
couch. Well, I wasn't expecting anyone.
34:09
It's pretty late. All right, let me go.
34:11
Open the door. Gun.
34:12
Open the door. No one's there.
34:16
I'm closing it and I'm going to bed.
34:18
Now you're in bed and you're here.
34:25
I'm going to bed. Scratch and you're like, what
34:27
was that? I'm going to bed.
34:32
Couple scratches at your door. You open the door, no one's
34:34
there. Yeah, I'm going to bed and now
34:36
I'm probably going to smoke enough weed to literally blow my
34:38
brains out, OK? If I still can't see it, OK.
34:41
Next night, now you start to hear things like Carl come here
34:50
and you're like, what the fuck was that?
34:53
And you could have swore someone just said something, but you, no
34:57
one's there. I would literally I.
34:58
Don't hear it again. I would literally keep smoking
35:00
more weed until like it goes away.
35:02
All right, that's one scenario. Inebriate myself.
35:05
Next scenario, you open the door, there's a fucking alien
35:10
standing there. He's taller than you.
35:11
He's like, he's as tall as a doorway, but he's skinny as
35:14
fuck. What color?
35:15
Greenish, greenish, beige like, palish like, wet like.
35:20
Cum. He's wet.
35:21
What? Yeah.
35:23
What? Why is your cum green?
35:27
I don't know where that came from, but like.
35:30
Waiters, is it? But so he's like Green, right?
35:35
And he starts making noises and he starts to get coming over,
35:37
like he's going to hug you or something, like his arms are out
35:39
a little bit. OK.
35:41
First of all, what are you doing in that situation?
35:45
Closing the door really quick. And then really and grabs the
35:48
door. Contemplating what the.
35:49
He's like, yo-yo, just help yo. I no.
35:51
No, he's not talking. He's not.
35:52
Talking turn off the Milky Way. Somebody help me please.
35:55
Me ain't talking. No better idea.
35:57
You open the door, he's there, green, nasty blue, whatever,
36:00
wet. And all of a sudden you go.
36:03
What the? And you go to close the door and
36:04
then you're stuck and you're paralyzed and you're just
36:07
looking at him and he's talking to you through your brain and
36:11
he's telling you you can't drift AIS 300 anymore.
36:16
He's telling you some crazy thing and you're like what the
36:17
fuck? Which scenario would you rather
36:20
be in? I would rather think that
36:26
somebody is still just watching me and I'm just like doing the
36:29
wrong thing. So the ghost one.
36:30
You'd rather be in the ghost one?
36:32
I just don't think that I would just be sitting there trying to
36:36
logic my way out of it and be like, I must be dreaming right
36:40
now. Like I got to be asleep.
36:42
I should not have eaten all that garlic before before bed like.
36:46
Yeah, I mean. Even even when I run into scary
36:49
things where I'm scared, I know I'm scared.
36:52
I'm a bitch in the dark. I don't give a fuck.
36:55
You could pop me into the city, any fucking alley, but you put
36:58
me in anywhere that's dark. It's just me and then my mind
37:03
starts running and and I always feel like somebody's just
37:06
looking at me. So I'm always just like, aware.
37:09
In the dark, you feel that way. Anytime I'm in the dark.
37:11
Like someone's looking at you. Yeah.
37:12
Like, like you're being cheated. Like something's coming after
37:15
you. Yeah, OK.
37:16
So I'll I'll always just be chilling at home and like I'm
37:19
home alone like a pretty decent amount.
37:22
If anybody wants to kidnap me like don't do that if I'm home
37:28
alone like a decent amount and that will happen, my house makes
37:33
some crazy ass. Car noises.
37:34
You don't hear scratching on the walls, do you?
37:36
Yeah, all the time. Oh hell no.
37:38
Dude. But then here's a logic.
37:41
I hear a bang every so often in my house.
37:43
OK, it's the air ducting going like this and expanding and
37:47
contracting. Explanation in one.
37:49
I hear a scratch on my window every other fucking night.
37:52
Explanation 2. It's literally the bushes
37:55
outside blowing the wind around. Explanation 3 the house creaks
37:58
when it's windy. Boom.
38:00
Explanation 4 with the lights will flicker.
38:02
Fucking house is old as fuck like you.
38:04
Have demons talking to you in your fucking sleep, Joe swears.
38:09
There, there it is. No, because no, Joe swears.
38:14
Because I'm going to tell you the basement.
38:17
Something's wrong with that basement.
38:18
No one, we don't aside from the party, we do.
38:22
No one uses the basement. And so one time Joe like came
38:30
home. I didn't do the laundry or
38:32
anything. She came home, she didn't do the
38:34
laundry or anything. Daryl didn't.
38:36
And either the machine was running or it like opened or it
38:40
was open and it made the sound, the chime that it was now open.
38:45
And then Joe was like, Joe at this point is like, all right
38:49
with it. She's like, oh, all right,
38:52
girly, you know, do your thing. So she just thinks there's a
38:56
demon there, not a demon. I don't know.
38:59
I'm not entirely too sure. Not.
39:00
A demon, it would be a lot more aggressive, probably.
39:02
I think so, but yeah, OK, I don't care.
39:05
I don't really. So you don't have an opinion to
39:07
you ghosts and aliens are. If it comes out, if it comes
39:12
out, I'll be able to think in my brain like, yeah, that was
39:14
definitely OK. Yeah, equal threats, I guess.
39:18
If you call it a threat, I don't know.
39:19
I'd be friends with them first. I don't want an alien to ever be
39:23
near me, ever. What's it going to do to you?
39:26
I don't know. I don't want to know.
39:28
I don't want. You'll never know until you
39:29
fucking find out. Don't want to no a ghost, I
39:33
don't really have that much of a problem with them, it might get
39:37
annoying. Yeah, but now the ghosts will
39:39
fuck with you for the rest of your life.
39:41
If it yeah, if we're talking rest of your life situations,
39:43
it's going to change everything because.
39:45
What about a demon? That's totally different.
39:48
That's a different story. I don't like any of that shit.
39:52
Again, I'm just trying to live shit my primer out faster.
39:55
Like, I don't know, Malcolm, what about you?
39:56
Aliens or ghosts? What would you rather be
39:58
involved with? You're going to say aliens?
40:02
No. No.
40:03
I the way you described it, I think I'd rather have a
40:08
paranormal experience rather than a alien.
40:12
Yeah, dude, I don't know. Aliens bug me out.
40:13
But we don't have any really experience.
40:15
We don't have experience with them.
40:16
Yet because Alien is like a real life monster.
40:18
Exactly. Yeah, And you don't know what
40:20
it's going to do, but all the stories I hear, they talk to you
40:23
without fucking moving their mouths.
40:26
Yeah, a ghost is like, OK, that was a human at one point.
40:28
Like like aliens violate you. I just don't think they would do
40:32
anything to me like. Even communicating with you
40:35
though is like on another level well.
40:37
They're going to have to communicate with me.
40:38
How else are they going to talk? How else are they going to get
40:40
me to do anything? They're going to talk through
40:41
your brain. Well then they're yeah, that's
40:43
cool. I guess that's how they're going
40:45
to communicate with. Me hurry in my fucking head.
40:47
Yeah, go like this. You got a little, I don't know
40:49
what the fuck it landed on it. But like, Andrew, the the thing
40:52
for me with the whole aliens versus ghost thing is like, is
40:58
it really going to matter at the end of the day?
41:01
All I'm concerned with is how paranoid I'm going to be when it
41:06
happens because I'm going to just be sitting there thinking
41:08
like, why me, dude? Like, God damn it.
41:13
Yeah, like everybody better be experiencing this.
41:16
I've had, I've had ghost experience, but no aliens yet.
41:19
And I pray and I never do. Yeah, we'll have more ghost
41:23
stories on another day when we can talk more, right?
41:29
You heard the You heard the Kaboom song, the bazooka song.
41:33
Grandma got hit with a bazooka or some shit.
41:36
Just 'cause I hear Diego sing it all the.
41:39
Time. So there is this kid in Josh's
41:43
raffle that bought 10 tickets. Oh, grand.
41:46
Yeah, I counted. And I was like, Lewis, I'm going
41:48
to pray for that guy if he loses.
41:50
So I watched the raffle and he lost.
41:52
And Josh goes, Louis Capone got hit with a bazooka kaboom.
41:57
I was like damn dude. I don't know why, but I was
42:02
really hopeful to get it and I was almost ready to start
42:05
packing up the truck so I could start driving over to Josh's.
42:09
And then and then I remembered I don't win anything in my entire
42:12
life. I don't ever win.
42:13
I don't ever win. Yeah, I am kind of mad none of
42:15
our friends won't cause a lot of our friends were in there.
42:18
I know, yeah, Big Nick was on top of my name and I was like,
42:23
if anybody in his little two person vicinity between me and
42:27
Nick get it, I'll be hyped. Yeah.
42:29
Jesse was in there. None, Brendan.
42:32
Brendan was in there. Bro Diego was in there like.
42:37
And then fucking random people. I could have just fucking easily
42:41
used that car and like just drove it.
42:45
SRS get like 20 plus miles per gallon.
42:48
This is a good question. Erectile dysfunction or autism?
42:51
Autism. Autism.
42:53
I'll be autistic guy that'll fuck.
42:55
That's what, If Malcolm is autistic, then I'll take autism.
43:00
We think he's autistic, so. I've worked pretty high on that
43:03
test got. To be fucking.
43:06
Yeah, I mean, he's pretty squared away and he's smart so
43:10
all. Right.
43:11
Fuck it, hey fuck Mary kill snap on Maco or Mac?
43:15
Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Maco or Mac, and
43:19
you probably don't either. I don't give a shit.
43:21
So whatever gets this is not the right crew for this question.
43:23
Whatever gets me the job done. Yeah, I know of a customer with
43:30
the legal name Dusty Gooch. I can acquire proof if needed.
43:33
Yeah, we're going to. That's.
43:35
Crazy. That's awesome.
43:37
Dusty Gooch. Give me the credit card number.
43:40
That's Dusty's about to have a fresh new Sequoia on their
43:42
credit line. How can you guys, oh, here we
43:45
go. I think this was because of that
43:48
question the other day Malcolm on the hot lap said how can you
43:51
guys like the 350Z and hate the 370Z so much?
43:55
Some strong opinions, I don't think I hate the 370Z that much
44:01
but I do think Jesus said some crazy shit.
44:04
What do you say he called it? Something I don't know.
44:07
The 370 is a fat fucking 3. D What would you pick, a 370 or
44:10
a 350? 350 yeah, HR yeah, because it's
44:13
a 370. Yeah, that's what we that's what
44:15
we said. And I guess this guy has a 370
44:17
or something. What's the name?
44:19
Zelda 3Z34. So yeah, look man, Z30 fours are
44:26
the nicer car. They're literally a great car.
44:29
It's amazing car. It just sucks that it's so fat
44:31
looking. Yeah, it's big.
44:32
It's got a big ass. You just puffed it up and like
44:36
if you look at the back of it, it's just really tall and like
44:40
chunky and you can't. The windows are too fucking
44:43
small and the headlights look so fucking big.
44:45
Here's another thing, I've never seen a cool OEM variant of that
44:50
car. Can you look that up, Malcolm?
44:51
Like can you look at a Nismo 370 ZI don't think that really looks
44:54
any different than the normal 1. Here's another person who cares
44:57
too much that looks great. That's it.
45:01
Don't listen. They started adding that red
45:03
shit to the bottom. I was out.
45:04
What are you talking about? That's what Are you like Nismo
45:07
MO? No.
45:09
That looks cool. That looks like a 2 door sentra,
45:11
is that what you're going for? Needs a wing.
45:14
Hold that keep keep that one photo up.
45:16
Malcolm 20161 and then go pull up a a Sentra SER Thank you.
45:26
You're going to ruin this guy's day.
45:28
Scroll a little bit more, I'm looking for like the one.
45:31
That old one. Or a new one.
45:33
Oh wait, wouldn't it be like a Nismo one now?
45:35
It's not the SER anymore. It's it would be a Nismo.
45:38
What year ish? The newer one where the turbo is
45:40
like a part of the man. I remember that car.
45:43
Oh, would you look at that? Yeah.
45:47
So to be honest with you, some people would say 2000 and three
45:52
2003 was the year when Nissan started falling down.
45:55
But dude I don't know. The Z wasn't come on but the 370
45:59
was pretty bad. Like, it's a nice car.
46:02
It's an amazing car. Car and Driver and Racetrack
46:04
Magazine gave it a fucking amazing score.
46:06
Probably. Yeah, like, that looks awesome.
46:09
Don't listen to what the fuck we have to say even though I think
46:12
it looks fast. Just find a wing for it, go down
46:13
to that one right below you on the right.
46:16
No sorry. Over left, left, left, left.
46:18
Yep. That looks cool as fuck.
46:21
Like. I don't know what wing that is,
46:22
but maybe. That looks awesome and maybe
46:24
maybe I sent him a wing. You know what is sick on a
46:26
370Z370Z? Them wheels are.
46:29
Yeah. They're cool.
46:31
And all of them come with big breaks, I think.
46:35
That one, that one looks cool. I'm again just the only reason I
46:38
don't like it is because it's so puffy.
46:40
Click that one down there, the silver one on the right.
46:42
Yeah, that looks like a. What is that kit?
46:45
Is that AC? Is that a?
46:46
Nismo. That's a Nismo kit, and the only
46:48
reason why you like it is because it looks like a 350 from
46:50
right here. You're right.
46:51
Look up 2010 Nismo 370 ZI want to make sure that that no yeah.
46:58
That's literally. Yeah, I guess it is.
47:01
I don't know. There's a couple of different
47:02
variations of this car. It is but if.
47:04
That if that is a car that existed from the factory, that's
47:08
kind of cool and the wing is kind of cool.
47:09
So that looks great. I guess again, it's just chunky.
47:13
It's just. Bigger.
47:13
Yeah, it's just bigger. Yeah, those vents are cool.
47:16
I like small cars. I'm a small person.
47:20
I don't. Think general is big, so it's
47:22
kind of like. Whatever.
47:23
I don't think that it's superior, like supremely ugly.
47:27
It's just I don't like it as much as a three. 50 that dude
47:30
that honestly that's the that's the coolest 370Z from the
47:32
factory that I've seen so far. They should have.
47:35
They should have stopped there instead of throwing red shit all
47:38
over it. I don't know.
47:39
But yeah, I think. I think they all look like.
47:41
AZ. And guess what?
47:42
I don't own AZ AZ. Opinions on big camber stance
47:53
cars or just crazy static builds in general?
47:58
My opinion is always the same I think.
47:59
I think like BIG4 door cars are cool when they're like low and
48:04
stuff like that. But like a performance oriented
48:06
car, like let's say a 370Z, if it's slammed and has camber and
48:09
it's a stance car, I'm not really into that because I'm
48:11
like. You can actually do things
48:13
that's like, not our, that's not our like Forte.
48:17
Yeah. I think it takes a lot of work
48:20
in a different type of mentality, in a different kind
48:22
of like way you go about modifying your car and what you
48:25
see. Like when you look at a car,
48:28
your mentality is probably totally different than what we
48:31
would think about doing in the car.
48:32
Yeah, but like a a older American car that stands, that's
48:35
kind of cool. I think that that's cool.
48:37
What do I know about it? Nothing.
48:39
Yeah, I really don't. But cool, I fuck with it.
48:42
Malcolm, you like stance cars? They were cool at one point.
48:51
Oh, so you've matured? Well, back then it was like, oh,
48:58
I want one of those. Like I would love to drive one
49:00
of those one day. Because you're a Volkswagen
49:02
head. Yeah, you're a Volkswagen head.
49:05
Any Volkswagen head love? Dude still to this day I see
49:08
slam Volkswagens on air and I'm like damn that shit is sick.
49:12
I would. I would buy that.
49:13
What? 100% fired.
49:16
Damn. Frankie that we're going to have
49:18
to talk over like. There's a mark blue blue mark 4
49:20
Jetta down the road on air. That shit looks sick.
49:23
He also has like a thing is there's a twenty 20th
49:27
anniversary around here somewhere.
49:28
That shit is the yellow sick, the yellow 1.
49:30
I don't, I don't know. I like the yellow 20th with like
49:33
the Aritzia no Arista wheels or whatever, the really spooky
49:41
Volkswagen wheel. Yeah, I mean, I only like that
49:44
generation of Volkswagen. They're sick.
49:49
Unfortunately, we gotta cut this one short.
49:51
You gotta go to the one shoot yourself.
49:53
We're going to see Scream 7. Right, OK.
49:55
All right. Well, thank you guys so much for
49:58
listening. It means a Yeah, it does, even
50:01
though that these ones are short and we got to cut them.
50:02
Yo, was anybody in the live chat?
50:03
I see that live chat going crazy.
50:04
Let's address. Let's address some of those.
50:06
Is it? Ricardo.
50:07
No. Well here read some of these.
50:09
Oh wait, we got a bunch of new new Patreon members, dude.
50:11
Yeah, read this guy. Calling out a situation for what
50:14
it is is very Oh my gosh, this is so nice man.
50:17
God damn it. David B.
50:20
If somebody wants to compete and knuckle up, they they just, they
50:24
have to stop their car and driving.
50:25
They need to look at the last couple years of competitions and
50:28
that should be their minimum bar to compete and knuckle up.
50:30
So he's saying basically calling out, calling cars out like we
50:32
did is refreshing, I guess. So.
50:35
Thank you. Yeah, we're just being honest.
50:37
I mean, we weren't trying. To again bleeding, but again,
50:41
any we don't fucking if if something bothers you that we
50:45
just said, just go fucking about your day like what we say
50:49
doesn't matter. Steve, Stevie, What's Frankie's
50:51
World War? 20 There's always Stevie right
50:53
there I was. Going to tell you it's just in
50:54
hilarious. Favorite World War 2 era vehicle
50:57
road or military use vehicle. I immediately think plain.
51:02
So if we're thinking plain. You're such a psycho.
51:10
What? Which one?
51:11
Probably a Corsair. I I think a Corsair or what the.
51:14
Hell is a Corsair. Oh, you got to look that up.
51:16
F4U. Corsair, Malcolm.
51:18
What is it called? F4U Corsair.
51:21
Then we'll end it there because these guys got to go.
51:23
That's definitely one of them. If not, it's AP 40 Mustang, or I
51:25
mean AP 41. What is that, P41?
51:28
No, not AP 51. This shit is sick.
51:31
This shit is sick. Yeah, it was dope.
51:33
That was like, it's a 2 so. They had to.
51:35
You know why the wings are angled like that?
51:37
Because the no because the prop is so big that they needed to
51:41
extend the wing so that the landing gear would be locked
51:43
closer to the ground. So that the probably so it
51:46
wouldn't fucking hit the ground when you land.
51:48
That's the only reason. And those wings rotate up so
51:50
they can be on aircraft carriers closer to each other.
51:55
Pretty cool. That is pretty sick.
51:56
That was like they did not let me fly one of those at the
52:00
fucking instructor flight. It's got a radio engine, so you
52:04
know what a radio engine is? The big fucking circle air
52:07
cooled. Yeah, don't.
52:08
Yeah, actually. This one might be water cooled
52:09
but most of them are air cooled. Go to P40.
52:12
Yeah, fuck, going to the movie now I guess.
52:14
You're right, fucking we're talking about some idiots.
52:16
There we go. Yeah, this is the plane that I
52:19
was imagining when you were naming off.
52:20
So this is like The Who away? This is like AV12 fucking Rolls
52:25
Royce engine type shit in this. This some shit Tom Cruise
52:29
probably got. So imagine you flew.
52:31
Imagine there was a fucking G12. Like look where the pilot is.
52:35
Yeah. Honestly dude, I swear to God I
52:38
think Tom Cruise actually does own money.
52:39
He owns. AP51 Mustang, look that up
52:41
Malcolm. And then this is like the the
52:47
most popular. World War 2, that.
52:48
That one's hard. Of course, Tom's got one of
52:50
those. Yeah.
52:52
But probably that shiny one. There's a polished one out I.
52:54
Forget how much power they make. I think like 2000 horsepower or
52:56
some shit like that. Some crazy high.
52:58
It's a lot, dude, Yeah, for for a 1940 technology and you just
53:02
have that much power some. Airplanes be powered by UZ that
53:07
I swear. Shut the fuck up, I.
53:09
Swear to God I wish I was lying. Really.
53:11
It's the only engine that's rated for marine aviation and
53:15
Rd. That's crazy.
53:16
Come on. All right, Well, thank you guys
53:18
so much for listening. It's been a, I thought about
53:20
this the other day. It's been a couple of years of
53:22
endless support from you guys and we don't even really know
53:25
because like we're really just living our normal lives and
53:27
talking about what we do so. And thank you to the Patreon new
53:30
subscribers. We promise we'll be more active
53:32
with the chat next time. Because I forgot about it but.
53:34
While I was just looking over there, I was trying to read it
53:36
but I have. Bad eyes.
53:36
So I know there's a lot of people that join that, so thank
53:38
you guys. Yeah, and every Sunday I've been
53:41
trying to get on the fashion discord.
53:42
We all hang out in game or whatever and we can chat and
53:44
bullshit. So if you want an endless
53:45
podcast, go join that every Sunday and I'll try to be there.
53:49
Not try, I'll be there. Goodnight.
53:51
See ya. Of course Tom is not.
54:31
All right, well that was a crazy episode Malcolm is on a little
54:36
vacation right now he's out snowboarding, so Eddie is here
54:39
with me. We're going to do the outro
54:40
together. Eddie has no idea what we talked
54:42
about this episode, so we're going to pretty much bypass that
54:44
section guys. We we have a raffle going on on
54:48
our website right now. Make sure to check that out.
54:51
Every $5 spent is an entry to win a pair of front and rear
54:55
limitless auto bash bars. So pretty pretty awesome value.
55:00
You can literally buy anything. You could buy a couple stickers
55:04
in your enter to win. So and it's any bash bar you're
55:08
choosing that they that they produce.
55:10
And I also heard that there are a couple new designs coming out
55:13
for different vehicles. So even if you don't think they
55:15
make something for your car, they might be soon.
55:17
So just keep that in mind. We do have an origin container
55:24
on the way here. So but we but other than that,
55:27
we have a lot of stuff in stock right now from Origin Labo.
55:30
So Eddie, do you have a list of? I do.
55:34
Yeah, maybe we could check that list out because we just posted
55:37
that yesterday and I went back there.
55:41
I was counting. I was like, there's only a
55:43
handful of body kits left so. So for A180SX we have a drift
55:48
line kit, for S14 we have a Zenki Stylish line kit, a Zenki
55:55
Streamline kit, a Zinke drift line kit, and a Cokie drift line
56:00
kit. Wow.
56:00
There's a lot of S14 body kits. Yeah, for the JZX 100 Chaser, we
56:05
have a streamline kit and some drift line kits.
56:10
OK. For the mark 2 we have racing
56:13
line kit and drift line kit. ZN 6 we have a drift line V2
56:19
kit. Yeah, the two of them, right?
56:21
Yes. Yeah, so, yeah, so we still got
56:24
a handful of body kits left. If you're trying to get your car
56:26
done before the season starts. And if you can't afford the
56:29
parts you need, don't worry, we got a firm on the website so
56:31
they can finance the stuff you need now and you can pay later.
56:36
Shop is starting to pick up. So you guys have any work that
56:39
you want to bring in here? I would suggest getting in our
56:42
emails now and setting up an appointment because I know we
56:45
got some engine swap we have to do soon.
56:48
We are currently rebuilding an SR20.
56:52
There's a bunch of Sr. 20s in the shop, but yeah, there's a
56:55
there's a bunch of stuff going on right now and it's only going
56:56
to get worse as the months continue.
56:59
So if you want to jump in now, now would be the time before you
57:04
wait until next fall to get something serious done.
57:07
How's the YouTube going? Hey, it's.
57:09
Going great. Oh yeah.
57:10
Yeah, if you guys want to ever see what's going on in the shop,
57:14
we do weekly a weekly update video called the Hot Labs we're
57:18
about to reach. Our next week is gonna be our
57:20
100th episode of that. That's pretty crazy.
57:22
Yeah, 100 weeks of that. 100 weeks of Eddie filming a video
57:26
every single Wednesday and putting it up the same day.
57:28
Yeah, right. Pretty much, yeah.
57:31
Yeah, we try to do it early, but sometimes it gets pushed.
57:34
We also have Snap On videos that's almost like a weekly
57:38
occurrence. Those do really well.
57:40
So if you want to see when our Snap On guy comes with his truck
57:45
and you want to see what's inside, yeah, we got those
57:47
weekly. Those are somehow our most
57:49
popular videos. I mean, I'll take it.
57:53
Someone came here the other day. They said, oh, I saw you guys
57:56
Snap on videos. I'm looking for a body kit.
57:57
I'm like, wait, so you don't know about us, but you saw our
58:00
Snap On video, but you have two S chassis like that?
58:04
That was just a weird coincidence.
58:06
But yeah, so check out our Snap On videos.
58:08
Those are probably the most popular ones on there.
58:10

59:47
right. Yeah, yeah, That's what you
59:48
would call it. Not a not a parking lot.
59:49
I call a parking lot because it is a parking lot, but it is the

1:00:23
time. Check their stuff out.

1:00:34
You can order the products directly on there, but we also
1:00:37
sell Ramstead MF GS wheel fitment tool.

This is a very, very nice tool that they make.
1:00:45
It makes sizing wheels for your vehicle super easy.
1:00:49
You can know what you need before you buy the wheel.
1:00:52
And we sell them around the website as well.
1:00:54
They're about 100 bucks and it's something that you're going to
1:00:56
buy once, cry once, and that's it.
1:00:58
And honestly, you're not going to cry that much because it's
1:01:00
$100. I could spend $100 at McDonald's
1:01:02
bro and that's a personal problem but still.
1:01:05
Like it's you know, $100 is nothing these days which sucks
1:01:08
but hey it is what it is. Check it out at
1:01:11
factionmotorsports.com. I heard we got a bash bar
1:01:15
sponsor too. Limitless auto fab from bowling,
1:01:19
Illinois. OK they got bash bars for
1:01:21
E36E46350Z miata S13. We recently just uploaded a
1:01:27
video of installing bash bars on the 350Z.
1:01:32
Oh yeah, yeah, that video is, that was a fun video to make
1:01:35
because it only took like fucking 20 minutes and I got
1:01:38
bash bars in my car, so that was cool.
1:01:41
But yeah, what didn't they make a a new front one for us?
1:01:44
Yes, the single bar. Yeah, they made the single bar.
1:01:47
I I requested a single bar for the 350Z and then I, I don't
1:01:51
know if it's on the website yet, but I know they were going to
1:01:53
make it. So if you guys are interested in
1:01:55
that single bar instead of the dual bar, they're going to be
1:01:59
offering that soon as well. The rear bash bar for the Z is
1:02:02
awesome. We tested it out, we put the
1:02:04
Jack under it fit right under the the new origin lab O350Z
1:02:10
body kit fit right past it. Then you get the Jack to the
1:02:14
jacking point without moving the bumper at all.
1:02:16
So definitely really helpful, going to be really helpful at
1:02:19
the track when you're changing tires, you just throw a Jack
1:02:21
under there, Jack the car up and you're done.
1:02:23
So yeah, check those out. You always want to have a bash
1:02:25
bar in your car before you get into a, you know, a little
1:02:30
Fender Bender at the track, because shit's going to be a lot
1:02:32
worse if you don't have one of those guys.
1:02:35

Trust me, I do this everyday and it's kind of just part of the
1:02:53
routine now. I it when I don't do it, I feel
1:02:57
kind of like a scumbag like I'm like my am I just off the path
1:03:01
now? Like that's how I feel when I
1:03:03
don't take my AG one in the morning, But they got a bunch of

1:03:39
and you're good to go. They also got AGZ.
1:03:41
Now I've never tried this stuff, but because if I took a GAGZ is
1:03:45
for sleep all right, Malcolm said if I take AGZ I'll never
1:03:49
wake up. So I don't know if I really need
1:03:52
that. But you got if you have any
1:03:53

So we just get notified, you know, beginning of the month and

then boom, we got to, we got to change it up.
1:04:16
So I do, to be honest, I still don't have the D3 in the K2 and
1:04:21
I'm kind of jealous. So if anyone wants to click the
1:04:24
link, order stuff and give me the D3, that's fine too.
1:04:26
I'll take that. But yeah, check them out and our
1:04:32
latest sponsor. Wrecked Magazine.
1:04:36
Whoa, yeah, you got the magazine right there.
1:04:38
Yeah, I'm looking at it right now.
1:04:40
I'm looking at the. What do you call this?
1:04:42
Like the? Oh, the what do you call it?
1:04:44
The guide content. Contents table.
1:04:48
Contents table Table. Contents.
1:04:50
Yeah, OK, it. Looks like they this is a.
1:04:53
We're not that stupid. This is an issue too.
1:04:56
Yeah, this came out. What?
1:04:57
Yeah. That was the first first quarter
1:04:59
of this month, so probably January, something like that.
1:05:02
They have shop tours with JM Sport.
1:05:05
He was, they were hitting me up. They're like, should we do a
1:05:07
shop tour? I was like, if you want to look
1:05:08
at an empty room, No, I was like, you might want to wait
1:05:11
till spring, but yeah. They cover events, they have
1:05:16
interviews. Oh man, they have a lot of stuff
1:05:19
in here. Dude.
1:05:20
It's. Cool for what is it?
1:05:21
Is it $20? Look at the bag.
1:05:22
I think it says it on the Oh no, I'm thinking of like it.
1:05:26
Like the old the old magazine. Where you were like legally
1:05:28
responsible to put that price on there or something.
1:05:30
I believe they're like 20 bucks a piece.
1:05:32
They're either 20 or $25 a piece for $20 a piece every quarter.
1:05:37
I would just buy them to have them just so I can look back on
1:05:40
all this, because this is basically a, a snapshot of
1:05:44
what's going on in the drifting culture at that time, you know
1:05:46
what I mean? And there's, and there's only
1:05:47
four years. So it's not like it's crazy
1:05:49
expensive. But if you are looking to save
1:05:51
money, they got a subscription set up too on their website.
1:05:52
So just check that out and you can get subscribed.
1:05:55
Stay up to date on all the drifting subculture information
1:06:00
you need, I guess. I mean all the events, all the
1:06:02
shops, everything like that. Physical media is making a
1:06:06
comeback. It kind of is.
1:06:07
I actually heard about a bunch of other magazines across the
1:06:10
country. It's strange.
1:06:11
I didn't even know these existed.
1:06:13
But I think magazines are now becoming kind of like regional
1:06:21
because they're not that popular right now.
1:06:24
Yeah, Yeah, it's very weird, but I don't know.
1:06:27
We, we've always known Wreck Magazine, Wreck Mag was always
1:06:29
like the thing that was around Club loose and all that.
1:06:32
So I, I haven't seen that logo for a long time.
1:06:34
So to me that's like the Drifting magazine.
1:06:36
So, yeah, check them out at wreckmagazine.com to get your
1:06:40
subscription in order and I guess we will see you on the
1:06:44
next one. See you.
