- 7:37I went and I picked it up. The only thing it had on it was
- 7:39Megan coils and like this beat kit and it was like, baby light
- 7:44bluish with the pan. Destroyed this exact same as 14,
- 7:48really? That's it.
- 7:48It was light blue. It has nothing to do with your s

- 7:55But yeah. See no way, dude.
- 7:58Same shit. I'm not even.
- 8:01Okay, I didn't say that. But yeah, it was, it was
- 8:07Something wrong with you. With these sunglasses, shrink my

- 8:12Yeah, dude, I never wear sunglasses.
- 8:13What it's like, pushing on your temple, your nobody's making you
- 8:16wear them. I kind of want to.
- 8:17I feel like we're dedicated to this issue by them with the
- 8:20Glock. I mean, we can take them off if
- 8:21we're going to if he's gonna take them off.
- 8:22While we're all gonna take them. That's fine and finish.
- 8:25It finish this the this Corolla. So you got stock SR5, for AC and
- 8:31I picked it up. I drove it home.
- 8:33I'd a lead it for like, two, three months.
- 8:35It was so is a running and driving.
- 8:37Driving car running and dry. You remember how much you bought
- 8:39it for water first? 4K flat.
- 8:42Which was kind of high at the time, which strangely, they kind
- 8:45of went. There was a day, that is kind of
- 8:47hot. I could have taught him that I
- 8:50could have, definitely, but I was super green.
- 8:52Two cars when I bought that car, like I had an Evo 10 before that
- 8:56I liked. I bought one brand new Johnny,
- 9:00sorry. When you say that.
- 9:01I just, yeah. Johnny guanaco colleges and
- 9:04these are the shout out. People bought that car.
- 9:06I drove a drove that Evo for like, two years like daily to
- 9:09beat it to death. Drove it I went to UT I & Exton
- 9:12first vertex. Cool.
- 9:13So I drove it back and forth. Drove it up here and there.
- 9:15And then when I learned about the 86 is like Wala, now I need
- 9:19to get that and I don't know if it was a mistake.
- 9:21I mean, it damn. You went from an EVO tendo to an
- 9:2486. Yeah, something like that has
- 9:26changing. Yeah, I'm here today because of
- 9:29that decision it's got like door panels and like yeah.
- 9:32Yeah, you know, HVAC reliability.
- 9:35Comfort, AC, would you rather here's a good question.
- 9:39Would you rather trust a 4AC Toyota engine, or does the, the
- 9:45Evo 10 for b11? Whatever.
- 9:47That is really what it is for b11.
- 9:49I would much rather trust that. I don't know what other story.
- 9:51Oh no, no, no, I would trust a 4 AC all day.
- 9:54Don't know your. Then your brushes just going to
- 9:56run on oil decision. See that funny you bring that
- 9:59up? I drove that car and this is how
- 10:00green I was with cars at the time.
- 10:02The realized. Wait, when you say green, you're
- 10:04like discretion to into jacket. Fucking Silo people.
- 10:08Yeah, straight up like, yeah, got the car and I was like, I
- 10:11had never owned an old car before.
- 10:13So I didn't think you had to, like, check fluids and the oil.
- 10:16I was like not my Evo, I just beat it.
- 10:18I take it to the track. I'll take it to school.
- 10:20I was driving on the highway, the whole you drove your Evo
- 10:23wycheck. I did the oil change.
- 10:24Yes, on it. But but that car is brand new.
- 10:25It didn't burn oil. Like yeah, it was, you know, top
- 10:28it off every once in a while but then the Corolla the a the for a
- 10:31see the 35 year. Exhausted for AC, on the way to
- 10:34work. One morning, just started
- 10:35knocking and I was like, I didn't know y'all change on this
- 10:38car and then, like, I checked, it was bone dry up.
- 10:40Oh no. I always wondered how long I
- 10:43drove the car, like that for, but you've never done that in
- 10:46your in any of your cars. Frankie, not put oil in them.
- 10:49Let me tell you a story, okay? Because the way that you drove
- 10:54cars, like that I was never like this.
- 10:56I'm like this because of hardship and pain.
- 11:00Yeah, let's hear it. Roaring because that happened to
- 11:02me. So I had my Integra, I didn't
- 11:04know how fast it Honda's can possibly burn oil.
- 11:07They need oil. I know I didn't they needed oil
- 11:11and they were good with like, the one like you could drive it
- 11:13without oil and find it when the oil you change it once when it
- 11:15leaves the factory line. Yeah, but no.
- 11:18So I didn't know that they burned oil really fast and just
- 11:21like you did. And I was driving it and I was
- 11:23doing a poll on the highway with it and then all of a sudden the
- 11:26check engine light turned on. And then after that, the engine
- 11:29started making a little bit of noise and then I asked you Oil
- 11:32light, ever the oil light and the check engine light went on
- 11:35at the same exact time, convenient, convenient, right?
- 11:38It make it really easy for well that oil light is more of a you
- 11:41already fucked up light but it's just it know it's crazy to me
- 11:44because when you, when you talk about that, I'm like, damn, like
- 11:47we really came a long way and like when people start out in
- 11:50cars and shit, like a lot of these listeners that we have,
- 11:52they're like new two cars. So like it's nice that that's
- 11:55relatable. Yeah.
- 11:56I like to think that the timeline.
- 11:58It was like, it was a necessary lure for the plot of which my
- 12:02life. Coaching moment.
- 12:03Yeah, well, because had I had known to take care of the engine
- 12:07and put oil in it and stuff and mind you, I was in tech school
- 12:11still. So I was a mechanic I should
- 12:12have very well-known. They didn't teach you this but
- 12:15they didn't, they say what have you?
- 12:17They did it in the car. Not their fault for not,
- 12:20teaching me. I should have known, I was very
- 12:22not there. Well, you are coming from a new
- 12:24car or something from a new car and my mental, as a kid, I was
- 12:27young. Nico was tripping, pretty often
- 12:30turn it. So it was my dad kind of like
- 12:32Got that mentality into me with the oil thing.
- 12:34I was probably checking the oil, my car way too much.
- 12:37See my dad hates my arse and wanted my car to blow up.
- 12:40Not so I mean every wasn't you know, I had no old.
- 12:43I never had like a father figure for cars.
- 12:46It was all like I'm a young dumb kid and I'll Google it.
- 12:49I won't even look at forms. If I don't want to I just look
- 12:51at Google and see. Your first comes up, your family
- 12:54was not like a, they didn't like the car thing.
- 12:56They don't know. They're off the boat immigrants.
- 12:58Yeah, cbt-i we do. What do you mean?
- 13:00Like if you're going to try this everyday, for the next, Teen
- 13:02years and I was like, well, do something with it.
- 13:06That might be involved. Do you need all this?
- 13:08All these parts? There's you were it.
- 13:10It's already I do you need them? Yeah, it might break one day.
- 13:15Yeah, I know that car like that, that motor blew.
- 13:18And then I was like, well, if I don't get this car running, I'm
- 13:22going to have mental breakdowns every day because I was like,
- 13:25you know, like I just Am I going to be the one that has to bring
- 13:29this part up? Yeah, I got into cars because of
- 13:30Initial D. Not calling the drifting because
- 13:32of Initial D. I saw.
- 13:33That's why you bought it. I cast somebody would ask me.
- 13:36Yeah, yeah, I would. I mean we all do that.
- 13:38Yeah, I was in tech school and then I met a bunch of dudes that
- 13:40were in the drift and I not even drifting, actually, they were
- 13:42all kind of into Volkswagens, but they knew there was a few,
- 13:45don't remember who they were. I went to there was always this,
- 13:46their teens, at the school and stuff.
- 13:47And we got, we had a super Street class class.
- 13:51Yeah, it was, it was like a three weeks, every UTI under
- 13:54sign up. It was cool.
- 13:55You might straight up, be able to not Just like Han data and
- 13:58then like, what's that sounds informative?
- 14:01So you it was a huge block of the program near the end of it.
- 14:06Where you basically, they teach you, they have a have to
- 14:08diagnose at UTI in an engine Dyno and they would remember
- 14:12what the car is worth which, which UTI is Exton, PA always.
- 14:16Okay. Yeah.
- 14:18The one that Chris went to I do we used to go off-roading in the
- 14:22parking lot. Drifting in the parking lot.
- 14:24Yeah, me too UTI. They will they were they were
- 14:26rough with that. But Damn.
- 14:27So they taught you how to tune. Yeah, well they they gave us the
- 14:30three-week crash course on how to Just Adjust fuel tables and
- 14:33trims and stuff like that. That you would take a map and
- 14:36then you would adjust it, put it on, upload it to the car.
- 14:38Do a couple pulls with, like, your group.
- 14:40And then go back and adjust it. Wow.
- 14:42But it's tough because there's always one guy who was better at
- 14:44that than everybody and he would just take it over and not tell
- 14:46you what he's doing. So you just sit there watching
- 14:48and it's like and I was. So I started tech school because
- 14:52I wanted to learn about cars which is one of the most bujji's
- 14:54things I think I've ever said in my life.
- 14:56No, that's so weird. I mean, What a lot of people do.
- 14:58Yeah. I was like, yeah, I really want
- 14:59to worry about cars and make a career out of this because I was
- 15:02working. I worked my whole life at my
- 15:04parents restaurant and okay, so I worked forever and I didn't
- 15:09have the money pit. So I had what ton of money
- 15:11saved, which is why I bought an EVO, and this and that.
- 15:13And then as soon as I bought the Corolla, I've been broke ever
- 15:16since it's crazy. It's crazy.
- 15:19That's pain. No, no, that's but so this is
- 15:23the super Street class is what got me into it because they gave
- 15:25us calendars. Like, when we like, We sat down,
- 15:28here's your what's the syllabus syllabus for the three weeks and
- 15:32then here is a calendar with a bunch of sick tuner cars in it
- 15:37and then I'm flipping through it.
- 15:38I'm like the fuck. Is that box?
- 15:40My boys, I got, it's an 86. There's a sick show about it.
- 15:43And I was like, oh, okay told me about initial day that night.
- 15:46I was like, yeah, I'm trying to watch this shit that game.
- 15:49It was right on Netflix, dude. Yep.
- 15:51Was that Alex was that that's after you had that Evo after I
- 15:54had the Evo. So you got that.
- 15:55You had the Evo and then you decided to go to So yes, I had
- 15:59the Evo. I was into cars for a while
- 16:00before all that. Yeah, I just didn't know.
- 16:02I was working on the, I think I did my intake and exhaust on my
- 16:06ego. And that was like the most I
- 16:08ever done on cars. Yeah, you decided you're like,
- 16:11I'm going to work on cars. Yeah, I loved it.
- 16:12Trying to get out of the restaurant stuff.
- 16:14Yes I see it. Happy what did you start loving
- 16:16about it? To me it's like that feeling of
- 16:18success. You did something it, right?
- 16:20It's you know when you work for a lot of people who have family
- 16:23businesses can relate. If you are born into a business
- 16:26you know, I was like an eight Nine years old.
- 16:28My parents got the business and I grew up.
- 16:30When I was like 12, I started bussing tables and working and
- 16:32ever since then I've worked like all day every day.
- 16:35As soon as I was done School they'd pick me up I'd go there.
- 16:37That's all I knew. So you didn't really build
- 16:40anything. You didn't even created
- 16:41anything, you don't have a name for yourself.
- 16:43You're expanding your parents name, you know.
- 16:46And then at that point I think I was 19 20 when I made the
- 16:49decision to go to Tech school and I was like I think I can do
- 16:53this whole working on cars thing.
- 16:54I just need to learn how to do it and then you got that
- 16:56calendar and I Calendar. Yeah, father.
- 17:00And then yeah, that was pretty much right when I saw that show.
- 17:02I was like, woah. So you mean like a beet karke
- 17:05and like rip on GTRs and stuff like picturing you right in your
- 17:09room dark at night just like watching.
- 17:11Yeah, I was in my, I had wow, lost my train of thought.
- 17:15I had three roommates, and they obviously were all hard, dudes.
- 17:19Except my buddy, Zach, who I went like, I brought him to
- 17:22school with me. He, we went to high school
- 17:23together, he has stepped out on a mechanic shop, and he was
- 17:26like, yeah, I'm going to go to panco.
- 17:27Oh Tech or some shit and I'm like, yo, fuck that school.

- 18:56Like so we went to Thomas. Yeah, other and sorry I need to
- 18:59close out. There is a lot of people out
- 19:01there who don't just they rip and they drive and they just
- 19:04don't give too much to sense but I don't, I don't know.
- 19:07I'm not trying to bring this up on the fun, you know, live
- 19:10podcast networking and stuff. But like I don't want to watch
- 19:13your car, I don't care. Yeah, that's why I told him I
- 19:15was a pro. I don't want to look at you
- 19:16driving. No matter how hard is growing.
- 19:18It is the don't care. It is.
- 19:21It is us that like the style that liked it, spread the
- 19:25influence that way. Yeah, right.
- 19:27Yeah. And that is being free.
- 19:28I mean, if you can't. Yeah.
- 19:29But some people are like that. You can't really change them.
- 19:31Yeah. Yeah.
- 19:32No. You cannot, you cannot change
- 19:33this guy's for. Damn sure.
- 19:34Yeah. They'll just keep on rip.
- 19:36It's like seeing your friends. Start doing a hard drug or
- 19:38something? Yeah.
- 19:39Yeah it's rough. And you're like well yeah, my
- 19:41maybe I could save about these chrome wheels broke.
- 19:44Yeah, not can't save them. That's pretty unreal.
- 19:47They are comparing our parts, too.
- 19:51Fucking hard drugs. I mean, dude, it's kind of the
- 19:54same thing, right? Because he grew up with them.
- 19:57They go. Cool.
- 19:58And then it's like, yeah, I'm going to start drifting and you
- 20:00both start drifting. And then you like, cars that
- 20:03look really good, and, but your friend, like, doesn't give up.
- 20:06Here's the thing, like, in hindsight for him, had he
- 20:09listened to me and built a hot car.
- 20:11He'd probably still be stuck with the hot car, but he'd also
- 20:13still probably be drifting with me.
- 20:15He has drifted in a couple of years because he like yeah,
- 20:17doesn't care. And then it but then in the car
- 20:19then it involves you and more as like you know, we started drift
- 20:21team but you're here. Ya are kind of doesn't make the
- 20:25cut man. I just do a little bit more.
- 20:27More. Yeah.
- 20:28It's like if only you had a kitten paint, you might be able
- 20:30to drive with us but guess what? Yeah, you know, like here's the
- 20:32crazy thing. Wow, that's funny.
- 20:34Well happens. Oh yeah, yeah, you took you
- 20:39right here, bro. I bought a kid and I painted it
- 20:41follow. Well, that's 13.
- 20:42That car look great though. No, I haven't is now.
- 20:45Well, I thought you meant like when you still like a years ago.
- 20:47No, yeah, no. Yeah.
- 20:48I didn't know Frank. Frankie probably would like me
- 20:50more if I still have this crazy thing though.
- 20:52Is that my homie owns a house? So he's got a house.
- 20:56Yeah. But he doesn't have a hot drift
- 20:57car, so you have a family and kids gotta ages married.
- 21:00No kids. No, kids seems to be the trouble
- 21:02that you kind of have like, he's got no kid yet.
- 21:04He could still drift. You, you gotta, you gotta that's
- 21:07like the trend. I feel like not the trend, but
- 21:09like, it's just notice that it's like, how much money goes in to
- 21:12each, like cars cost. So much fucking money, but a lot
- 21:15of drifters with houses and wives.
- 21:17And that's what I don't understand.
- 21:18Don't know a lot of drifters were kids.
- 21:20The the wives, they split the house payment.
- 21:22You got to buy a house if I had someone to split it with me but
- 21:25As of recently, since we get to have these podcasts and I get to
- 21:28talk to more and more of these people who get to experience,
- 21:30like like they had a grind for that shit.
- 21:35Like you know, if they have shit going on, that's that's making
- 21:38this money. Well I jobs work has, I don't
- 21:42fucking know. That's my next question.
- 21:44Were you work right now? I don't have a job bro.
- 21:45Okay dripping with those glasses.
- 21:47You don't really need one. No, you do not because I just
- 21:49pay you what, actually because like, okay, I and and I know
- 21:53that there's a lot of people like me that are like I gotta
- 21:56get a good job and then do this, but like what do you do for
- 21:59work? What I do for work is an enigma.
- 22:02I don't really know what I do. Like what what my main focus is?
- 22:07I day, trade options. That's all rich people to buy
- 22:10better. It doesn't it doesn't make me a
- 22:12ton of money. I've I've been doing it for
- 22:14almost about a year and a half. I risk High reward.
- 22:17Yes, yeah. I've been doing every year and a
- 22:18half and I only the past two months, if I become like
- 22:20consistently profitable, which is good, it means the next rest
- 22:23of my life. I might make some money.
- 22:26And then I do at one point I was doing like freelance camera car
- 22:31work, where I was transporting stuff for Metro camera car.
- 22:34I only did a couple of gigs for them and I don't know what else
- 22:39I do. What else did I do?
- 22:40I worked as a tech, you are a tech for Nissan, right?
- 22:42Yeah. I was a tech for a Mercedes and
- 22:44then landlord Jaguar Rover for the past.
- 22:46Like, didn't you ever go back to the restaurant?
- 22:49I'm at the restaurant currently because my parents are on
- 22:51vacation. Okay, so you still doing that.
- 22:53Yeah, actually I forgot I did just I Worked for battle garage
- 22:56racing service, which shocked the homies fuck.
- 23:00Yeah they got good stuff over there, they're the best 86 Parts
- 23:03door. I don't care.
- 23:04What are they nice over there? My other homie Grant long time?
- 23:07Homie, I love to hear that. Yeah, we're they located there.
- 23:10The Bay Area, San Francisco Yoda stuff, right?

- 23:15But now, they actually Branch to is, they have like, they have
- 23:18like a lot. They have a lot of jzx off, a
- 23:19lot of s or stuff. No, not really, just to Jay-Z
- 23:22stuff. They don't have chassis specific

- 23:28point. Yeah, they're really, really
- 23:31good with that. They, they, I mean, it's, it's
- 23:33actually crazy. So it was a five person like
- 23:38five or six people, maybe seven but it started it, you know how
- 23:42every company starts was in his in Grant's garage and then he's
- 23:44got a nice Warehouse in the Bay Area and they made an operation
- 23:49but like, their back end is so crazy they use like, I don't
- 23:52know what I can and can't say I did sign some DNA's or Andy
- 23:55Andy. DNA is the stuff in your body.
- 23:57It's the stuff that's coming out.
- 23:58If you don't think or take those glasses off, am I wrong?
- 24:03No, you're right. Yeah, thanks for pointing that
- 24:06out. So the learn a thing or two God.

- 24:16So that's cool. I like to hear their yeah,
- 24:17that's really cool. You get them to do a podcast.
- 24:19Make I very well could Grant would grants like, probably one
- 24:22of the busiest roads I've ever met.
- 24:24But I'm sure he could do something about think I like
- 24:28hearing just like how I feel like some people, maybe
- 24:31hopefully know that we're not fucking weirdos over here
- 24:34because, you know, there are there people behind this, the
- 24:38the scene like we're not, which is normal as people back here.
- 24:42You know I can't with these glasses bro there.
- 24:44So I'm so myself. Looking at first time you ever
- 24:49looked at yourself. Yeah.
- 24:50Until your weight. Like you look like the range
- 24:52officer, I really do Malcolm. How do you fucking wear these
- 24:55around and think your they look awesome.
- 24:57I'm not gonna lie, I do like the most I'm not.
- 25:00But yeah, he's got he's got the hair in the Hat for it.
- 25:03So yeah. So we're going to move a little
- 25:06bit down. The story a little bit, but we
- 25:08are. All right, we're what?
- 25:12So did the for AC? So the for AC died you didn't
- 25:15put oil. No I didn't die.
- 25:16It was murdered. Well alleges my fault on the I'm
- 25:21a killer allegedly. Yeah but so then you just decide
- 25:26to put a beams in that bitch. Yeah I see it's what's crazy.
- 25:32Is I was like okay obviously Initial D talking me had that
- 25:3616-valve stock GTS in the show or whatever and I was like I
- 25:39want I want the basic thing that makes me.
- 25:42Learn how to drive this car fast and then I was, I would learn
- 25:45about the beams engine and then I was like, never mind.
- 25:48That's fucking cool. Look at that valve cover.
- 25:50You know what I mean? And the price versus this was
- 25:54like, yeah, I was ten years ago when I, because it was only a
- 25:57few months after I got the car that the motor blew, and then I
- 26:01picked up the motor and had it for a little while.
- 26:03Before I found it was a shop around here.
- 26:05I'll even want to name them. Hmm.
- 26:06We're gonna leave them out. They the dude had a beams in his
- 26:10car and I was like, no way. Away.
- 26:12Like this is there was not a lot of information about it.
- 26:14There was no virtually zero aftermarket support.
- 26:18It was in like the infancy of the swap sort of, maybe two,
- 26:21three years before that was when it started, you know, picking up
- 26:24at all. But so this guy had it.
- 26:27One of the few in the, maybe the country.
- 26:29I don't even know honestly. But so I was like, all right.
- 26:31I'll trust them to do it. What year was this 2000?
- 26:3611 11. Okay yep.
- 26:41Maybe 2012. Maybe.
- 26:43Yeah. Anyway, 2011-2012.
- 26:45Something that not a lot of them so I bought the motor from JDM
- 26:51Engine deep hours. Yeah.
- 26:53And one of the one of the six, one of those and I brought it
- 26:57over to them. They installed it with the stock
- 27:00like SR5 rear and stuff like that.
- 27:02So I was like the have a disc brake.
- 27:03So I had like the big clunky rear and yeah, I drove it home
- 27:08like three or four months later when they were done with it.
- 27:10They had to Fab the amounts and Everything.
- 27:12So it wasn't like just a drop in solution and I have no welding
- 27:14experience. And like I wasn't gonna figure
- 27:16that out. Yeah.
- 27:17Considering I didn't know how to put oil in the car at the time.
- 27:20I wasn't going to do a swap, so that region isn't just a drop in
- 27:22engine. Now, it is now, it's very, very
- 27:25much. So a drop in engine now.
- 27:27And even at the time, the only reason it wasn't was, there was
- 27:30no kit to slap mounts on the thing and drop it in the car.
- 27:33You see the little massage of the trans tunnel to make it
- 27:36really fit. J, 160 trans is hopefully you
- 27:40didn't have to massage it. A to know I use the six it in
- 27:44there. Oh yeah the J 162.
- 27:45Lat, I had that same trans for the whole seven or eight years
- 27:51ago. My beams just about as big as a
- 27:52srk. A trance.
- 27:54It like is tapered like a normal.
- 27:56I saw it's bigger than a cage. Ran it is yeah it's a bit ain't
- 27:59no sweetie. This is a Cat6 versus fucking
- 28:03time. Yeah I can I think I can pick it
- 28:04up and put it over my head. That was life-changing.
- 28:07When everything out of transmission though, the out of
- 28:10transmission, you could fuck it. It's big.
- 28:13There's no it's tiny as fuck did.
- 28:15I don't know that one might be and it's got like a little
- 28:17skinny little shaft on it. That one looked like it was for
- 28:19a go-kart. Yeah, it's a tiny gearbox.
- 28:21Yeah. The tea 550d, 50 God.
- 28:26So you have that engine the whole time.
- 28:27He had the car pretty much. Pretty much.
- 28:28Pretty much. Yeah.
- 28:29Mmm, I actually never knew that I thought.
- 28:32Yeah, I thought you might have bought the car like that.
- 28:34Oh, I had that car. I had that engine in that car.
- 28:39Let's see, maybe a year or two? Yeah, about a year before I did
- 28:43my first drift event because I spent like all the time trying
- 28:46to make sure that the motor was good and I was learning as I was
- 28:49doing, I did everything after they did the engine swap
- 28:51everywhere. All the work that got done in
- 28:53that cards in myself, pretty much besides, it was something
- 28:55custom that needed welding or whatever.
- 28:57What was it like, like trying to figure out something that you
- 29:01didn't really have a lot of information?
- 29:03Well, let's luckily, I found as much information as I could, but
- 29:07the dude had the running one swap in Is car already.
- 29:09So I was like you go lets you make it do that thing where you
- 29:13start it in a drive. So yeah, no.
- 29:14But what if you ran into like a prop you didn't run into any
- 29:17problems. Let's see.
- 29:18I don't know. So the oh Yoda I'm sorry.
- 29:21We're going to having a hard time.
- 29:23Remembering any problems that I had.
- 29:25Let him let him have let him hurt bad.
- 29:29When was the last time? A Nissan owner has ever said
- 29:33that to you whether the never ending process right?
- 29:37Hey man, he can't even think. Now I can think not.
- 29:40I mean listen to my brain is fried because of, did you make
- 29:43sure this had oil in it? This all this had a loyal.
- 29:45This had motul every oil change. Okay.
- 29:47Every election. No didn't and he seemed like I
- 29:50was about to believe, you know. I was like you you seem like a
- 29:53pretty meticulous guy sort of. Now I've become one.
- 29:56You learned it on that car. Yes their trial and error be.
- 29:59So I did have problems with that card.
- 30:00First caught on fire like sitting in my buddy Grant from
- 30:04Battle garage was visiting and we were doing work on Eric's car
- 30:07and we turn around and we're like Fuck is that?
- 30:10And then I just see some smoke coming up from My Bae and
- 30:12something shorted in the fuse box and there's a very, very
- 30:15tiny electrical fire. Just while I was sitting there,
- 30:17while I was fucking sick, that's scary.
- 30:19It was asked a was the craziest thing that's really fucking
- 30:22scary. Okay.
- 30:22Well, aside from that small, but my insurance policy, and I've
- 30:26deciphered yet because because Nico's cars right behind ya, I'm

- 34:21Like vanilla ice is here real? Like it's like I'm a he just
- 34:26walks and you could jump, couldn't be me, but it could be.
- 34:29Who knows what a my favorite scenes from that?
- 34:31I would have danced for them from.
- 34:33That's my boy was in that movie. He has a actually in real life
- 34:36he has a 50 like a Mustang. That's like that was his thing.
- 34:39Was a white fox body Mustang but no ice.
- 34:41Yeah. So in the movie had and Adam
- 34:45Sandler goes, you still got the 50 and then I Vanilla Ice is
- 34:49just like he doesn't talk, he's just like It's a cannon event.
- 34:54Yeah. And then they start ripping the
- 34:5550 like taking it off jumps and shit.
- 34:58I gotta see that movie. Yes, it's horrible, but I'll
- 35:01watch it. It's fantastic.
- 35:02Me and my shout out my boy, Smitty.
- 35:04We watch that shit every day for a month fucking schmidty.
- 35:08His mom fucking fast. Now, just kidding fucking
- 35:10schmidty. But so that beams so be bringing
- 35:16bringing this back. Now the beams engine can write
- 35:18into it. Originally came in altezza,
- 35:20right? Yeah.
- 35:21That the only thing it came in the fit.
- 35:23Yes, the 5th gen there may have been a Sita or something.
- 35:26I don't, I think it was just the up Tessa.
- 35:27Yeah, hmm. I've lost, I've forgotten all my
- 35:29beams history. So, are you gonna ask me about
- 35:31your question? I am.
- 35:32I'm going to next question. How much power does it make
- 35:34factory? Factory is 2007.
- 35:36Yes, to the crank toaster oven at the crime when I first had my
- 35:40card done. The shop dynode it and it was
- 35:43like 145 wheel and I was upset because I had just spent black
- 35:46top 20 valve money on a swap when I kind of wanted the black
- 35:50top 20 valve. Yeah.
- 35:51Would that make the same? But but it hits a limit.
- 35:55It hits a limit. Does it away my eye?
- 35:57It's a limit lie. So the number one thing that
- 35:59changed and I waited to do this. It was way too long.
- 36:03Let me see that took way too long.
- 36:07There he hit me with the claps. Come on the first thing.
- 36:12Anybody if you're listening and you've got two beams and you're
- 36:14like, what do I do with it? You hit a panic and you get that
- 36:18the wiring harness and that ECU combo and then you never have a
- 36:22problem again. That's cool.
- 36:23Seriously, like the day, I installed that with itbs that
- 36:26card, I drove it, I think to H2O and I had a hot idle problem
- 36:30where I didn't adjust the throttles properly so it's going
- 36:32to dying. Unlike as it like Idol.
- 36:35But once that you would be that guy at the traffic light
- 36:37literally. Yeah, I'll just sit there.
- 36:39I actually just put like a something under the like I'm
- 36:41screwed the not on the Stop and it just hold it on throttle
- 36:45plate open. So I was like, eleven twelve
- 36:46hundred RPM all weekend. Yeah, it's chill.
- 36:48That's a, that's a nice experienced move to make their
- 36:52look at that. Just eat Play-Doh.
- 36:54That was a jump cut. That was a big jump there so
- 36:56they make a harness for the beams engine.
- 36:58Yes he is. It's like exclusive.
- 37:00I mean you hit him up. And you say I have this this,
- 37:02this this this on my behalf. Teams.
- 37:03And he goes. You want it with or without AC.
- 37:06You're like what? Yeah.
- 37:07On you. Had that in there nicely?
- 37:10Absolutely. No KO.
- 37:11Absolutely not. No, I was about to be like, if
- 37:14get do you miss it? It's crazy.
- 37:16Like I wish you my buddy. Eric has AC in his 80s.
- 37:20He was gonna pick me up in it after this podcast, but he's,
- 37:23it's supposed to hail. So I don't know if he's gonna
- 37:24bring it out. What?
- 37:25Wait, I think. I might have met him.
- 37:27Eric, he has a great one. He's brought.
- 37:29Yeah, yeah, everyone is the black and gray two-tone.
- 37:33Now used to have the gray one that flipped at Englishtown the
- 37:35amount of sorry about the get. It was fun.
- 37:38That was a big knot will get to that.
- 37:39The amount of times I've seen that two-tone one, I'll be like
- 37:43driving at Bear Mountain and I'll just see oh yeah.
- 37:46And like at the time, I had a hatch, the black hatch, and I
- 37:52would just be like, always being like, Oh my God because to me
- 37:54that's the car that I love the most, but I gotta say after I,
- 37:59after seeing yours and like being able to sit by, it's
- 38:02something that I just Like to look at Ya, the doors are too
- 38:05long when you open them, it doesn't feel like my car when I
- 38:10open that like so long. And then like the inside, is it
- 38:14like, if it doesn't have like a fixed back, like yours, I sat in
- 38:18this other one that they had here, that was very Factory and
- 38:21I was like, this thing is like the best example.
- 38:23I'm on crack Dash, dude. I was on cracked really ever get
- 38:27any credit for that. I was like my, my crowning
- 38:29achievement in the mall in this industry.

- 39:07natural way if it's the Fast and the Furious fell ways.
- 39:10Yeah, I mean Fast and Furious. You know what's crazy is like I
- 39:13kind of hate myself as a car guy.
- 39:14Like I watched all the Fast and Furious films growing up as they
- 39:18came out, but they didn't like make me obsessed with cars.
- 39:22No, no need for speed. Did Ya Need for Speed?
- 39:25Forza, and Gran Turismo. That was was huge for me first
- 39:29fast, because you're sitting there for hours, Honda Civic.

- 39:54Yes. Yeah, it was funny and it didn't
- 39:57turn fully. It was just like this.
- 39:58Yeah, it's terrible to use miserable like was the
- 40:01controlled the controller. Make more sense in the Um, yes,
- 40:04you know, yeah, yeah, cuz we did struggle for ever because they
- 40:07expect you to sit with it on your lap and use the pedals bad.
- 40:10But yeah, I seen what you said, cutouts for the legs.
- 40:12I was like, oh my God, I know that feeling and I remember
- 40:15using those sometimes, and I'm like this, the controller's
- 40:17better than this. Yes.
- 40:18Shifter is right here, like, on the like, right next to the
- 40:21wheel. Yeah, shift it shift up and down
- 40:23up and down. Yes.
- 40:25Like, we got bit on that and then we all started watching F1
- 40:28and like 2009 2008. So, I'm like that.

- 46:56I'm just kidding. Oh my God.
- 46:57He was a V6. It was a V6.
- 46:59Yeah, that's the car. That's the car that, that bad
- 47:03kids in high school got and they would be like, wow, that's a
- 47:06nice car. It was I had the nicest car at
- 47:09school, but as I say, because I was the only person in Vineland
- 47:11who worked his entire life. Yeah.
- 47:14I like, I didn't buy it straight out cash, but I was like, oh, I
- 47:16can make a car payment on anything I want.
- 47:18And I'm looking at like cars way out of my budget, my dad's like
- 47:20yo, stick to like 10:15 Calles like straight.
- 47:23I can find something but then, as soon as I saw the charger, I
- 47:26was like, that's the most beautiful.
- 47:29The most gorgeous car in the fucking world.
- 47:32It's so the bodies are. I didn't even yeah.
- 47:35Goddamn beautiful. Is it?
- 47:43A Hemi I don't even care about what engine was in.
- 47:46Yeah, I want there was a there was a to at, it was like some
- 47:49used car dealer. There was a red RT.
- 47:51It was V8 but had like rips eat. It would beat up and had like 70
- 47:55que Mi. My dad was like you're not
- 47:56getting that fucking car, it's gonna break on you.
- 47:57You the I was out leaves. Look a good deal will see what a
- 48:00broken on my car. It was a 2007 SXT, Dodge Charger
- 48:03V6 and had 20,000 miles on it. It was really it was really good
- 48:08for his car, wasn't fucking brand new car and I got it for
- 48:11like not even 15 K. Which like I mean, maybe because
- 48:13I'm thinking about car prices today but that's like, that's a
- 48:16good deal. Yeah, that's like you getting a
- 48:18literally, like some sort of like Hellcat looking 14 like
- 48:22that price. Good, I pulled up to school with
- 48:24that and then no girls talk to me still, which is kind of
- 48:27crazy. Won't.
- 48:29He will like and I was like, no. My family's broke.
- 48:34So how did you? So how did you like go do it Evo
- 48:39after that? I where was that?
- 48:40I drove to the dealership and I traded it in.
- 48:42So you were just like I'm done with this.
- 48:43Yeah, fucking idiot. II had that car for like three
- 48:47or four years as I liked? So I got my car that car when I
- 48:50was like 7 to, I think it was 18 when I got that car and I
- 48:54realized when I bought that car, I was like okay.
- 48:56I was looking at a picture of it.
- 48:58The first car I wanted. Do you guys remember the first
- 49:01car you wanted? When you I first realize you
- 49:03could come, I'll tell you my up after after you I don't even
- 49:06want to fucking say mine it was. So it was so like I had just got
- 49:10into cars, I was like oh I can get, so this is what I could
- 49:12afford this. I want this Dodge Caravan.
- 49:14This thing looks sick. It was so weird.
- 49:16It was like a newer one. It was boxy.
- 49:18I was like, I kind of want it because it's big.
- 49:19I can fit all my friends in it and then I saw the charger and I
- 49:22was like, oh wait a minute. No, now I get it.
- 49:24I get cars or thing that you can get to like so you were just
- 49:28looking at like the utilitarian version.
- 49:31I was until I saw the Charge a lot of people.
- 49:33Mine wasn't a Dodge Caravan. It was actually an Integra
- 49:36that's cool. Yeah, you're cool.
- 49:37You're cool. I want to Integra, but then,
- 49:39like mine was a Jeep Wrangler or a Hummer H1 see?
- 49:42Those makes sense because those are like their own want Malcolm.
- 49:45I wanted a Hummer so fucking bad.
- 49:46Yeah. Right was no chance, huh?
- 49:48Again one of those know you Malcolm, I thought that those
- 49:51are cool. Now Malcolm you have to think
- 49:52about it. Like if you were a kid that
- 49:54you're thinking way back like like no you don't.
- 49:56I want one right now. No, no that man.
- 49:58Oh no. I mean like what Nico saying is
- 50:00like more like like for me. Me, I'll tell you the exact
- 50:03time. And exact reason why I was an
- 50:04Integra. One time I was sitting in the
- 50:06bus, it was a kindergarten field trip to that weird Museum in
- 50:09Paramus or whatever chill out. I I you know exactly what I'm
- 50:14talking about hating that is you was when you talk about the yes
- 50:21it was like a kid museum. We went there as a field, trip
- 50:24you play in the sand and shit. I was playing with that
- 50:26excavator. Shit all day.
- 50:27Oh that kind of just brought back a weird memory.
- 50:30What? Tell me.
- 50:31What your where is that? I just told you my guy.
- 50:33It's interesting. What is it called?
- 50:36Fuck. If I know what a told.
- 50:37You the name by now? Holy shit.
- 50:39Dude, I definitely played that with that same excavator.
- 50:41Yeah. All car, guys.
- 50:42Do a funny. Not become too far.
- 50:46I gotta figure this out. But anyway, I went there.
- 50:48And we're on the bus and my teacher.
- 50:51My parents always used to talk to my teacher and they talked to
- 50:54her and they said, like oh, he's really good with cars or
- 50:56whatever I was in kindergarten and how could, how do they know
- 50:59you're really good with cars. When you're in kindergarten?
- 51:01I saw my ex Debate. I've lived read ate it, like, it
- 51:04was the only thing I played with it was one of my parents knew.
- 51:06It'd keep me quiet. Like, there's one thing.
- 51:09So I'll give it to you. I'm on the bus.
- 51:11This is a core memory. If I'm remembering this clearly
- 51:13I'm on the bus and a fucking Integra, like it was black.
- 51:19It was like in the left lane and I was sitting in the bus and my
- 51:21teachers like what kind of car is that what kind of cars out,
- 51:23what kind of girls that pointing random cards out and that's
- 51:26creating trying to pass the bus for 30 minutes?
- 51:32Right past, like, it's right next to me, good and fucking
- 51:35like, and I'm like, oh, that's an integral.
- 51:37But it's a GSR blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, because of the
- 51:40little badge and like the facelift and like the wheels and
- 51:42you're perfect and then your teacher was like, yeah, a hard
- 51:46time, believing this yeah. Grade fourth grade.
- 52:01I want that car. I want it, and I got it.
- 52:03And guess what? It didn't really live up to the
- 52:05hype. Yeah, the engine was glorious
- 52:08and like that, but it just didn't drift, so I didn't like
- 52:11it. So, you knew all the specs, I
- 52:14didn't know here's your before here I can I know all this shit
- 52:17on the outside of it. I didn't know a lot about engine
- 52:20we, I lived in like I grew up in Jersey City and playing with
- 52:24like bicycles. Still, like I wasn't anywhere
- 52:28near to learn anything about what was in it.
- 52:31Like I seen engine Bays on Need for Speed.
- 52:33That's it. I don't really know what about
- 52:35me. That was that noise?
- 52:37Because that's the shit. You're that's, that's that what
- 52:39I'm experiencing. I'm looking at it.
- 52:41I'm hearing it. Like, that's pretty good.
- 52:45That's all right. I just whip that out of nowhere.
- 52:47I didn't practice that, he hears it hears, a noise.
- 52:50No one can never replicate a1j. Yeah, you can just wait, wait,
- 52:55can we go off the air? So I can try this for like three
- 52:57minutes. Do like a Hoover vacuum?
- 52:59It's, you can hear it in your head, right?
- 53:01I'm really good with like this - I know.
- 53:02I know you're me. Do an F1 car.
- 53:03You guys just practice? I'm sure the people love it.
- 53:05Yeah, I don't know, I can't do a one-day sound because it does
- 53:08this like this. There's too much induction noise
- 53:12on that. It's like it's very like that.
- 53:19It kind of stays close. That's the kind of shit that
- 53:21that about cars that I like that's a notable.
- 53:24To me. I used to do a really good
- 53:25rotary. Hold on.
- 53:26Well, almost. That's all right.
- 53:31All right. All right.
- 53:32It's turning on its turning on its turning.
- 53:36Cold start. Come on, you stupid.
- 53:38Try to do it on, do it. You don't have to try.
- 53:40Wow, everybody. Everybody just signed off that
- 53:47rotaries weird-ass Mr. H, but no, that's that's the, that was
- 53:51the core memory that I had that. That made me go.
- 53:54Oh, shit, I would like to drive that kind of car one day.
- 53:57But then, here was the problem with that, okay?
- 53:59And here's kindergarten, you couldn't fucking dry for 20 more
- 54:01years. Yeah.
- 54:02And, and I looked, dude, it it was, that's in summation.
- 54:06That's where I'm going with this.
- 54:07I feel Like, all my life. I was just waiting to get my
- 54:10license so I could drive something.
- 54:12And then when I remember, I got my license and I was like, well
- 54:15what do I do now? I didn't I wasn't like, I'm
- 54:18going to go race this thing or do I just?
- 54:20I was just then after that was just doing, I see I'm I was
- 54:23actually strangely opposite. I didn't fucking care about
- 54:25getting my license. Me go there until I found out
- 54:27like, oh, I can get a car's. All I can have on him doing.
- 54:30I was like on you my license now.
- 54:32It's all I wanted man. Like it was Freedom like being
- 54:36able to drive the car. Like being on a, on a real-life
- 54:39go-kart track everywhere. Yeah, that's how I treated my
- 54:42Evo. I might hold of my race track
- 54:44either be. I was full, I'm in like made my
- 54:47heel toe technique got so I was getting I was getting so many
- 54:49compliments whenever I go to the back track days now.
- 54:51They're really good really quick.
- 54:52I was like, dude. I practice all day every day in
- 54:55my car. Are you originally from?
- 54:56I've you been in South Jersey? Yeah.
- 54:58Like born and raised. Yes sir.
- 55:00God damn I'm so fucking time. I thought you live in
- 55:02Pennsylvania. What made you think?
- 55:06I don't know. As he look like a Pennsylvanian
- 55:09I just thought I thought most of you guys are from Pennsylvania.
- 55:12No just Diego. Okay, that's probably why.
- 55:14And by most of you guys I mean Auto real dream.
- 55:16Yeah. What do you think?
- 55:17I meant nothing. We haven't even talked about
- 55:20drifting and stuff. We have not even riffing.
- 55:23No, but I love it. It's so here's the nice thing.
- 55:26Because this is going to be a nice little little side.
- 55:29Note into drifting right here. You ready for this?
- 55:31I'm ready. Come on, mate.
- 55:33You turned really red noses or like a rotary?
- 55:39That's it. Holy shit.
- 55:45That was pretty good. Yeah, you know, I was like, you
- 55:48know, I can't do that until I just did that.
- 55:49Yeah, that's not the rotary noise.
- 55:51I was good at, I'm speechless right now.
- 55:53Yeah, Karl's literally come on the headphones right now and I'm
- 55:56like, yeah, if I just started, I could I already started being
- 56:00able to smell it, you know what I'm saying?
- 56:01Like, yeah. That's the again, for another
- 56:03part about cars that excites me. That's why the 1 J is very
- 56:06important to me. That's why.
- 56:07He's like to Turbo the fucking GE.
- 56:10Stop. Fucking telling me that.
- 56:11Did you go to Seventh Day last year?
- 56:13Did I see ya? I only at the park part, so you
- 56:15saw my FD. Yes.
- 56:18I was going to talk about that briefly, but you only had that
- 56:19for so long. Yeah, that actually car that car
- 56:21almost hurts more to go. Wait, like, I don't even
- 56:24remember this car, dude. That's where you got the picture
- 56:26of me pointing from for the intro.
- 56:28That's him. That's why this car though.
- 56:31He had a red if I had it. I bought it.
- 56:34We years it. The beginning of 22 want, but
- 56:37you had your Corolla the same time?
- 56:38No, I sold the Corolla and then I bought the FD 0, and everyone
- 56:42thought you'd gave up on drifting, is that what exactly?
- 56:44And by everyone? I mean so was your intention to
- 56:47do? I don't know who else I wanted?
- 56:50I wanted to have like a sick Highway car.
- 56:52I wanted it to have the interior tune that made you feel like you
- 56:56judge. It was right hand drive so I
- 56:57wanted that like piece of Japan. I could rip on the highway
- 57:00something. I realized that my highways
- 57:02where I live are not the highwomen For that.
- 57:05If I moved up here, maybe I would have quit.
- 57:06Why? Why South Jersey sideways?
- 57:08Are the rough? The rough.
- 57:09They don't like it. We don't take care of them.
- 57:10Yeah. I mean they're all New Jersey is
- 57:12Growers. Yeah, press way.
- 57:13I used to be an e and I used to be in Atlantic City.
- 57:16A 35-minute Expressway is good, but there are so many I'm 13 and
- 57:20I don't, I don't actually stayed on their, my roommate in it's
- 57:23very also doesn't speed on there.
- 57:24It's as a bad place to drive but it is a good stretch of highway
- 57:28when you're late to a to the Borgata, you got.
- 57:30You gotta go, you big acguy when I went to school Cool down
- 57:34there. That's, that's how I know where
- 57:35Vineland is. Yeah, my buddy lives right in
- 57:38that area. The other gambling,
- 57:40Franklinville, he lives. So yeah, it's like 10 minutes
- 57:42from me but no, yeah, that was there wasn't any real anything
- 57:44to do. Rowan was still pretty small but
- 57:46I heard now they added a bunch of different bars and I'm like,
- 57:48what the fuck. But yeah he was cool.
- 57:51The Ft was like I wanted it to be like a nice invest like car I
- 57:54can invest into and then like in the future get a bag from it.
- 57:57So what did happen. Yeah.
- 57:59What was it? What made you hire way.
- 58:00I the car was like the one thing I always wanted.
- 58:04For my Corolla that I never got. I did have it at the end, the
- 58:07tail end of my ownership. If I wanted a car, could get in.
- 58:10I know if I turn the key, it's going to start right up.
- 58:12I know I can drive it here and there and there, I wanted to
- 58:15enjoy a car that was like a rotary.
- 58:17If I don't know if that was like, sarcastic or 90, because,
- 58:22okay, I do, like, I like everything, the rotary stands
- 58:26for it. Yes, it's grown without fun.
- 58:28Probably the coolest. I mean, it's, it is very
- 58:31important engine. Like, you know, I mean, every
- 58:32engine every, Busting engine. That's got Pistons is the same
- 58:35thing as in essence, there's a piston and a rapist in a ring
- 58:38and you know, we're not but the rotary was like cool and it
- 58:41stood for everything that Leah Japanese car should stand for,
- 58:45which is like Innovation, whatever, we're not going to get
- 58:48into the Ft like that. It was it we all know about ft.
- 58:50So so you know what it it gave you a little bit of a problem.
- 58:55You're used to, you know what, surprisingly not really.
- 58:56So there was, I did drive it too, it overheated a lot, it
- 59:00would get like hot and I know he is the killer of the rotary
- 59:03engine. So I drove it to the atom LZ
- 59:05event in 2021 and I literally got like English towns, like an
- 59:09hour and 45 for me. And you know how when you like
- 59:11get into English town near at the quick check, I don't go the
- 59:14way I come from the back. I know exactly and you and
- 59:17you're going through the know that way.
- 59:19Yeah. You go through all the houses
- 59:20and stuff and there's a company has its the for other side.
- 59:23The other side is the other side.
- 59:24Oh no. You said an hour and 45 from
- 59:28Utah and I'm like, damn. You're so you're in Delaware.
- 59:30Yeah, right. I'm like an hour, an hour from
- 59:33Delaware. Yeah, I logistically.
- 59:35I don't know where I'm at. Yeah.
- 59:36I'm like what kind of weird part of so that lmlc event was so
- 59:40compact. It was insane.
- 59:41I got to that normally I just zoom through that stat
- 59:44regression area idling. Just yeah, there was people
- 59:47backed up from the entrance of each town all the way past those
- 59:50houses, like a mile and a half, you just watching that temp
- 59:52need. Yes, I turned around.
- 59:53I drove all the way there. I said you know, I can't I can't
- 59:56sit here turn around and went home and even my it wasn't mile
- 59:58from the gate. Why did why did it do that?
- 1:00:00But um, I don't know. The cooling system seemed to
- 1:00:03have been It was really hot day. I had the AC on like the car was
- 1:00:07nice. But I mean, yeah, I think they
- 1:00:08ended up going back. Did you go back?
- 1:00:10No, I didn't know. I went home that LZ event.
- 1:00:14Today is not the day, didn't we? We were there.
- 1:00:16Yeah, we had to be. That was where the GTR I was at
- 1:00:18a daddy with with the no ft. That's what I think I saw.
- 1:00:22That's where we saw it. Yeah, that's real, the outs,
- 1:00:24right? For a lefty.
- 1:00:25But so you got rid of that and then now, you know, but what
- 1:00:28happened with the cooling system, just sold it?
- 1:00:30No. So I want to know what the hell
- 1:00:32is going. I did a service.
- 1:00:33To it and I think it just needed.
- 1:00:36I just needed some cooling upgrades in general.
- 1:00:38I don't know there. They get tired.
- 1:00:40They get hot. They get exhausted.
- 1:00:42I like a rotary. One of these days, but what it
- 1:00:44was was like, even around town, it was good.
- 1:00:46It was just long drives in the heat if I Stood Still at.
- 1:00:48Yeah, you know, so what freaked me out about that car was when I
- 1:00:53drove it home, that there was a one of the turbo outlet switch
- 1:00:57just leaking oil, pretty badly. And I kept looking at this
- 1:01:00college. If I want to drift this, I need
- 1:01:01to get rid of the twin turbos and then you do a single turbo.
- 1:01:03I need like ten bands and I don't want to do this thing.
- 1:01:06I did with the Corolla, where I put all my fucking money, into
- 1:01:08the Corolla to drift my, like life savings, which a lot of
- 1:01:12people have done. So I made some, I made some
- 1:01:14Headway when I saw the Corolla. I actually sold it for a good
- 1:01:18price and then in the owner who has it taken great care of it.
- 1:01:21I love it, I'm very strict, he has it.
- 1:01:22And then I spent, I got the FDA for such a good price that I was
- 1:01:25like if I leave it, how it is now.
- 1:01:26And I don't invest a ton of money into it.
- 1:01:28Yeah, this car will be like a great piece in 10 years, it's
- 1:01:32like completely stock. I just need to make the Things,
- 1:01:34right? I shouldn't drift this car and
- 1:01:36then at that time, real dream had taken a break because Diego
- 1:01:39sold. His car said, move to LA.
- 1:01:41And David was just me and David Bob, but I don't have a drift
- 1:01:44car. Damn, it was joke.
- 1:01:46Dave, just damn that sound that you can subscribe to drive a
- 1:01:49little bit but so so Otto real dream formed when you already
- 1:01:55had the Corolla. Oh yeah, we me.
- 1:01:57Diego and said, started real dream, 20, the end of 2018.
- 1:02:02They 2019, I think our first event was a spirit event in
- 1:02:06November. I think 2019, I remember when
- 1:02:08you guys were a of us. Yes, fun.
- 1:02:12Are we talking about real time? We talk about the FDA where you
- 1:02:14guys want to go. Where do you want to go
- 1:02:18clatters? I think I answered the Ft Quest.
- 1:02:20I sold. Yeah, so the idea of the FDA, so
- 1:02:23I sold it because it was one of those cars that I had a hard
- 1:02:26time starting, not all the time, rotary is always do have a hard
- 1:02:29time starting starting and it I realized with that, I was like,
- 1:02:32okay, this rotary engine is cool, not what I want for me.
- 1:02:36You know what I mean? So I was like, I can get a good
- 1:02:38pic. I gotta flip that card was a
- 1:02:39good bag. And then with that money, I
- 1:02:42bought the jzx and I waited a year and I just got in April,
- 1:02:45okay. Now now you were trying to get
- 1:02:48back to Drifting with the correct.
- 1:02:50Diego, Diego. Just got to do be drifting to do
- 1:02:53be drifting that thing very nice.
- 1:02:55I love this car so sounds so nice.
- 1:02:57Diego got the Chaser David Bob obviously is David Bob and he
- 1:03:01doesn't ever stop doing all the cool shit.
- 1:03:03So he was ready to go said was like yeah I'm settled.
- 1:03:06Now in La I can do the bicoastal thing we can do drift event,
- 1:03:09will defy, basically focus on Final bow and like big events
- 1:03:12whenever said can make it. Yeah.
- 1:03:15Diego bought. The Chaser David Bob.
- 1:03:18Fucked it up. I'm just getting broke Diego's
- 1:03:21heart. I'm not kidding.
- 1:03:22It actually happened. Well no, no, they they didn't
- 1:03:25event. They were Bob spawn.
- 1:03:26Diego hit them. There's yeah.
- 1:03:29And that, like, sorry guys, I'm gonna blow you guys off it
- 1:03:33happens, but yeah, we don't need.
- 1:03:35It is what it is. It comes, it's part of the
- 1:03:37territory. It is part of the sport and
- 1:03:40Diego, kind of stopped for a little bit.
- 1:03:42Take a little break, as I would have as well.
- 1:03:44We're going on. Facts are correct.
- 1:03:47Yeah Harley guy but so then I said, okay I bought this car so
- 1:03:51I can drift jzx twin drift with my homey and we can do real
- 1:03:55dream stuff. Yeah and then it was just me and
- 1:03:57David Bob again. Yeah, fuck.
- 1:03:59So I was like, okay, Jake. I'll give you time you'll be
- 1:04:01back as a common thing that happens in drift clubs.
- 1:04:03Oh yes. Yes, it's very hard to keep
- 1:04:06everyone on the same page, right?
- 1:04:07Let's say we're all getting older, we all have
- 1:04:09responsibilities. Sort of, that's the hard part is
- 1:04:11being able to when you I think about that a lot now.
- 1:04:15Say you see like a big Team? All of them had to align.
- 1:04:18Yeah, dude, yeah. Everywhere, the bigger, the team
- 1:04:21went doing were unrealistic. It's harder.
- 1:04:23That is to do like, work, schedules, personal life, like
- 1:04:27Financial. How about just, how about, just
- 1:04:29generally keeping an interest in the same thing?
- 1:04:31It's tough. Yes, by stands hard enough right
- 1:04:34now. It is kind of hard.
- 1:04:35Sometimes is such a such a sport where if you can't like, like,
- 1:04:39do you guys go to drift events that you can't drive because you
- 1:04:42want to or because you're doing something there?
- 1:04:45I've been to a drift event where I want to drive but I can't
- 1:04:49because I was doing something to the car.
- 1:04:51We're all right. Did you do is your car on jack
- 1:04:53stands. It's on jack stands and it's at
- 1:04:55home. See I have gone to support my
- 1:04:57friends drift events but it's drifting is such a sport where
- 1:05:00if you can't partake in it, I better stay away from.
- 1:05:03If I didn't have a business I would agree with you.
- 1:05:04Yeah. So because that makes you just
- 1:05:06want to be in it. There's no choice.
- 1:05:08You're going to be in it. I mean, yeah.
- 1:05:09You got to drift event. You watch people drive.
- 1:05:11I want to drive. Yeah.
- 1:05:12Yeah. And I don't like going to drift
- 1:05:14events in watching. Right.
- 1:05:15It's tough. So it's such a sport where if
- 1:05:17you can't afford to do something to do it, it kills you
- 1:05:21experience your first drift or something like that.
- 1:05:22I honestly think it was crispy and Chris's car, because he
- 1:05:25would always just randomly, be like in a z like, like poop out
- 1:05:29Z. Yeah.
- 1:05:31And it's like, oh yeah. That was some people like going
- 1:05:35to drift events and just watching though.
- 1:05:36Yeah, she looks like - like being able to some people that
- 1:05:40well, I'm just kidding. If you never drifted.
- 1:05:43A different. Yeah, then kind of do it.
- 1:05:45Yeah, I get it. Yeah, I mean, I've I go to
- 1:05:47plenty of events where my car is not there, but whenever I go,
- 1:05:50I'm just, I'm usually they motivate me after the, I go home
- 1:05:52and I gotta get my car fucking, yes, that's what that is.
- 1:05:54But then you look at your wallet, or you look at like your
- 1:05:56situation. You're like fuck.
- 1:05:58Yeah, this is this is so hard to like, so, right now I feel like
- 1:06:03what I was going to say is it's getting a, it is hard to align
- 1:06:06things together with your, which embodies and your teammates.
- 1:06:09But right now, at this age I feel like Like of drip, not not
- 1:06:15a, not your physical age, but I mean like this, this age of
- 1:06:18drifting that everybody is in that like, your got to be pretty
- 1:06:23passionate about it. Like okay, and so expensive.
- 1:06:26And so since everybody is individually, passionate about
- 1:06:29the same thing, that one goal makes it a little bit.
- 1:06:33It's easier to empathize and like come up with Solutions
- 1:06:37about shit because everybody's on the same page of like, okay,
- 1:06:40we're trying to do this one thing up here.
- 1:06:42Which is true. You should like the passion
- 1:06:45like, like you, like when I think of, like, passion and
- 1:06:48drifting, I think of David Bob, like, the, the amount of work
- 1:06:52that, that dude does for everybody to keep drifting and
- 1:06:55for himself to keep drifting. It's like, one of my biggest
- 1:06:58Inspirations. I love David Bob so fucking much
- 1:07:01and he still hasn't been on this pocket Daisy.
- 1:07:04Isn't he down the road, man? It's a way.
- 1:07:06I know I told him I was on his door right now.
- 1:07:10Yeah. He does.
- 1:07:13So he's so selfless. Like it's like oh you like who
- 1:07:16wants to go to a Drifter and when you have a nice car and you
- 1:07:19don't have a kit because it's in 15 pieces because your friend
- 1:07:21David Bob spun out in front of you a final about for like you
- 1:07:23did when we drove. Yeah.
- 1:07:24But then why fix it? But he's immediately like, oh,
- 1:07:26just drop your shit off and I'll fix it.
- 1:07:27How much do you want? Done to worry about it?
- 1:07:29Fuck you. You don't worry about it bro.
- 1:07:30You just did tunnel. What you'd like?
- 1:07:31Yeah. I've hours worth of work.
- 1:07:32Yeah. And that and that work is you
- 1:07:35could charge a million dollars. Yeah.
- 1:07:36Should be it ain't no way anybody could have a good
- 1:07:40system? Yeah I do.
- 1:07:42Oh David Bob Moore. Money though than he's taken
- 1:07:44from me. Yeah.
- 1:07:45But in terms of passion like everything I've ever done my
- 1:07:48whole life skateboarding, I wanted to be a pro skateboarder.
- 1:07:51Anything I've ever like paintball, I wanted to become a
- 1:07:53pro paintball. They don't even does a really
- 1:07:55fun exist, but everything I've ever did, I wanted to F1 was
- 1:07:58like two people died. I feel like it's very, it's a
- 1:08:01sad. It's a stupid sport.
- 1:08:03It's a very wasteful. Don't like it.
- 1:08:04It's fun. It's probably one of most fun
- 1:08:06Sports you can do as a recreational Legacy recreational
- 1:08:09thing but like you know, like the competition.
- 1:08:11Yes. Yeah.
- 1:08:13Yeah, the the competition that's I'm a very competitive.
- 1:08:15Like, I'm obsessive and competitive when it comes to
- 1:08:19something that I like fun stuff and, you know, like, I heard
- 1:08:23paintballs kind of like dead, right?
- 1:08:24That's pretty definitely died. I was in it when it was probably
- 1:08:27at its peak like Snot, maybe. Yeah, eight years ago or
- 1:08:30something like that. There was a house the fingers I
- 1:08:37never actually played paintball, I was at Airsoft guy.
- 1:08:39There's always fun. Let's go play paintball one day
- 1:08:41I haven't played in like that's a good company.
- 1:08:43Building experience the faction, paintball outing.
- 1:08:45All right, fuck it. You know I one of my last jobs
- 1:08:47they flew me out to company trip.
- 1:08:50And then paintballing was the one activity?
- 1:08:52And you know what I did? Would you do?
- 1:08:54The CEO is there and I shot him right in the neck with a knife.
- 1:08:57That was a, it was a lady. I shot her right in the face.
- 1:09:00Like right on the mask on that guys.
- 1:09:02That's funny because I don't work there anymore but
- 1:09:05ironically mad because ironically play No, but you're
- 1:09:07supposed to the CEO then sent like they're company-wide email
- 1:09:11thanking them named me in there, right in there for shooting me.
- 1:09:13Thanks for shooting me. Hey, Carl.
- 1:09:16Look out for that one or something like made a joke like
- 1:09:19that. Then ironically been fired your
- 1:09:20a month and a half later. I'm gone.
- 1:09:24Well, so in terms of repository not believe you real story.
- 1:09:30I believe that when I don't believe this shit about you and
- 1:09:31kindergarten knowing what a GSR was but then I believe exhaust
- 1:09:34fired later. Yeah, I believe that, but but
- 1:09:39back to passion in Motorsports. And yeah, the one thing that I
- 1:09:44like when I started, when I got into cars, I was like, yeah, I
- 1:09:47want to be a racing driver. I want to I didn't think
- 1:09:49everyone was definitely not something you can do, but you
- 1:09:52thought you were going to do that.
- 1:09:53I thought I was going to be like a racing driver.
- 1:09:55Not like I was like you do not like I thought I'm gonna be a
- 1:09:57racing driver like I want to get a car.
- 1:09:59I want to start racing I was inspired by 1:30.
- 1:10:01Yo drifting is the one thing I've done in my life that I
- 1:10:04didn't want to be like good at. I just wanted to do it because
- 1:10:07Cuz when I learned about it, I was like, this sounds like a
- 1:10:09cheap fun way to do Motorsports. I just wanted.
- 1:10:11Yeah, on track as I had like that.
- 1:10:13Like, the pipeline I brought up earlier, I think you could do,
- 1:10:15skateboarding and extreme sports and stuff BMX.
- 1:10:17You have a Need for Speed like literally in you.
- 1:10:20It's an eight. Yeah, and when you when it wakes
- 1:10:22up your like drifting is the best way to satiate that your
- 1:10:26fucking foot is flat and you're making noise and you're smelling
- 1:10:28smoke and you're like that's that's that, that was it for me.
- 1:10:31When I realized I just want to do it.
- 1:10:32I don't want to like be really good at it and it's probably the
- 1:10:35farthest I've ever gotten. In any of my like recreational
- 1:10:38activities. Yeah, I think it just it
- 1:10:40snowballs because like Well it just snowballs into something
- 1:10:44bigger. Hence the term snowball but like
- 1:10:47skateboarding. Right?
- 1:10:48Because I skateboarded and when I say skateboard, a was kind of
- 1:10:51loose but I can still kind of ride it.
- 1:10:53Like in skateboarding. You it's like introductory.
- 1:10:56Okay. You want to get a deck trucks
- 1:10:59bearings Wheels? It's just like building a car
- 1:11:01Hardware. You want to Pick Your Parts you
- 1:11:03want and then analyze it and you personalize it to your shit
- 1:11:06like, oh okay. I want like a want to 8 and I
- 1:11:08want to 8 wide deck. Okay.
- 1:11:10Like that person has a seven and a half but it doesn't flip the
- 1:11:13Way that I like it got a size 12.
- 1:11:14So let me let me get angled like okay cool.
- 1:11:17And then like oh these trucks. Like what the hell are these.
- 1:11:20I only had independent trucks and like the bearings and shit
- 1:11:24that shit. That's why I feel like that we
- 1:11:27are the way that we. Oh yeah, it's right.
- 1:11:28There is they're all directly related.
- 1:11:31It's crazy way in the craziest ways.
- 1:11:33I mean, it's awesome. Yeah.
- 1:11:34That but yeah like in terms of passion I think drifting like
- 1:11:40that's the reason I'm still doing it is because Not like it
- 1:11:43doesn't. It's taken all the past 10
- 1:11:46years, it's taken all my time, all my money.
- 1:11:47All like, you know, we've all. I mean, you own a shop.
- 1:11:50Whoa, lead for other people like he literally, but like talking
- 1:11:53too loud right now. I'll let me back up so it's like
- 1:11:58yeah, like you know, you built you build your machine, the best
- 1:12:02you can and then you test it with your friends and then I
- 1:12:06just think that like there's it's just such a great place for
- 1:12:09like personal growth and yeah it's pretty neat you ever have I
- 1:12:13thought of it like that ever had family.
- 1:12:14Family always ask me. I'm sure.
- 1:12:16I don't know if anybody here could else can relate but
- 1:12:18they're always like so how do you win?
- 1:12:21Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 1:12:21Every time and I'll be racing this weekend.
- 1:12:24No yeah I say yeah I just say I just say yes.
- 1:12:26Now I just say yes now and then them and I just go you ever seen
- 1:12:29figure skating. Just like that.
- 1:12:32Interesting? No I don't say that.
- 1:12:34But walks away. So so you're actually.
- 1:12:37The thing is it is literally like that.
- 1:12:39Yeah, but it's just what I usually say is it's like
- 1:12:42skateboarding competitions. Vision.
- 1:12:43Yeah, yeah. I say it's an exhibition.
- 1:12:46Well, it's a competitive thing. That's not a team sport, but can
- 1:12:49be, which is cool. Oh, you're talking like, just
- 1:12:52Grassroots. Like, oh, who did you win this
- 1:12:53week? Yeah, actually happens.
- 1:12:55Are you winning? So, okay, I thought you meant,
- 1:12:57like, I think that drifting to explain it to somebody who
- 1:13:00doesn't watch it like, my aunt or Uncle.
- 1:13:02I'm like, oh, it's like an exhibition.
- 1:13:03You want to show? You're the best like best
- 1:13:05looking, like you drive the best together like they're like, oh
- 1:13:08what is driving us to get car show?
- 1:13:10And then I'll show them like a video like that video.
- 1:13:12Like the Is greeting shit or something, or super D where it's
- 1:13:15like high-level attention to detail.
- 1:13:18Final bout that kind of stuff. It is kind of stupid.
- 1:13:21When you think about it, drifting is so fucking stupid.
- 1:13:23It's like, because now we can in my headlight is such a privilege
- 1:13:26sport, but also like in terms of Motorsports it's really like a I
- 1:13:29guess it's just like we're all in charge of like where it goes.
- 1:13:32Yeah. Because like most individually
- 1:13:34be like this. Like, most most all motor sports
- 1:13:36are people putting way more money than anyone who's drifted
- 1:13:40like yeah. Like I think I can explain The
- 1:13:43Drifters. They don't understand.
- 1:13:44You can take like the at like the year cost for a pro FD
- 1:13:48driver and like kids that do stock car shit with their
- 1:13:51parents spending that in a season.
- 1:13:52Like over 100 150 km and Drifters look like so much
- 1:13:56money. Yeah.
- 1:13:57And like I'm yeah, it's expensive.
- 1:13:58Your and it's wasteful like I hate I used to.
- 1:14:01I so an ex-girlfriend. I want to break.
- 1:14:04She's not listening is fine. I had this girlfriend who was
- 1:14:06like, what do you guys do with the tires?
- 1:14:07And she was very eco-friendly and like, oh, that's our special
- 1:14:10friend was like listen honey, sit down.
- 1:14:13Don't hate me but I think they just go into the ocean.
- 1:14:15Yeah, really night next to the batteries are right next to the
- 1:14:18batteries. It's wasteful Dumbo next to my
- 1:14:20shit, right next to the fucking Titan.
- 1:14:24Sub too soon, good. No, not soon enough.
- 1:14:27Okay. All right.
- 1:14:28I do want to talk podcast some time, but we got lime.
- 1:14:31Sure. How much time do we have?
- 1:14:33However, long, you want, man, I will be have definitely enough
- 1:14:35time to talk about time. Okay.
- 1:14:37I have a whole folder of tasteless memes, but yeah, I
- 1:14:39mean drifting, I don't know. I always thought it was cheap
- 1:14:42but it ain't havin. It is.
- 1:14:43Relatively is very cheap expensive.
- 1:14:44It's relatively very cheap. I mean, I would like now, maybe
- 1:14:47it's a little different. I used to.
- 1:14:49I used to think it was way, way, way more.
- 1:14:54I must say, yeah. What's the initial investment
- 1:14:56going into going to the track, like, being able to be at the
- 1:15:00track to me, like, having your helmet on in your actual car?
- 1:15:05You're like, oh right? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 1:15:07Like shit. Usually costs a lot, more money
- 1:15:09to put a helmet on and drive a vehicle as aggressive as
- 1:15:11ridiculous. Like, you know, we Will two
- 1:15:13wheel race environment. Oh my God, we which I know I
- 1:15:17know you got always to tell you that.
- 1:15:19I do it. I drove a list, race, a Dodge
- 1:15:23Caravan, haha. Yeah, I drew a lemons race like
- 1:15:26three weeks ago. This is why Carl was trying to
- 1:15:28get me to do. One of these reasons.
- 1:15:35I wouldn't be able to stop talking but relatively like even
- 1:15:38that event like you know, I spent way more to drive that
- 1:15:41event, then I've ever Spent on a drift event.
- 1:15:44I think, I mean besides, like, final bout because you have to
- 1:15:47travel and you have a whole week of stuff that, but like for one,
- 1:15:50I did two days in the lemons event and the amount I paid.
- 1:15:54I was like, regretful. I was like, damn, I really did
- 1:15:56you do? It was like, 200 bucks.
- 1:15:59Well, he hasn't, which isn't bad.
- 1:16:00I don't I drift event for me, in with the Corolla, for the past
- 1:16:04five years is entry. Apparently drinks, Twin Cities
- 1:16:10to jeez. My, I always had tires.
- 1:16:12I mean, of course, you factor the tires in, but like, I would
- 1:16:15pay entry and I would do an oil change like every few events and
- 1:16:18I never had any problems with the car.
- 1:16:20So like it is the initial investment and then you just
- 1:16:24crawl it in burnt. I go I would I would make a set
- 1:16:26of tires. Last like two, three events.
- 1:16:27Yeah so I want to make a good decision whatever was for the
- 1:16:33weekend feel like lately, like the cars that At Miyagi and AJ
- 1:16:38have and everything. It's about a thousand eight
- 1:16:40hundred to a thousand dollars to drift.
- 1:16:42Some of them even five. What?
- 1:16:43Yeah, that's why tires. Oh yeah.
- 1:16:45Tires if have been fee here let me tell you.
- 1:16:48So. So I'm with me.
- 1:16:50I want to smoke more tires but my car.
- 1:16:51Yeah, even this car doesn't I went, I have the same Bellino's
- 1:16:55on the rear that I drove both days of final about with and the
- 1:16:58private day. I did it Fuji.
- 1:16:59That's what I do is crazy. That's what I don't get.
- 1:17:01Like, I'm with you on what you're buying, I'm with you on
- 1:17:04this list. Okay.
- 1:17:05I don't really bring more than up.
- 1:17:07Here. It's rare that.
- 1:17:08I mean going to burn through a we suck.
- 1:17:10No, no, we're all right, we're all right, we're all right.
- 1:17:14But that if you're alright you suck is drifting is easy.
- 1:17:16You should be good at it drifting just exactly easy.
- 1:17:19Yeah. Drifting is an animal.
- 1:17:24Alright NEOS. Not it.
- 1:17:26No but um no it really is though, quick set like little
- 1:17:30side note. It's subjective.
- 1:17:31It's really like we're pioneering it right now.
- 1:17:34Somebody could do some cool shit tomorrow with a drift car and
- 1:17:38everybody would be doing that same thing.
- 1:17:40I think drifting's been pioneered.
- 1:17:41I think what we're doing is we it's continuously evolving every
- 1:17:45day but like like yeah like I can see like Atomic final bout.
- 1:17:50I drove behind him for the first time in my life actually.
- 1:17:53The second time where he actually did drifting in front
- 1:17:55of me, dude, like that. Damn.
- 1:17:58Frankie got a kick out of it because I know what he means.
- 1:18:01Yeah, yeah it was the first time I got to chase some, it was So
- 1:18:04much fun. He's so rowdy.
- 1:18:05And I'm like, man, that car. He built that car for with like
- 1:18:08500. Was it five?
- 1:18:09Who knows? It's so, rowdy and loud.
- 1:18:13And that's the car. I wish not that carpet,
- 1:18:15specifically, but I wish my heart was as ridiculous of a
- 1:18:18machine as his is that just eats tires?
- 1:18:20Yeah, I must be more expensive but yeah, like II can't see my
- 1:18:24unless, unless I put unless I make this car make like 500
- 1:18:28wheel, I don't see myself. It's I don't think I can go
- 1:18:31through time. I see yourself also needing 51.
- 1:18:34Hundreds of little money not with real dream.
- 1:18:36This is a 1. J was beautiful.
- 1:18:38Beautiful, one genuine? Yeah.
- 1:18:39No. I love, I love this car for what
- 1:18:42it is. I don't think I fucking want to
- 1:18:43ever do anything except maintain this car to.
- 1:18:45Can you eat the essence that came over?
- 1:18:47From what car is it for our listeners?
- 1:18:49Who aren't listening to though? I have a JZ x 100 Cresta.
- 1:18:51It's 97. 1 J 1G. Z GT vvt-i 1JZ.
- 1:19:00Totally stock besides Knuckles lengthen and it will fucking
- 1:19:04It's due date drive this shit show.
- 1:19:07I mean so I'll tell you how like I think I got a video of you
- 1:19:10from Juan's car at final bout. Wait, you were fine?
- 1:19:14Did I throw, you gave me a twist it to you at 9:30 in the
- 1:19:18morning? That's right.
- 1:19:19That's right. 9:30 gives no I wish I remember I remember you
- 1:19:23were sober. You gave me about you're trying
- 1:19:24to get me. I gave you water, you gave me
- 1:19:26Twisted, tea-tray. You know you're about to give
- 1:19:28me. But but I was in, I was in the
- 1:19:36passenger seat which I was on the floor, okay?
- 1:19:41It's hysterical, it's absolutely crazy and I brought it up.
- 1:19:45I think on one of the other podcast right after final bout
- 1:19:48but that shit you sitting on the concrete, just low.
- 1:19:53And then this gigantic jzx comes comes flying in after it's in
- 1:19:59the little hairpin section. For the hill.
- 1:20:01And that shit is coming right in and I'm like whoa like and from
- 1:20:05down below that thing is scary. It is so now as you can see
- 1:20:09here, it just ya. Juan's car is low enough, you're
- 1:20:11literally, you could drive under my exhaust is my car is so
- 1:20:13fucking taller. All right, it was so sick.
- 1:20:15But as so, the pictures of me and wanted really funny because
- 1:20:18my car towers or like at its finest.
- 1:20:21It's just, are you going for that doggy style?
- 1:20:23Look, I'm not really a currently am so it's fine.
- 1:20:26I'm that's why I'm totally good with keeping this ride height.
- 1:20:28Yeah, I went off track so much. Going to figure this car out and
- 1:20:31like, I had the hardest time at final about.
- 1:20:33So like, let's see, where do I start?
- 1:20:37So I I had my a 64. I drifted that car for five
- 1:20:41years. Consistently with real dream,
- 1:20:43the past three years. We were doing, at least one of
- 1:20:45enema. Yeah.
- 1:20:46For the longest time we react it was crazy.
- 1:20:48We were really getting it. So I got to the point in the 86
- 1:20:51that I always wanted to get to where it's like put me anywhere
- 1:20:54I can do anything in this car. As soon as I got heat maker
- 1:20:56Knuckles on, it was a rat bro. Yeah it was so much fun and so
- 1:21:00Reliable. I could do anything anywhere
- 1:21:02anytime in that car. So like I was telling you guys
- 1:21:04before that car, I do a few laps and open the door.
- 1:21:08Just reach behind me. Oh, I still have tires left.
- 1:21:10I could touch them. I could feel them.
- 1:21:11I cannot see him nuts. This car, I don't know where the
- 1:21:14rear end is almost still. Like I'm still got for this
- 1:21:18final body their long, there's a whole other door away and I'm
- 1:21:22like, man, this is a very different Dynamic and power
- 1:21:24steering, and the rotation though it's more, it's more,
- 1:21:29it's more. The front end is more
- 1:21:31responsive. Maybe not.
- 1:21:33No, no. Here, I feel OK in the 86.
- 1:21:35Here's what I would think the 86 since its it is shorter, right?
- 1:21:39With this kind of thing the longer cars your inputs at the
- 1:21:43wheel, like, you going like this?
- 1:21:45It takes a little bit more effort.
- 1:21:47Yeah. Which in turn to me, makes it
- 1:21:49more controllable. Yeah, like.
- 1:21:51Oh, okay. If I do this it's not going to
- 1:21:53fucking longer cards. Definitely film.
- 1:21:54Spin me away. Yeah, I so not not not too long,
- 1:21:58not too long because I feel like the ls were It is would be a
- 1:22:01difficult car to drift because it's too long trying to
- 1:22:03Jerusalem. Oh yeah, honestly like Nathan
- 1:22:06are this car, this car definitely completely inspires
- 1:22:10confidence. Now that I figured it out, but
- 1:22:11like, there was a little bit of a learning curve from the 86,
- 1:22:15which is, it's an ATC. I mean, we all know what the
- 1:22:18stigma with driving that car is it's very raw.
- 1:22:21It's a go-karts. A raw go-kart.
- 1:22:23You're doing a lot of this and a lot of that.
- 1:22:25It's fun, huh? So the first lap.
- 1:22:30Out at final bout was a good. When I the only time I drove the
- 1:22:32car was when we went to Japan, we went to fujian.
- 1:22:34It was a private event, but a private day but it was raining.
- 1:22:37So I was like, I'm sorry, sorry' weight, right back, let's get
- 1:22:43into how you got this car because I was at Fuji Speedway,
- 1:22:48all of a sudden. Okay, jzx fell out of the sky
- 1:22:52but you got the car because you had gotten into contact with
- 1:22:54them code photo. Yeah, I didn't.
- 1:22:57Yeah. So actually, I'll take exactly
- 1:22:59how it went down. I All the FDA decided to like
- 1:23:02fun my trading account. I was like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
- 1:23:04find the think I'm gonna, I'm gonna start making bread.
- 1:23:06I'm gonna forget about cars for a while, so I can get back into
- 1:23:09them with the car I want. And I'm not kidding.
- 1:23:11The same fucking day Diego's, like yo, check this out, the
- 1:23:14save this, like two days. After I sold the car, I had the
- 1:23:17dude paid cash for the FD. Yeah, I had racks and I was
- 1:23:21like, I don't want to put them. I'm like scared to keep the
- 1:23:22bring them home in your underwear to pretty much
- 1:23:25basically. Yeah, in a bunch of different
- 1:23:26socks. So I had the cash in Like this
- 1:23:30feels good. I feel stable.
- 1:23:32I have, I've reached like, I've reached nirvana.
- 1:23:35This is what it's like to be a human.
- 1:23:36That doesn't have a money pit. It doesn't drift.
- 1:23:38Two days later, Diego sends me this thing.
- 1:23:39And I'm like, yeah, really cool. It's exactly what I've always
- 1:23:45wanted like, five years ago. Maybe five six years ago, when
- 1:23:48like I had the 86. I need jzx. 100 was a dream, a
- 1:23:52dream car. Nobody had it was a real
- 1:23:54everyone. Jeff Stone back.
- 1:23:55Got the mark 2 and I was like, well, that's like the coolest
- 1:23:58car in the world like an errand States.
- 1:24:00I mean this is his red one that he had one.
- 1:24:02Yeah that he got from Canada. Yeah he got from the DU Mich I
- 1:24:05think was from yeah, there was a sick video but you see the
- 1:24:09jaitley? The j6 100 was like, that's like
- 1:24:11my I would do anything for car right now and then I got over it
- 1:24:16because I was like, okay, I really appreciate what my 86 is,
- 1:24:18like, I really am good. I love.
- 1:24:20This is my machine and I'm getting really good at it and I
- 1:24:23didn't want us. I mean I did it didn't want to
- 1:24:25sell it and I kind of needed to sell it for some money and to
- 1:24:28get stable. But also, I bought the heh.
- 1:24:30D. So I really bad with money.
- 1:24:33I must have been really hard to sell.
- 1:24:35Yeah, I cried. It was tough.
- 1:24:37Yeah, it was, it was everything I knew about like it was me not
- 1:24:40knowing anything about cars to me being part of a drifting that
- 1:24:43hope my whole part of my life. Yeah, in 110 will fucking cards,
- 1:24:4710 years and I prank you. That card, taught me everything
- 1:24:51there right now, just imagine. Yeah, no.
- 1:24:54Yeah, that car told me everything I know about
- 1:24:56wrenching and about, you know, I knew that car inside and out.
- 1:25:00You do with your own car and it just meant a lot.
- 1:25:04The things I did with that car, the places I saw the friends I
- 1:25:06made and still when I look at that car, when I like pictures
- 1:25:10of a like men that cars fucking good-looking.
- 1:25:12It was, I like it wasn't your Convent.
- 1:25:14I always told people, I wish I had a stock body 86.
- 1:25:17I wish I had a like like a team mouse style.
- 1:25:20Yours looks UTS. Good though like yeah.
- 1:25:22So bad already looking like it was it was a man used.
- 1:25:26It was a modernized american hot boy drift.
- 1:25:30Style. Everyone call it is.
- 1:25:31What Japanese we edit out the word that I just said, I don't
- 1:25:33want one. Hot boy, don't want people to
- 1:25:35know. I just said that.
- 1:25:35Yeah, requirement. If I'm gonna drive home the
- 1:25:37night before, it's too late, hot boy.
- 1:25:41Know that car was like, you know it was it was it was my machine.
- 1:25:45Yeah, I sold it and I like didn't regret it because I was
- 1:25:48like I know this is a new chapter for another hot car.
- 1:25:51I love this car like a lot. I thought you got you got in
- 1:25:53there. You look comfortable.
- 1:25:54I love that car. Not just a different love than I
- 1:25:57have. For my 86, not just comfortable
- 1:25:59in terms of like The Comforts that you have, but I mean, like,
- 1:26:01you look comfortable, driving it, dude.
- 1:26:04Which you guys place that final bout, right?
- 1:26:06Was that your first event, really Whelan?
- 1:26:09As my first time driving the car in the dry so it was like a
- 1:26:11whole dinette in the Rain. The car reacted, a lot like the
- 1:26:1586 did like it was just like it was dartie.
- 1:26:18Like the front end of this car is very like pointed.
- 1:26:20It's crazy. You'd expect it to be slow and
- 1:26:23response. Know what really?
- 1:26:24Really steep. What steering thing you got on
- 1:26:26there. Just shortened.
- 1:26:27Oh yeah, I'm not cools and lengthened or no, I think maybe
- 1:26:3035 mil lcas but I was talking with Chris.
- 1:26:35Oh my God, I'm so sorry Chris. I was just cruising we were
- 1:26:38talking about how Kazama like stamps.
- 1:26:41There's but they look like Factory Rod so I have to look
- 1:26:43for the stamp. I don't know.
- 1:26:44Ya know cuz I'm Lee just told me it was lengthened but they don't
- 1:26:47look like they were cut and extend its if it passed Japanese
- 1:26:50inspection, I've had. That Kazama is do because it's a
- 1:26:54one-piece made not cut in show. So, the thing with this car,
- 1:26:57this this specific car. Yeah.
- 1:26:59So let's get into a little bit. Yeah.
- 1:27:01What specific car. It's very fucking.
- 1:27:05Illegal. Oh yeah.
- 1:27:06Yeah in Japan. Japan exclusively allegedly.
- 1:27:11Why the owner of the car Google jzx. 100 Crystal quick just just
- 1:27:16just go straight Google search for it.
- 1:27:18Jamie Jamie can you pull it up real quick?
- 1:27:21I know about Rogan the owner of this car.
- 1:27:24From what everybody in Japan is telling me put jzx, 100 Cresta
- 1:27:28on the map. That that's not it, right?
- 1:27:31That's not the white car. Did you type in cut?
- 1:27:33Yeah, so images and you're going to see the yellow car.
- 1:27:36Is that car, the black car up, there's that car, the white car,
- 1:27:40bro. Your car is, literally the third
- 1:27:42photo weight, this car. That's, that's, that's my car.
- 1:27:45You can see the yellow on some of the body parts.
- 1:27:47There's like, six pictures of my car.
- 1:27:48This car was painted like seven or eight times because the owner
- 1:27:51was, like a really prevalent relevant, prevalent Street,
- 1:27:54Drifter and he won't send me videos of the car.
- 1:27:58He's like, do you like your Krista and Has he has like you
- 1:28:00don't want to see him, he sent me some, I have some good videos
- 1:28:02of it. We will keep that.
- 1:28:04It's, he paints it. He painted it so many different
- 1:28:07colors because it was super hot. Like, the cops were always on
- 1:28:09him. That's fine.
- 1:28:10If we start the car, do I give I give you the keys.
- 1:28:13You have the keys started right now.
- 1:28:15No. Do you have the keys on you?
- 1:28:17Because there's a remote on the car.
- 1:28:18I don't, I think they're in the key box.
- 1:28:20I didn't, I didn't know what, there was a one remote on edit
- 1:28:22know what it did. Had the car running.
- 1:28:24I press the button. Exhaust the a lot of cars have
- 1:28:27that in Japan too. But this one exhausted, like the
- 1:28:30exhaust silencer on it and I was telling me was like, yeah, when
- 1:28:32we go to the industrial zones and we go drifting, it's better
- 1:28:35to just back your car up, hide it somewhere, and put the
- 1:28:37silencer on because if the cops are driving around for a while
- 1:28:40and you restart your car's it like reverberates and they find
- 1:28:42you right away. So they just throw the silencer
- 1:28:45on and it gets so fucking silent and then they just wait a while
- 1:28:47and they just Cruise away with it.
- 1:28:48You can't hear the fucking car. It's crazy.
- 1:28:50That's all, but they did a lot of Street rat.
- 1:28:52There's some really great clips of it.
- 1:28:53Now, Driving. So how did you, how did you want
- 1:28:56that shit? Oh, Diego found, coat Yokota.
- 1:28:58Posted it for sale for the owner mean.
- 1:29:00The only original owner. He's planning on.
- 1:29:03And don't, don't don't feel inclined.
- 1:29:04It's not going to benefit by now.
- 1:29:06Yeah. But I mean, we talk all the
- 1:29:07time, he's got like a small, he had his page that he had for the
- 1:29:10car had like 16k followers. So a lot of people know him but
- 1:29:15he never post anything. Personal was just the car.
- 1:29:17It was all pictures of his street drifting like seven
- 1:29:19different colors. Yeah, I'm sorry and you're good.
- 1:29:23So it was it was cool. So he had to get rid of it
- 1:29:25because it was kind of hot and also he moved on.
- 1:29:28Okay. So that's why that's that's what
- 1:29:31that's how I got bit by that car.
- 1:29:32I was like I need that car because I wasn't going to buy a
- 1:29:35car. I sold the FDA.
- 1:29:36I was like I'm going to settle down were done and it's also
- 1:29:39black which it that that photo when you type that when you type
- 1:29:44in jzx, 100 Cresta and it's like, literally the second one
- 1:29:47first first row, It just looks like gangster.
- 1:29:51Oh, geez. So can Hood.
- 1:29:54It's the it's exactly how I would want like black and chrome
- 1:29:57to be 0. So when I found out about like
- 1:30:00the history of like the I guess like the legend of the car I was
- 1:30:04like, this is the one that I want and it was a good price.
- 1:30:08I mean, it's like, you know, average azx pricing right now.
- 1:30:10So you pick you bought it and then but the kicker is that you
- 1:30:14went to Japan as well. So it's a 97.
- 1:30:17So I had to wait till this past December.
- 1:30:19For it to be legal, excuse me. And I was waiting, and I was
- 1:30:24like, you know what, if there's another picture, that's cool.
- 1:30:27I need, is this one? The one above?
- 1:30:28It? Does that?
- 1:30:29Yeah. Well, that's the same picture of
- 1:30:32the yeah, scotus for help. Okay, this is a cool photo.
- 1:30:36I don't think that's it though. Oh no, that's that's my buddy,
- 1:30:39Jeff scar. He is good friends with Kota and
- 1:30:42the owner of the car to those. Those three, I we were hanging
- 1:30:44out with them in Japan. It's there where?
- 1:30:46All three of them. I don't know if I don't know,
- 1:30:47the red one being at the drift event.
- 1:30:49Both of them him and Alex car. They were at the private day as
- 1:30:53well. We all cruised up there
- 1:30:54together. Krista is like the most like
- 1:30:57option. Well, there's a lot of the
- 1:30:59higher, your luxury trim and I wish, if my friend Tom Chooch,
- 1:31:03he has a Crest. I know fuck, sorry, Tom, he has
- 1:31:08a jzx looking thing as wide. A mark to, this is a marked
- 1:31:12longer tail lights. Yes, the one that go across the?
- 1:31:15Yeah, pretty much, but the Interiors are the same and he
- 1:31:17was totally differences. Is of each and every Mo man
- 1:31:20interests to has some cool things like a grand.
- 1:31:23Yeah, the Grande Ronde. Yeah yeah.
- 1:31:25There there's a lot of trims. It was you know like the Chaser
- 1:31:29is Toyota's answer to the M3. It's very similar in terms of
- 1:31:33headlights and look overall they that's like their MP3, the
- 1:31:36Japanese M3. A lot of people say that the
- 1:31:39crest, I'm not really sure what they were.
- 1:31:42Maybe an M5 who knows? But there's there's a couple
- 1:31:45cool Creature Comforts like the swing thing.
- 1:31:47I don't know if the oscillating fan.
- 1:31:49Waiting for the crust has, more is like the least chosen for
- 1:31:52drifting because I see a lot of shakes.
- 1:31:54Its yes, the Chaser is a sport one.
- 1:31:56The it is the least and soon-to-be probably most because
- 1:32:00I've been seeing none of you probably get a lot cheaper ones
- 1:32:04or know. I don't know, I didn't they're
- 1:32:06all priced the same if you're looking if you're going to buy
- 1:32:08one of the state's deer, all you're going to spend that same
- 1:32:10but the staple 25k or more. I've seen some Crest is being
- 1:32:14posted for like higher than 20. It looks very similar though to
- 1:32:18a seat. 35. It does it die like that?
- 1:32:21The rear end the taillights exclusively which is why I like
- 1:32:23that one. The Laurel.
- 1:32:25Yeah, this is actually a Cokie front with a zenki rear this
- 1:32:27car. It's that big grill, which is
- 1:32:30great. And then there's the S2 trunk
- 1:32:32that has. You can't see it in that
- 1:32:34picture, but they have the lights in the trunk and people,
- 1:32:37you got to get that like a fucking hate them, you might see
- 1:32:40it because I think there you go. You see how like that?
- 1:32:43The silver one has the lights next to the taillights, that's
- 1:32:46it. The S2 trunk.
- 1:32:49I like the way mine looks a lot more.
- 1:32:51I'm going to leave it like that forever, I'll see ya.
- 1:32:55But the yet Crest is best to we all know that like,
- 1:32:58Christopher's best, you know, it has no what, what the big thing
- 1:33:01that sets the chassis apart. It's your favorite what?
- 1:33:05Door frame. Wait, no frame.
- 1:33:07It has a window. It has it.
- 1:33:08And the other ones don't? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:33:12There's a few things. All right.
- 1:33:13Sorry that, you know, I listen to the podcast.
- 1:33:21Yeah. Window frames are why would they
- 1:33:23do that? Because it's fucking cool.
- 1:33:25Mmm. Now it's a pain because they're
- 1:33:28wrong, I mean, I don't know. It gives the car more of a like
- 1:33:32pleasure like a family like like a complete feel so right now
- 1:33:35there's probably got less wind noise in the car.
- 1:33:37Yeah honey it's pretty good. I mean dude it's actually I wish
- 1:33:40we could go for a cruise in this car.
- 1:33:42It's a fucking I'll take it to McDonald's the mama don't drive
- 1:33:44as much as you want. This car is so good before you
- 1:33:46lower it, drive it. Hopefully, yeah.
- 1:33:49Align it 1j on the fort before you ruin it.
- 1:33:51Yeah, make sure you drive it. Put the 1j on the faction card.
- 1:33:56Yay. No, I don't know.
- 1:33:57I mean, I see I'm starting to see like the whole thing with
- 1:34:02this car like that. Like you said the taillight.
- 1:34:04Yeah, basically it's trying to match the Grille in the front.
- 1:34:06Yes, precisely. It's like the same.
- 1:34:08It's like a triangle triangle. Kind of a lot of funnels in.
- 1:34:12Yeah. Now, what's your future plans
- 1:34:14with this? I want to leave it exactly how
- 1:34:16it is but I want to make it. I've been Been doing.
- 1:34:19I've been, it doesn't need a lot to get the body perfect.
- 1:34:22It actually like, like, if you look at the pictures that Coda
- 1:34:25posted or the car, I bought it sight, unseen practically.
- 1:34:28And what you also got to. Well, after you get, I'll talk
- 1:34:31about Japan in a moment. Like I bought the car and I was
- 1:34:33like, can you send me pictures of like yeah, I'll send you a
- 1:34:35video. He says me a walk around but he
- 1:34:37doesn't get the passenger side and then I found out for myself,
- 1:34:41what happened? There's there was a video on the
- 1:34:43original owners, the previous owners Instagram page, where he
- 1:34:46was drifting out one track and then he spun One and hit got
- 1:34:50smacked in the door. So if you look at my
- 1:34:52passenger-side door it was pushed in and the beak pillar
- 1:34:54was crumbled and when I saw it in person I was like what
- 1:34:57fucking car is this, this is not the car.
- 1:35:00I just sent you a bunch of money to get Kit, was just like, beat
- 1:35:03up all around the. It was, it was, it was a bad.
- 1:35:06It was it look like a shit box and I was upset when I saw it, I
- 1:35:10was like It's really good in pictures, that's not good.
- 1:35:14Like I already gave this as final.
- 1:35:15I'm gonna get the car like, next month.
- 1:35:17I knew what I had to do it and I knew it was just aesthetic
- 1:35:20stuff. The interior has some beat up
- 1:35:22the it's like not really about I feel like it's almost every
- 1:35:26Japanese car. Yeah it has a weirdo.
- 1:35:28Get these cars here. All I'm telling you, we cruised
- 1:35:30to this event, it was mostly jzx 100's and Crest has and Chasers
- 1:35:34like that is Fast. Track Fuji is Fuji Speedway.
- 1:35:36A very J ZX e, it was, it was, it was an event for mostly Jay Z
- 1:35:40axes. And Everybody that drifted jcx
- 1:35:43is there. So many clean ones out in Japan.
- 1:35:45It's crazy how nice all in down to the Interiors being like
- 1:35:48spotless. No, scratches on the dash, and
- 1:35:50like, no, weird things, the carpets all fit good.
- 1:35:53This car is the opposite. It's pretty, it's pretty beat up
- 1:35:57and I was, I wasn't like mad about it.
- 1:36:01I was like, you know, I know what I'm getting myself into, I
- 1:36:03expect, but for the price, I could have gotten like a perfect
- 1:36:06example. If I came out here and went
- 1:36:07shopping myself, that's a my buddy.
- 1:36:09Did it say it happened to be. Year was the Stars aligned and
- 1:36:14yellow one, but he was very stock, right?
- 1:36:16So that's as I'm saying, this car is proved very, very heavily
- 1:36:19tested. I mean he drifted for years on
- 1:36:21this car, like, I mean, I use this is the same car.
- 1:36:23I think he had it for like two or three years.
- 1:36:24He said, for this one, but he's had so many other crust has.
- 1:36:28But this one, particularly the chassis has 60k miles on it.
- 1:36:31But the he has swapped the cluster for the to the Jade, the
- 1:36:35why they're both JDM, but it's the Cokie cluster.
- 1:36:39Do people run 70s or 18s on these 18s.
- 1:36:43Do you know what these are in this photo?
- 1:36:44I'm looking at. Yeah, sorry for everyone that I
- 1:36:48do think that's a 17-0. That's gotta mean.
- 1:36:51Easy. Okay, it look, it looks like 17
- 1:36:53on there with her small. It would look weird.
- 1:36:55Yeah, 17 is kind of weird. 18. All I wish I wish.
- 1:36:59There was a wish 19's were like a plausible because like the
- 1:37:02like this car with his she's drifting on.
- 1:37:05Could you teens like cool? Yeah.
- 1:37:07Yeah. James Carper, baby.
- 1:37:09Could you do? Could you do 1819?
- 1:37:11Stagger? I could that's what James runs
- 1:37:13on his fucking s13. Yeah, that would be says I loved
- 1:37:16looking at his car drifting like that.
- 1:37:18I do it. No, but I would like to watch
- 1:37:20you do it. Sorry, shout-out to one real
- 1:37:21quick. He just had to send me a
- 1:37:22screenshot. We were just talking about it.
- 1:37:26Oh I miss him. And he was so funny.
- 1:37:29He is so funny. He didn't stop being funny.
- 1:37:31Guys are fucking right. I don't know, man.
- 1:37:34I'm kind of liking these cars. They're good.
- 1:37:36Wait till you drive it. It's real Frankie.
- 1:37:39It's really good, bro. It's really good.
- 1:37:41Don't even get it. But Cresta, I they always look
- 1:37:43good in red though. I do.
- 1:37:44Look good in red. What's what's funny?
- 1:37:46Is we just had a conversation. Ian Howe you don't like red
- 1:37:49cars. Hmm.
- 1:37:52What cars were we talking about bright red?
- 1:37:55That plain red like that. Well, I usually don't like red
- 1:37:58cars because if I get one, I'm not going to leave it red.
- 1:38:01And if the paint chip somewhere, you're going to see red.
- 1:38:04So that's why I don't want it. But these jzx cars.
- 1:38:08Always look, the one that Jeff has the one that Jeff has.
- 1:38:11That was one of the first Jay Z axes.
- 1:38:12I ever do. If you've ever seen or heard of
- 1:38:15Team charm, red jzx. He was at the drift of any was
- 1:38:20like crazy to see this car. Silvertone.
- 1:38:23So Overlook such a good catch. Did you hear that now?
- 1:38:25Wow, I don't even want it. I'd only want this thing.
- 1:38:28Any we're gonna send my face. There you go.
- 1:38:30Yeah, that's the spirit. Yeah.
- 1:38:32Jeff is actually like my homie. He lives in Japan.
- 1:38:35He states. He was stationed up there.
- 1:38:37I think and he know I was talking about Jeff Stone back.
- 1:38:39Oh no, I'm he's looking at Jess car.
- 1:38:41Okay, okay. So like no.
- 1:38:43Yeah, but as an exempt, Stone Back Scar, the previous owner,
- 1:38:46the only reason why I know that car, and that it was from Canada
- 1:38:50is because there was this Oh of it.
- 1:38:52It was called Mitch split by. It was a juice box video.
- 1:38:57I know you're trying to say but they just did a lane.
- 1:38:59Split was the Reggie ma split. Yeah, the rest of us for years.
- 1:39:03Me and Chris would be driving home from somewhere and on only
- 1:39:06seventeen in Paramus. There's a there's an off ramp
- 1:39:10where you go to root for and I would stay on 17 because I lived
- 1:39:13in North Jersey and we would literally like fucking do that
- 1:39:16all the time. Cornell they'd be like oh ouch
- 1:39:20that that ramp up. Adrift every time that ramp
- 1:39:23sucks, you talk about from Route, 42 Route, 17 North know,
- 1:39:28from Route, 17 to root for by BJ's.
- 1:39:33It was not a good turn to draw up the spot that that turn was
- 1:39:37horrendous. Yeah.
- 1:39:38No, you can't even jerk. Anyways, Rocky.
- 1:39:40Hmm. But 17, what are your plans
- 1:39:44drift? No, you cannot, what are your
- 1:39:45plans for the for the jzs because you can't really do
- 1:39:47anything about it. No, I just want to, I just want
- 1:39:51to refresh. I want to do a nice refresh.
- 1:39:53Like, I just had the fenders pain in the side skirt repaired,
- 1:39:55and once they get the bumper back, it's pretty much been
- 1:39:57completely refreshed. I had that door fixed.
- 1:40:00I'll show you pictures of how bad.
- 1:40:01I don't know if you saw it final bout but the The passenger door
- 1:40:03was like pushed in, it was kind of like like this.
- 1:40:06And you can see it in all the pictures.

- 1:40:46Well, what do you mean? As you said you saw the photo
- 1:40:48and you're like, what the fuck is?
- 1:40:49No, it's a photo you to see it, that's what I'm saying.
- 1:40:51Yeah the car look great in the photos, I just knew the kid
- 1:40:54needed a little love but whatever, when you saw it in
- 1:40:56person there's like, hey, yo pause on this.
- 1:41:02Yeah, we saw In person. But I was just so stoked to
- 1:41:04like, drift in Japan. Yeah.
- 1:41:06Like like, like I was like, all right, let's do.
- 1:41:07I mean we drove ebisu the first time and my buddy, hosen had got
- 1:41:10a jzx 100 from power vehicles. It was X100 move is Mark to, and
- 1:41:16it was that the same color sells car that six and nine.
- 1:41:19It was the most beautiful car and then he went to start it and
- 1:41:21like didn't didn't run and then they were, oh yeah.
- 1:41:23The heads bad. We can't give you this car.
- 1:41:24Oh shit. So that was like, I don't know.
- 1:41:27What just got me off onto that. I think there was something that
- 1:41:29was going to tile, just you triple.
- 1:41:31Yeah, we went to a zoo and I was like, okay.
- 1:41:33Cuz I had a, I had a JZ X 90 me. My buddy Zach that I told you
- 1:41:36was no Instagram. We split a 90.
- 1:41:37We went the first time. So I drove that.
- 1:41:40And I was like, I knew I could drive that car that was before I
- 1:41:42was even good at driving the 86. Like I was like pretty new to
- 1:41:45Drifting maybe like a couple of years in, but I remember I drove
- 1:41:49the JZ X 90 really well at a zoo.
- 1:41:51I was like, okay, I know I got this.
- 1:41:53So I'll go to Japan. I'm good now at drifting.
- 1:41:57Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:41:58Quotes quotes quotes. So I know, I'll be okay.
- 1:42:01Good, dude. Thank God yourself so well with.
- 1:42:06So we go to this event, right? And then I see the car pulls up.
- 1:42:09It's the last car. Like, Kota was like late and I
- 1:42:11was like, what? The fuck's my car like he pulls
- 1:42:13up super late drivers meeting already started.
- 1:42:16He pulls up. I'm like, okay, I do have a car,
- 1:42:18there it is. Seeing it for the first
- 1:42:19actually, I saw it the night before his house so I didn't
- 1:42:21know it was real. So weird.
- 1:42:22How all this works? Like I know this whole time.
- 1:42:24I'm on our country. City could never they bring it
- 1:42:27to you at a drift. It was weird.
- 1:42:29I don't total it. Yeah, if it was weird, if a
- 1:42:32skoda was Not so like he's sold a lot of cars.
- 1:42:35He's got a good, he's got a good rep and and I got to be honest.
- 1:42:38He was really great to work with.
- 1:42:39I'm like you said, my anxiety was going crazy.
- 1:42:41I had a million questions every day.
- 1:42:43Can I put this on the car because we find this?
- 1:42:45Can we change this? Can we do that?
- 1:42:47It worked with me really well, dudes.
- 1:42:48Great shout out, Kota and he still helps me to this day, like
- 1:42:53I, he shipped me, a bunch of. I found a full interior for the
- 1:42:57trunk was missing all the panels and carpet.
- 1:42:59It's just crazy that you literally bought a car from
- 1:43:01Japan and you go to drift. Yeah, yeah, let me get back to
- 1:43:04that. We go to, we go to Fuji for a
- 1:43:06private in my he Jeff. He's like, yo, there's a private
- 1:43:08day at Fuji at this day. I was like, well great.
- 1:43:10I'll be in Tokyo. Let's go.
- 1:43:11So we drove there. Oui oui.
- 1:43:17Sorry, the group of real. Dream, guys are making me laugh,
- 1:43:19right? Love you guys.
- 1:43:22He gets he gets we get to the end.
- 1:43:24We get to the event. I said the driver's meeting.
- 1:43:26I have no idea what the fuck they're saying, and the guys, I
- 1:43:29was just gonna ask you about how do you do that.
- 1:43:38Basically, I asked the guys, they were like a just going to
- 1:43:41the track there and you drive when it's your turn.
- 1:43:42Okay, so it's just like at home. Yeah, perfect.
- 1:43:46First first lap out tracks like a little bit rain, like skimmed
- 1:43:49a little bit, a little rainy. Wasn't like coming down to that
- 1:43:52point yet but immediately I'm like oh my God, this car is
- 1:43:55fucking good, you know no problems linking first time
- 1:43:58seeing Fuji and person linked it first time no problem.
- 1:44:01I'm like okay I'm good. I Because it was my first time
- 1:44:04driving there. They if it's your first time at
- 1:44:05the track, they put you in D group.
- 1:44:07You know what I mean? It's like below.
- 1:44:09See it's like beginner. Bradley novice beginner, or
- 1:44:13whatever, beginner novice, and then intermediate Advanced.
- 1:44:17They, I told him I was like, pretty good at this thing.
- 1:44:19Like I have a drift team back in the States.
- 1:44:21We do final about, let me in, so they let me in the upper group
- 1:44:25with these guys, but they still, they're all.
- 1:44:28So these cars are looking at a speed Hunters.
- 1:44:30Yep. They're drift cars.
- 1:44:31Yep. Damn, yeah, that's what I'm
- 1:44:33saying. That's these cars look like show
- 1:44:36cars. That's what I'm saying.
- 1:44:36Yeah, for what I got my car for my car.
- 1:44:39Should look like that. But now it's going to its It's
- 1:44:41not for me, time when time. Yeah, I'm sorry done, but, so I
- 1:44:46get on track. I'm, I'm ripping, but there was
- 1:44:48a lot of guys on that in that group that were beginners.
- 1:44:51It was a beginner group still. Yeah.
- 1:44:53So I'm ripping around these, dudes.
- 1:44:56And people are spinning and I'm like, keep shutting down laughs
- 1:44:58because people spin and it was rough.
- 1:45:01But I was soaked the video that you guys posted that was it was?
- 1:45:06It was wet. It was wet.
- 1:45:07It was cool though. But like I was immediately like,
- 1:45:09okay, brand-new car, first time driving It.
- 1:45:11I'm I don't want to, I was like, all right, I'm best one in this
- 1:45:15group right now. Like I need, I need a bump up a
- 1:45:16group and so I can do some driving with, like, Kota and the
- 1:45:18guys did a couple sessions with that.
- 1:45:21And then I bumped up to code has group and I'm like, oh my God,
- 1:45:25these guys are fast. I like can't, I can't hang.
- 1:45:26I was like, I'm going back to the other one and I didn't want
- 1:45:28to like it was wet the end of the the back I guess.
- 1:45:32It's the back section of Fuji. It's the slope down and I did
- 1:45:37have some good entries but that the are 154 the After the
- 1:45:41bushings weren't they do there were out there.
- 1:45:43Where are you even like confident with right-hand drive
- 1:45:46at this point? Yeah, I'm pretty good with that.
- 1:45:48Mean, the FDA was right hand drive.
- 1:45:49I was like used to it and we put a lot of miles on right-hand
- 1:45:53drive cars in Japan. Okay, like we drove all around
- 1:45:56both times, we go, we drive like, six, seven hundred miles
- 1:45:58and we all like the rental. Like, I can drive one on the
- 1:46:01street. No, probably not.
- 1:46:02As far as drift. I, actually, Strangely, I prefer
- 1:46:04handbrake with my left hand and my, my 86, I didn't use the
- 1:46:07handbrake a whole lot, but when I did, I was like, I did like
- 1:46:09this. Yeah.
- 1:46:11This one's more of this to this side.
- 1:46:13I'm like, I think my right hand my right.
- 1:46:16I think it's wrong. I think it's just wrong.
- 1:46:18I think it's the placement of the 86.
- 1:46:20Handbrake that doesn't. Yeah, heard you, some cars.
- 1:46:22They don't make try some cards. You like it's obvious that it
- 1:46:25was for rightly. The ID is on the other side of
- 1:46:27the bottle? Yeah, I was like, how the fuck
- 1:46:28are you supposed to do this? Like, yeah, but this car it's
- 1:46:31very natural, very easy to grab. I prefer it.
- 1:46:33Strangely, maybe it's all. I know.
- 1:46:35Okay. But yeah.
- 1:46:36Like I right away, got it and I was like, this is crazy final
- 1:46:40bout this? Year was a different story.
- 1:46:42The first lap out in the dry. I was like, don't know what to
- 1:46:45do with this car. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 1:46:47wait, wait, again. This is your fast-forwarding
- 1:46:50from? That was the last time you drove
- 1:46:52the car for Roux, right. And then the and then you just
- 1:46:55and then you went, oh, I yeah, the final bout.
- 1:46:58But what so they just like take the car back there.
- 1:47:00Like yeah, well show it to you and I'm looking back and then
- 1:47:02February 27th, he put it on a boat because he lives, right in
- 1:47:05front of the port, like, his house is right front of the
- 1:47:06court, put it on a boat, and I had it in my hands in my
- 1:47:09driveway at April 17th. Wow.
- 1:47:11Yep, it was pretty good, that's cool.
- 1:47:14And then you drove final bout, yes, with the gang, that shit it
- 1:47:20would lose my nerve. Wracking, it was crazy because I
- 1:47:22had to get used to the car real quick.
- 1:47:24The first lap out, I like barely could get it around and I was
- 1:47:27like, okay, I need to go just tire pressures to mess with it a
- 1:47:29little bit. And my first lap like like made
- 1:47:33me nervous, I was like I have to perform right now with this car.
- 1:47:36So like car, you need to work with me.
- 1:47:38Yeah. Second lap out was better.
- 1:47:40Third, fourth. Slap, I was like, oh my God, I'm
- 1:47:42so good at this. Like this is great.
- 1:47:43Look at this thing goes. It's a nice.
- 1:47:45It sounds like a good card. I also, I also had it drifted
- 1:47:49the year prior so I sold when I had the FDA for all of 20 21 and
- 1:47:53then bought the Cresta. I didn't have a car for a long
- 1:47:56time. I did like three laps and David
- 1:47:58Bob's Car. Ready Set drift with jerger
- 1:47:59following me? Yeah.
- 1:48:01And that was all I drifted at all.
- 1:48:03So I was like, ok, I'm back on dry tarmac and I'm in a
- 1:48:06competition scenario. I do really well under pressure.
- 1:48:10I think like whenever we drive Final ballots, I drive my best.
- 1:48:13Yeah, because 242, I think I'm like, I like had note like
- 1:48:18mistakes errors, but no mistakes, no spins.
- 1:48:20No weird. I mean, some weird.
- 1:48:22I saw the driving at the last final bout East because I was
- 1:48:26judging special State. That's right.
- 1:48:27Yeah. Well, I was texting Dave, Bob
- 1:48:29like, hey, can you guys stop driving?
- 1:48:30Because you don't have to do it this many laps, right?
- 1:48:32Yeah, we they were do it. They went out way too much.
- 1:48:36I like someone's gonna ask what I'm trying to do, but no one's
- 1:48:38gonna fuck up eventually but they no one.
- 1:48:40Did. I want to Try promise over
- 1:48:42deliver. Yeah, I mean I want to drive low
- 1:48:45expectations. Gets you the higher the better
- 1:48:47result? We didn't know we were gonna do.
- 1:48:49So we're like yo, we don't like a lot of Front Street.
- 1:48:52Always are good. Friends are Front Street love,
- 1:48:54making fun of us for driving bus lengths apart, but we always
- 1:48:57just we always do that because we wanted to preserve ourselves
- 1:49:00for the next event. We wanted to like we're all
- 1:49:03kinds of baby. I had the most experience
- 1:49:04technically drifting like seven Diego.
- 1:49:06Did it for three years? I have been doing it for like
- 1:49:08five years when we started driving together, or For years
- 1:49:11actually. So I had like technically the
- 1:49:14most seat time. David Bob is pretty fresh at it,
- 1:49:17but he's does it so much and he's such a reliable car.
- 1:49:20He's good with it. So we yeah.
- 1:49:22You guys were all all pretty good.
- 1:49:25Yeah. Well yeah.
- 1:49:25We're just all very consists have got that GE still awesome.
- 1:49:30Yeah. Seven love Aceves.
- 1:49:34Actually my guy like that's my that's my Dubrow.
- 1:49:37Yeah. Seb is awesome.
- 1:49:40He like he He got he'd get a lot of a lot of flack from the guy
- 1:49:44and not necessarily like, you know, you suck, but he know, he
- 1:49:47knows exactly what I'm talking about.
- 1:49:48If he's listening right now, he we had fast cars.
- 1:49:52He has the same cars, Diego, he'd be behind.
- 1:49:54Sometimes he'd be here, something clicked in his brain a
- 1:49:59while back and like we have a hard time keeping up with him
- 1:50:02now. It's great.
- 1:50:02Oh, so like we're at final bout this past one.
- 1:50:06Yeah, he was the Envy. Like he just fucking showed up
- 1:50:09from, not driving in a long time from Still jet-lagged from l.a.
- 1:50:12time and just fucking drove. So great.
- 1:50:15And we were all.we all meshed, like we are first time really
- 1:50:18driving with 12. I think I have a cumulative 10
- 1:50:22laps with Juan not even from spirit before that and all four
- 1:50:27of us, like every lap, we were just like, you know, not banging
- 1:50:29doors, but we are doing the same thing over and over.
- 1:50:32And just, then again, just like it's that special stage.
- 1:50:34When you order it locks City we like would do a lap or do two
- 1:50:38laps. Go off to the back course
- 1:50:40because there was some puddles and We were like doing our tires
- 1:50:42off. It was kind of like a secret
- 1:50:43thing. We had.
- 1:50:43Yeah, cause we didn't see anyone else.
- 1:50:44Go back there and we do the cool down lap back there, we get out
- 1:50:47of our cars and like Daffy up you like, oh my fucking god,
- 1:50:49this is insane. We're like we're like we're
- 1:50:51doing good. I want that feeling just texted
- 1:50:54me. He said you guys are doing good.
- 1:50:55Like oh yeah, we just went out there and we did, we had such a
- 1:50:58crazy, high like a team like bonding thing.
- 1:51:01We're like I don't even know how to explain how stoked.
- 1:51:04I've never been that stoked with my boys before like we were all
- 1:51:06just fucking pumped. We did our best, we placed.
- 1:51:10And then we, Again, this next, I wouldn't expect it.
- 1:51:13Neither of us. I had a new phone that.
- 1:51:14Yeah. This, this time was gonna be a
- 1:51:16big one. Yeah.
- 1:51:17Because everyone's got a different call.
- 1:51:18You Bob's got a turbo. I have a new car, seventh
- 1:51:21driven, his car, and forever. We've never driven with one.
- 1:51:24Yes. A team before.
- 1:51:25That's a lie. Everything was against us,
- 1:51:27that's a scary thing, but you guys persevered and then we just
- 1:51:31do our best. And I think, because we've spent
- 1:51:34so much, we did so many events together in such a short time,
- 1:51:36we really grew together. You can just enjoy is and even
- 1:51:39hurt comes up to me after This past final about he's like, you
- 1:51:43know, I gotta say, like I commend you for your driving.
- 1:51:46Like it's not easy to follow slow cars.
- 1:51:49Yes, power. And I was like, I gotta say, the
- 1:51:52opposite was really fucking easy.
- 1:51:53I was like, dude, it was easy. Like, I just trusted that they
- 1:51:55were going to keep moving forward.
- 1:51:56I'd agree with him, though. It is especially when you first
- 1:51:59start doing it, right? But I didn't feel like no point.
- 1:52:03When I was driving behind, say, ever Juan, David Bob's.
- 1:52:05I don't really Drive behind them too much because we kind of kept
- 1:52:08like, no power. No power power power.
- 1:52:10I was always in the back. Yeah, so I could just keep it
- 1:52:13closed. Yeah and that worked really
- 1:52:15well. It seemed really easy.
- 1:52:16I just had to trust the two guys in front.
- 1:52:18We're going to fuck up and they did they came through.
- 1:52:22So every lap that we went out there, I was like, all right.
- 1:52:25I'm just gonna do my best to Shepherd the guys together and
- 1:52:28like, keep make sure that there's no space at least
- 1:52:31between me and the car in front. That's probably the best place
- 1:52:35for you to be. Yeah, that's a true but it
- 1:52:36really wasn't like this is difficult.
- 1:52:38I was I was just doing my thing behind.
- 1:52:39It was like this. It felt easy on.
- 1:52:41Lastly and it's all a trust thing.
- 1:52:43You have to apologize. So bad.
- 1:52:44Even just talking about this is getting me.
- 1:52:46Yeah. Give me a little riled up the
- 1:52:50hot final bout was like another one of those like holy shit.
- 1:52:54We just did it the thing again we yeah.
- 1:52:56All we taught you know? If I know that's a big thing for
- 1:52:58us. It's a big thing for me.
- 1:53:00This is one thing. Like I don't I tell I've told
- 1:53:03the guys before I don't talk about it a lot, but I have the
- 1:53:07final bout One dvd still. Oh yeah.
- 1:53:10Yeah, I have it. And for me when final bout
- 1:53:13started was like 28:15 or something.
- 1:53:14Yeah, I was Green in the drifting.
- 1:53:16I had just like start a drip. 2015 was my first event.
- 1:53:19Yeah. So everybody draw animal style.
- 1:53:21And what was it? Realize, I think whatever was in
- 1:53:24that. Yeah.
- 1:53:25They were like Superstars to me. I was like, yo, these are like
- 1:53:28the guys? Like proceed proceed.
- 1:53:30All my yeah. Like, they're like basically
- 1:53:32devil is another one. Yeah.
- 1:53:34All those cars that were like I had to idolize them because I'm
- 1:53:38like, I want to be back to my competitiveness like I want to
- 1:53:41be competing in a drift car up until that point, I didn't care
- 1:53:45about it but then when I met the guys I was like, you know, like
- 1:53:48I would love to be in that position.
- 1:53:49One day. Yeah, it just looks like so much
- 1:53:51fun. It's racing.
- 1:53:52Yeah. And I just want to always race
- 1:53:55but with cool looking cars with cool.
- 1:53:56Yeah, so any time I met somebody who like either was big into
- 1:54:02drifting or like, like French, we for example, the remember
- 1:54:04there was an English town event where they were there, when they
- 1:54:07had the black cars with lights flashing.
- 1:54:08Yeah, and I think I'm pretty sure I wanted to Josh and I was
- 1:54:11Can I get a ride along? Like I have my helmet.
- 1:54:13I had my, I don't leave me to my first drift event and I was
- 1:54:15like, oh no, I gotta take my mom for a ride-along.
- 1:54:19No, fuck that guy. He's, he told me no, and I was
- 1:54:24like, all right before he crashed that lap.
- 1:54:26So probably, I'm pretty sure he did right when he took his mom.
- 1:54:29You don't. Don't ask me, man.
- 1:54:30I don't remember. I said, I remember from the
- 1:54:31story. Yeah, I told and like, I was

- 1:54:40we're We're I'd say yeah definitely tap up.
- 1:54:45But like to me Front Street I was like man.

- 1:54:50right now because they're like my local team.
- 1:54:51It's like if you're from Philly or and Eagles guy from from the
- 1:54:54East Coast on the Front Street guy, me it was faction because I

- 1:55:09but I was like stoked at Was it was a big thing for the East
- 1:55:13Coast. Yes.
- 1:55:13Yeah. And and of course like I grew
- 1:55:16up, not grow and come loose because we were driving with
- 1:55:18Club loose all over our cars. Yeah it was you guys were the
- 1:55:22style cars for that to represent the east coast and there was
- 1:55:26always people saying West Coast only has stylish cars East
- 1:55:28Coast. Yeah it was one Masters are I

- 1:56:02tons of limit left. I'm bored.
- 1:56:04I do the same shit in that thing every time.
- 1:56:06Yeah, I mean, you do Plateau if you get good enough, but now I'd
- 1:56:10crawl down. My teammates to drive with him.
- 1:56:12That's all, yes, that's all I need.
- 1:56:14Well, yeah, it's yeah. I mean, we're fine about means
- 1:56:18to me and I think I'm, I don't know if I would derail that we
- 1:56:20were talking about before that but like, no, I think we're
- 1:56:22good, right? Because we were, we were
- 1:56:24basically getting yeah. We talked about final bow and
- 1:56:26every yeah, what about men? And like the fact that like from
- 1:56:30its Inception, I was like a big fan of.
- 1:56:32It was like a fanboy for it. You know what I mean?
- 1:56:33Yeah, well, I sorta drive it that plays to literally what you
- 1:56:37were saying before where your little anything you do.
- 1:56:41Paintball and like Formula One stuff.
- 1:56:44Everything there's like, there's like a competition aspect to it.
- 1:56:47Yes, I realize that's why there's a huge, there's a high
- 1:56:49level in any hobby or thing there's a purpose.
- 1:56:52Yes. Yeah.
- 1:56:53And it wasn't like for drifting, I was like, yeah, I just want to
- 1:56:55do it for fun, but then when I realized like, okay eventually
- 1:56:57I'll get to a point where I should like, I'm not sure, but I
- 1:57:00would totally do that and fall off the fucking cliff.
- 1:57:04You know what I mean? Yeah, that I wanted it to be
- 1:57:07final about. And then when I met Diego, I met
- 1:57:10Diego first. First, he's we have both had
- 1:57:12blue cars, so he was like let's go drifting and I was like,
- 1:57:14whoa, this guy with like 10K followers just hit me up.
- 1:57:18Oh, no way. I I always looked at myself as
- 1:57:21like the dude who shouldn't be, where he is, because I come from
- 1:57:25a background where I like had always had a small group of
- 1:57:29friends. I wasn't known for shit like I
- 1:57:31didn't like and not. How do I put this without
- 1:57:34sounding stupid? This is internet stuff.
- 1:57:36Yeah, this is like, internet stuff.
- 1:57:38I guess. Like people were in like a
- 1:57:39nobody on the internet. No.
- 1:57:42No, I'm not saying I'm no idea for a while as a Corolla guy
- 1:57:45exact. If that's, yeah, I tried.
- 1:57:46I mean, that's all I was for 10 years.
- 1:57:48Accrual guy. And that Community is small but
- 1:57:51also big now. It's huge.
- 1:57:52But well now you know I think we got your.
- 1:57:55I always like you're in that realm now.
- 1:57:58Yeah. I always looked at myself as
- 1:57:59like if a guy like Diego want to drift with me.
- 1:58:03I thought it was more sectionalized.
- 1:58:07I don't know what the word is like a slinky, dude.
- 1:58:10With nice car and then like I knew my car like you look at a
- 1:58:14lot of people give me you get people give you compliments on
- 1:58:16your car. This thing is amazing.
- 1:58:17It's incredible. But you know I looked at my age
- 1:58:196 and that thing was always janki's.
- 1:58:21Yeah. The bumper was always like this
- 1:58:23and then there were the fitting was fitting was pretty good on
- 1:58:26that car but there was always like this is still a shitbox
- 1:58:28aspect of the Corolla I got it. Good at one point at one point
- 1:58:32for a while. It was good.
- 1:58:33It took a long time to get there.
- 1:58:36So that's why when someone would like a nice car is like it talks
- 1:58:38to me. I'm like is he recognizing me
- 1:58:40for Or a dude or my car. Yeah, but Diego is just like an
- 1:58:43open. Like a homie.
- 1:58:45Like opened up and we became homies.
- 1:58:47Then I met actually funny enough.
- 1:58:49I met my queasy. Oh, who is also best friends?
- 1:58:51They both shared a best friend which was said.
- 1:58:53Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:58:54I met them both before I met Steve, and they kept saying no
- 1:58:56said home. He says, my guy, then when I met
- 1:58:58Seb, I was like, fuck. These guys are like fucking cool
- 1:59:02as hell. Like these are these are the
- 1:59:04dudes that I guess, I guess the thing I'm leaving out which
- 1:59:08makes the sound kind of weird, the group, I was with doing car,
- 1:59:12I started doing car stuff with besides my homie, Ryan, Losers
- 1:59:17of course my best friend John and are the the scene goddamnit,
- 1:59:22the vine, the violent scene where I'm from.
- 1:59:25There's no that there's nothing good.
- 1:59:26If there's nothing good. It's like American Muscle stuff.
- 1:59:29Yeah, basically and like shitty car, just bad cars.
- 1:59:32While dribbling is also like totally different than most.
- 1:59:34Right? Are seen.
- 1:59:35And I feel like drifting is hidden, like, sometimes there's
- 1:59:38that. Dude, that car has probably been
- 1:59:40there for years, but and you never know it because he Parks
- 1:59:43it nice and reverse the i'm-i'm-i'm.
- 1:59:45Now that guy, Why? Yeah, I'm a you are probably,
- 1:59:48like, like I had the 86 and I have the jzx, and that's like
- 1:59:52the two coolest cars. I think violence ever seen.
- 1:59:54Yeah. And now there's more people
- 1:59:56getting into drifting, but they already know who I am, which is
- 1:59:58cool. But like I always rolled with
- 2:00:00dudes that like didn't do, like I don't even, I don't even know
- 2:00:03if it's safe to talk about the stuff we do when we go to H2O
- 2:00:06because it was not car stuff and it was just a slumped in our
- 2:00:08hotels. Yeah, lean ins and out like not
- 2:00:12good at a rough past and then when I met meet these dudes that
- 2:00:15are doing shit, They like opened up the world for me.
- 2:00:18So, it's Diego and said I have no, like, I can't thank them
- 2:00:21enough for getting me like, bringing me with them on this
- 2:00:24trip. You ever take them street
- 2:00:25drifting down there by you, man. You can't, there's, there's no
- 2:00:28good spots near me. There's like what the place.
- 2:00:30That's why I learn how to drive, man, find that you didn't
- 2:00:34invite. Okay, so blow anything up from
- 2:00:36Glassboro. There is don't blow it up.
- 2:00:38I'm not blowing shit up there. Ain't nothing to be a takeover
- 2:00:41tomorrow but Vineyards and it's all straight roads against
- 2:00:45farmland. The don't say I'm not going to
- 2:00:48say it. There's a lot of industrial
- 2:00:51stowed. Yeah, I know the industrial
- 2:00:53environment. I know the Industrials and
- 2:00:54that's where I go. That's where I learned dude.
- 2:00:56That sounds. Alright, I was having my own.
- 2:01:02Yeah that's that's you can do that.
- 2:01:16One of those little parking lots.
- 2:01:17There was the Sony lot. I know you already know it at
- 2:01:20it. No.
- 2:01:20But yeah, like so there's I'm not even sure what else we were
- 2:01:26getting at before but like I guess final bow and like the
- 2:01:29exclusive I think final bout is to a lot of people's provides
- 2:01:32like a reason, you know. Yeah.
- 2:01:34Because it's a, it's just like, it's not on TV, but it's not
- 2:01:40small. It's just like, I don't know.
- 2:01:42It takes a certain it attracts a certain number.
- 2:01:44It is It's the premiere. It's like the Pinnacle of
- 2:01:49Grassroots drifting. Yeah, which is, which is Big
- 2:01:52because the United States is really fucking big.
- 2:01:54Yeah. Well and like they and they know
- 2:01:56about it all over the world. I want to.
- 2:01:58It's a big thing. We're will flourish Community
- 2:02:00will be there. One day.
- 2:02:01We got some questions for you. Oh, you shoot it.
- 2:02:04Where you guys posted a? I think we posted this like five
- 2:02:07minutes before we started and this question.
- 2:02:09Yeah. Oh shit.
- 2:02:10Alright, Frankie pilot us into the questions.
- 2:02:13Well, first one is not a question Niko.
- 2:02:14We're going to drive one day at final battle.
- 2:02:16Yeah, we're going to drive them away.
- 2:02:17Auto real dream, best drift team.
- 2:02:19That's the first comment. Rick Rath here.
- 2:02:23We fucking go. The troll is here.
- 2:02:26Let's run it. Like, sorry, I can't write it
- 2:02:27off. Rough.
- 2:02:28All right. How do you feel about the
- 2:02:29current condition and treatment of your old 86?
- 2:02:32It's actually kind of it's, It's amazing.
- 2:02:34Oh, my God. Eric, if you knew, I can't wait
- 2:02:37for you to see what I'm not going to know where it is.
- 2:02:39I do North Carolina, but his name is Kevin.
- 2:02:42Oh wait, Scott knows him. Yeah, kids.
- 2:02:45Yeah, is taking great care of it.
- 2:02:46It's got 11 front. 11 origin overfed like you.
- 2:02:50Can't you let him go. It's got a calm down, stay over
- 2:02:54there. Alright well we'll talk about no
- 2:02:56he's not wronged 11, I don't know why but for years the
- 2:02:59leaven hatch got shitted on. People were like no 11 cool.
- 2:03:02That's like my favorite hatch 11 Hatches the best.
- 2:03:05Yeah rabbit hutches the best, which I feel weird saying
- 2:03:08because with 180s and stuff, I'm more of a purist.
- 2:03:11I wouldn't want to switch anything right on right with
- 2:03:13those because I don't know him that well.
- 2:03:14So I'm like, oh, I like that. Yeah.
- 2:03:16But enliven hatches cool. I don't want.
- 2:03:18I mean, I don't think Kevin's the kind of secretive guy and I
- 2:03:20don't think He cares. If I tell Eric right now that
- 2:03:23he's painting the car, yellow like very similar to your car.
- 2:03:26Whoa, only six is about to be yellow, sorry, Kevin, if you
- 2:03:30didn't want me to tell that what that's like.
- 2:03:32I feel like that has got to look great.
- 2:03:34Yeah, good. Because now it is not going to
- 2:03:36be. No, I'm pretty sure it's going
- 2:03:38to be straight you unless he's doing black bumpers.
- 2:03:40The grave. No, no.
- 2:03:41But now it now, it has to that, for me, that's what makes it
- 2:03:44now. Okay.
- 2:03:46I'm looking at something else like someone else.
- 2:03:48Yeah, he's making the car, he had it with my car.
- 2:03:51My color and all my stickers are still on.
- 2:03:53Yeah, that was that was and can't let your cargo.
- 2:03:57Like you know what the problem was I started I started taking
- 2:03:59the stickers off and it was just ripping the single stage clear
- 2:04:01coat off. Did you take the team sticker
- 2:04:03off? At least which which team
- 2:04:04sticker? I had the the row you had a
- 2:04:06bunch of them on there. Well, we had it on, you couldn't
- 2:04:08take it out, it was ripping the clear coat on.
- 2:04:09I was like, dude and I didn't want to bring you the card in
- 2:04:12North Carolina dry wheat. I trailer down for him and I
- 2:04:15don't want to be like, here's the card at a gentlemen's
- 2:04:17agreement. Take this shit off.
- 2:04:18Yeah, pretty much. He was like, well he told me
- 2:04:20he's gonna get painted. And he didn't but that's fine.
- 2:04:24But not tell you the truth, I really liked that he didn't
- 2:04:26change it right away because I like looking at pictures of my
- 2:04:28car doing shit. It's like driving it.
- 2:04:31There she is. Yeah, he's still good.
- 2:04:33You know what I mean? I can tell if he fucked
- 2:04:34something up, I'll know right away.
- 2:04:35Hey that wasn't like that. You fucked it up but he took
- 2:04:38really a feeling. I got one Derek on my shit.
- 2:04:41No, no, what feeling did you have?
- 2:04:44I was like, damn, that will looking kind of wobbly.
- 2:04:47Oh, shit, no, I'm just kidding. From North Carolina to
- 2:04:52Tennessee. That's why I couldn't drive it
- 2:04:55from New Jersey from South Jersey to North Jersey without
- 2:04:57like, throwing up. It was horrible.
- 2:05:00It was such a bad car driving feature of like 10 hours
- 2:05:02straight. You know, he was he really he,
- 2:05:04I'm really stoked. He's taking that case.
- 2:05:06It sounds like you just started something for somebody else,
- 2:05:09which is us right now. And that's what I don't know.
- 2:05:11I just said that comment about Derek and I know somehow that's
- 2:05:14going to get back to him. But Derek buddy, I know you
- 2:05:16enjoyed the fuck out of it. That's all I care.
- 2:05:17You beat that shit up. I'm sorry.
- 2:05:22I mean, it's true Carl. He did beat that car up, but he
- 2:05:25did drift it. That's what I wanted.
- 2:05:27Yeah told him that. Yeah, no, so I'm really happy
- 2:05:30with where it is right now. That's good to know.
- 2:05:32That's good. I'm glad it's not getting
- 2:05:33fucking a beaut. Not like Diego is Carlos the
- 2:05:36dude who bought Diego's car. Sold it to Kevin's like good
- 2:05:39friend that car. I don't know who exactly turned
- 2:05:42to shit, but one of the owners after getting it turned it to
- 2:05:46shit, it was crazy. But my car really?
- 2:05:48Yeah, I mean when you saw your car you kind of can't you just
- 2:05:50gotta Hope and pray. Yeah, I am really lucky that
- 2:05:54this kid didn't destroy my car, and he did put a bunch, he did.
- 2:05:57He had Kangoo, she signed the dash, which upset me because
- 2:05:59that's an uncracked, like mint Dash.
- 2:06:01Yeah. But it's his favorite driver
- 2:06:03whatever? Yeah, Carl would agree with
- 2:06:05that. That's so sick.
- 2:06:06Yeah, he signed it and he put He took like the first sticker I
- 2:06:09ever had for the Corolla was has been on the dash from the
- 2:06:12beginning. It was the Coca-Cola.
- 2:06:13Corolla sticker. Yeah.

- 2:07:27Yeah. So I've done track days on
- 2:07:30Lightning which is the smaller track.
- 2:07:31I've never seen Thunderbolts like almost three miles.
- 2:07:34I drifted on one of those tracks.
- 2:07:35I don't know which ones are bought with the long straight.
- 2:07:38They're both lot. They both are well.
- 2:07:39Okay Thunderbolt is has a blind West to the right.
- 2:07:43They both have line Crest to the right back.
- 2:07:45Yep. Whatever has the over thing is
- 2:07:47the one I was on. Oh so you they both have
- 2:07:51Bridges. Jesus Christ.
- 2:07:52Yep you suck. Frankly the same fucking track.
- 2:07:54No they're not well when you pulled it if you can remember
- 2:07:59when you there's an elevation on this one they both have
- 2:08:01elevation Jesus actually. Yeah they probably own
- 2:08:05lightning. I think I was complex and you
- 2:08:09went through the gate. Did you go right or left?
- 2:08:10You remember I want to say left. Okay.
- 2:08:12Then you went to Thunderbolt if you Earth you went left.
- 2:08:14If you want right you into lightning.
- 2:08:15I really couldn't remember to did you see the go-karting you
- 2:08:17went to Sonny? This is like And so it was on
- 2:08:22Thunderbolt, which is the big track and I never seen it.
- 2:08:24And I was like, okay, cool. This is fun.
- 2:08:25I get to drive a minivan around Thunderbolt the dude who owns
- 2:08:29the car drove from Alabama to California.
- 2:08:32And then, Drew and did lemons events driving the car across
- 2:08:35the country to New Jersey Vic. It's fun.
- 2:08:38Cool. Well, I've owned stock Grand.
- 2:08:40Caravan it. Had a roll cage and just safety
- 2:08:43equipment. And we went Racing for 12 hours
- 2:08:48on Saturday, actually benign, but how do you get in?
- 2:08:51Evolved in something you there. So, if you want to get involved
- 2:08:54in lemons and you don't want to like know, how did you get
- 2:08:56involved? Okay, my buddies at Metro Kramer
- 2:08:59car and Erik Satie. He, they were him and Joe were
- 2:09:03supposed to drive in this. They found this dude, somehow, I
- 2:09:05don't know how they know him. They found him yellow they cite
- 2:09:08like there's there's a site called okay, stupid 411's
- 2:09:11things. It's really funny like you can
- 2:09:13you it's a Facebook group where you're like, I'm trying to drive
- 2:09:15this event and if someone's got a car you can link up with them
- 2:09:18there, okay? Think it's great.
- 2:09:21So anyway they fucking they say they found him.
- 2:09:24They said two drivers we want to drive with you JMP, Joe couldn't
- 2:09:28make it, I took his spot, I want to take the spot, I wanted to
- 2:09:32get on that from the beginning but he it was just the only
- 2:09:34needed two drivers. Yeah.
- 2:09:35So I looked out and I did the first, this is my first wheel to
- 2:09:41Wheel racing after wanting to be a racing driver.
- 2:09:44My whole life didn't dodge cares and adopt a vapor cars with a
- 2:09:48yeah, right? Ironically that is weird, the I
- 2:09:50guess. Yes, we're not going to, well,
- 2:09:52I'm not gonna get sidetracked by that.
- 2:09:53Yeah, there was 133. Cars on track it.
- 2:09:57Pretty much the same exact time on a 23 Mile Road Course.
- 2:10:01And I did the first stint on Saturday, so they were who wants
- 2:10:04to go first and I was like you're not gonna go first to the
- 2:10:06owner. He's like no I like to go at the
- 2:10:07end. I was like I'll do it because
- 2:10:09the other kid that like was on that team that found the owner
- 2:10:13some like seventeen year old kid, who's just got his license
- 2:10:15basically. No racing experience, doesn't
- 2:10:18know shit about cars. He's not gonna hear this fucking
- 2:10:21weirdo. Really fucking weird.
- 2:10:23Dude that he, he like, just like only like racing for Lemony like
- 2:10:30lemons. That's why he was there.
- 2:10:31Yeah. So it might overreact.
- 2:10:34Yeah. Weird kid, but he's like, I
- 2:10:36don't know, I don't want to be that we were planning to give
- 2:10:38him short stints so he could just get some time.
- 2:10:40You know what I mean? Like like 15, 20 minutes would
- 2:10:42be grabbing at that fuck. So I said I'll go first because
- 2:10:45Eric was a little nervous. I think I'm gonna go first.
- 2:10:48I did a two hour stin. My first time wheel to Wheel
- 2:10:51racing 130, that's ours. Well, that's a long time.
- 2:10:53It was the most fucking insane thing I've ever done in my life,
- 2:10:57do it. As soon as I got on track, there
- 2:10:59was, it's crazy. Because if you've seen lemons
- 2:11:02cars, they're usually ridiculous.
- 2:11:04But for some reason, everyone wanted to bring spec me out as
- 2:11:06an E36 has, and like nice cars. So then how does that fall under
- 2:11:10that? I don't know how they did.
- 2:11:12It was a crime to be like a certain amount of $500 to be.
- 2:11:15It's a subjective rule but our rules.
- 2:11:17Basically if you spend more than $500, they do things.
- 2:11:20Has to make you not spend more than that.
- 2:11:22Like there's a rule that they have, we're at the end of the
- 2:11:24event, the like the people that run the event kitten by your
- 2:11:28car, no contest for 500 bucks. So, someone with like it's
- 2:11:33they've only done it twice in the history because those people
- 2:11:35were being dicks or some shit to and I would have bought one of
- 2:11:37those M3. That's what I'm saying.
- 2:11:38Chris fix it was there with the M3 and and it was so nice.
- 2:11:41I was literally next to Chris, fix it in a minivan and is and
- 2:11:45the M3 he's got and he went right past me, but like as soon
- 2:11:49as I got on track, People just flying by me and I'm like kind
- 2:11:53of warming it up. So like it was funny got to warm
- 2:11:55that baby. You gotta wait till the
- 2:11:56thermostat opens the juice. Like all we do is do brakes and
- 2:11:59tires. That's what you said to me.
- 2:12:01Yeah. So we check the brakes from the
- 2:12:03last because he drove from the last event with those brakes to
- 2:12:05that they had life on the path with their super glazed.
- 2:12:08He was just take it easy on the brakes.
- 2:12:09I was like, all right, no problem.
- 2:12:10First lap out as a warm-up back section of the track, I thought
- 2:12:13I was good stepped on the brakes car.
- 2:12:15Didn't stop all for off. If you go four wheels off and
- 2:12:18lemons race, you get black-flagged And you get three
- 2:12:21black flags your day. You're not done.
- 2:12:24They Saran Wrap you to the roof of the car and then make you
- 2:12:27drive around the pits for 20 minutes.
- 2:12:29With a megaphone saying I'm sorry we won't do it again.
- 2:12:31We went off track, it's a humiliation thing.
- 2:12:33It's super fucking cringe and it was really weird and that sounds
- 2:12:36amazing. It was kind of funny.
- 2:12:38He's angry people Frank. Yeah it was your, don't love
- 2:12:40this. Shit was funny but we had to do
- 2:12:42that because everyone went four wheels off.
- 2:12:44The you had to do it. We had to do it.
- 2:12:46Yeah. I went Instagram live when we
- 2:12:48did it. Were you on the route?
- 2:12:49Yeah, I was Saran Wrap to the roof of the van with a megaphone
- 2:12:52and I went live on IG and I was like, yeah, we're on this roof.
- 2:12:55We went four wheels off and we had everyone's asking what you
- 2:12:58guys do. Oh, my God.
- 2:13:00Sorry. You know it's funny my buddy
- 2:13:02Eric who but she could be going on the track.
- 2:13:05Exactly. It's punishment.
- 2:13:06Don't go fucking four wheels off.
- 2:13:07Is what they're trying to say. Yeah, the owner went, he did the
- 2:13:10last it he went four wheels off. Then they we had to park the car
- 2:13:13for three hours, which was two hours left in the day.
- 2:13:16You win the race by getting the most laps pretty much.
- 2:13:18Yeah. So we have we We were doing.
- 2:13:20Yeah we were we were doing really good.
- 2:13:22Like we I put down the fastest lap for the team.
- 2:13:28So, all right, let me go back, go back on track.
- 2:13:30Go out on track for the first session car.
- 2:13:32Zooming past me I'm like freaking out.
- 2:13:34Holy shit going like wide into corn three wide into like T1
- 2:13:38after the Sheehan 110 miles an hour that substrate.
- 2:13:41Like dude is nuts car drove really great.
- 2:13:44But it had like shit. All see it Pirelli 690 treadwear
- 2:13:46All Seasons all around. So I did an hour and a half came
- 2:13:51in because it was vibrating. I was like, yo, Snead's tires.
- 2:13:53We put his enemies on the front. I am totally shaved, seven
- 2:13:56seconds of my fucking life. I was awesome.
- 2:13:59I was passing people in a minivan, was like, oh I'm good
- 2:14:02at this. This is so, yeah, I came back in
- 2:14:04there. Like you did at 158 and I'm
- 2:14:07like, what was I doing before? Like 222 your fastest lap before
- 2:14:10the tires was 2006 and then I got down to 158 the second
- 2:14:16fastest lap of the team was a 20-7.
- 2:14:18So I was like damn, I'm on that there's like yeah you got the
- 2:14:21pace to like get us laps and I didn't I didn't know how I'd
- 2:14:25love to do that. Mom.
- 2:14:26Pull it through. You have to go fast, or do you
- 2:14:28have to consider and be consistent?
- 2:14:31You did a lot last the race, but the faster you go.
- 2:14:33The more laps you get. So I was like I'm fucking
- 2:14:35pushing this car. If I paid this much money to be
- 2:14:37here. I'm a fucking piece of shit
- 2:14:38100%. You did the right thing dude.
- 2:14:40It was so how'd you guys turn out, 89 out of 100 33.
- 2:14:45That doesn't sound that. That's not amazing.
- 2:14:48But that's not last. Pointy teeth out of 30.
- 2:14:51We were the only minivan. Okay.
- 2:14:53We're in a minivan? Yes, it was a it was a minivan.
- 2:14:56Yeah. We were literally race.
- 2:14:57In a minivan who came in last. I don't know who came in last,
- 2:15:01but an FC with a V8 was first. Okay, I'll class the fastest lap
- 2:15:06of the race was a 143. Definitely not $500.
- 2:15:10That's all I'm saying. Yeah, but the buying a car back
- 2:15:14at the end, but like, you got to be prepared to.
- 2:15:17Yeah, subjective rule. It's like, yeah.
- 2:15:19You like, you can. So what you can do is you have
- 2:15:21to spend $500, but you can also barter with the owner.
- 2:15:23So, if you have an s13, you're going to sell me for $1000, for.
- 2:15:26I want to 411's, I'm going to give you five hundred dollars
- 2:15:28cash, but I'm also going to give you like, maybe, $300 in beer
- 2:15:33and then like 200 an Amazon gift cards, you can do shit like
- 2:15:36that. So you could like, hey, Me, if
- 2:15:38I'll give you 500 bucks for this car.
- 2:15:39And then here's a 2021 F-150. Yeah, to pay for the rest of the
- 2:15:43people finding loopholes. Yeah.
- 2:15:45My bill of sale says, I bought everything.
- 2:15:47There's different classes. Of course we were in C-Class.
- 2:15:49So, without was like, basically, see class has no chance of
- 2:15:53winning be classes, maybe, and a classes, you're going to win
- 2:15:55overall. But what's the last thing?
- 2:15:59I'll say about lemons which is really cool that they do.
- 2:16:01If the car is really nice, you start with a deficit in laps for
- 2:16:06every $10, they think you spent Were you have to start with one
- 2:16:10lap - so people are starting - 600 lap?
- 2:16:13So I mean, wow. So it's basically they're just
- 2:16:16there to race for the fun, you know, which is cool.
- 2:16:20I like that about lemons and I like that.
- 2:16:22They do their own thing in their Community, but they're all
- 2:16:23really fun. I wouldn't do it.
- 2:16:25That's really cool story. I feel like I'd be into that
- 2:16:27stuff. You should do it.

- 2:19:44I like 90 Chasers but 100 Chaser.
- 2:19:46Okay? Sure yeah, yeah that makes
- 2:19:49sense. And then what kind of I don't

- 2:19:52to is all that is? What was your?
- 2:19:54I have no idea. I got another one.

- 2:20:04love salsa music, I Pierre peopie.
- 2:20:08Are you doing here? Music is this.
- 2:20:13That was some hip-hop party. I have Japanese music, not
- 2:20:17anime, music, Japanese music. I'm huge.
- 2:20:19John Mayer fan. Oh hell yeah.

- 2:20:23get our players. You know what?
- 2:20:25Love John Mayer. Love John Mayer.
- 2:20:27Yeah. What else I have you don't got
- 2:20:30any big Kenny Chesney on there? No, I don't forgive me five mil.
- 2:20:33You're gonna have to add someone there, you know, I the only I
- 2:20:37mean, it's as corny as it is. I don't listen to country music
- 2:20:40but I literally people say, I listen to everything but
- 2:20:42countries now he's upset. Malcolm's this country Malcolm
- 2:20:46like you love country music. It's not bad.
- 2:20:48I guess I fuck with it in certain certain scenarios.
- 2:20:51I'll be like yo Malcolm put on some country.
- 2:20:54Yeah, I just don't find myself. Self like in that like mine said
- 2:20:57like you know like this weekend I'm trying to convince Malcolm
- 2:20:59to Kavala like Xfinity. Yeah, IMA listen to the
- 2:21:03community. Oh my God.
- 2:21:04Malcolm's I never been because I don't know this.
- 2:21:05The country I wrote a bowl in that I wrote a mechanical bull
- 2:21:08in that motherfucker, not sexy. A lot of the moms thought so
- 2:21:12too. Malcolm's favorite country
- 2:21:15artist is Taylor Swift. Okay, so next last question here
- 2:21:18is, how do I find people to drive with especially people
- 2:21:21that really love style? I think that's a good question,
- 2:21:24that's a great question and if you're lucky like me, then Diego
- 2:21:28just hit you up and then it'll open up for you.
- 2:21:30So hopefully somebody hits you up soon to do it.
- 2:21:32If, if they don't have that option.
- 2:21:34Well, if you go, if you think about the, my buddy, I talked
- 2:21:37about earlier, he's he built His car and he got a car with a cage
- 2:21:42so he could tandem. But who wants to Tandem with the
- 2:21:44guy who doesn't take care of his car, you know what I mean?
- 2:21:47So just make sure you if you want to drive with people with
- 2:21:49style, make your car look better than everybody's and then
- 2:21:53they'll just gravitate towards you.
- 2:21:54That's nice. Three, it's pretty
- 2:21:55straightforward. It's not a bad idea.
- 2:21:56It make your car look really good cool.
- 2:21:58Yeah. Go make your car look really
- 2:22:00good. Go to a drift event where it
- 2:22:01like a Ready Set drift. Where if you're if you're in
- 2:22:03Pennsylvania or the East Coast where you, you can't tan and
- 2:22:06without a cage and stuff anywhere else except they're
- 2:22:08pretty much right now. Yeah.
- 2:22:10And locks The black go to an event where you can't and
- 2:22:12without a cage, have a good-looking car.
- 2:22:14Drive. Pretty.
- 2:22:15Okay. You don't have to drive great,
- 2:22:16you just got to put it together and get shows you belong.
- 2:22:19Now, I think that if you show that you belong there, that's,
- 2:22:22that's the reason why I drive with the people that I drive.
- 2:22:24They put as much work into they did, and if not more than what I
- 2:22:28did into that car, so I know they don't want me to hit it.
- 2:22:31Yeah, they'll get out of my way or get out of their way, build a
- 2:22:35cool car, drive it to the best of your ability.
- 2:22:37Don't-don't-don't driver mean, and race it to the streets, you
- 2:22:40know? No, I mean do that of course,
- 2:22:43but like, but like Billy car and like McKay, I always thought
- 2:22:46mechanical empathy was the name of the game for drifting like bu
- 2:22:49you got to beat the shit out of a car but you got to do it so
- 2:22:51you can drive the next event. Yeah.
- 2:22:52And just you drive a bunch of events with a hot car and you'll
- 2:22:55see people be like, yo, I think that's a good way to do it.
- 2:22:57People will notice and then think it's the only way certain
- 2:22:59people will. Yeah.
- 2:23:00Unless you just start searching. Yeah, let me see if you start.
- 2:23:03Don't ask, don't don't whatever you do guy.
- 2:23:06Don't ask someone like, can I drive with you at this event?
- 2:23:09Like don't don't bring it to them.
- 2:23:10Let them come to you with it. Like let them, you know, let
- 2:23:13them notice you before you go up and beg people to drive with
- 2:23:15them because I don't know if if the car is hot enough and I know
- 2:23:19that there's good media then like yeah, let's do a lap
- 2:23:21together but I also want to know who you are, you know.
- 2:23:23Yeah. But just make your name, some
- 2:23:26guy standing on. Yeah.
- 2:23:29Do you have a where can people find you?
- 2:23:30Do you want people to find you? Yeah, I mean, real dream.
- 2:23:34Yeah, real dream. It's my Instagram is Rd
- 2:23:36underscore Niko's and all I post is my car.

- 2:23:40If they're, so, if you want to follow the whatever I do with
- 2:23:44the jzx, which is not much besides post pictures of it,

- 2:23:55I look him up on Facebook. That's pretty much all I got.
- 2:24:01I don't know. Use my dream.
- 2:24:04This is another example of like an end on this one.
- 2:24:06Like I saw the faction podcast when you when you started it and
- 2:24:10I'm like those guys are cool. I'll never be on the podcast
- 2:24:12because what you know, like it's another one of those times where
- 2:24:15like, I'm very lucky and grateful to be here, dude, I
- 2:24:18mean, this chair. Fuck yeah, grateful that you're
- 2:24:20accustomed. Yeah, grateful that you're here.
- 2:24:22Because we approach the first time, okay?
- 2:24:24I was telling Frankie because he's like, what should we talk
- 2:24:27about? And I'm like, well I actually
- 2:24:29know Nico this time. Usually I don't really know the
- 2:24:31podcast right? Until we meet him right here,
- 2:24:33but I actually don't know. How did you years?
- 2:24:35Yeah, like the cars like we could probably hang like, I'll
- 2:24:39hang with you. We've kicked it at the event a
- 2:24:41couple times, you know? So like yeah, you're the second.
- 2:24:45I'll always dab up at the events.
- 2:24:47You always thank our guests are coming by especially because
- 2:24:49this was pretty last minute, as well as our listeners to And
- 2:24:53with that. Thank you good.
- 2:24:54Thanks. Thanks to everyone that
- 2:24:56mentioned the podcast that Formula Drift.
- 2:24:58Yeah. Sorry I apparently wasn't at the
- 2:25:00booth. According to Frankie, there were
- 2:25:01people there that was expecting me to be there even though
- 2:25:04that's people want to say hi to you.
- 2:25:07Well, Ricardo was there. They got the next part over
- 2:25:09there with a sign on his chest and said Carl with the sea and
- 2:25:13he was just roaming around. I heard random people that it
- 2:25:16like we're getting food in line and some random person was like,
- 2:25:19hey Carl, just like waving at him, he's like shit.
- 2:25:26Goddamnit. Well, yeah.
- 2:25:27Awesome. No.
- 2:25:28But people said one guy that came to the booth.
- 2:25:33He was talking about how well he was just complimenting talking
- 2:25:36about episodes this and that and then he was talking about how he
- 2:25:40he likes the bullshit episodes more than the other ones.
- 2:25:43Like total of this one. Yeah we talked all we did was
- 2:25:46bullshit. Yeah.
- 2:25:47Most of them are bullshit episodes like as far as what
- 2:25:50we're talking about, like we're just bullshitting but the thing
- 2:25:52NG is like, sometimes if we don't have a guest which luckily
- 2:25:56has been rare, we'll just like come up with some shit.
- 2:25:59Yeah, we'll just talk about this or that and then like, I think
- 2:26:02it's, we usually all think that it's just like a waste but that
- 2:26:06people talk about that one more than anything else.
- 2:26:08So we appreciate that. Yeah.
- 2:26:10Because those are the ones were usually nervous about.
- 2:26:12And people just don't seem to care.
- 2:26:14They like those more but for sure.
