I completely took the headlight buckets apart like, sanded them,
0:03
prime like underneath the springs for the the buckets are
0:07
are restored like. And I'm like, yeah, it's not.
0:10
So will you take like 300 bucks? I guess I don't know.
0:13
I was like, all right, well, whatever.
0:14
He's like, it's a Nismo wing. I'm like, no it's not.
0:16
Everyone likes to point fingers till it's their turn to cash
0:20
out. You ever notice that?
0:21
They just don't get it. So this whole entire
0:24
conversation is pointless. Welcome back everybody to
0:28
another episode of the After Hours podcast.
0:31
Today is kind of a different 1. Carl's not here.
0:35
It's a very rare occasion, but me and my friend Josh de Lise of
0:40
Front St. Drift Club sat down and talked
0:43
about kind of what he's been doing for the last year.
0:46
He's been doing some raffles with two 40s and giving cars
0:51
away. So we talk about that.
0:53
We talk about the next Evolution, as you could call it,
0:57
of his of his brand or business. It's called Evolve TCM, So if
1:04
you want to check that out on Instagram, you can give that a
1:07
follow. He's going to be posting all the
1:08
stuff he does on there as far as building cars for people and any
1:12
other giveaways like that. So the car that's on there right
1:16
now I'm taking a look at it is the current giveaway car and
1:19
it's a great example of what he can do as a car builder.
1:23
So check out that Instagram if you don't know him already.
1:27
It's it's Front St. Drift Club is the other
1:30
Instagram and of course, Front St.
1:31
Josh. So check him out at all the
1:34
three of his Instagrams and give him a follow.
1:38
All right, before jumping into this, please check out our
1:40
sponsors E coaster school. Of course, they got you covered
1:42
when it comes to getting your seat time in over the winter at
1:45
Raceway Park. Limitless auto fab for all your
1:47
vehicles bash bar needs. We're actually doing a giveaway
1:49
for them this month, so make sure to check them out.
1:52

2:11
Of course, the best way to get your drifting information is to
2:14
check out Wreck Magazine. They have a subscription service
2:17
and you can get a magazine quarterly.
2:19
Yes, a physical magazine. This is fucking awesome.
2:23
I love this thing. And don't forget AG One to make
2:26

2:30
offseason. Links are in the description
2:32

2:44
This month we are giving away a set of front and rear bash bars
2:47
from Limitless Auto Fab, so make sure to get those orders in for
2:50
your chance to win. If you don't know what a bash
2:53
bar is, that's probably a good thing, but it's better to know
2:56
now than to find out when it's too late.
2:58
A bash bar is a term Drifters use for a vehicle's crash bar.
3:02
This is the first thing the front and rear of your car
3:04
touches when it makes contact with something it shouldn't.
3:07
And let's face it, the cars we use for drifting are sometimes
3:10
older and past their prime. The metal is weak and just
3:13
waiting for an excuse to fold. Limitless bash bars can
3:16
potentially save you thousands in repairs on a frame machine.
3:19
Limitless Auto Fab is a fabrication company located in
3:22
Illinois that we have been working with for years.
3:24
They offer the best bash bars game which is a part that you
3:27
might not think you need, but trust me, as I'm speaking from
3:29
experience, you will regret it when you get into that first
3:32
crash when drifting and your whole front end crumbles.
3:35
Now this raffle only applies to the bash bars they carry, so
3:38
make sure to check out their website or our website to see if
3:40
they have what you need. I also heard that they are
3:42
releasing bars for a few more vehicles soon, so keep an eye
3:45
out for that. This giveaway will cover those
3:47
as well if they are released, I'd say in the next month or so.
4:02
I'm not doing an intro because Carl does an intro every week
4:07
and it's not necessary because I do a whole intro in the next
4:09
morning for the podcast. You ever think about that,
4:13
Malcolm? You just override his whole
4:15
thing. Well, he doesn't see the intros
4:18
get done, so I guess he thinks that there's not an intro.
4:21
But like, literally every morning, you know, you listen to
4:23
the podcast, I go through the whole fucking thing, and then
4:26
that's how it goes. Why he's hitting his mic.
4:28
So he has no idea that there's like.
4:31
I hear you banging on your. Mind.
4:34
Oh my God. Oh shit.
4:36
Hello. Oh.
4:36
Yeah, like unless he listens to them, he doesn't know what they
4:39
say, so he just assumes that everyone.
4:41
I mean, I would listen to it again.
4:43
You did it. Live.
4:44
Yeah, I wouldn't either. I know he used to, but I don't
4:46
think he still does. There's no way he's still
4:47
listening to these. I would assume so, but.
4:51
Yeah, it was. He was going to be listening to
4:53
this one since he called us earlier.
4:54
Yeah, telling us about his little escapade.
4:56
He just did. Oh no.
4:59
I just got a response from someone selling TE 30 sevens.
5:04
Which one now? That's the the one with the
5:07
gander doors. That's China's.
5:10
The not the right color. OK.
5:11
Yeah. But you want the gander doors.
5:15
Yeah, damn. Do you think he listens to the
5:18
podcast? No what there it is possible,
5:21
but I don't think so. Damn dude.
5:26
All right, so we're going to flip.
5:27
We're going to flip the rules. So, So what are you?
5:28
What are you doing right now? Oh no, we're not flipping the
5:30
roll. No, no, no, please don't.
5:33
We're, we're, we're rogue right now.
5:34
We're we're. Working on the Z.
5:37
But what's what's your plan? What's your end goal?
5:40
With the Z. Yeah, as of right now, because
5:42
you've been, we've been texting for like a few weeks now.
5:47
Well, I need a hood. I need a hatch.
5:50
I need a wing. I need wheels.
5:53
What's wrong with the Hatch? It's got holes in it, like all
5:55
over the place. But like there was an
5:58
aftermarket wing on it. Yeah, like someone put some kind
6:00
of a duck bill thing and there's like holes all by the glass.
6:03
So yeah, you could fix it, but I don't know.
6:07
It's. Also you.
6:08
It's not even that everyone. Everyone else seems to be on the
6:11
same page. They're like oh you need a
6:12
hatch. But I'm starting to think you
6:16
might fix it because it's really fucking annoying trying to find
6:18
this. Did I tell you what happened the
6:20
other day when I went to Brooklyn to find a hatch?
6:23
Yeah, I mean, you might as well just tell, tell everyone now.
6:26
Yeah, so, well, I don't want to tell the second part of that
6:30
story because we are making a video on it, so I'm excited for
6:33
that. But we're going to pick.
6:35
I was going to pick something up and this guy was like, yeah, I
6:37
got a Nismo or this junkyard was like, yeah, I got a Nismo 2007
6:41
hatch with the wing and everything.
6:43
And I'm like, OK, for mind you, I waited 10 days because the
6:48
first time I called him, he was like, I'm in fucking I'm in
6:52
Costa Rica right now. I'm like, why are you answering?
6:54
Like it's a normal like he's like, like you call the junkyard
6:57
or whatever and he's like, hello.
6:59
I'm like, yeah, you got you guys got a wing or Nismo wings And
7:02
that he's like, I don't know, I'll be back on the 10th.
7:06
I'm in Costa Rica. I'm like, OK, I figured this was
7:08
the shop phone, but all right. And then like, he starts talking
7:11
to me like we're friends. Like, he starts making
7:14
conversation, like, and then he comes back and I call him.
7:16
He's like, oh, yeah, I remember. Yeah.
7:18
The wing. Yeah.
7:20
You won't believe it. I fucking lost $10,000.
7:23
I came back and they took all my money at the airport, I guess
7:25
because he didn't. Like he didn't claim.
7:27
It Yeah, so they took like $10,000 in cash or whatever.
7:31
They could do that. Yeah, I guess.
7:32
I don't know how it works. I guess he was.
7:34
He said he was gambling or something.
7:36
Oh, so maybe he probably didn't claim it and.
7:38
Yeah, so now he's like freaking out this and that.
7:41
I was like, Oh yeah, that's crazy.
7:43
So you got that hatch with the wing and he's like, yeah, I was
7:46
like, oh, what? Kind of like I was trying to.
7:49
I was trying to act like it wasn't special because.
7:52
I've done that. Yeah, because you don't know.
7:54
Like you don't know if he knows or not.
7:56
And it turns out he kind of knew, but he's like, yeah, I
8:02
got, I was like, can you send me a photo?
8:04
He's like, yeah, give me a minute.
8:06
I'm doing some shit over here. I got to call the news because
8:08
this guy, I'm going to call the news and tell him about the
8:11
airport, all the shit. I'm like, what?
8:13
Anyway, never sends me the photo.
8:15
I'm going to Long Island for some other reason.
8:18
And I was like, I was like, and it's the worst fucking time,
8:21
dude. It's like 4:00 in the.
8:22
Afternoon. Worst time.
8:23
If you don't leave at like 4:00 in the morning, there's no point
8:25
in even going out that way. But you know how my brain works
8:29
with the like, OK, I'm going there.
8:32
Well, it's kind of how everyone's brain works when they
8:34
live over here. But it's like, I'm going to pay
8:35
the toll. So let me see how many things I
8:37
could do at the same time. So I was like, fuck it.
8:40
I called Malcolm. I'm like, yo, get that guy's
8:42
number, this and that. I'm going to call him right now.
8:43
I call him. He's like, yeah, I got the
8:47
Hatch. I was like, can you give me a
8:48
photo? He's like, or he's like, I'll
8:50
try, but, you know, no luck. This and that.
8:52
I was like, all right. He's like, yeah, the paint's not
8:54
good. The paint's fucked.
8:55
I'm like, OK, fuck it, I'll swing by.
8:58
I don't know. I put it in.
9:02
It was literally, I'm literally in Jersey City at the tunnel and
9:07
he's in Brooklyn and it's like 2 hours.
9:10
I'm like, this is insane, dude. I'm like, all right.
9:12
Say well over an hour. But yeah, I'm like, all right,
9:16
so I started, it was maybe like an hour and a half and it's
9:18
4:00. So I was like, I never, I've
9:20
probably never in my life driven into New York City at 5:00.
9:23
I've probably never done that because I don't know why you
9:25
would do that. So.
9:27
For all things, like for all cars.
9:29
Yeah, yeah, true. And then the story will make
9:33
more sense one day when we get this video out.
9:35
But this side quest of the story doesn't make any sense.
9:38
Kind of. But we.
9:38
So I go, dude, I was in the snow.
9:42
Like where do you work? Do you still work in Staten
9:44
Island or do you work? Yeah, but.
9:46
I work in the city and yeah, I'm around.
9:49
You can see how fuck it, the snow fucking destroyed
9:51
everything. Like every every three lane
9:53
turned into one lane. Yeah, I.
9:56
Do it, I do it in the city at work.
9:58
Like the past month has been terrible just because I lost 1
10:02
bus lane. Driving the bus in this with the
10:04
snow. It's it's bad do.
10:06
You just like not get anywhere on time like it's just.
10:09
For the past month, you know I've been getting back like well
10:12
over an hour late. Like both ways.
10:14
Yeah, that's what it seemed like because I was like at one point,
10:17
I'm on this road. I forget the name of the road,
10:20
but I'm sure people would know it.
10:21
It's it's, it's a main road in Brooklyn that that goes fucking
10:25
forget the name, but. Flatbush.
10:28
No victory or something maybe. No, that's not.
10:34
OK, anyway, I'm on that road and I'm like, OK, it's not that far
10:38
away and it's like 1 hour remaining and I'm like it's I
10:40
could run there and 100% get there faster, like probably 30
10:45
minutes faster. But anyway, get there.
10:48
Got to do like 7 loops to find parking because every there's no
10:52
parking dude, it's snow everywhere.
10:55
I call the guy, I'm like, yo, you're not closing right now.
10:57
He's like, I'm closing right now.
10:59
I'm like fucking God damn. I literally make it there like 5
11:01
minutes to closing The he, the guy's in the back.
11:04
He shows, mind you, I don't know, like if people, I mean,
11:09
I'm sure there's people listening to this that never
11:10
been to like a fucking real city.
11:12
But this junkyard dude, can you look it up?
11:14
Malcolm actually remember the name of it.
11:15
It was like, I don't. Remember.
11:18
Fuck, it was a just like a God. It was like car, car, something
11:24
car. Oh, I can go on my Google Maps,
11:27
right? Let me see, this is worth it
11:31
just to see the image of what this fucking place?
11:33
Looks like I already know what it looks like.
11:35
It's probably got 5 levels of cars stacked on top of each
11:39
other, there's probably 30 bumpers stacked on top of each
11:42
other, and the junkyard itself is probably the perimeter of.
11:47
Yeah, Class A, cars and parts. If anyone wants to, well, you'll
11:51
we'll get to the end of the story.
11:54
Class A Cars and parts. Where?
11:55
What's that address? I'll tell you right now.
11:57
Oh. Go to like the Google, Google
12:01
Street View. That's it, That's it.
12:08
But there was no you could not get in there.
12:10
All of that was filled with shit.
12:12
Yeah, I believe it. Like like.
12:14
Probably 3rd, 3rd right in the corner.
12:17
Yeah, so all that shit was just blocked in there and you
12:21
couldn't. So I'm like getting in between
12:23
everything. He's like, oh, here it is.
12:24
It's just fucking sitting on a pile of garbage.
12:26
Paint's fucking destroyed. It was white.
12:28
And he's like, and it's his dude, he's just showing me it
12:31
like he doesn't fucking know what he's looking at.
12:33
And I'm looking at it and I'm like, first thing I did was I
12:36
looked for the third brake light at the top because the Nismo
12:38
doesn't have that. And it was there and I was like,
12:41
OK, so it's not a Nismo trunk. And then I looked at the badges.
12:44
The 350Z was there, but the Nismo badge wasn't there.
12:46
And I was like, OK, well, no one's taking one off, you know
12:49
what I mean? So I was like, all right, it's
12:50
not a Nismo trunk. Yeah.
12:52
So I was like this wing, the chance of this wing being real
12:55
is about 4%, you know what I mean?
12:58
Like so I go back in and everything else was like kind of
13:01
OK but it was scratched up like fucked up all over the place.
13:07
I go back inside. I now for people who want that
13:11
this guy will take like 400 bucks.
13:13
So go find this place if you're interested.
13:16
And to be honest with you, I can't tell.
13:17
That might be a OK price. Like even for fake shit.
13:20
Nothing about these. All I can tell you is that Wing
13:23
OEM $1500 or more like in the States, that's how much they go
13:30
for. How insane is that?
13:32
I mean how expensive is that car like?
13:35
Probably 25 to 35 grand. I feel like I seen them online
13:41
for like 25 grand, something like that.
13:42
So but yeah, this is fucking crazy, dude.
13:45
It looks like it looks like it's from a movie, but so I go back.
13:49
In that looks like a JDM junkyard like that on the other
13:53
side of the world. There's a 180SX on thing and
13:58
they're there with a hacksaw like.
13:59
That's where fucking Brian found the skyline in fucking Arizona.
14:03
When you know, he's going through.
14:05
But so I go and I'm like, look, look, man, that's not a Nismo
14:09
trunk. He's like, Nah, it's a Nismo
14:11
trunk. You know, when they get quiet
14:12
because they know they're fucking lying.
14:14
And I'm like, yeah, it's not. So will you take like 300 bucks?
14:18
I guess I don't know. And he's like, Nah, I was like,
14:22
all right, well, whatever. He's like, it's enismo wing.
14:24
I'm like, no, it's not. He's like, yeah, I mean, a lot
14:26
of people come here, but none of them take it.
14:28
I'm like because it's not real. Yeah, it's not real.
14:30
And he's like, Nah, I'm like, he's just.
14:34
Waiting for the right guy to not know any better.
14:36
Exactly. Yeah.
14:37
So I was like, all right, dude, whatever I call Malcolm, I'm
14:40
like, it won't be me. Yeah, I'm like, should I do it?
14:43
And he's. He doesn't know either.
14:44
I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, everything could be
14:46
kind of solved right now if I just buy this.
14:48
Like, we got to paint it, but oh, you know what?
14:50
I didn't do it. There was like fucking window
14:53
caulking on the front of the wing because you know what
14:56
fucking leaks. Or cracked.
14:58
Yeah, So I was like, yeah, just because of that alone, I'm like,
15:01
I'm not doing it, but I feel like I could have bought that,
15:03
cleaned it up and sold it. That's why I was on the fence.
15:06
But it's like. It seemed a little bit more
15:08
trouble than what it's worth. Yeah, but going there was kind
15:11
of more trouble than it was worth, you know what I mean?
15:13
That's why it's like. I think you probably got a
15:14
little delirious that. Yeah, well, we, yeah.
15:17
On the phone with him before I was, I was like, yeah, I call
15:19
him back. When he gave me the price, I was
15:21
like, yo, he said 400 bucks. He's like you were.
15:23
Trying to like, convince yourself that it was like,
15:25
actually a good deal. He's like, you better go get
15:27
that shit right now. That's what you said.
15:30
And I was like, yeah, I guess I got to go look.
15:32
But I told him on the phone I was like, it could be fake.
15:35
Like he could have no idea what he's looking at, or it could
15:37
have no like, I don't know. 9 times out of 10 they don't know
15:40
like these people that are that have stuff coming in I know like
15:43
that they have no idea. Because I've been on the phone
15:45
with junk yards for like 3 weeks just because I'm on that.
15:48
For people that don't know what is it car part car-part.com or
15:52
some shit, it's like. Yeah, I've seen that.
15:54
It's pretty much like a directory for.
15:56
All junk yards. So I've been calling those
15:59
places up and yeah, a lot of them like they either answer and
16:02
it's like a crackhead or no one answers where they call you and
16:07
they Oh yeah, call this guy over here.
16:09
I'm like, what? How in another state you guys
16:11
work together and he's like, yeah, sometimes we ship things.
16:15
Anyway, I haven't gotten fucking anywhere.
16:17
It's been like a month. And well, right now there's a
16:21
guy in Florida. They all they do is there's a
16:25
lot of places that all they do is junk.
16:28
ZS QS. There's the one on the West
16:30
Coast, I think it's like SAC City.
16:32
Yeah. SAC.
16:34
SAC City, I watched a video that they put up the other day and it
16:37
was actually pretty informative. I don't know what it was.
16:39
I don't know if it's them or if it's like a shop in their place
16:42
that's doing it, but it was like a Jay-Z thing and it was pretty
16:45
informative. But yeah, a lot, a lot of places
16:49
do that, which is weird to me. You know, like you can really
16:53
run a business just doing scrap for GS and anything with a VQ.
16:58
I think as long as there's like, I think as long as there's a
17:01
niche market and a Facebook marketplace group for that,
17:04
they'll always be a business for someone.
17:07
Like that makes me think that. Well, I got to fix these real
17:10
quick. What's wrong with them?
17:11
No, my ear was like super itchy. That's the crabs.
17:15
Those are Carl's. That's why.
17:18
What was I going to say? So I was thinking like, you
17:22
could just do that with two 40s, but someone's probably already
17:25
did. That that's like the most
17:27
saturated. I know Thing, yeah.
17:29
And they're gone pretty much. So you can't really do that now.
17:33
But with ZS they're still around so I guess it's fine.
17:37
But it's this still blows my mind that you can do that with
17:40
one car. Well, that's kind of why I
17:43
wanted to like start my new, new venture.
17:46
Like Speaking of that, like the market is so saturated with the
17:49
used parts. Yeah, there's not a market for
17:54
restored parts. Yeah.
17:57
So yeah, tell me more about what your plan, because you probably
18:00
have a bunch of ideas I don't even know about.
18:02
So I mean, we've been friends for God knows how long at this
18:06
point. Like, you know, like I've done
18:08
side work for teammates, for people on Instagram.
18:12
So it's been more or less. You've built some cars for
18:14
people out of your garage too, like.
18:15
Yeah, I've built, I think, I think I've built 6 cars like
18:19
total. Like legitimate.
18:22
Yeah, from like normal to as crazy as you want to go, like
18:26
yeah. And they RIP right out the box.
18:28
So yeah, essentially my plan is. So I launched an Instagram page
18:33
a couple weeks ago. It's called Evolved Total Car
18:36
Makeover and. Go on that Malcolm.
18:39
I want to do some investigating. It's like 1 poster.
18:41
Yeah, it's just one post, and it's the giveaway post we'll
18:44
we'll get into. That you should make that
18:45
Eddie's background, Malcolm, before you leave.
18:48
What? Just make that Eddie's
18:49
background the one you have up here.
18:56
Yeah. So it's a current giveaway.
18:57
OK. So yeah, that was the the launch
19:00
date. So the car that I'm debuting
19:02
right now would be my demo car. So I've used this more or less
19:07
for advertisement for my business.
19:09
So would you say like any giveaway car is going to be a
19:11
demo car kind of thing? Yeah, I would like to do 1,
19:15
maybe like two or three-year tops because this is a little,
19:19
you know, time. It it takes time, time and
19:22
effort to build something like this meticulous.
19:26
Yeah, first comment, not to get into the bullshit right off the
19:29
bat, but zone lots of people complaining and not doing it
19:32
themselves. Get your bread up 100 percent,
19:36
100%. Like everyone complaining about
19:38
like, oh, he's going to make this much money off this, this
19:41
and that. The other thing dude, no one
19:42
cares like. Like like, do you know how much
19:45
it costs to to build that? Not only that, it's like shop,
19:48
it's like, are you really going to go on here, complain about
19:49
what someone else is doing and then not do anything?
19:51
Like dude, that you look pretty pathetic when you do that.
19:54
And then go click on the profile.
19:55
They probably got some Bumgar they.
19:57
Probably ain't doing shit like that's how I feel yeah, but I
20:03
know I what front bumper is that on this car?
20:06
Sorry to like sidetrack you, but.
20:07
It's G Corp type 1. That bumper is sick.
20:11
Does it have two vents? Yeah.
20:14
Damn. So I'm not going to take credit
20:16
for the exterior. The exterior was already done
20:19
when I got the car. Everything else around the car
20:21
was literally falling apart. OK, like it was hanging by a
20:25
thread. So pretty much the back story
20:27
that I've got from it is that the way you see it, it was more
20:32
or less built like that. It was on different wheels.
20:34
It was already Sr. swapped. I found more lore on that car.
20:38
I end up finding the original owner of the car and the swap,
20:42
like the swap in that car was done like pre 2010, OK?
20:47
Like I think 2007, 2008. So it's like the one of the
20:52
first ones. Yeah, it it was really dated and
20:54
you could really, you could really tell.
20:56
So pretty much everything, it was hanging on by a thread on
20:59
this thing. And I don't know, I just, I saw
21:01
it on marketplace and I was like, I can see this going
21:04
downhill because the next person that's going to buy it, is it
21:08
just going to hack it up even more?
21:10
And it's like down grading like like between like the past like
21:13
4-4 owners. I just see it going down a
21:17
slippery slope. Like it looked nice on the
21:19
outside, but that's all it did. It just took a nice picture.
21:22
Did. It have the wheels.
21:24
No, it had TS on it but they're all cracked and they're bronze
21:28
underneath. Whoever whichever owner it was,
21:31
they spray painted them white over the OG anodized bronze.
21:35
Yeah, you told me that. That's crazy, the bronze that
21:38
everyone wants. Yeah, so I didn't know that
21:41
until I physically went to go see the car.
21:42
And then I saw the anodized poking out of the thing.
21:45
I was like, oh boy. Like, yeah, all right, like.
21:49
So you started, well, you were building cars in your garage and
21:53
then you kind of stopped, and then you got into giveaways.
21:57
Why'd you stop? Just because of life shit going
22:00
on. There's just a lot of stuff
22:01
going on, like, yeah, I had a lot more free time when I was
22:05
living in my parents house and that's more or less when I did
22:07
like the bulk. OK.
22:10
And then I mean, I think people had a lot more money to spend
22:14
during COVID and their. Time.
22:16
Yeah, that's when it was. And I think it's it's tapered
22:20
off like I've done a couple cars like here and there or just like
22:24
smaller jobs. But you built Brian's car at
22:26
that time too, right? I built Brian's car.
22:28
Yeah, during the pandemic. Yeah, that car was clean.
22:31
People still talk about that because of that video.
22:33
Yeah, that car checking. He's still using that car and
22:37
he's, oh wait, which one are you talking about?
22:39
The red hats. The red one.
22:41
Damn, I I forgot about that. I thought we were talking about
22:43
the Sylvia. So yeah, I built two of his
22:44
cars. Oh, you did the Sylvia too.
22:47
We should do a car check on this car, honestly.
22:49
But. I know it's, it's snowed today
22:52
and yeah, there's always like something going on, but.
22:58
Yeah, we probably should have thought about.
22:59
Well, we wanted, we wanted to do the we were gonna do a drifting
23:03
video. It's just the weather has been
23:05
so bad out here and. That would have been.
23:08
Not really helping. I feel like for the next one you
23:11
do, we should do that. I mean, there's still time.
23:14
We're at I think 215 spots filled so far, so.
23:19
Out of 375. So getting ready toward like
23:23
approaching the the three quarter.
23:25

directly over on chasebays.com. When you do these, I'm going to
24:32
make this new a giveaway podcast, but because I have a
24:34
lot of questions. But when you do these like do
24:39
you I feel like knowing you I've and talking to you during them,
24:43
I feel like you get like antsy to finish it, like you just want
24:48
it done like you don't have patience when it starts does.
24:53
That make sense no, cuz then that would just make a team like
24:56
I'm just like rushing to get it out and flip like I've had that
24:59
car four months. I think the only thing I was
25:02
itching is I was itching to make use of it.
25:05
Yeah. And by the time, like.
25:07
Well, I'm surprised you yeah, I'm surprised you didn't end up
25:09
peeping it cuz it's. I feel like that every time I
25:11
put a fucking. But this one is like.
25:14
This one, Yeah, this one's really.
25:15
Good. Yeah, I like, I like this one a
25:17
lot. Like I like the colour.
25:18
The wheels are amazing. Everything's that bumper is
25:22
sick. So is that the full kit too?
25:24
Yeah, it's full, full matching kit.
25:26
It's got super made, super made hood.
25:29
So that's it's a stock stock hood, but it has the the mold
25:35
from Garage S. Oh, so they sell it like that?
25:39
Yeah, they did. I guess Garage S, I'm butchering
25:43
it, but I'm pretty sure Garage S was discontinued and Super Made
25:47
had the molds OK mold and they were selling that.
25:50
So it's like a mold on yeah vent.
25:52
That's interesting. I have on if you go to my
25:56
personal page Malcolm in the highlights there should be a
26:00
link for the Google Drive folder.
26:04
So that's what it looked like. What?
26:06
Yeah. I love the comments.
26:09
You Gen. Z kids don't know how easy you
26:11
have it. The wire harness, Yeah.
26:13
It was so bad. OK, I didn't know that Bay was
26:16
that fucked. Yeah, it was bad.
26:20
It had like some like rust repair thing like on the strut
26:24
tower and I had to fix that. That's like seem sealed and
26:27
situated. I feel like you get to explore
26:31
car parts that you never got that you want to get.
26:33
That's why I like doing it. Yeah.
26:36
So see, this is what I was talking about to you earlier.
26:39
Wait, go back to the exhaust. So see like where it kicks out?
26:43
Yeah, yeah. I think something with that is
26:45
like angled a little different. That's like causing it not to
26:49
fit in the bumper like properly because the downpipe that was
26:54
originally on it had a flex pipe, but the IT was like an
26:56
aftermarket flex pipe and it was had a hole in it.
26:59
So I think it was allowing it to line up good, but now that
27:02
everything's fixed it like. That's weird.
27:05
Is not complying, yeah. It makes you think that because
27:08
the rest is This is all for a factory car on the left, right?
27:11
Yeah, this makes you think of something with the bumper.
27:14
But on the Kakimoto website where they advertise the car,
27:17
they have it on like AGT, like AGT car and I think it has a
27:22
stock bumper with like no, you know, like valence or anything
27:26
on it. So I think they.
27:27
Probably. Just kicked it out in like any
27:29
direction and. Dude that bumper, like you can't
27:32
see the bumper in these photos. I know it like got dark like the
27:37
ones like take these photos. That bumper is so unique.
27:40
Like, you don't see that ever in the States.
27:44
And it's 1718 too. Yeah, 1718.
27:48
Yeah, the the fact that you did the, the, the headliner or
27:51
whatever. The the headliner is the only
27:53
thing I don't. OK, but you did the seat belt
27:55
conversion. Yeah.
27:56
Yeah, like that's a lot. That's a lot of shit to find,
28:00
you know what I mean? I think if you're going to go
28:02
all the way and like make it, you know, like a, a clone or so
28:06
to speak, like you should go all the way because there's so many
28:10
like little nuances and yeah, and details like it's.
28:14
And he's a faction sticker on the right now.
28:17
Wait, so that's the go back to that one, Malcolm.
28:19
So that's the bumper situation right now.
28:20
Yeah. So see how it's like kind of a?
28:23
Little bit. Resting in that little corner,
28:25
yeah, I can't pull on it because the exhaust hanger that it's not
28:31
welded onto the canister. So it's basically like AT bolt
28:34
clamp and like a universal hanger that they have and it
28:38
clamps onto it there. So when I try to push on it or
28:42
pull the the hanger kind of. To be honest, it looks it looks
28:45
like the exhaust is too far over, like there's no problems
28:49
with the bumper, right? So no, the bumper is, yeah, the
28:52
fitment's perfect. It's just the exhaust, so.
28:54
What wing is that? It's AD Max, Really.
28:57
Yeah. What the fuck?
29:00
This is crazy dude. This car is kind of sick.
29:03
Like it's crazy that you built this and then you just get rid
29:06
of it. Yeah, I had ABNM short shifter.
29:08
I put the stock shifter with the GK tech like shifter springs in
29:11
it. So it's like super nice.
29:13
Those the D Max floor mats that's.
29:17
The one that's crazy? The 1st.
29:19
Thing I ever bought from you that was.
29:21
Probably 15 years ago or something.
29:23
So this is pretty much the full, the full like spec and of
29:27
everything that I did and all the parts, some parts are on
29:30
there, but most of the stuff that's on there is new.
29:33
Because like I said, the swap was done so long ago that
29:37
everything was like hanging on by a thread.
29:38
Like when I took the turbos, I told you, because I needed the
29:41
turbo lines. Yeah, like the the oil feed was
29:45
like so kinked and like rock hard that when I put it back on
29:49
it started. It was like spraying over the
29:51
steering rack. It cleared everything and I was
29:53
like what is going on? Here.
29:56
Oh wow, you got a fucking hole. Yeah.
29:58
So when I do giveaways, I want to be like pretty transparent
30:01
about exactly like every single little detail and like nuance
30:06
with the car and like. And you got PBM fucking coils
30:09
on. It yeah, the PBM coils were on
30:11
it. The only thing that wasn't on it
30:13
was the lock collar I think. I guess the previous owner
30:17
wanted to make it lower than what it was, but since there's
30:20
no lock collar it was like turning when I would turn.
30:25
So if I turned a. Certain way the car would like
30:27
violently like pull to the right.
30:29
I'm like what the hell is going on?
30:30
And then I finally like figured it out.
30:33
Now what do you do when someone wins this from fucking
30:36
California Cuz it's. Always a that's on me to ship it
30:40
out. Really.
30:41
So you so they don't pay for that.
30:43
So all right, we'll start with the first giveaway that I did,
30:46
the 180SX that's still in Japan, but that's in the process of
30:51
getting exported. So when I first did it, I gave
30:54
someone the option to either take over the ownership of the
30:57
car over there, you pay for the storage for the car, you can use
31:00
it. I will pay for your flight to go
31:02
out there, enjoy it and handle all the all the logistics and
31:06
like I have tires, fuel, spare parts for the car.
31:09
Like you go enjoy it, it's yours now like you want it, or I'll
31:13
export it on on my behalf. So the person that one decided
31:17
on that's a hard. Decision to make.
31:19
I don't know what I would do. I I, I wish personally I I would
31:24
take the trip like. Especially.
31:26
You know, being out there and like you don't get to do that
31:29
like everyday. But that was the owner's
31:32
decision and he he wanted the car exported.
31:34
So still in the process of getting that that shipped over,
31:39
but. Yeah, that one was crazy.
31:41
That car was so good I didn't want to get.
31:43
Rid of that car was good. Too.
31:45
I kind of just had no choice but to get rid of it.
31:48
It's like, I don't know how to say this without being or
31:51
sounding like I'm calling you an asshole or something, but just
31:54
so everyone knows, Josh is putting a lot of work into these
31:59
cars. Like is this?
32:00
Is this only the second one or you did 3?
32:02
This is the third you did 3 The 180SX was the first one.
32:06
The second one I did was a stock S13 dual Cam hatch that was like
32:11
A1 owner car. So basically what I'm trying to
32:14
say is you're not doing the bare minimum.
32:18
To. Make money.
32:19
No, I'm doing this because I want someone to enjoy the car.
32:23
Like like the shit you're doing to the car, like sometimes I get
32:25
confused when you're texting me. I'm like, why are you putting so
32:27
much effort into this? What I get out of this is that I
32:31
get to experiment with different processes for how I want to
32:35
build my own car. Yeah, So I'm still in the
32:39
process of restoring my wife's Miata.
32:41
So I'm learning things like here and there with that.
32:45
And also we're still building S15 like I want to know more or
32:50
less like. Different ways to do things.
32:52
Yeah, not necessarily like what risk I can take, but I can use
32:56
this as a free canvas to try certain products.
32:59
Yeah, no, because most people, I feel like not most people.
33:03
I don't really know anyone that does giveaways.
33:05
So I can't speak from experience, but I know people
33:07
that like, I listen to podcasts where people do like motorcycle
33:10
giveaways and stuff. And some people ran like
33:13
legitimate businesses just doing giveaways.
33:15
So. But yeah, it seems like maybe.
33:18
I have a deeper, I have a deeper intent with this like like of
33:23
course, like my services are not going to be free.
33:25
Like this did take almost five months to build like that.
33:30
That's not free. These parts aren't free, but at
33:32
the end of the day, there's not enough cool cars out on the road
33:37
and not everyone has the income to, you know, do something to
33:42
this magnitude. So.
33:44
Yeah, I could. I could go off on those comments
33:46
even more. Like what?
33:48
Like that one, what he said, what he said he said not to not
33:51
to point people out, but he's like you're selling a so you're
33:53
selling a 240 for 37 grand. That's wild or something like
33:57
that. My first thought is, well, he's
33:59
not doing that. Yeah, he's actually because it
34:02
would be listed. He's actually just doing a
34:03
giveaway. You're spending $100 on the car
34:07
or you're losing it. It's a gamble.
34:10
You know what I mean? Like thinking too logically.
34:11
They're they're not. Yeah, it's just like I wouldn't,
34:13
I could never write that on someone's post because I'm, I'd
34:16
feel like. A hater.
34:19
No, I'd feel like an an idiot. I'd be like, you're doing
34:23
something smart and I'm not. Essentially.
34:27
Like that's what it looks like to me.
34:28
I'm like, what? But yeah, I mean, more power to
34:32
you. I, I would, I wouldn't even
34:33
fucking put a number on there. I would just fucking list it up
34:36
and let people. You, you could never win.
34:38
Like even if I did half, half the amount like that, let's say
34:44
if I did it for half the amount of I look, I'd First off, I
34:48
would be I'd be completely in the negative.
34:52
I would be doing you a favour. I could bet my life that some
34:55
random person when she hits the fan is going to sell the car for
34:58
for way more money. Oh yeah, true, yeah.
35:03
Everyone likes to point fingers till it's their turn to cash
35:06
out. You ever notice that?
35:08
Yeah, definitely. The thing is like just.
35:11
The market in general, That shit pisses me off.
35:13
So. Much like I would in your
35:16
situation right now, Like did you, did you end up responding?
35:18
Did you respond to those people? There's no point because.
35:20
There's no point. There's literally no point
35:22
because. No matter what you say, the
35:23
pictures. Speak for themselves.
35:24
Like like I would if it was me I would post that shit.
35:29
God. It's hard though because you
35:30
have to respond to people. I would post that shit and never
35:33
look at the comments. Just be like yeah if you got a
35:35
question let me know DM me. Well that's essentially what I
35:38
did and like on my story I wanted to put well First off
35:41
when I posted this I was sick so I didn't even get to respond to
35:45
any of this. I was like practically on my
35:47
deathbed for like 2-3 days. I had got food poisoning, but I
35:52
had a debt. I wanted to do this a lot
35:54
sooner, but it's been dragging out a lot longer than I wanted
35:57
to. And I was like, OK, like,
35:59
whatever happens, happens. Like I'm just just putting it
36:02
out. Yeah.
36:03
I mean, it's like, I don't know, it's crazy.
36:06
It's a big, it's a big deal right now.
36:08
These giveaways. I mean, it's been, it's been
36:10
that way since COVID. Giveaways have been a thing
36:12
since COVID from what I remember, like everyone's been
36:15
doing. Cars.
36:16
Motorcycles, Yeah, people will have no problem like shelling
36:19
out money to like their favorite content creator for.
36:22
Oh yeah, that too. You know, probably making a
36:25
quarter $1,000,000 profit on something that they probably
36:29
spent half as much as I did. Yeah, but.
36:32
I mean, you, you waste a lot of money every day, $100 towards a
36:37
like, it's a, it's a, it's a. 2 door dashes like a.
36:41
Lot further, yeah. Like I I've been tempted to but
36:44
I just don't do it cuz I'm like, I just feel like you ever feel
36:48
that way? Like it'll be weird if this
36:49
person wins. No.
36:52
You don't feel that way. Not at all.
36:54
Have you dealt with that shit yet?
36:55
Well you're only getting a third giveaway.
36:57
What where they think it's rigged or something?
36:59
Not yeah, I haven't had that. Yeah, that happened yet.
37:03
I do know the second winner like on a person level but if
37:07
anything like. I think I remember that.
37:09
Yeah, it makes it like that much sweeter.
37:11
The person that won because the person that 1 ended up winning
37:14
that car, they sold their car because they were going through
37:18
some like, financial hardships and they didn't really want.
37:23
They were in a position where they were forced to get rid of
37:25
something that they actually loved.
37:27
And the best part about it is that he was so adamant that he
37:31
hoped to like, one day, like, you know, do this again.
37:34
He kept certain parts off that car.
37:37
So now that he won this car 2. 42 like.
37:41
Yeah, yeah. That's crazy.
37:43
It ended up being Josh Lewis. He listened to this.
37:45
So he stopped drifting. Yeah, he end up selling the car
37:48
to to Mike Power he. Oh, OK.
37:51
He end up buying a house. I remember some people are
37:54
forced to adult a lot sooner than than others, and he thought
37:58
that was a good choice at the time.
38:00
And I just remember when whatever he he sent it for me, I
38:05
was like cool. And then maybe like 2-3 days
38:08
later he's like, I have a good feeling about this one.
38:10
And then he like that's crazy. Whatever sent again, I was like
38:13
yo like if anyone like yeah, props to you like hope it goes
38:18
your. Way so you can buy as many
38:19
tickets as you want. Yeah, you could buy as many
38:20
tickets as you want and have 3rd, 2nd and 1st place so.
38:25
So what are the other ones when? It'll it'll be a cash out prize.
38:29
Oh, OK. So 4th, 4th place, I'll I'll
38:33
give you a spot back. Third was 250, second was 500
38:38
and then. OK, And then OK, let's get back
38:41
to the transport ship. So you got you got you'd have to
38:44
pay to transport the car and that's included in the thing.
38:47
Can you go to the main giveaway Instagram thing?
38:52
I want to see. Oh it does say shipped and it's
38:58
got AC. What?
38:58
Yeah, the belt's not hooked up, but it's all there.
39:03
What? Happens when you win and you're
39:04
in Hawaii. You don't.
39:07
You're not allowed. If you don't win.
39:10
You don't win. Yeah, I mean, well, you can win,
39:13
but you have to figure out how to get it because it says
39:16
shipped 48 states. Yeah, so, so you beat, yeah,
39:20
like yeah, you won, but you got to get it and you got to get it
39:23
quick because it's going to go to auto preserve and then we're
39:26
going to start charging storage so.
39:28
But I mean this, this isn't the bread and butter.
39:32
Ideally, like, like I said, I'm doing this because I want to
39:35
advertise my work and my services.
39:38
This I think is a pretty good example of what I can do like.
39:43
Yeah. Another thing I want to say,
39:47
this is a way for you to build cars that you don't want to
39:49
drift anymore, but you want. Yeah, like, because we all know
39:53
you like low cars, but you don't want to drift them anymore.
39:56
So it's like you're building them and you get to experience
39:59
them. Well, I posted on my story like
40:01
I I like driving the way I do. Yeah.
40:06
I like that style driving. I like that style car, but I
40:10
don't want to deal with that like in a track setting.
40:13
But I love these cars so much. I want to enjoy them all year
40:16
round. I want one of both.
40:18
I've had one of both and I need it again.
40:21
Yeah, I need it. I mean this is a good way to get
40:25
that. Oh, I'm driving it right now and
40:27
I'm. Like, you're like, shit, maybe
40:29
the giveaway could go on for a little bit longer.
40:30
That's all right. I still want to bring it to the
40:33
track. Yeah.
40:35
That's why I built it. What is Megan racing on this
40:38
thing? The strut bar and the arms.
40:42
All the arms are Megan racing. And they're good.
40:45
Yeah, it's got tension arms, adjustable uppers and toe arms.
40:49
And it's got the original fucking works too.
40:52
The CR Chi, not the CR Li. Not the Not the kwami.
40:57
Yeah, not the kwami's. The finish isn't original, but
41:02
it's close to it and it has the original stickers.
41:05
Yeah, you saw a fucking the car check we did.
41:10
That car is. It's pretty sick.
41:12
The wheels are sick, Yeah. Unreal.
41:15
Are these silver or are these Chrome?
41:17
They're silver, I'm thinking. Of his car.
41:18
That's why I'm looking at these, yeah.
41:20
Yeah, he has the the brush metal.
41:23
Yeah, dude, every time we fucking, I don't know, there's
41:26
always like that one car where you're like, it makes you feel
41:30
like you're at final bout for the first time.
41:32
That's the feeling I got when I saw his car.
41:33
I was like, yeah, there's always that one car that's just like.
41:37
Yeah, I was saying that car is can we pull up that car again,
41:40
please? Yeah, Logan's Limitless Auto Fab
41:42
is a fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
41:45
They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
41:47
models in the drifting community.
41:49
Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
41:52
Fabricated from 1 1/2 inch mild steel tube, these bars are
41:55
designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
41:58
avoid or minimize damage to your vehicle.
42:00
A must have for drift cars, their bars also come with
42:03
jacking points and optional license plate brackets so
42:05
everything you need is right there from the start.
42:07
Limitless Auto also sells catch cans for a handful of specific
42:11
models. These cans are built in house
42:13
and chassis specific. We have used these cans in the
42:15
shop with great results. The guys over at Limitless are
42:18
on social media so make sure to check out their Instagram and
42:20
give them a follow. They post photos of all the
42:23
drift cards using their products from Front St.
42:24
Drift Club to Animal Style. If you are in the market for a
42:27
bash bar or catch can, make sure to check out their full product
42:30
line up on our website Faction Motor sports.com.
42:33
This podcast is sponsored by Ramstead MFG.
42:36
They sell an easy to use wheel fitment tool that is a massive
42:39
game changer for any shop or enthusiast looking for an easy
42:41
way to check their wheel fitment.
42:43
With their user friendly tool you can check diameter with an
42:46
offset before you buy your wheels.
42:48
Gone are the days of ordering wheels and hoping that your math
42:51
was correct. Just throw their tool on your
42:53
wheel hub and dial in your specs to see if your dream wheel
42:55
clears your coilover and fenders before committing to the
42:58
purchase. Not only can you check wheel
43:00
fill in with their tool, you can use it to check suspension
43:02
clearance as well. This is really great for
43:04
Drifters who are always changing wheel lock and adding angle to
43:07
their setups. Now you can see if those new
43:09
suspension arms or tie rods will clear your wheels at full lock
43:13
before going out and destroying your new wheels.
43:15
Another feature is that you can use two of these tools together
43:18
to measure track with from the wheel center line.
43:21
About 20% of Ram Set's customers purchase 2 tools at once so they
43:25
can measure track width for various wheel and suspension
43:27
setups. I recommend this product to the
43:29
everyday enthusiast and most importantly, shop owners that
43:32
need a way to size wheels for customers so that they know they
43:35
are getting the right specs before ordering a brand new set
43:37
of wheels. To get more info, head on over
43:39
to ramsteadmfg.com. And if you'd like to purchase
43:41
their Wheel Fitment Tool Pro, we are now carrying them in store
43:45
at Faction Motorsports and Faction motorsports.com.
43:48
It's kind of like, I don't know, it's weird.
43:50
It was like that was the first place we went when we got there.
43:53
And that, well, that's probably why you feel the way you do.
43:56
Yeah, it's just, it's just like they're surrounded by these
43:58
crazy cars like I. Mean just just look at it.
44:03
Like, yeah, there's nothing. There was nothing wrong with
44:05
that car in any way. Like there wasn't even anything
44:07
that you would change. Like it was just.
44:10
The only thing the color is not my.
44:13
It's not my color either, but like.
44:15
But it's the execution. Yeah, yeah.
44:18
When the execution is that good, it's it doesn't matter if if you
44:22
like the color or not. Also a weird thing that weekend
44:24
was the non metallic colors. I never thought of that, but
44:30
that's what a lot of these cars are like.
44:31
It's just a regular. What do you call it?
44:33
You call it flat, but it's. That's kind of like on the
44:36
pallet of. Yeah.
44:38
Our team colors. Yeah.
44:39
And then Jimmy's red. Like just that basic red.
44:43
There's something about those. Colors like once you start
44:46
getting into the metallics and the the candies and like the.
44:50
It gets a little crazy. It gets a little, Yeah, it gets
44:53
a little too. Look at me.
44:56
Yeah, I'd rather the parts do the talking.
44:58
Yeah, so to speak. Like that's what I'm thinking
45:00
when I see his car. It's like it's not the color
45:03
that, well, it is, but it's not. It is because it's green and
45:05
everything's green inside, but it's like the it's not the paint
45:09
work really. It's not the metallic, it's not
45:12
any of that. You know the.
45:14
The Fender work is just straight up incredible.
45:18
Oh yeah, rear. Quarterback, like if I were to
45:20
build like for a streetcar, like let's say, because you were like
45:25
saying before, like, oh, like you definitely want to keep that
45:27
car. Now that like you put it
45:28
together, like if I were to keep that car, I would do different,
45:32
different error on it. Really.
45:34
It looks cool, but it's not for me.
45:36
I love that from bumper on that giveaway car.
45:39
That's like my favorite part, I think.
45:41
But yeah, this is. And then I asked him about the
45:44
side markers and I'm like, yo, why'd you cut the side markers?
45:46
He's like, because in Japan they would probably put them there
45:48
because we have them. I was like, OK, he did.
45:50
Reverse Psychology. Yeah, he's in another dimension
45:53
right now of like JDM lore. Like he's like doing shit that
45:57
JDM people would probably do because of USDM car.
46:01
Most people are building, I know what he did like.
46:04
Most people are building golden era drift cars to like simulate
46:08
something. He's building like a 2015 to
46:12
2025 spec Japanese car that's inspired by us.
46:19
Yeah, like, yeah, 2020, 2015, like.
46:22
The USDA market is hot, hot out there like the the quarter, like
46:27
basically everything that we're buying for our cars, they're
46:29
doing the opposite, like the quarter glass, the Speedo, yeah,
46:34
the, the side markers, fucking the, the side markers are, are a
46:39
hot commodity out there. That's crazy dude because I I
46:42
mean I get why he did it. I still wouldn't do it though
46:45
because I don't like side markers.
46:46
He did like a like when you when you like.
46:49
Yeah, literally it was like a fucking what's that movie?
46:54
Fucking not Interstellar. The other one.
46:56
It's like a Inception. It's like a fucking JDM
46:59
Inception. I'm like what?
47:02
Yeah, he's he's living on another another planet right
47:05
now, but. Dude the inside, the fucking
47:08
paint. Like that's what I would hope my
47:11
car to look like on the inside. But his shit was and that car
47:15
was in an accident too. Believe it or not it you can't
47:17
see it in this photo, but like it was bad enough that you can
47:21
see some of it on the inside. Do you did you feel inspired
47:25
after seeing that car or did it make you feel?
47:26
I'm feeling more inspired right now honestly looking at this
47:29
photo because I I was too overwhelmed when I was there.
47:32
That's what I was thinking. Like, yeah.
47:34
But now that I'm looking at it, I'm like, oh wow, like that came
47:38
out really good. And that's the fucking interior.
47:41
Like I got to look at the fucking, the photos of him doing
47:47
this. To get to get paint work like
47:49
that on the inside, you have to do a lot of fucking work.
47:52
Like it needs. There's a lot of prep work.
47:54
I need to digress for a second yeah cuz this really pisses me
47:57
off with the low car community OK?
48:00
Can we? Make the cars level please.
48:02
This is level though, right? Yes, yeah.
48:05
I'm so tired of the I miss when animal cell was low.
48:09
Like kind of people where the car is reverse rake sitting
48:13
reverse rake like my car but dump tucking tire and then you
48:18
have the front sticking up in the air but it's still slammed.
48:21
OK, so. This is perfect.
48:23
I don't know, I don't think I talked to you about this, but
48:26
well, yeah, I since people actually do listen to this
48:28
podcast for what me and Josh are talking about right now.
48:31
If you look at the side of a 240 and you look at the body line
48:35
under the door handle, like the one above the side skirt, that
48:39
should be parallel with the ground.
48:41
Yeah, Yeah. Because that's, that's the
48:43
straight part of the car. So that's what we're talking
48:46
about. I mean, there's a lot of things.
48:50
Like like nothing turns me off more than seeing a car with a
48:54
completely dumped rear like. Yeah.
48:58
Useless Cam. I know what you're talking
49:00
about. I mean, it's most honestly, it's
49:02
most of the cars I see these days are like that.
49:05
They're all reverse rake and I'm like.
49:08
Reverse rake the useless way. Yeah, like not even and.
49:11
I was talking to Jimmy about it too.
49:12
Like we took a break during our podcast and I was, I was like
49:15
talking. I was like, yo dis sometimes
49:18
like we're, we're starting to get a little like.
49:20
Delirious. Out of pocket, like just say
49:22
whatever you want to say. And I was like, sorry I fucking
49:26
if. You had me and Jimmy on a.
49:27
I can't burp. It would be cancelled.
49:30
You and Jimmy on a podcast would be crazy, yeah, but because.
49:33
We're like. Like this.
49:35
I would like that a lot. Actually, that would be that
49:36
would probably be my favorite one.
49:38
Comfortable cat. Yeah, that might be a good idea
49:41
because you'll both be there. But so I was like, yo, I was I
49:45
was having a hard time getting this out.
49:47
I'm going to have a hard time now.
49:48
But I was like, yo, you ever have these people like come up
49:50
to you and the because he has to accept people into the knuckle
49:53
up. Oh.
49:54
My God, the last night is he was hysterical.
49:57
He's the one. You know what I mean?
49:58
Well. No, now he's letting the public
50:00
do it. Oh yeah, Which is so smart.
50:02
He's. Posting it, Yeah, he's posting
50:04
it. And then it's just like a yes or
50:06
no. Like some people are just like
50:07
knowing so much that they're getting blocked off Instagram,
50:11
like it's not allowing you to go back on Instagram like.
50:14
Oh, because it makes a troll a professional troll.
50:16
Yeah, but it's like, no, these cars suck.
50:18
Yeah. So they're just going like next,
50:21
next, next. No, no, no, no, no.
50:23
That's what I was doing. It was like for every like.
50:25
I need to go on there. I didn't see that shit.
50:27
We could probably do the poll right now, yeah.
50:30
Is it? It's up right now.
50:31
Go on, Jimmy. Jimmy, is it?
50:32
Oh, it's a knuckle up. It's finally a knuckle up, yeah.
50:36
But. Let's hate right now.
50:37
I asked him. I'm like, oh, there's my car,
50:40
Malcolm, there's my car. Oh, shit.
50:43
Wait, click that because he's probably got some info right
50:45
there. No, he.
50:48
Doesn't Great info. I've been.
50:51
Trying to find some info on that Z and I.
50:53
I can't really find much. It's a demo car for raise.
50:59
No, I'm not raised oh, Ings or whatever.
51:01
The Ings plus one. Yeah, so on their demo car, I
51:05
didn't tell you this either. When I was looking at those
51:07
wheels, I was sending you that photo.
51:09
On their demo car, I told you it was nineteens or whatever.
51:12
And then I go back like later. I'm like trying to find specs
51:15
and whatnot. I go to the specs thing and it
51:19
goes TE 37 and I'm like, wait, what?
51:23
And then I click, those were the specs for another car they
51:26
built. Someone fucked up.
51:28
Yeah. And I was like, shit.
51:30
Is that the square? One still could be an 18 in the
51:32
front, but I know it's not. Yeah, Click the story, Malcolm.
51:40
Who let the devil emoji? Let the new driver modes begin,
51:45
OK? Oh, we could do it right now
51:47
from faction or whatever we're on.
51:49
Is it my account we could do it? What do?
51:51
We OK. What do you think, Malcolm?
51:54
This is a no. Really I I have to say yes on
51:56
this one because it, I don't see anything that's like really
51:59
there's nothing off yet. Yeah, there's nothing wrong.
52:01
OK, not my cup of tea. Let's see what other people.
52:04
Say, I don't think I could vote. Oh, you can't.
52:06
Maybe I have to follow? Oh.
52:10
Maybe that's interesting. Oh, it's probably because you're
52:11
on the computer, honestly. Oh, maybe yeah, OK.
52:15
Wait, is this an E town? Yeah.
52:19
That's tree. Who is this Tommy Gunn?
52:22
I don't know. I.
52:23
Don't. Know car's cool enough?
52:24
Problem with it? Yeah, it's a yes for me.
52:27
Damn I have to see the back but. It's enough for me.
52:32
I'm good on. That you know what it is.
52:34
Every time you see AZ, it's like, wait, this one doesn't.
52:36
This one's not insulting yet. Let me see a little bit more.
52:39
I just don't. I'm not a fan of those wheels,
52:41
but that's a personal. Yeah, I'm looking at the trunk.
52:46
It's just a stock fucking BRZ regular traffic, but like, where
52:50
do you draw the Yeah, that's. That's where you draw the line.
52:53
OK, so we found the line. We found the line.
52:56
This is what I'm talking about. Yeah, but OK, I mean, that go
53:00
back, Malcolm, that this thing, we need to talk about this.
53:03
So the reason nerds like me and Josh and Jimmy would probably
53:07
say no to this is because what the green fucking neon inside?
53:10
No, look at the fit man. I mean, yeah, but.
53:13
Ass backwards. It's oh, I can't even see the
53:16
rear wheel. That's the first thing I saw.
53:18
I didn't. I didn't even realize that neon.
53:21
I'm looking at for the first thing I see is BMW and I'm
53:23
already no. The first thing I already grab
53:25
gravitate toward is the back arch like wheel and tire.
53:30
Yeah, the first thing I went to. Is then everything else is.
53:33
Is the. Wheel in the front because it's
53:34
fucking poking and it's looks huge but.
53:38
Yeah, to know for me, sorry. Man, I don't know, all this shit
53:40
is about execution I guess. I mean not sick.
53:43
G Corp. Yeah, that car.
53:46
Looks pretty cool. Different arrow, but you have
53:49
some improvement to to do, no? No, I don't even I don't even I.
53:54
Saw that car earlier traffic. But like, oh, it's got the
53:59
Origin kit, I think. I need more info I.
54:03
Was going to say he picked a good photo.
54:05
Like Nope. What?
54:07
What? Nope, no bumper.
54:12
Oh yeah. That's.
54:13
That's a no, no matter what. That one.
54:16
That's a yes no matter what. That didn't even need to apply.
54:18
That's. Yeah.
54:20
Perfect there's I need more info on it.
54:26
I can't do these ones because I would give a lot of people yes,
54:29
because I see that it can, it can evolve pretty fast.
54:37
That's crazy. Yeah, he's a no for me.
54:41
No, but like, it can evolve. You know what I mean?
54:43
Like that one? That's what I'm saying, I think.
54:46
That's why this is good, because like people like me would say
54:48
yes and other people might say no and he'll get a good general
54:51
idea. There's nothing wrong with it,
54:53
but it's it's all like it's personal opinion.
54:57
Yeah, yeah, a lot of this is opinion, but that last one, it
55:01
was not opinion. That was like, I mean, it is at
55:03
the end of the day, but it's fucking not.
55:04
Dude. You got rivets all over the car.
55:06
No one wants to see that shit. You don't, you don't.
55:08
You don't understand the assignment and the yeah, the
55:11
message from from Knuckle. Up exactly there, there is a
55:14
message and an assignment exactly.
55:15
So if you don't match that, then they don't really want you
55:18
there. That's pretty much it, yeah.
55:19
What's the next one? OK.
55:21
And he's got my name. Come on man.
55:25
Why does it look like a face? Headlights.
55:28
It's so crazy dude. It's got teeth, a mouth and
55:31
eyes. No, I actually don't know how I
55:36
feel about this. That's a regular ass car.
55:39
I know, but that's what I mean. Because I'm like the color is
55:42
cool. It's got OK wheels, it's got
55:45
gander doors on it somehow. It's got potential is what I'm
55:49
trying to say. Like it's not insulting me.
55:53
We can't please everyone. I'm sorry man.
55:55
It's a no from Josh. No, sorry.
55:58
What's the next one? Same TikTok ride, right?
56:03
No, thank you. Oh, there it is.
56:05
There's what we're talking about right there.
56:07
When when you see a new car, describe it so the listeners can
56:10
envision it maybe. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.
56:12
Yeah, there are listeners that don't watch if you don't watch
56:15
the video by now. So this car is.
56:18
This is a convertible 350Z. It's convertible 350Z.
56:23
It is completely dumped in the rear and it has air suspension
56:28
in the front. Yeah, mostly because he's
56:29
probably got four wheels sitting on his trunk.
56:33
I don't think. So I mean it's not helping.
56:36
It definitely agitating the situation, but he rides like
56:39
that year. Round.
56:41
But we can, I mean, we can go back to our original
56:42
conversation about ride height because this is what we're
56:44
talking about and a lot of people.
56:46
This can be fixed. This can be fixed.
56:50
Raise the rear, get a small tire in the front and lower the front
56:54
and the car is fixed. Yeah, but like, I don't
56:57
understand, you know, who does this to, I don't want to say
57:01
Alan Kyle does this and pull up his Instagram on another page.
57:03
Malcolm, if you can. I don't think he's guilty, but
57:06
he might be all those kids, you know, those kids that slam their
57:11
cars like there's always a gang of them, like either at RSD or
57:16
Alan Kyle's part of the part of the group.
57:19
That's. It's good, looks OK.
57:21
That's it's, it's level. It's it's good.
57:25
That's still level because it's so low.
57:28
Maybe it has bigger fronts and smaller rears.
57:31
Oh, yeah, that's the problem. There he was.
57:34
He was telling me about that. Yeah, he he has nineteens, but
57:38
he, I don't think he drifts on him all the time.
57:39
Oh my. God, that's terrible.
57:41
I know, like Allen, Allen, you're not drifting.
57:43
Knuckle up, just letting you know.
57:47
But like he hangs out with some of the guys and I'm like, I'm
57:49
looking at the cars and I'm like, dude, just race the rear a
57:53
little bit and they're like, no, I'm going to lower the front.
57:56
I'm like, if you just raise the rear a little, it'll be level
58:00
and then we're good. And you don't have to do
58:02
anything. You don't have to.
58:03
You don't have to lower. I mean that.
58:05
The more important part? Look at the front of your arms
58:08
is good. That's fine.
58:09
This is fine. Like it's too low to me, but
58:12
it's it's even. Yeah, the at the end of the day,
58:15
it's it's all opinion bass. Yeah, I don't know his boy's
58:19
name. One of his friends drifts or
58:21
drives a car. That's like, really?
58:23
Oh, he already fucking knows what I'm talking about.
58:27
Oh, it's not what I don't. Oh, I that's crazy.
58:30
Yeah, I mean, I guess it's kind of what we're talking about, but
58:33
it on an. Extreme.
58:34
It still looks level. Yeah, go to the.
58:38
I don't even know. Yeah, we.
58:41
This isn't really a good example because the car is so low that
58:44
we can't get an idea of if it's even got reverse rake is.
58:48
That your garage? Why is your garage?
58:50
What the fuck? Is it the Front Street garage?
58:56
OK. I was like, wait a minute, I
58:58
know the garage. Yeah, that car, that car in that
59:01
back corner, that S14, that's one of the cars I built.
59:04
Oh yeah, I wish we'd get more examples of what we're talking
59:08
about with the ride height. Damn, that one on the bottom
59:10
right. Actually, that's a good photo.
59:12
Go back now. Go.
59:12
Back with the advance on it. I'm sorry.
59:16
Yeah. It just looks so sick that with
59:21
the color, with the blue wheels, that thing looks kind of sick
59:24
like that. But yeah, I would raise it a
59:27
little bit and then be a lot better.
59:29
I don't know something about the Z, the computer mouse look.
59:32
I actually do like that, but it's going to have that wing if
59:34
you don't have that wing. I think the wing is the only
59:37
thing that's breaking up that. Yeah, that's the only thing that
59:40
saves the way that car looks to me.
59:43
Really honestly, like is that wing?
59:46
I don't know why. Same thing with a 180.
59:47
To me though, like if a 180 doesn't have a wing I don't like
59:50
it do. You.
59:52
Yeah, I kind of feel the same way, like.
59:54
You like AD Max Wing? Not really I'd I mean it sounds
59:59
weird to say, but I don't like the.
1:00:03
Kansai look so much on on the way for some reason.
1:00:07
Yeah, the furthest I think I'd get for like that Kansai
1:00:11
aggressive look is the car modify wonder.
1:00:14
Yeah. Wait, what is that?
1:00:16
Oh, but that's like a Type X wing.
1:00:19
But I'm saying like all together like that that setup.
1:00:23
OK, I like the car. Modify once you get the.
1:00:25
Guy's Instagram but you've definitely seen it's on 57
1:00:29
extremes. Got like TDO 6 kit thread.
1:00:33
And what wing does it have on it?
1:00:35
It has the. It's the full car modify wonder.
1:00:40
Yeah, I'd have to see it. But yeah, I usually don't like
1:00:42
those cars. Like I usually don't like 180
1:00:44
versions of those. Cars I just don't like the
1:00:46
unless it's got type 3 look on it too much.
1:00:50
Unless it's kind of GT wing and it really I don't know something
1:00:53
about GT wings. I feel like if you got AGT wing
1:00:55
you can start get away with shit. 180 it's I don't, I feel
1:00:59
like the formula is so simple and I, I just, I don't know, I
1:01:03
just think it's crazy that no one's like.
1:01:05
They try to change everything. Yeah, I mean, like look at
1:01:09
Kaguchi's wife's car, like the silver one with the LMGT fours.
1:01:13
Can we find that easily? Probably.
1:01:16
I bet if you type in Kaguchi power 180SX it'll pop up.
1:01:23
Oh, that. To the yeah, that one.
1:01:27
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got big flared fenders.
1:01:31
Reminds me of Dave's car from. Yeah, OK, Factory, Malcolm, the
1:01:35
map. Oh, you had it.
1:01:36
Click two over on the right. There you go.
1:01:41
Yeah, but I mean, this is this you could.
1:01:43
Kind of say I would St. and and drift that.
1:01:47
You could kind of say that's like a type 3 over Fender
1:01:50
though. Yes, but what I do like about it
1:01:55
is that it's space off the car and it gives it like that.
1:01:57
Yeah, yeah, GT look, it doesn't have like the the bubble flare.
1:02:01
So I never liked that style. I don't like.
1:02:07
It's fine if. In a perfect world, it's.
1:02:09
Good for you for. The money, I would have one of
1:02:11
those on deck. OK.
1:02:13
So you, you, you're definitely into that.
1:02:15
Then I like flip that. Fuck over.
1:02:18
Yeah, I don't know. Some about 180 is like they need
1:02:20
to be low, they need I don't know.
1:02:22
But then again, I'm thinking about how my car was and I'm
1:02:24
like it's kind of the same thing just with BN sports.
1:02:26
Well, no and. You got different fenders on it.
1:02:28
Yeah, the fenders are completely different.
1:02:30
Yeah, it's when you get, when you do the fenders and you start
1:02:32
getting meaty tires and then the look starts changing pretty
1:02:35
drastically. I mean, there's that, there's
1:02:37
that BN one. That's Malcolm.
1:02:40
Click right next to. The original left.
1:02:43
Left down. Yeah, this this type 4 be in
1:02:48
sports. Yeah, that looks like.
1:02:51
But it's missing the wing. It's just the fenders I guess.
1:02:54
The fenders really do make it look.
1:02:56
It's something about type 3 fenders on a 180.
1:02:58
Those are Kaguchi power. I know, but I'm thinking why
1:03:01
don't I like more cars like that?
1:03:04
And that's because they're all running type threes.
1:03:05
Maybe like no one's really running Kaguchi power here.
1:03:09
Yeah, Malcolm, click down in the right corner, the black one.
1:03:13
Yeah. Like.
1:03:18
I mean, I like the wing. Come on man.
1:03:20
I like the wing. I want to go commit crime when I
1:03:24
see something like that. Yeah, I don't know though.
1:03:29
Click the red one. Crime.
1:03:34
Yeah, once there's once there's vinyl on it, I feel a little bit
1:03:37
better like a livery. I'm like, OK, because now it
1:03:40
feels more like it should be doing some fucking Mahon shit or
1:03:44
something, but that that's still is very calm.
1:03:47
Like it's the height and everything.
1:03:49
Like it seems like it could be a streetcar.
1:03:51
Like I don't know how to explain it.
1:03:53
It it looks like it's too low is what I'm trying to say.
1:03:56
Like it looks like it's still it's still it's still low enough
1:04:00
to where I think I could like drive it on the on the street
1:04:02
and it would look cool to me because once a car gets over a
1:04:04
certain height, I'm like, I don't even want to this is just
1:04:07
a track car with it. Yeah, it's just a track car.
1:04:09
Like I'm not driving this thing on the street, which is the
1:04:11
literally ass backwards. But unless the car is low, I
1:04:15
don't really want to drive it really.
1:04:17
And like drive around and stunt with a car that's high like.
1:04:21
It's there's like a full experience, I think that comes
1:04:24
with a Street car, yeah. You.
1:04:28
Want to be proud of the car that you put together?
1:04:31
You want to enjoy looking at it, and when you enjoy looking at
1:04:34
it, I think it gives you an excuse to go drive it.
1:04:38
Yeah, and enjoy it. But the problem is when you make
1:04:40
it a little bit too impractical, then you don't really want to
1:04:43
drive it. Which is what the cars we were
1:04:45
just looking at, yeah. Yeah, but.
1:04:47
Which is also what we did when we were young.
1:04:49
Yeah, it's, you know, it's, it's kind of lack of a develop
1:04:54
undeveloped frontal lobe, but. Yeah.
1:04:57
We we've been there. And I tell them too, like I
1:05:01
Malcolm, who is that? He's been here before.
1:05:03
I don't know his name, but I. Ripped my sway bar off in the
1:05:05
city and it's got hooked under my car and I had to take my
1:05:08
shoelaces off and use that as sway bar end links on my coil
1:05:13
over string to keep it up. I remember your fucking sway bar
1:05:17
bent, flipped up and hit the oil pan, didn't it?
1:05:20
Yeah, yeah. No many motors I've wiped out
1:05:22
from being impractical. Yeah.
1:05:24
Practically low, I remember that.
1:05:27
You're preaching to the choir. And I was in the suburbs, so I
1:05:29
never had any of those problems. Yeah, I was breaking the motor
1:05:32
and I literally broke it. Yeah, you guys are blowing up
1:05:35
motors from being low and I'm just driving around like I don't
1:05:37
know what they're doing wrong, but.
1:05:40
They have a a skewed white privilege literally take on.
1:05:44
I was like, I don't know, I was like, I never fucked an oil pan
1:05:47
up. I mean, but maybe those kids too
1:05:50
though it's probably nice where they.
1:05:51
Yeah, but obviously the cars are still too low.
1:05:55
Like there's like a line, There's just a line where I
1:05:58
you're where you draw the line is different than me, but like.
1:06:03
No, we're, we're on, we're on the same page, but on a
1:06:09
streetcar, on a streetcar level, we're pretty, we're pretty In
1:06:13
Sync, I think. Like where my car was before it
1:06:16
stopped drifting. That's that's like your ideal,
1:06:20
like multi functional. Yeah, because I was wrong with
1:06:23
that. I was always like.
1:06:24
If you could fit your fucking shoe on his side skirt.
1:06:27
Remember we mocked up my CR cars on your car and it fit fine at
1:06:30
2:45 in the front, 265 in the rear and you fit it and it still
1:06:33
looks sick. Yeah, but you were just like, I
1:06:35
don't know, man, like, but then you fucking blew the motor up
1:06:39
anyway. You know that.
1:06:40
I still have that photo somewhere and it looked so good.
1:06:43
But the front wasn't gonna work with the metal fenders.
1:06:45
That was the problem. You just needed a 235.
1:06:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But I I try to tell some of these dudes like
1:06:53
Malcolm, who's the kid with the red Z?
1:06:56
No, Red. You probably know him.
1:06:58
He's been here before. I I know him, but I don't know
1:07:00
his name. I forgot Red.
1:07:03
Lois. Fuck Coop.
1:07:06
Friends with Alan or Kyle, whatever his fucking name is.
1:07:09
Why is he do that? Why does he have two fucking
1:07:13
names? This is it.
1:07:14
I'm. Pretty sure.
1:07:15
Yeah, it is it. OK, Perfect example of what me
1:07:18
and Josh are talking about. No offense, because the car is
1:07:22
cool. Every time I see that the track
1:07:24
is always like my favorite car to go look at.
1:07:26
But the rear? It's got all the right pieces.
1:07:29
The rear is too low, the car doesn't sit, it doesn't look the
1:07:34
way you want it to look when you're looking at it from the
1:07:35
side because the front can't go that low.
1:07:39
The front is actually high now. Yeah.
1:07:42
So like I, I, every time I see them, I'm like, yo, why don't
1:07:45
you just raise the rear a little bit?
1:07:47
But you know what it is? They want to tuck rim.
1:07:49
Just like remember how I wanted to tuck rim when we were fucking
1:07:51
drifting? I was like I want, I want my
1:07:53
here a perfect, perfect photo like.
1:07:57
Like Malcolm drag, go to the top of the quarter panel and just
1:08:01
drag it symmetrically across the front.
1:08:04
Nope, down. Or like on the back wheel right
1:08:08
there and go all the way across. Well, that might be already
1:08:11
moved, but yeah, no, it's, it's too low in the back.
1:08:17
It doesn't look right. It looks it looks broken, which
1:08:20
we don't really want. Yeah, it looks like he broke a
1:08:23
fucking upper arm. So what I would do is I would
1:08:26
just and there's nothing wrong with the rear like there's
1:08:28
nothing. Wrong with the car.
1:08:29
Oh no, I do want to know what size tire he's got in the front
1:08:33
though, because it it's. Just probably got like a 21540.
1:08:39
I would. I mean, if it was me, I'd get a
1:08:40
smaller wheel for the front because it's poking too much you
1:08:44
got. To extend the control arms.
1:08:46
Yeah, like I would change all that because it's, it doesn't,
1:08:49
it looks kind of weird like that.
1:08:51
But yeah, dude, I love this. I love seeing this car, the
1:08:54
track, because I'm always like, you know, there's always one
1:08:57
person that's trying to do some crazy shit and then everyone
1:08:59
else got that. Looks normal.
1:09:02
Yeah, but they always want to tuck rim, dude.
1:09:05
And I'm like, if you're going to tuck rim, you're the front of
1:09:08
your car has to be like in the ground.
1:09:12
Like Blood Runner? Yeah, I love that red that that
1:09:14
first photo or that second. The last photo you just went to
1:09:17
Malcolm that that photo was good.
1:09:18
No, the the other one that. That color was so.
1:09:22
Good, it's. Definitely a nice car.
1:09:24
There's nothing wrong with the car other than.
1:09:27
The height. Something about the height is
1:09:29
just bothering me but I I love seeing this car.
1:09:31
What bump? Like Matt and sports?
1:09:33
I thought so. Like matching rears?
1:09:37
I. Know dude and level.
1:09:39
Yeah, those wheels in the back would be sick.
1:09:42
The wing is cool, everything. But yeah, I don't know.
1:09:45
Just to bring up another example.
1:09:49
All right, go back to the fucking roast.
1:09:52
Yeah, so the Z is the Z is a good example of what?
1:09:54
No. Why?
1:09:57
Just the most bland thing I've ever seen.
1:10:00
But why? It's got 57 CRS which might as
1:10:05
well be XX Rs. You could just buy those.
1:10:08
Those show up in a couple hours. That's not the wheel I was
1:10:10
looking at, right? Milk.
1:10:13
No, I don't think so. It might have been.
1:10:17
I think definitely super doof. Is it?
1:10:21
Yeah, that's definitely not D. Max Oh, I didn't think it was D.
1:10:25
Max I thought it was something else, but I don't know the name.
1:10:28
Oh, GK Tech? Yeah, never mind.
1:10:31
All right. I see next potential you're in.
1:10:39
Oh, OK, I'll. Give it to you, I.
1:10:41
Was wondering when you're going to let FRS in?
1:10:45
No. Why though?
1:10:50
It's a 2 tone. It's opinion based you're going
1:10:52
to pin. Yeah, this is opinion based.
1:10:53
That's why I'm I'm trying to stop you because I'm like, OK,
1:10:56
you got to explain yourself then if you're going to opinion based
1:10:58
because. 22 tone on aftermarket arrow.
1:11:02
Big no no. None of the arrow matches.
1:11:06
There's no. Rear bumper.
1:11:08
There's no rear bumper. I mean, whatever, I'll give him
1:11:12
benefit of the doubt. There's something on there.
1:11:15
The rear Fender just doesn't look cohesive with the front.
1:11:22
I don't. It's not for me.
1:11:26
Yeah. That's why.
1:11:28
That's why there's a poll. Yeah, the poll.
1:11:31
Everything is yes and no. The polls could let the public
1:11:35
give you a general. Go back to the last one,
1:11:36
Malcolm. This will take all night, by the
1:11:38
way. So we're not going to do this
1:11:38
whole time, but that body kit is fucking sick.
1:11:40
So that's. Streamline, Malcolm, you think?
1:11:45
Or is that? No, that's drift.
1:11:46
Driftline. Yeah, it's Driftline.
1:11:49
I I like these origin body kits or the Fr s s I like.
1:11:52
The colour. The colour's cool.
1:11:54
It's cohesive, it's got matching wheels.
1:11:56
It's nice photo, yeah. Yeah, I don't know, I like Fr s
1:12:00
s. They're cool.
1:12:02
I like them. That's as good as a few, but.
1:12:04
Yeah. It's like new cars.
1:12:07
I've driven a few, not sold on it but.
1:12:10
Yeah. For you, it's good.
1:12:12
All right, keep going. Let's.
1:12:13
Let's we can move through this a.
1:12:14
Little Yeah, let's move through. No, I can't really see anything.
1:12:18
It's all broken. Yeah.
1:12:20
Yeah, you're good. It's gotta go, wheels.
1:12:21
You're good. It's got no rear wing, so I
1:12:25
guess Jimmy's fine with it. Yeah, we'll, we'll give you a
1:12:29
pass. It's not.
1:12:30
Yeah, If you got a decent body Cam, one of those cars, you you
1:12:32
probably make it. Is that a Mustang?
1:12:34
Yep, bye. That looks like a car I would
1:12:40
build in Forza 4 like 100%. That might be a Forza 4 photo.
1:12:44
Like, like, 100%, I have a car like that.
1:12:46
Like that's it. Because you can't, you know, you
1:12:49
can't slam them in the game, but you can make them kind of low,
1:12:52
yeah. The car's not wrong, but it
1:12:54
needs work. That one's good.
1:12:55
I'm surprised Jimmy even put this up because he said any
1:12:57
Corolla is getting in no matter what.
1:12:59
Like any a 86. What in the Nope you can't
1:13:05
imagine it had a different front bumper.
1:13:09
You see now you got to stop. Toyota fucked that bumper up so
1:13:14
bad. Because it's like a stock like
1:13:15
S15 but in 2026. Exactly.
1:13:17
But like they fucked the front end of those cars up with that
1:13:20
with that facelift. So now it's just like.
1:13:23
And immediately you're like, no, I'm.
1:13:24
Only going to give it a pass because it's so it's brand new.
1:13:27
Exactly like that. He's got, he's got potential.
1:13:30
He's got to get rid of that fucking bumper.
1:13:34
Nope. It's just a stock BMWI.
1:13:37
Love that shit. It's hard when you see AZ dude.
1:13:45
The first thought is no, and then you have to build your way
1:13:48
up from that. So I'm just trying not to be
1:13:51
offensive, but this just it's an opinion base, it's not for me.
1:13:56
I don't know. I got to see it from another
1:13:57
angle, but usually with that wing.
1:13:59
I don't know which one that is, but that I think that's the.
1:14:03
I just keep gravitating toward the wheels.
1:14:06
You know what it is I'm noticing that me I go right for the rear
1:14:09
end and you go for the wheels immediately.
1:14:13
I feel like the wheels dictates the rest of the taste it sets
1:14:17
the tone for. The rest, yeah, you're not wrong
1:14:19
because you could see that like it's sitting higher.
1:14:21
If they make poor choices in wheels, they make poor choices
1:14:24
elsewhere. Oh OK, should have started with
1:14:32
the interior. No comment.
1:14:35
The wing is the one from Fast and Furious.
1:14:37
Vailside, Probably. Vailside, Probably.
1:14:39
Yeah. Yeah, obviously a replica, but.
1:14:44
No comment. Anytime I see a hydro it's just
1:14:46
a no for me. I'm just thinking of my shoe
1:14:49
head group chat but everyone else has been thinking when they
1:14:53
see this I'm good. First comment, my turn with the
1:14:55
group car. Wait, what?
1:14:57
This is the group car? Yeah, it's AZ.
1:15:02
Dude, it's not easy. I'm going to tell you right now,
1:15:05
it's not easy to impress fucking people with AZ that are really
1:15:10
into like drifting culture and shit like we are.
1:15:12
It's not easy, it's hard. Why does that look like the car
1:15:16
that fucking Jimmy just bought? No, he got a 110.
1:15:21
I don't know shit about JZX. They all look the same to me.
1:15:23
Yeah. What?
1:15:26
No. Why is it shaking?
1:15:29
Why does the bash bar look like that?
1:15:31
Yeah man, we got to stop with those bash bars, dude.
1:15:36
It's ruining everything. It's.
1:15:37
Got the mermaid man intercooler. So this is like a good example.
1:15:41
Like, it sucks that we have to roast these people, but
1:15:43
whatever, I guess because that's what we're doing.
1:15:45
Everyone else is doing it. Yeah.
1:15:46
I mean, they applied, right? So yeah.
1:15:49
I mean, this is just a great example of like, you just don't
1:15:52
get it. And this is the question I asked
1:15:55
you. I was like, yo, this is how we
1:15:57
started this whole conversation. I was like, yo, don't you?
1:16:01
Isn't it kind of a tiring? Like someone will come up to
1:16:04
you, start talking to you about their car and this and that and
1:16:07
the back of your head, you just know that they just don't
1:16:10
fucking get it. So this whole entire
1:16:12
conversation is pointless. That's probably one of the
1:16:16
meaner things I've ever said, at least in my head.
1:16:19
But that's exactly how I feel like, you know, you know what
1:16:23
I'm talking about. You'll be talking, you know, I
1:16:25
mean, someone come up I. Get that all the time yes,
1:16:26
people are like, oh like what do you think about like this or
1:16:29
that or whatever like. Or they come up to you at the
1:16:31
track and they and they're showing you their car.
1:16:33
You also got to remember, too, that, like, not everyone can be
1:16:37
as locked in, like, as autistic as like we are.
1:16:41
Yeah. Like at the end of the day, a
1:16:43
car like that, that guy is showing up to every single
1:16:47
event. He's keeping the track open for
1:16:51
people like us that. But it's just like he doesn't he
1:16:55
he his way of doing shit is not the way that a large group
1:17:02
inside the drift community likes it done.
1:17:05
And those people are the people that are going to knuckle up.
1:17:07
So like. There's nothing wrong with this,
1:17:11
it's just wrong that you're applying for.
1:17:13
That exactly, yeah. And I think a lot of people need
1:17:17
to understand that with, but I guess knuckle up is that it's
1:17:20
not forever. There's drift events all over
1:17:23
the country. Like you can go drift wherever
1:17:25
you want. And they got a lot near Houston
1:17:27
too, so there's other places they go but like.
1:17:30
This person is probably looking for another Ave. where they want
1:17:34
to experience another track but. I'll tell you what, I.
1:17:37
Think. It yeah, I was going to say I'll
1:17:39
tell you what I think they think they think their car is the
1:17:41
hottest shit and they'll they'll get into that group and it'll be
1:17:45
just like the other cars and that's what I'm talking about
1:17:48
like there's that thing where like they don't have any idea
1:17:54
it's the weirdest thing to me because I'm like.
1:17:56
Clueless. Like take this car and take
1:18:00
fucking Kevin's car from essence and put them next to each other
1:18:04
and tell me they're the same thing.
1:18:06
Like that's what I want to do to these people, but like I don't
1:18:10
understand. Like it's just weird to me.
1:18:11
It's. This is not even remotely like
1:18:14
applicable. Yeah, it's a totally different
1:18:16
thing. And like, I guess there's just
1:18:18
some people just don't see it and obviously whatever dude,
1:18:22
like go drip. No, I don't care if I don't care
1:18:25
what your car looks like, but fine.
1:18:27
But like, I'm just trying to get across the point that like me
1:18:31
and you, in a conversation about drifting, are not going to
1:18:33
really understand each other, not going to mesh.
1:18:35
Yeah, like, I I don't because I care more about how it looks.
1:18:42
But see, that's the thing. He probably does too, but he
1:18:44
thinks that. That's like a whole different,
1:18:47
that's the problem conversation that's.
1:18:49
Weird, yeah. Hanging out with Logan on a
1:18:51
different map. Yeah, yeah, dude, it's, it's
1:18:55
it's just strange. I don't know.
1:18:56
It's a weird conversation to have because people will come up
1:18:59
to you and they'll be like, yo, dude, yeah, man, that's how my
1:19:02
car's going to look. Yeah, I'm going to do that one
1:19:04
day. And you're like, in your head,
1:19:05
you're like, no, you're not ever.
1:19:07
You can't execute this. Like, I'm not even talking about
1:19:10
someone's talking about my car. I'm talking like you are in a
1:19:13
meet, you see like Kevin's car and then you see this other
1:19:19
dude's car that looked like that or something and he's talking to
1:19:21
you about how. Not that there's like a
1:19:23
hierarchy, but there's like a different level of thinking.
1:19:26
Yeah, like that dude could be a pro drifter, I don't fucking
1:19:29
know. You know what I mean?
1:19:30
Drives great. Yeah, and I also don't give a
1:19:33
shit. That's what I'm getting at.
1:19:35
But so, like, I don't, it's just a hard thing.
1:19:39
I know people understand what I'm saying.
1:19:40
But it's like, he'll be like, yo, yeah, I'm gonna make my car
1:19:44
like that one day. Yeah, yeah.
1:19:45
I've been waiting to do that. And I'm like, waiting.
1:19:48
It's been 10 years. You ain't doing shit like that.
1:19:50
It's just gonna look like a different version of what you
1:19:52
got now. That's.
1:19:52
Kind of how I feel when you talk to me about your interior.
1:19:55
That's fine, fair enough, but you know what I mean.

We are super excited to be working with Wrecked Magazine.
1:20:53
Wrecked has been capturing the best moments in Drifting since
1:20:55
the mid 2000s. After a long hiatus, they have
1:20:58
recently been brought back from the dead with the best people in
1:21:01
the industry leading the charge. The first couple issues have
1:21:04
been nothing but amazing and after speaking with these guys I
1:21:07
can tell you it's only going to get better.
1:21:08
Now I won't lie, a print magazine being brought back to
1:21:11
life in 2026 is pretty risky move.
1:21:14
It's a dying industry with video content and social media
1:21:17
flooding the market. But nothing beats the nostalgic
1:21:19
feeling of print. It's always been the best way to
1:21:22
get a glimpse into the automotive scene that you're
1:21:23
interested in. Automotive magazines were the
1:21:26
reason some of us even got into cars.
1:21:28
To this day I still have all my magazines from high school and
1:21:30
it's so cool to be able to go back to see how the culture was
1:21:33
during that specific time. And to have AUS based magazine
1:21:36
that's just focused on drifting is unreal.
1:21:39
They have tons of information in the first two issues that I've
1:21:41
been reading through. Everything from event coverage,
1:21:44
specific vehicle articles, driver profiles, shop tours,
1:21:48
much more. Even the ads are cool.
1:21:50
For more info or if you are looking to subscribe, head on
1:21:53
over to wreckedmagazine.com They got a bunch of other cool stuff
1:21:56
on there as well. We are in the middle of trying
1:21:58
to get some of these to sell here at the shop, so hopefully
1:22:00
in the next few months we have them here to at least check out
1:22:03
or if you want to purchase them, like, I don't know, I'll never
1:22:08
be able to get this thought out like in a conclusive way.
1:22:11
It's not wrong, just wrong for that's kind.
1:22:14
Of cool. You're in, Yeah.
1:22:16
I don't even like those cars, but you're in the.
1:22:18
Front tire is too big and it's poking out too much but I don't
1:22:21
care because the color is cool and it's just looks cool.
1:22:25
It it if it's. Yeah.
1:22:27
That does not fit, yeah. That's like some Connor Croak
1:22:30
shit. I'm going to tell him you said
1:22:33
that he can he pull his motor out.
1:22:36
Oh, I saw that, Yeah. I didn't know AI could do that.
1:22:44
Damn, I don't know. It's bland but it's the colour
1:22:49
and opinion. Yeah, just look at the way this
1:22:51
car is designed though. Like not not the owner.
1:22:53
Look at the look how tall the fat is of these cars.
1:22:57
Like I mean the back end, it's so fat and tall.
1:23:00
I like. Them.
1:23:01
I there's something about these cars that I I can't get around.
1:23:03
I don't know. I don't like them that much.
1:23:06
I don't hate them, but like look at how aggressive the rake is in
1:23:11
the in the design like look at where he is and then look at the
1:23:15
rear glass. No, look this.
1:23:18
It kind of has like that. Like how high that is and how
1:23:22
low this is. Like that natural rake like you
1:23:26
see. I think it's level, I just think
1:23:28
it's the angle. Well, you see that this is the
1:23:30
bottom of the doors, right? And then look how high this is
1:23:34
and how. Low, this is.
1:23:36
Yeah, I see it. That's what I mean by like that.
1:23:38
That's the natural like rake in the design of the car, which a
1:23:41
lot of cars have, but then like. I mean, back to what you were
1:23:46
saying before, I mean, there's not much you can do with these.
1:23:49
And yes, he did it and it looks it's clean, it's drifting and.
1:23:55
Yeah. If it's the mole, it's it'll fit
1:23:59
in the parking lot. Car is car.
1:24:00
Yep, car is made of car. Now who's picking the photos?
1:24:06
Is it Jimmy? I don't know.
1:24:09
That's a question for Jimmy because.
1:24:11
This feels kind of targeted, like if he's Logan Billings,
1:24:16
he's a customer of ours, right? Yeah.
1:24:18
OK. Watch what you say here.
1:24:22
I mean, he's got a front bumper on.
1:24:24
If he had a front bumper on, it'd be a different
1:24:26
conversation. But Josh is looking right at
1:24:27
your wheel fitment and you got a gap in the front.
1:24:30
So. Right.
1:24:31
Am I right? Yep.
1:24:33
All right. That's what I was thinking.
1:24:34
He's come here before Malcolm. Yeah.
1:24:36
Yeah, he's, he came here. Oh, that dude's awesome.
1:24:38
Yeah, he's definitely. He definitely.
1:24:40
Can we click on it and see more photos?
1:24:42
I want to give it a a good assessment.
1:24:47
This is a hello. Nope.
1:24:49
He said Nope. You got to stop doing that, man.
1:24:53
The the euro straggling. You know, he's got this guy's
1:24:56
got money. I don't like the euro
1:24:58
stragglings either man. I don't know why people are so
1:25:01
obsessed with those things. He's got money.
1:25:04
But go back to that photo where Josh.
1:25:05
He said he wanted to lower his car today.
1:25:10
All right. What bumper is that?
1:25:11
Is that a that's an origin bumper, right, OK.
1:25:14
That Origin bumper is that Origin bumper.
1:25:18
That kit doesn't go well with those over fenders.
1:25:21
That's the main problem here. That's that Wing doesn't go with
1:25:25
anything. Yeah, well, that's, that's an
1:25:27
opinion thing, I guess, because people actually like that.
1:25:29
I I don't know. Wrong.
1:25:30
People why but I. Thought he was going to message
1:25:34
him like yo. Imagine.
1:25:37
No. He's cool though.
1:25:38
He's a cool dude. This is a great example of like
1:25:40
see, but I like that photo because that looks.
1:25:43
Like a bumper on. Bro, that photo right there,
1:25:45
that looks like a car you'd see it.
1:25:46
Maybe not the wheels, but that looks like a car you'd see at E
1:25:48
town like 2011, you know what I mean?
1:25:49
Like a car that's broken with a aggressive style kit.
1:25:54
The pop UPS factory shirt. Look at that and you're roasting
1:26:01
him on. No, he's a cool guy.
1:26:04
It's just that rear bumper. It doesn't go.
1:26:06
It's not a big body kit and the wheels are huge.
1:26:11
Yeah, but the conversation, like you said before, you can only
1:26:13
explain so much the. Kind of, yeah, it is kind of
1:26:17
that conversation. And you also got to think like
1:26:20
not everyone's buying a body kit.
1:26:23
You know all four pieces. Some people are on marketplace
1:26:27
and getting one piece and then. Go to the next.
1:26:30
One, they'll think something else matches.
1:26:34
Immediately look at you. What do you want me to say?
1:26:37
Go on, tell how you feel. I mean a little.
1:26:41
A little chode. That's how I feel when I see
1:26:45
these cars short. The reaction I'm having is like
1:26:49
a genuine reaction, like I don't know how to respond to some like
1:26:53
it doesn't. I can't even.
1:26:54
Do anything for me? I can't, I can't respond to any
1:26:56
BMW because if right off the bat I'm like, oh, it's German, I
1:26:59
don't like it. He probably drifts good he.
1:27:02
Probably. Probably the car, probably not
1:27:04
damaged, I don't know, like it's not for me.
1:27:08
I'm not interested. Now, but you can get into a
1:27:10
knuckle up with a German car, right?
1:27:12
Yeah, yeah. So.
1:27:14
I'm hopefully we find one that's in here that I'm like, oh cool,
1:27:17
like. I always, I just kept saying to
1:27:19
Jimmy, I'm like, God bless you man, because I don't know how
1:27:21
you do that shit. I was like, I don't know how you
1:27:23
deal with this shit. The amount of crazy shit in his
1:27:26
inbox must be like. Oh, and if he says no?
1:27:29
Yeah, like, I don't, I don't know.
1:27:32
I was like, dude, I would never be able to do that shit, but he
1:27:36
does it. So I don't know which one we're
1:27:37
looking at here, but no to both. Agreed.
1:27:44
I don't know what. I don't even know what that is.
1:27:45
That's a J ZX100. It is shows.
1:27:49
Goes back to what you're you're saying they all look the same.
1:27:51
Yeah, dude, like I can't. It's fine, you're in BE.
1:27:56
Careful what you say right now. Yeah, someone might get
1:27:59
offended. That looks just like Nick's car.
1:28:04
Just needs different wheels so. Why does the GK Tech mirror look
1:28:08
like it's finally going the opposite direction than they
1:28:11
usually do? Like downward?
1:28:14
Yeah, it's weird. Probably put the left side on
1:28:18
the right side. Yeah, I I think different
1:28:23
wheels. OK, this is a great example of
1:28:24
you just don't get it, do you? That's perfect that this is
1:28:28
where we should end this. S15 the wrong way.
1:28:31
Yeah, this is right. I mean.
1:28:34
Well, it's in the banner. Yeah, but like the bash.
1:28:39
But what? This is why I say God bless the
1:28:44
Jimmy, because I can't do that shit.
1:28:45
I can't be like, oh, let me go. Let me tell you how your car is
1:28:48
not going to be at this event. Let me tell you why you.
1:28:51
Don't even got to say anything. They should.
1:28:53
Just be quiet. Well, OK, Josh, this is a good
1:28:55
one for you. Not a fan of the fitment but I
1:29:00
mean it's cohesive for the most part it's got.
1:29:04
Do you think the rearsing? Kit.
1:29:05
Yes. Yo, here's the thing though, I
1:29:07
I've seen your car before and told you the same thing.
1:29:09
I'm like, the rear's too low and you're like, no.
1:29:12
Definitely not but. It definitely you've given me
1:29:16
these vibes before. Height wise not.
1:29:18
I've been told in the front, but it's like a functional.
1:29:23
It's a. Functional so.
1:29:24
So when when it's that aspect, it's fine.
1:29:28
To me, yeah. OK, All right.
1:29:30
I'm just making sure we're being hypocritical right now.
1:29:33
I mean that. So when it's low, it's a
1:29:35
different story. Cuz it's yeah, cuz it's useless
1:29:37
and it looks bad. At least, Yeah, there's a little
1:29:40
intent with this. OK.
1:29:42
But yeah, he gets past that is sick.
1:29:46
It looks sick, Yeah. Nope.
1:29:50
Total opposite. Nope.
1:29:53
Nope. Damn.
1:29:57
I'm just going to say no and not give you a reason.
1:29:59
Why, Malcolm, why are you laughing?
1:30:01
In the back, it's just something in my throat.
1:30:07
No, I'll give that guy a pass. I'll give that guy a pass.
1:30:10
And it went against one of your things.
1:30:12
It's 2 tone and it's a body kit. But it's like a OEM plus kind of
1:30:16
arrow. Kind of, yeah.
1:30:17
The front, though, What is that anyway?
1:30:19
It's like a vertex. That's like a vertex style, kind
1:30:22
of. That's what Chris wants to do,
1:30:24
by the way. But he doesn't want small
1:30:25
wheels. Oh he doesn't have small wheels?
1:30:28
I can't tell. It could be a 16 but I think.
1:30:30
It's so he would look like that. Yeah, he wants to.
1:30:33
He wants to pull something off like that.
1:30:35
He just doesn't know what kit to get yet.
1:30:37
He's like, well. It's got to be something that's
1:30:39
boxy in in that that realm. Yeah, I think he wanted to try.
1:30:44
He wanted to try M sports. No vertex.
1:30:48
Vertex, yeah. That's like OEM plus M is that?
1:30:51
Vertex. That's probably.
1:30:52
He probably knows his. Dude, he looks like Vertex.
1:30:53
Yeah, click it. He probably showed us his car
1:30:56
before. I see it right in the bottom.
1:31:05
It is hard to pull this off because the the problem is going
1:31:09
to be the front bumper. It's not a car for me, but it's
1:31:13
the car I wouldn't be annoyed looking at.
1:31:16
Right there where the where the line ends in the front and then
1:31:19
you just have the 2 tone on the front bumper.
1:31:21
That's yeah, that's hard to. It's hard to pull off, but like
1:31:25
I said, I'm not. I'm not mad about it.
1:31:27
Yeah. Yeah, that is really hard to
1:31:30
pull off. Chris just doesn't want to get
1:31:32
rid of the 2 tone. That's why.
1:31:33
All right, all right. Let's do like a couple more.
1:31:38
It's. This is addicting though.
1:31:43
Not into the neon and that stuff.
1:31:45
But I'm into the body kit. Yeah, the body kit is good.
1:31:49
It's got good ride height. I would love if Miata owners
1:31:51
never put those headlights in their car again.
1:31:54
The googly eye. Yeah, like we're don't do that.
1:31:58
It's not fun. You're us.
1:32:02
Yeah, you're in. That's cool.
1:32:05
That's a shoe. That is regular traffic.
1:32:08
That is a shoe. Nope, he's got the sticker and
1:32:14
everything. Just confused, not my cup of
1:32:19
tea, but it's. Fits the That thing's kind of
1:32:21
cool. I think I'm trying to look at
1:32:24
the wing. Yeah, that thing's kind of cool
1:32:26
looking and I definitely hate that body kit.
1:32:29
That's what I'm saying, it fits the mold.
1:32:31
Yeah, it needs a wing. It needed the wing, yeah, and.
1:32:40
It needs another paint job, but that's besides the point.
1:32:43
Yeah, dude, with the. Wing it's doing the the thing we
1:32:46
were talking about. Oh, with what?
1:32:47
The height? Yep.
1:32:48
Well, it's mostly because he's got overs on the rear and it's
1:32:50
sunk too, so now it's. Sunk overs in the front.
1:32:53
Oh, not the rivets. I don't hate it, it can be saved
1:33:00
it. Can be saved.
1:33:01
Yeah, but it's getting worse. It was good when it was the
1:33:06
original colour. Never mind.
1:33:14
Wait, that was the original? Oh my God.
1:33:16
Damn. And we were just.
1:33:18
Talking how? This is a good example this.
1:33:20
Colour is. Yeah, the colour is cool.
1:33:24
You see the height situation. I'm trying to figure out if he's
1:33:27
got what is what, the smaller in the back and bigger in the
1:33:31
front. Yeah, people are trying to
1:33:33
figure that out. That means something's not
1:33:34
right. All right, Malcolm, you don't
1:33:36
got to go a deep dive into his life.
1:33:40
Always like trying to get us to go deeper and.
1:33:42
Like cut his ass. Isn't this what Damien does on
1:33:44
his podcast? Sometimes with them they just
1:33:46
roast the shit out of people. I don't know, I got to.
1:33:48
Ask, I think you volunteer. We just took these people
1:33:52
hostage. We just took him hostage.
1:33:55
He gets volunteers. OK, my bad.
1:33:57
Well, we're not telling anyone who they are.
1:33:59
To be fair, we didn't. I mean we.
1:34:02
Didn't go looking for them. No, we kind of did, but.
1:34:04
We're just on knuckle. Up.
1:34:05
It just happened. Yeah, we're on.
1:34:06
Malcolm, you know the answer. Keep going.
1:34:09
What's with the ISS? That's a popular car now.
1:34:13
Carl's been trying to tell you, bro.
1:34:14
You just don't. He's not here to tell.
1:34:16
You. Yeah, dude, that's a popular
1:34:17
fucking car. Don't want to hear it when he's
1:34:20
here. Yeah, I get it.
1:34:21
I mean, I don't, I don't know. This car's not really do it for
1:34:23
me. It's it's that natural rake
1:34:24
built into them. This shit is annoying.
1:34:26
That's a stock car. I mean, I get if they're cool
1:34:30
with stock cars then. Nope.
1:34:34
What? OK, almost.
1:34:36
Through. Whoa, what is that Fender in the
1:34:39
front? Not my cup of tea.
1:34:43
I don't know. Wait, what is this whole car
1:34:47
like that's not a EUR bump? What is that?
1:34:50
Oh, it's like a wide body something.
1:34:52
This is one of those cars that if I voice my opinion I'm going
1:34:55
to come off like a Dick but. I think we're already past that
1:34:57
point this episode honestly. I think people are just so mad.
1:35:02
What's your opinion? I I can't really formulate one.
1:35:06
I mean, I just, this is a lot. There's a lot going on.
1:35:09
Hey, he's got Gandoors. It would blow my mind if those
1:35:13
are real, but they could be. Don't do it, Malcolm.
1:35:18
Yeah, a for effort, I'll give you that.
1:35:20
I'll give you that, but but not for me.
1:35:23
OK, this is exactly what we're talking about before kind of as
1:35:26
well. I mean, for me it is.
1:35:27
I don't know about you, Josh. Yeah, dude, the rear is.
1:35:30
And this was a problem with our cartoon when we were drifting.
1:35:32
I think I saw a video or something.
1:35:33
I was like, I need to fucking put like bricks as coilovers in
1:35:36
the back because I not wanna ever see my car.
1:35:39
What we would do? Is.
1:35:41
Yeah, we would put the stiffest sway bars and then just crank
1:35:45
the entire car so there was no body roll.
1:35:47
So I would still do that for the record, but yeah.
1:35:50
But your car was not doing that. Yeah, but in our head we were
1:35:53
like I. Remember too much body load one
1:35:55
time on reverse I'm like yo it's your car was like doing some
1:36:00
kind of crazy shit like I I saw the coil over spring in the back
1:36:03
rear because it like lifted so high.
1:36:05
We put like, what was the remember?
1:36:07
The 12:10. Was it?
1:36:09
1210 yeah 12:10 with like. We would just up the the the
1:36:14
spring pressure in the back and like crank the preload and be
1:36:16
like maybe it'll stop having body roll if we do this, I don't
1:36:19
know. I got sick.
1:36:20
Pictures on the bank wall where it's like.
1:36:22
Yeah, just flat, but yeah, this is like just sagging ass and it
1:36:26
looks so bad, dude. Like if that car looked here's
1:36:30
100% perfect, I'd be like Nah. Here's where I'm hypocritical,
1:36:34
because in Drift I don't mind 'cause it's doing, yeah.
1:36:37
'Cause your style is kind of like that too now.
1:36:40
But what about seeing a car like this?
1:36:42
Like at its height. Static.
1:36:45
No, no, no, just like like like imagine this car was perfect in
1:36:51
every other way but it was doing this dragon ass.
1:36:53
It would still be cool to you. Yeah, because it looks like it's
1:36:56
actually performing. Yeah, see, that's like I'm still
1:37:00
on the the D evolved. The sway.
1:37:03
The sway bar. Yeah, like I'm like, Nah, it's I
1:37:06
wanted to look a certain way, but for your car for that style,
1:37:10
OK, I guess I. See some effort like in the
1:37:14
driving like when I. Oh yeah, I'm sure.
1:37:16
I'm sure you can. RIP.
1:37:18
Yeah, because there's a thin line between like dramatically
1:37:20
like cranking the car to make it look like that.
1:37:23
But I can tell that that car is basically level and he's it just
1:37:28
has functional suspension. Yeah, something about functional
1:37:31
suspension, I mean, just doesn't do it for you.
1:37:33
It just doesn't do it for me. Like that car probably sits like
1:37:37
that. I know, but I just can't do.
1:37:40
I don't. I don't want to see that.
1:37:42
It's weird. Like I said, it's just an
1:37:45
opinion, yeah. What?
1:37:49
Nope. Why?
1:37:50
Because Corbett. I can't, yeah, I can't get into
1:37:52
that. I'm tired of.
1:37:54
Trying to act like it's going to be a.
1:37:55
Japanese. Yeah, just get over it.
1:38:00
Nope, Nope, Nope. So your eyes are going right for
1:38:07
the wheels? Yep.
1:38:08
Yeah, it is easier when you do that.
1:38:13
Keep going. We're almost done.
1:38:16
Any I'm sorry to whoever this is, anytime I see a Type 2 front
1:38:19
bumper, it's a no for me rather than bad.
1:38:22
Literally because ever since ever since BN Sports came to the
1:38:26
USI was like, all right, thank God we don't have to get this
1:38:29
fucking bumper anymore because I just think fucking VIS Type 2
1:38:32
like that was it. That was like the the K the KVD
1:38:37
for back in the day. Yeah, that was it.
1:38:38
That's all you can get. That was the closest you can
1:38:40
get. Well isn't KVD that anyway that
1:38:42
bumper? No, no, KBD is.
1:38:45
I don't know what they think they have, but it's not that.
1:38:47
But you know what I'm getting. Yeah, yeah, they yeah, they
1:38:49
definitely, yeah. But like the the rear bumper is
1:38:52
like sure, the retarded version of being sports.
1:38:57
I answered the last one. That's only the first half.
1:39:02
No way. No, no, no.
1:39:06
I'm going to go there later tonight.
1:39:07
I'm going to. Don't worry, guys.
1:39:08
I'm going to help some of you out.
1:39:08
All right? Josh is a little too strict,
1:39:11
but. They they can all be saved.
1:39:14
Exactly like I feel like the ones that could be saved I'd be
1:39:16
like. That's why they're on there.
1:39:18
Yeah. Except the guy with the the
1:39:20
stock regular traffic. Damn, Malcolm's closing this
1:39:24
out, all right? Damn.
1:39:24
All right. What else?
1:39:25
Before we stop, what else being mean?
1:39:28
What else do you plan on doing with your company?
1:39:30
You're doing raffles, obviously, but you said that's not the
1:39:33
main. Yeah, it's just for
1:39:34
advertisement. So ideally what I want to do is
1:39:38
take on a project car or two during the year and avoid that.
1:39:43
Essentially like. Save people.
1:39:46
Yeah, save people like I I built that car to potentially save
1:39:50
someone from making something that could potentially look like
1:39:53
that, like I helped you out. Yeah.
1:39:55
But I think more or less if someone wants to come to me for
1:39:59
side work, they kind of have an idea of what they're looking for
1:40:03
style wise, so. Whether they want to build a car
1:40:06
that's similar to mine or they want to aspire to do something
1:40:11
like that. Like we can do that.
1:40:13
I've built three cars already like that.
1:40:15
If you want to do something that's a little bit more St.
1:40:18
overall all year round usage like what I did with that car,
1:40:23
then yeah, let's do it if you don't.
1:40:25
It kind of reminds me of a custom motorcycle builder
1:40:29
because it always seems like motorcycle shops to do more shit
1:40:33
like that where they like build a whole bike.
1:40:36
I feel like car shops, unless you get the right customer,
1:40:39
you're mostly doing like maintenance and then I'm not.
1:40:42
Trying to I don't want to upsell someone that they don't need.
1:40:46
Like like the giveaway car for example.
1:40:49
I could easily put a bigger turbo on it, I could easily put
1:40:52
knuckles on it. I could have completely
1:40:56
revitalized the suspension and done something different.
1:40:59
I didn't want to. I want that's a car that it's
1:41:04
going to be low operating costs because it's T25.
1:41:08
It's going to save you money on tires.
1:41:10
You can drive that car to the track and back home.
1:41:13
Like that's not a car that you need a truck and trailer.
1:41:16
It's not a car that's going to, you know, have unsuspecting
1:41:21
expenses that come with. It.
1:41:23
And that's a hatch not to mention it.
1:41:25
Not to mention I did all the dirt, The Dirty work already,
1:41:27
like yeah, the manifolds, like heat, like gaskets, everything
1:41:32
situated on that. Another thing too about what
1:41:34
you're doing is like, you could get those people that we are
1:41:38
talking about where they just don't get it, but they like all
1:41:41
those cars, but they for some reason don't have the potential
1:41:45
to do themselves, but they have the money to spend.
1:41:50
It's like, well, you already have.
1:41:51
Me, I mean, I feel like I have conversations with people like
1:41:54
that on Instagram all the time where they'll ask for my
1:41:57
personal opinion and I'll tell them.
1:42:00
At the end of the day, it's really what you want to do.
1:42:05
Yousef recently just did an interview and someone asked
1:42:11
like, oh, like if you were to get into drifting, like, how
1:42:13
would you go about like showing them?
1:42:15
And I thought that was like, so spot on.
1:42:17
And he was like, what I would do is like, take away the person's
1:42:20
phone and tell them to sit down and, you know, show them the
1:42:24
beginning, like the Ogs and show them like, hey, like we're going
1:42:29
to start from this year and we're going to go to this year.
1:42:33
You're going to sit down. You're going to watch this,
1:42:35
you're going to pick something that you like and you're going
1:42:37
to go from there. If there's a certain year or
1:42:40
particular type of builder car that interests you, we'll pause,
1:42:44
we'll do a deeper dive. We can do that.
1:42:47
There's so many people, I mean, for example, like me and you,
1:42:51
like we think the same, but like we're different.
1:42:53
Like, yeah, we have that. Yeah, that one thing was
1:42:56
different. Your playbook stopped at a
1:42:58
different timeline where you kind of gravitate.
1:43:01
I don't want to say obsessed, but you gravitate toward stuff.
1:43:07
You want stuff to look like that.
1:43:08
Whereas like my timeline, like I kept watching more and more and
1:43:12
I stopped on this. Well, and you guys?
1:43:15
Like time period. You guys care more about the
1:43:19
driving period. Like I, I know how it evolved
1:43:22
like it, it turned into more like it's less about how the car
1:43:27
looks and it's a little bit more about how it performs, how long
1:43:31
it can perform, not breaking shit.
1:43:34
You know what I mean? Like shit like that.
1:43:36
There's. Like a very thin line though cuz
1:43:38
I don't think I'll ever deviate away from.
1:43:42
Sort of that. Older style, like that's was
1:43:45
kind of my premise for building that cartoon.
1:43:47
Like yeah, I can still do it. And my SFT in it had a very
1:43:53
similar style to that. Like yeah I can easily enjoy
1:43:56
both, but. Yeah, the S15 was that.
1:43:59
That's why I was. There's like 2 versions of you
1:44:01
that exist inside of you, Yeah. Which is funny.
1:44:04
The two wolves, yeah, they always, they're always fighting
1:44:07
with each other. Yeah, it's like what you have
1:44:09
that for. I mean, it's kind of like, it's
1:44:13
kind of like how I was when I had a nice car.
1:44:15
When I had that STI, it was like I, I did like very little mods
1:44:19
to it, treated it like it was like a fucking Ferrari.
1:44:22
It was stressful. But then I had the drift car
1:44:24
where it was like, everything is broken and if you had to fix
1:44:27
something, you fixed it. But you didn't fix it to the
1:44:29
point where you would on that car because you have to have two
1:44:31
separate mindsets. Oh the S15 was so nerve wracking
1:44:35
to drive. Like I couldn't even sit at a
1:44:37
light and be at peace thinking like I might just get a rear end
1:44:41
it right now, like I might just lose this car.
1:44:44
I would only drive that car late at night when there was like no
1:44:47
one on the road or I would take it to work.
1:44:49
Like when I would work like off peak hours.
1:44:51
That's like when I would enjoy it.
1:44:53
Like I don't have any gratification and showing it off
1:44:57
and being like, check out my S15, like, look how different it
1:45:01
is. It's like I just genuinely
1:45:03
enjoyed that car and I enjoyed being in it and I enjoyed
1:45:05
looking at it and just enjoying it on my terms, which was sick.
1:45:11
And I, I want to do that again, but I feel like I've deviated
1:45:16
backward a little bit. Like, yeah, well.
1:45:19
The whole you got a lot of shit done last year, like personally,
1:45:24
you know what I mean? So I feel like, I feel like we
1:45:26
had a plan at the beginning of 2025 with the S15 and
1:45:31
everything, and then life came in and was like, Nah, this is
1:45:33
how it's. Going to happen.
1:45:34
Oh yeah, like life was. Yeah.
1:45:37
Really rough. So it's just, you know, now
1:45:39
it's. The first half of 2025 was I was
1:45:44
ready to noose myself. It was pretty rough.
1:45:47
Yeah, so, but now I think you're in a better spot.
1:45:50
Yeah, I'm in a way better position like.
1:45:53
Just. Overall, like as a whole, like
1:45:56
I've kind of got my, my fine, well, got my finances in check
1:46:00
and. Way better than the beginning of
1:46:02
last year. Yeah.
1:46:04
I mean, we could be transparent. I mean, I had to take out a
1:46:08
personal loan just to pay off like the past four years of
1:46:11
drifting that I had because it was just like tacking on how to
1:46:14
like really step back. I couldn't drive everything that
1:46:17
I wanted to. And I had to like prioritize,
1:46:20
like what and where I wanted to be at.
1:46:22
Yeah, it's still going to be like that for like the next two
1:46:27
years, but. But if you can do this.
1:46:29
Alleviate, yeah. And do what you plan on doing
1:46:33
and keep doing these giveaways too and building cars you want
1:46:35
to build. And hopefully it will create a
1:46:39
path for you where you're not really as stressed as you used
1:46:41
to be trying to make all. Yeah, I want to build, like I
1:46:44
said, I want to build. I want to take on at least one
1:46:47
or two project cars this year, consult with somebody and do a
1:46:50
full build or you know, just focus on like 1 area that might
1:46:55
need a little bit more work than others.
1:46:58
I also want to get into like parts restoration like what we
1:47:01
did like with the engine Bay. And I want to offer complete
1:47:04
packages for people like, you know, like full intake manifolds
1:47:08
or like a drivetrain set up with, you know, like matching
1:47:12
hardware. Like I feel like hardware is
1:47:14
such like a a lost art with the car.
1:47:18
And it's one of those things that really changes, like how
1:47:21
something looks. Yeah, like the fit and finish of
1:47:25
like having like correct and matching hardware.
1:47:28
I don't know, That's like where my my my tism kicks in.
1:47:32
Yeah, like. Before it used to be like
1:47:34
matching like aftermarket bolts, but now I guess like Chris
1:47:40
definitely like didn't help. But with his like FC Restoration
1:47:43
and Hizzy and stuff like we kind of get a little bit more.
1:47:48
Does he have like did he buy hardware for?
1:47:51
Yeah, like I bought some hardware for the the S13 that
1:47:55
not all the bolts like could be saved, but.
1:47:58
Because like there's, there'll be times where like I'm doing
1:48:00
something and you know what I'm talking about where you're like,
1:48:03
oh, this bolt isn't the same exact bolt as this one.
1:48:05
Let me go see if I can find the exact same bolt.
1:48:07
And then you're like, wait a minute, I've been doing this for
1:48:09
30 fucking minutes. Like that's a problem.
1:48:12
You know what I mean? And that's kind of that OCD
1:48:15
thing. And it literally will not affect
1:48:16
anything. Well, I mean, it might.
1:48:18
Someone might eventually see that one day and be like if
1:48:20
those were all different random bolts, if all the hardware was
1:48:23
random fucking 10mm, it's not going to look the same as if it
1:48:26
was. All the I mean, I hope I get
1:48:29
into a position where I could like deep dive and like have
1:48:33
like a clean car and I want to document exactly like.
1:48:37
What? What hardware goes where?
1:48:39
Because you know, some bolts have like different numbers on
1:48:42
them. Yeah, some bolts have the
1:48:46
Phillips had cross pattern like you know like those go.
1:48:49
Yeah, that's right. We have some of them here.
1:48:51
Like anything we find from Nissan, I'll, I'll go and like
1:48:54
put it on the website. But yeah, you can't find fucking
1:48:57
every single bolt, you know what I mean?
1:48:58
Yeah. So I would like to offer, you
1:49:00
know, something as small as like a Fender Fender package intake
1:49:07
manifold, like transmission, like all, all like OEM stuff.
1:49:12
Even if I could get like factory hardware and like restore it and
1:49:16
like offer that to someone to, yeah, level up their build like
1:49:20
that would be, that would be pretty ideal.
1:49:23
Even just fucking, I mean, doing what you're doing is.
1:49:25
And even like old parts too, like I mean, everyone's like a a
1:49:29
parts flipper, but if there's like a way that I have like a
1:49:32
one stop shop that is offering, you know, new and used parts,
1:49:37
like whether it's restoration parts or like a trinket golden
1:49:41
era part that you're looking for, I want it to be under one
1:49:45
umbrella. You could find the parts and we
1:49:47
can try to clean them up and then you could sell them like
1:49:49
restored in a little bit. Yeah, that's something
1:49:52
destroyed. That that that's ideally the
1:49:54
goal. So, yeah, I mean, I feel like we
1:49:57
talked about the giveaway stuff for a little bit, but that's not
1:50:00
essentially the end, the end goal, yeah.
1:50:03
To me, I'm like, dude, the giveaways are fucking.
1:50:05
This shit is awesome. You put a lot of effort into it.
1:50:08
You build a car you actually like, you drive it around for a
1:50:11
little bit and then you and then.
1:50:13
You. Make some money on it.
1:50:14
Like that's like the best thing for me, I feel like.
1:50:17
But yeah, it'd be good to have that.
1:50:19
And then doing other stuff as well.
1:50:21
The hardware thing, like part of me wants to get so like all the
1:50:24
Bolt, you know, the hardware we got on the back, all that shit
1:50:26
is in inventory for customer cars.
1:50:29
Part of me wants to get some that is just for me, you know I
1:50:33
mean, or some shit like in a corner where I don't have to
1:50:34
bill it out or anything and it's like OK, anytime I need to get
1:50:39
bolts and I can't find the matching one, I'm just going to
1:50:41
get 2 matching new ones or some shit because it's got to save so
1:50:44
much time than like trying to I'm.
1:50:47
Trying so hard not to roast you right now, but I.
1:50:49
I'm not talking about my car, I'm talking about like other
1:50:51
cars that I mean obviously my car too, but yeah, like the Z
1:50:56
and shit like that. I'm just like, why is this Bolt
1:51:00
different? I don't want it to be different.
1:51:02
I mean, and then I'm looking at bolts for fucking 20 minutes and
1:51:04
I'm like, dude, this is a problem.
1:51:06
It's like AOCD problem. And I know Chris Kachezi could
1:51:09
relate, but. I don't think I'm that bad, but
1:51:13
I I do know what you're getting at.
1:51:14
Like when? I mean fenders too, that would
1:51:17
that would be bad. Like it's the top Fender bolts
1:51:20
because that that's in the end. Fenders, yeah, fenders the the
1:51:24
motor brackets. I, I would, I'm going to see if
1:51:27
I get Eric to like really do like a good photo shoot with
1:51:30
that car and like further like promote like some of the stuff I
1:51:33
did, but. Yeah, I want to like about that
1:51:35
too. Like I feel like the promotion,
1:51:37
I feel like you could probably promote it more, but I feel you.
1:51:40
Weren't the weather is the biggest The car's trapped right
1:51:43
now. What Eric took.
1:51:45
Took those photos. No, no, I took them, but I'm
1:51:47
saying I want to get Eric to to help me out, but you know, like
1:51:50
we restored like the the headlight buckets.
1:51:53
I completely took the headlight buckets apart like sanded them
1:51:56
prime like underneath the the springs for the the buckets are
1:52:02
are restored like all that all that stuff is.
1:52:06
And is this in the folder that you have on there?
1:52:09
I it's just one of those things and I was putting it together.
1:52:11
I was, you start getting locked in because I was trying to align
1:52:15
the the front of the car and like, get it good.
1:52:17
Yeah, yeah. But it's just one of those
1:52:19
things that you're going to see when hopefully you win the car.
1:52:22
Yeah. And hopefully something I can
1:52:25
offer to someone if they would allow me to, you know, build
1:52:28
them a car. So if you want, if someone wants
1:52:32
you to build them a car, you go to evolve dot TCM.
1:52:36
What is it? Evolve dot TCM, But right now,
1:52:40
as of this podcast episode that we're doing, just message my
1:52:44
personal page. For whatever reason, I think the
1:52:48
account isn't fully set up or it's too new where I can't
1:52:51
receive DMS. Really.
1:52:52
Yeah, I can see pending DMS, but I can't click accept or open for
1:52:58
whatever reason. So it's like in limbo.
1:53:01
That's weird. Yeah, it's a little strange.
1:53:05
But yeah, so and your garage is almost done.
1:53:08
Yeah, so I'm working on that. I'm going to have a 2 post lift
1:53:12
and a four post lift, so I'm going to be able to take on a
1:53:15
little bit more extensive projects.
1:53:17
Do you know what lifts you're going to?
1:53:19
Get not at the moment. I had it like in the card and it
1:53:23
just like got cold and just busy right now.
1:53:26
Yeah, we need lifts for the back too in the auto preserve area.
1:53:30
Like right now, like the garage is like partially insulated, but
1:53:33
it's going to get sealed up. I'm going to bring my wheels, my
1:53:35
tires and I'm still packed up from when I moved from my other
1:53:40
house. I'm still I built that car out
1:53:43
of just two small tool boxes. Yeah.
1:53:46
And just whatever basically. So my track box and my small my
1:53:51
small like half size like carry tool box.
1:53:57
When did you move? I moved in the week before I
1:54:00
found about. Yeah.
1:54:02
Weekend before I found about that was another crazy thing,
1:54:05
like trying to deal with the headache that we did with my car
1:54:09
and like moving at the same time.
1:54:13
That was kind of a fun two days though.
1:54:16
Was it though? It was a little nervous.
1:54:18
It was for me because it wasn't my car, but because it was a
1:54:22
problem we were trying to figure out.
1:54:23
The problem is obvious, but we were looking around it.
1:54:26
We didn't want to think that was the issue.
1:54:28
But I don't know. Yeah, that that that those
1:54:32
couple videos on YouTube like that was that was kind of fun.
1:54:35
But all right, I have a headache and I'm hungry.
1:54:38
Malcolm, what do you think? I want to give him a couple
1:54:41
questions. Or that's a good idea.
1:54:42
We should probably do that. This is like a tangent like.
1:54:46
I know I feel bad for all the people we roasted.
1:54:49
I do too, sorry. I mean, because I don't you're
1:54:55
right. They did post that shit up.
1:54:56
Like actually no, I feel like Jimmy like stalk them found
1:55:01
found the worst photo of their car posted that up, you know?
1:55:06
That's a lot of photos to be sifting through the try to
1:55:11
figure out exactly what. Bro if they picked those photos
1:55:15
for for them to show their. Photos after the podcast.
1:55:18
Yeah, then that is. Then I don't feel bad at all
1:55:20
because some of those were not OK.
1:55:24
We posted this extremely late, so apologies to you, Josh,
1:55:27
because I walked in there and I was like, yo, did you post the
1:55:30
questionnaire? He's like, oh.
1:55:31
We almost didn't even do this. Yeah, probably shouldn't have.
1:55:34
No, no, that's fine, Chris. Jay-Z says you have a sandwich
1:55:41
named after you at the Staten Island diner.
1:55:43
Yeah, I did. I think the menu changed.
1:55:45
Wait, I don't even know what's in it.
1:55:47
Funny enough that cuz when I used to work there the menu was
1:55:51
changed and then I end up getting my job that I'm at now
1:55:54
and. Oh, so they actually had a Josh
1:55:56
Elise? Not like first and last name.
1:55:59
It was just like Josh. Yeah, like everyone that worked
1:56:02
there had their own thing. That's funny.
1:56:05
How did Front Street and Faction come together?
1:56:07
The relationship between the two is pretty rad.
1:56:12
You were selling parts and you were selling parts out of your
1:56:16
house rather, and the first thing I bought from you was the
1:56:19
D Max mats that are in that car. Is that exactly how that
1:56:22
happens? That's.
1:56:22
Exactly how that happened because.
1:56:25
Yeah. We met and then we hung out.
1:56:27
Like at your house. Miyagi was there.
1:56:30
Jesse was there, pretty much like our immediate friend
1:56:33
groups, like came together that day.
1:56:35
Yeah. And then I kind of remember, I
1:56:37
think. We like, I mean we had already
1:56:40
exchanged info at that point. That wasn't the alignment day,
1:56:42
was it? No, that was OK.
1:56:45
The string alignment day. Oh God that that day was so bad.
1:56:50
But yeah, we had already exchanged info.
1:56:54
I bought the maths from you and then I think the next thing I
1:56:57
bought from you was a pexy NOR exhaust.
1:57:01
OK, Yeah, yeah. And.
1:57:02
Then the next day, another one showed up to my.
1:57:05
Yes, I remember this. Yeah, and I was like, oh, I got
1:57:08
too exhausted. That was you.
1:57:09
I forgot that was you. I thought that was Chris for
1:57:11
some reason. I.
1:57:13
Just remember being like yo, I could just like, not tell this
1:57:16
kid. I was like, yeah, I was.
1:57:18
Just like I sent you the photos like I got two of these.
1:57:22
Damn. I don't know how you got it, or
1:57:25
maybe you picked it up, or maybe I even dropped it off to.
1:57:28
You I know they they must have sent 2 by accident but which is
1:57:31
crazy. But one of my favorite stories
1:57:36
or memories of Front Street is when I came down there for the
1:57:40
first time. I could have been the same
1:57:42
fucking time. Honestly not.
1:57:44
For the exhaust. Yeah, it could have been because
1:57:47
that was the day I met Alex, I think, and then we went to his
1:57:51
house. I don't know if you were there
1:57:52
in that moment, but I was with Chris, Chris Lazaro and Alex and
1:57:57
maybe Miyagi. And we went, he's like, yo, you
1:58:00
got to come see my car. We're building in the backyard
1:58:02
and it was like skate ramps everywhere in the backyard.
1:58:05
And then it was just a scar. And I was like yo why are there
1:58:07
self tappers holding this whole car together?
1:58:09
Yes, I remember. That it was just you would just
1:58:11
put a self Tapper on the Fender and just fucking drill it in and
1:58:14
you. Know what's crazy?
1:58:15
Is that the self Tapper King? Is the the Zinc Lord himself
1:58:19
Chris? Oh, he was the one.
1:58:22
He was, yeah. Yeah, because it, you know what
1:58:24
it was looking back at it, it was such a it made so much sense
1:58:28
because he was working with what's his face doing woodwork.
1:58:32
That's exactly what he was doing to this car.
1:58:34
He was just blasting self tappers in the hold Anything
1:58:37
together. I'm like, dude, what are you
1:58:38
doing? Like, why don't you like chase
1:58:40
the threads? They're like what?
1:58:42
I'm like, like get a thread chaser and just fix the hole
1:58:45
instead of just blast. It was so funny, dude.
1:58:47
And they're like, wait, you could do that?
1:58:50
Like it was so perfect. Like, I wish sometimes I wish
1:58:53
someone was filming because you were getting to see like.
1:58:57
All of our cars are blasted with self tappers.
1:58:59
Yeah, but you were seeing like people who BMX.
1:59:02
Even worse. Like BMX kids and skateboard
1:59:04
kids trying to put a car together.
1:59:06
That's what it was. You know what I mean?
1:59:08
And I was. Not a mechanical.
1:59:12
I was a little bit more on the mechanical because I think I
1:59:13
already worked at Nissan by that point and like Justin was a
1:59:16
mechanic. So I was like.
1:59:18
Yeah, none of us were mechanics. Yeah, you were all just.
1:59:20
Trying to go drive. BMX kids.
1:59:22
Yeah. So it was like really
1:59:24
interesting to see that happen. Yeah, I don't know that that was
1:59:28
that's one of my favorite memories.
1:59:29
And we could. Have a podcast just on that.
1:59:31
We could have a podcast on just memories of faction and Front
1:59:34
St. Like that would be if it was
1:59:35
like Miyagi dude. Me you Miyagi.
1:59:39
Alex, Chris. Alex.
1:59:41
Yeah, and Nick? Yeah dude, that podcast would be
1:59:44
fucking amazing. Jesse, we need.
1:59:47
Jesse too. You beat me to it.
1:59:48
I was going to say Jesse. Possibly Brendan.
1:59:50
The problem is like, you can't do it on a podcast because
1:59:52
there's too many people. We'd all be like.
1:59:54
Screaming, grabbing mics. You can't do it.
1:59:56
So you have to pick like the fucking At most you got to pick
1:59:59
like the six calmest people that can get something out.
2:00:02
Or just get a bigger room and we just do it somewhere else.
2:00:05
Yeah, and then Malcolm's on the mugs, cutting everyone off when
2:00:08
they start talking over each other.
2:00:09
Oh, he'd be doing a lot of. Work yeah you're fucking muted
2:00:12
all right I mean the typical question that we probably
2:00:18
shouldn't even bother with, but I'm going to ask anyway because
2:00:20
we don't have that many best SR20 S 13 setups best SR20S13
2:00:25
setup for the best drive ability and feel I mean we there's a lot
2:00:29
of. Giveaway car.
2:00:31
Oh yeah. It's stock.
2:00:32
Let's say, let's say drifting oriented like.
2:00:37
Let's say it's a. He wants to drift, but he wants
2:00:39
to drive it. I think it just comes down to
2:00:41
the experience level. And also it's like you got to I
2:00:47
mean, we need more info like are you trying to really drift the
2:00:49
shit out of this car? Or are we just is it a daily
2:00:53
driver because not? To plug myself, I'm just going
2:00:55
to use my car as an example because that's why I put it
2:00:57
together. I could have easily upgraded the
2:00:59
turbo computer fuel system. I did not because I wanted to
2:01:04
keep the cost low for the next person.
2:01:07
So that car is stock injectors overhauled all the you know, you
2:01:13
know how temperamental these cars are.
2:01:14
It's got new O rings, Donuts, the exhaust manifold that's got
2:01:19
the S15 multilayer gasket. It's got the multilayer 4 bolt.
2:01:23
It's got the multilayer 5 bolt locking tabs.
2:01:26
It's got all the gaskets. I'm going to tell you that
2:01:28
because you came here and took all the gaskets.
2:01:29
So Yep, yeah, it's got the locking tabs, everything.
2:01:33
With an SR20, I think there's a very, I mean, it's one of those
2:01:38
things, it's like a good engine just needs to change everything
2:01:41
in order for it to work. But these cars are so old that I
2:01:45
I really cannot emphasize enough that it being completely sealed
2:01:50
with the correct couplers, clamps, hoses and exhaust.
2:01:56
Everything being together and intact is what's going to get
2:02:00
you to turn laps. Yo people said this twice the
2:02:04
other day. Is the term keep the magic in
2:02:07
still a thing with Sr. 20s? Like not taking the cylinder
2:02:10
heads off. I guess I mean.
2:02:14
We haven't really said that in a while.
2:02:16
I haven't. You know why?
2:02:17
Because they're all $1,000,000 now, and now you don't have a
2:02:20
choice. And E85 exists and that's.
2:02:23
Yeah, it used to be you'd go buy another SR20 because.
2:02:29
Every time Swan would work, yeah.
2:02:30
I think time someone tried to rebuild one of those things,
2:02:32
they never had a good time but. Because everyone just does it
2:02:35
wrong. Kind of, yeah.
2:02:36
So now it's like we don't have a choice, so we would go buy
2:02:39
another motor for two grand or some shit.
2:02:41
Like, yeah. It was easier to take that risk,
2:02:43
but I mean it's cheaper now to just bring the engine to like a
2:02:47
reputable builder, spend the six grand on like a long block set
2:02:52
up. And cause a whole swap.
2:02:53
Now is 6 of seven grand. I think the market's starting to
2:02:57
correct itself now. OK, that's good.
2:03:00
Swaps are cheaper. I've noticed like the engine
2:03:03
depot pricing has come down. Yeah, like an S13 Sr.
2:03:07
I'm seeing them like 4200. They were like.
2:03:12
They were 6 grand. They were 6 grand at one point.
2:03:14
Yeah, OK, 4200, still a lot of money, but still better than.
2:03:18
What It was, yeah. Yeah, best racing seat.
2:03:25
Rash racing, Come on, you have like a whole bunch of different
2:03:28
seats to to choose from. Depends on what kind of racing
2:03:31
you're doing I'd say. You know, if you're drifting,
2:03:34
thrash is good. Brides are always good.
2:03:36
Did Recaro? Did Recaro.
2:03:38
Go out of business? That sounds so wrong to me.
2:03:40
No, you're thinking of stop tech that.
2:03:42
Yeah, I remember that. Why am I thinking Recaro?
2:03:45
Someone must have said something the other day.
2:03:47
Because Stop Tech went out of business.
2:03:48
Yeah, that was insane to me. And then you saw all the brands
2:03:52
that are under them. No.
2:03:53
There's a lot and I'm like, dude, what?
2:03:57
Like how do you fuck like they? Like they own other companies.
2:04:01
Like Centric, which is a Oh yeah, Centric and Stop tech are
2:04:05
the same. And then there's there was other
2:04:07
ones on there where I was like, that's kind of crazy that that's
2:04:10
going to go out of business. Daryl asked, probably jumping
2:04:12
for joy. Like.
2:04:14
I hope that someone buys it and like figures that out.
2:04:25
Wild Steve's in here so. Can I see it?
2:04:28
Yeah, would you rather would you rather be seen with a single Cam
2:04:33
KA or mini truck mommy in passenger seat but have ASR 20?
2:04:38
Oh my God, and we're not bringing up mini truck mini
2:04:43
truck mommy. But if you want to look her up
2:04:45
on Instagram, that's on your if you can do that at your own free
2:04:47
will. I'm.
2:04:48
Not answering that. KA I'm doing AKA.
2:04:54
Yeah, he's trying to put me in a in a position.
2:04:56
Dude, KMKA is kind of sick honestly.
2:04:59
For you maybe. I I think it could be sick.
2:05:02
It's such an ugly looking engine.
2:05:04
It is. It's like a tractor engine, but.
2:05:07
Looks and sounds like tractor, Revs like tractor.
2:05:10
All right. Last question from Logan.
2:05:12
How do you feel about JY proven you don't need to raise your
2:05:14
car. This is what he was talking
2:05:16
about when when I saw him. I don't think I did.
2:05:19
I talk to you about it. Yeah.
2:05:20
I. He raised his car.
2:05:22
He did the whole tall car thing. He drifted.
2:05:25
He said it was fine, it worked. And then he said he was over it
2:05:28
and he just slammed it and he said the car drives better.
2:05:30
He said better. That's crazy because I have a
2:05:32
lap of him at Polecat trying to get away from me and just heated
2:05:37
himself off the track I was. Like yo man, a blue axle.
2:05:41
Carl's like, yo, what He's like, So what did you do?
2:05:43
He's like, I lowered it and it drives better and we're like
2:05:45
sitting there. That's just him being ignant.
2:05:47
Yeah, I'm like, I don't know if it drives better, but I'm sure
2:05:50
it's. He knows how to do both.
2:05:52
He has enough experience where it doesn't matter to him.
2:05:56
Yeah, but he can't. I could do the same shit.
2:05:58
Yeah, I can't function exactly the same.
2:06:00
He's probably have more fun like that.
2:06:02
So he's like, oh, it's better. Yeah, of course he's he's
2:06:05
driving, he's getting laughs and the car, look, car looks sick in
2:06:08
the process of doing it. Malcolm, what kind of outro
2:06:10
music you got for this? Because I don't think you got
2:06:12
the right song for Yeah. Should I do that one?
2:06:15
I'm just making sure you're on point because he's getting
2:06:17
towards the end. Dude, I've been selling some orc
2:06:22
clutches lately. Have you?
2:06:24
Yeah, I'm kind of glad that people have finally like because
2:06:27
there was a good like 5 month period.
2:06:29
Maybe a month ago and you were? Like, yeah, I was like, I
2:06:31
haven't sold any, like maybe 2, but now I'm like, OK, it seems
2:06:34
like people are actually buying these now.
2:06:36
Someone, James Morales, was here the other day and he bought one
2:06:39
for his car and I saw the price and I was like, yeah, this is a
2:06:42
fucking no brainer. Like I remember when we were
2:06:44
paying over $1000 like to get those.
2:06:47
Clutches well, not understanding is that I think people still
2:06:51
think that when you buy a clutch like that you still need to buy
2:06:55
a flywheel and all that stuff I I mean I know, but.
2:06:59
Yeah, yeah. A lot of people, they're like,
2:07:00
why is it like this was? Yeah, it's like you're getting
2:07:05
everything is like 1 cohesive kit.
2:07:07
It's all lightweight, it's all the best material like.
2:07:11
Yeah, it's easy to use. And then on top of that, I mean
2:07:15
if something were to go wrong, you just get the replacement
2:07:18
part. And now we're gonna try to stock
2:07:19
that stuff too good so that we can actually rebuild these.
2:07:23
It used to be like we would. We would spend fucking too much
2:07:26
money and too much time trying to get them from Japan, then we
2:07:29
would get them, then they would break.
2:07:31
Eventually I. Needed that a year and a half
2:07:32
ago. Remember right Clutch dilemma.
2:07:35
And then and then, yeah, then you go to, oh, I'll just buy the
2:07:37
rebuild kit. Wait a minute.
2:07:39
No, I'm not because I'm not going to wait fucking two months
2:07:41
to rebuild the clutch. So now I'm fucked again.
2:07:43
Now I have to buy another one. Now everything's in the US, so
2:07:47
we're getting rebuild kits. And that way you could just
2:07:49
rebuild it fast. And then it's actually it's
2:07:53
better because now you have a a good clutch, a lightweight
2:07:57
flywheel, and when it breaks, you can rebuild it easily.
2:08:00
And it's so easy on the drivetrain too, like the I had
2:08:04
on the 180. I mean I've used the four O 9 D,
2:08:06
but I have a four O 9 D on the the 180 and that's like rated
2:08:12
for I think it was like 420 horsepower kind of like the
2:08:15
copper mix. Yeah.
2:08:17
And if I were to like add grip into that car and like hook it
2:08:21
up, it would start to slip. But I knew that's kind of like
2:08:25
where the limit was. So I would just like dial it
2:08:27
back from there. Like I could drive it hooked up
2:08:31
and it would slip, but it wasn't like abrasive on the drivetrain.
2:08:35
So it wasn't like, oh, it can't handle this.
2:08:38
It was like, oh, like you're exceeding the limit that it's
2:08:42
rated for. But if you let it cool off, you
2:08:46
can still, you know, fuck around.
2:08:48
And why do you think go crazy with it?
2:08:50
What do you think the the thought process is behind that
2:08:53
stuff with those clutches? Because I, I don't know exactly,
2:08:56
but in from my mind I feel like like the 400 series is pretty
2:09:00
much rated for 400 or less, but it's not really horsepower, it's
2:09:04
whatever they fucking use. Newton meters.
2:09:06
Yeah. So it's it's actually less than
2:09:08
400, but when you start going up, you get to you get to twin
2:09:14
disc pretty fast. And I feel like their their
2:09:18
clutches are just weaker than the ones that most people put
2:09:22
in. Like they'll put in like some
2:09:23
crazy ACT shit where it's like, oh, it holds 700 horsepower and
2:09:26
you're like. Well, it's, so I think that's
2:09:29
where you got it mixed up. So when you're adding multi
2:09:34
layer disk, you're actually relieving the pressure off the
2:09:38
pressure plate. Like the pressure plate on a
2:09:41
twin disk is lighter than the single plate because you're
2:09:45
using more mass to engage. More surface areas.
2:09:49
More surface area, Yeah, OK. So like those you know for
2:09:54
example, like ACT where it can hold X amount of porch, it's
2:09:59
really just all in the disc in that pressure plate.
2:10:02
Clutch material the Yeah. Well, no, I'm saying that it's
2:10:05
the. Clamping force.
2:10:06
OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. The the pressure plate is just
2:10:09
insane. Yeah, OK.
2:10:11
So that's more or less what it is.
2:10:14
But what? Makes and that's why it's so
2:10:15
annoying to drive those fucking cars, but then you get a car
2:10:17
with a twin disc or something and I'm like, this pedal isn't
2:10:20
really that bad. Well, yeah, because it's it's,
2:10:24
there's more going on. Like it's, it's really.
2:10:27
Just more service area. That's probably the main thing.
2:10:29
And the clamping, the what keeps the clutch like together is like
2:10:33
the, the type of material, like, you know, there's stock clutches
2:10:37
that are like organic and yeah, like the ORC stuff is metallic.
2:10:43
And they have that advertised because I think they do offer
2:10:46
organic clutches on their website.
2:10:48
They'll be, you know, kind of like how there's like a diagram
2:10:51
for like brake pads like Project MU and it'll show like the
2:10:54
corner of like, you know, heat temperature, like bite, like
2:10:58
they have that on there when they advertise their clutches.
2:11:02
What's the difference between organic?
2:11:03
Like why would you buy organic? If metallic is better, more of a
2:11:07
a clamping clamping material, it's more like stock like Nismo
2:11:11
is in like a organic style style clutch.
2:11:15
We should look that up. You want to look that up real
2:11:18
quick, Malcolm, Difference between organic and metallic
2:11:22
clutches. I kind of want to know I.
2:11:25
I think it just comes down to the the clamping force.
2:11:28
But it's the disc material, right?
2:11:30
It's the disc material, yeah. Yeah, organic clutches offer
2:11:33
smooth and easy engagement, ideally for daily driving, while
2:11:36
metallic clutches provide superior heat resistance,
2:11:39
durability. Organic is better for comfort
2:11:43
and longevity. OK, there's one thing so.
2:11:46
See how it says copper bronze aren't like the copper mixes
2:11:51
copper material, but it is kind of shaped like a like an organic
2:11:56
clutch. Like when you wear that out, it
2:11:59
does get like that bully wire. Yeah.
2:12:02
Whereas like the ORC clutch, when you burn that out, it just
2:12:05
looks like a brake, brake pad and brake roll.
2:12:07
It's like blue. I think the longevity is the
2:12:10
real thing. Also the metallic clutches don't
2:12:14
have a break in period like on the ORC stuff.
2:12:18
That's why some would always say break in and then the other
2:12:20
ones. It just says like go.
2:12:23
OK, that makes sense too. Like it'll.
2:12:26
It'll show like, oh, like do you need to break it in?
2:12:28
And all all the ORC clutches is like no ready to use because I
2:12:33
mean it's a competition. Yeah, yeah, they're just
2:12:35
throwing those things in there. Yep.
2:12:37
So. So there's there's that, but
2:12:40
yeah, I've used the four O 9 D and I've had no no issues with
2:12:44
it. I've used it at its Max power
2:12:46
level. I've had it slip.
2:12:48
I've all I did was just air up the car and it worked out.
2:12:52
But I have a 559-D in the the coupe.
2:12:57
This is like the second time I'm running it.
2:12:59
Did you guys go to twin disk at one point?
2:13:02
Yeah, that's what I have, the one, yeah.
2:13:04
I've used one already, I burnt it out.
2:13:07
Remember I was trying to get the replacement parts and then
2:13:08
somehow like they got thrown out the whole kit.
2:13:11
Yeah, I'm still, we're still kind of don't know what the fuck
2:13:14
happened. Yeah, like I, I had the rebuild
2:13:17
kit. I was like, hey, like, remember
2:13:18
we took that out like here, put that in here and I was like, I
2:13:21
don't know where that was. That whole day we were like
2:13:23
looking around, like, does anyone remember this?
2:13:25
People are like, is that the one on the wall?
2:13:26
I'm like, no, it's not the one on the wall.
2:13:28
But I still feel like that clutch is going to show up one
2:13:31
day too late. Oh well.
2:13:33
So yeah, I ended up just buying a new 559-D and what was sick
2:13:37
about that so. 559 D is the twin.
2:13:40
Yeah, OK. You should probably run that in
2:13:43
your car. Yeah.
2:13:44
Next century, yeah. It's like trying to think how
2:13:48
should I roast them? But yeah, I I've roasted one
2:13:53
disc entirely and I was able to leave the car in gear on on grid
2:13:59
with no clutch pedal like an automatic car.
2:14:02
And I revved it up. It slipped and I like 4500 the
2:14:06
other disc grabbed. So it was like I had an auto
2:14:08
car. That's sick.
2:14:11
Wait, so. That's how I end up drifting
2:14:13
with Colin that one time. Wait when?
2:14:16
At final bout, one of the discs was like.
2:14:19
Completely smoked OK. So we were just on grid and I
2:14:22
just like floored from like a dead stop and it took off at a
2:14:27
CVT. And you were actually able to
2:14:28
drift too and everything. Well yeah, it was already in the
2:14:30
high RPM so the other disc grabbed, so all I had to do was
2:14:33
just keep the Revs up so it didn't slip.
2:14:35
How'd you smoke that one? Just from always half clutching
2:14:39
OK when I when I'm driving my foot is never off.
2:14:42
It's always just like always resting on it like just in case
2:14:46
I need it. Yeah yeah, yeah.
2:14:47
I never clutch kick like sit on the car like I always, I'm
2:14:52
always partially in and the other disc is kind of just doing
2:14:58
its thing. I'd rather break the clutch than
2:15:00
the transmission, yeah. Did you ever do the dampener
2:15:03
thing yet or no? No, not yet.
2:15:05
I'm probably going to need to because that's why I'm dying to
2:15:08
drive so bad. I don't know something clicked
2:15:11
that final Val like after I end up smoking the car when me and
2:15:14
Jimmy like drove twin drift and then we did like 2 private days
2:15:18
after. I don't know.
2:15:19
I just really started getting the hang of like the tandem
2:15:22
driving that I want to do and I'm going to need that.
2:15:26
Let me just say that. Yeah.
2:15:28
I need that he he taught me a thing or two and it's worked
2:15:32
out. So what's the first event?
2:15:36
Polecat. Then we can have after that is
2:15:39
Drift Appalachia. OK, And there's going to be
2:15:43
night drifting, which is really nerve wracking.
2:15:46
Yeah, that's crazy. Then after that is LZ World
2:15:51
Tour. Is New York auto show something?
2:15:55
Allegedly we're still working on that.
2:15:58
It's kind of why we're fitting the arrow and everything, but as
2:16:01
far as I've been told, that's like a a go.
2:16:03
OK, might be able to see Front Street at New York auto show.
2:16:07
We don't know yet, but that would be cool.
2:16:09
So that's in the works. What else is after that?
2:16:13
I think after auto the auto show would be.
2:16:18
That's April, right? April then I think that's.
2:16:22
So when is? Vessel stage after that.
2:16:24
When is drift Appalachia? Drift Appalachia I think is
2:16:29
March 27th, 28th, somewhere around there.
2:16:33
I mean, I guess it makes. Sense Polecats the second week
2:16:36
and Drift Appalachia is the last week.
2:16:38
Oh, so polecats really early too.
2:16:40
Yeah, there's no such thing as an offseason anymore.
2:16:43
Yeah. Well, especially, you know,
2:16:45
further down there. Is that in Tennessee?
2:16:47
Yeah. OK, but the weather's gonna be
2:16:49
good. Yeah, he usually does like a
2:16:53
forecast, like, check. Just so like everyone has a
2:16:55
general idea but it should be like around 65 OK?
2:16:59
Spectators are welcome. Yeah.
2:17:01
OK. All right.
2:17:05
Are we done now, Malcolm? Yeah, sure.
2:17:07
OK, he's got it. All right, I see something.
2:17:11
He's. I see it all.
2:17:12
Right guys, thanks for listening to me and Josh bullshit for two
2:17:16
hours. I'm sorry if you you got this
2:17:18
far, this was pretty bad. No, no, no, this was good.
2:17:20
This was better than when me and Malcolm hang out for an hour and
2:17:23
people seem to like that. So oh, God, yeah, you could
2:17:25
imagine how bad those are. But yeah, if you want to check
2:17:29
out Josh's stuff, check out, I guess your Instagram right now.
2:17:31
Yeah, check out my Instagram and then if you wanna and to the
2:17:35
giveaway you can go to evolve dot TCM on Instagram and yeah
2:17:41
figure it out. Let's get this locked up and get
2:17:43
this car to somebody so they can start enjoying it when the
2:17:45
weather gets. Win a fucking brand new car.
2:17:47
Yeah. All right, guys, you're not
2:17:49
working. What's up?
2:17:50
It's not working but. You better figure it out bro.
2:17:54
It's not working. You got it bro.
2:17:55
I can only bullshit for so long. I can only save you for SO.
2:17:58
Long on, dude. Oh, we could roast Frankie for 5
2:18:02
minutes. No, no, no.
2:18:03
What's your plans? What's what's your game plan?
2:18:06
I want to finish the Z first. All right, free.
2:18:10
I'll give you a free pass. Yeah, you said that was OK.
2:18:12
You were like, all right, Because we were like, that's
2:18:14
the. Only way we're going to get you
2:18:15
out. Yeah, we're like this can be
2:18:16
this can be finished way faster, so let's just get this done do.
2:18:19
You think your Z will be ready by the time the S15 comes back
2:18:24
from? I'm just worried about the wheel
2:18:28
situation other than that. It shouldn't take you two months
2:18:30
to figure out the wheel situation.
2:18:32
It's really just I got to pull the trigger on one of one of
2:18:35
those sets. So I think so.
2:18:37
Yeah, I think so all. Right.
2:18:40
So we're going to bring out both cars same time, bring them the
2:18:43
final belt. The ZI final belt.
2:18:49
I'm not bringing the Z to final belt bro no.
2:18:50
No, the Hatch. About it every time I hit.
2:19:41
I don't know, do you think we roasted too many cars?
2:19:45
You know, I think they did it to themselves.
2:19:47
Josh was being extremely nice. He was he's he's not trying to
2:19:53
get cancelled, I assume. Yeah, because he was.
2:19:55
Yeah. I was like, he's usually a
2:19:56
little bit more mean than this, but.
2:20:01
I mean, Jimmy's more mean for. Uploading those.
2:20:05
Pictures to the. Yeah, I don't know who selected
2:20:08
those photos. Like I said, if they selected
2:20:11
their own photos, then they deserve everything that's coming
2:20:13
their way. But if Jimmy went out of his way
2:20:15
to find the worst photo? That Genesis couldn't be like.
2:20:19
Real. No, it's real, dude.
2:20:20
They just, they just don't understand.
2:20:24
Like that's not your event, you know, that's just not your
2:20:29
event. But that's when I'm.
2:20:31
I was trying to get that across but I don't know how to.
2:20:32
Explain it. It's hard to bring it into
2:20:35
words. Put it into words.
2:20:37
It's. Easy.
2:20:37
If you want to be an asshole about it.
2:20:38
It's easy to put into words, yeah, but when you're trying not
2:20:41
to be an asshole about it, it's pretty hard to formulate a
2:20:44
sentence. But yeah, you just.
2:20:47
They just don't. They don't get it.
2:20:50
They don't fucking get it. Like it's and it's OK, but like
2:20:53
you need to understand that you don't get it and.
2:20:55
Yeah, like maybe this isn't the event for you.
2:20:58
This isn't the not the scene for.
2:21:00
You exactly. Yeah.
2:21:02
All right. Now coming off of our high horse
2:21:06
back down to the reality, we got a raffle going on this month.
2:21:09
Yes, Sir. And maybe some of those people
2:21:12
would be interested in the raffle because you can get.
2:21:15
A bash bar. A football style bash bar for
2:21:17
the front right, The jacking point, I believe.
2:21:19
Do they make that one? Yeah, they do, right?
2:21:20
For the rear. For the front though, actually I
2:21:24
don't think they do make that. Not for the front.
2:21:26
Yeah, so limitless doesn't make the football looking helmet.
2:21:29
One, yeah, they only have the single bar or double bar, but no
2:21:32
Jack point in the front, only the rear I.
2:21:34
Believe, but you can Jack it up from the bottom bar.
2:21:36
That's probably why. Yeah, so, but yeah, so our
2:21:40
giveaway this month is a pair of front and rear bash bars from
2:21:43
Limitless Auto Fab. Every $5 on our website is 1
2:21:46
entry. Faction Motorsports products are
2:21:49
double entries so check it out. Buy some on the website.
2:21:53

2:22:04
of stock, now is the time. We'll be completing our
2:22:07

2:22:19
No, it's fine. Yeah.
2:22:21
And if you can't afford your parts right now, don't worry.
2:22:22
We got a firm on our website, though.
2:22:24
They got you covered so they can.
2:22:27
What is? What do you call a firm?
2:22:28
Is it a credit card? It's your best friend, It's
2:22:30
your. It's literally my best friend if
2:22:32
I was if I was starting out right now, a firm would be my
2:22:35
best friend. Used to be PayPal Credit.
2:22:39
PayPal credit is still a thing. Yeah.
2:22:42
Yeah, PayPal Credit gives you 6 months with no interest.
2:22:46
PayPal Credit ruined Tomaszaro's life.
2:22:48
That's all I'm going. To say it almost ruined mine.
2:22:49
Yeah, it's it's pretty easy to have that ruin your life.
2:22:52
No interest until you don't pay us, then we hit you with all of
2:22:55
the interest. Yup.
2:22:56
Yeah, that's how they get you. But a firm, they're not like
2:22:59
that. All right, a firm is like your
2:23:02
boy who hangs out with you and you're like, bro, can I just
2:23:05
hold 10 bucks and he always has it for you, but you always give
2:23:08
it back. I I would hope so.
2:23:10
In four easy payments, but you always give it back.
2:23:13
Yeah, so shops still kind of quiet, so if anyone needs some
2:23:20
work done on their cars, now would be a great time, yeah.

If you guys want a physical copy of Wrecked Magazine, you're
2:27:54
going to visit their website and you're going to find their
2:27:57
subscription button. Because this is.
2:28:00
This is like, I don't want to say it because I don't want to
2:28:02
piss off the other sponsors, but this is my favorite sponsor
2:28:04
right now. Yeah, because I've been dying to
2:28:08
have magazines make a comeback. And I feel like at least we're
2:28:11
getting one in drifting. I don't know if the other ones
2:28:13
are going to make a comeback. I feel like a lot of these
2:28:15
companies are too big for their own good, but Wreck Magazine is
2:28:19
a small group of people. They got, I guess, journalists.
2:28:23
They got journalists and photographers all over the
2:28:25
country. So they just have them go out
2:28:27
whenever they need to go to an event or anything like that.
2:28:31
Yeah, there's nothing better than physical media.
2:28:34
Yeah, when you have that in your hand, you could look at those
2:28:38
pictures up close and personal. And you'll have it forever.
2:28:43
Yeah, unless your house burns down, then you don't.
2:28:45
OK. But that's worst case scenario.
2:28:47
Yeah. All right, so you'll have it
2:28:49
forever and you get to look back like, oh, remember that thing 10
2:28:53
years ago? I went, oh, let's go look.
2:28:54
And then you see all the cars from 10 years ago and you're
2:28:55
like, what the fuck were these people doing?
2:28:58
So that's kind of cool too, but. So if you want to take a, you
2:29:01
know, a look inside of the drifting community, stay current
2:29:04
on the community with news builds.
2:29:09
They do have. Drivers.
2:29:10
Yeah, in in addition to that, they do have social media and
2:29:14
all that, so you can follow them on Facebook or Instagram and
2:29:17

2:29:39
but you can actually, so you can actually look at their current
2:29:42
issue, kind of like you're browsing on the street
2:29:44
somewhere, you know, you saw a magazine.

Yeah, you're at the news stand. You just open it up.
2:29:48
Yeah, I want to take this home and have it forever.
2:29:51
Yeah. But me personally, I would just
2:29:53
do the subscription thing because having that is awesome.
2:29:57
We're trying, we're still trying to get them here at the shop.
2:29:59
