What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another episode
0:02
of the Faction After Hours podcast.
0:04
On today's episode we have Cole Manon.
0:08
Cole Manon is a customer of ours, a good friend and a local
0:12
drifter here on the East Coast. Cole has been doing a lot of
0:16
cool stuff recently. He just finished his 180SX
0:19
build. I guess you shouldn't say
0:21
finished because nothing's ever finished, especially cars.
0:24
But it's gotten to a good point where it's just about ready to
0:27
to go off to paint and pretty much be completed.
0:30
So yeah, so we talk about his car, we talk about his first
0:35
club loose event in that car, and we also talk about a couple
0:39
of his Japan trips. So this one's definitely a fun
0:42
one. Cole's an awesome guy.
0:44
I'm glad he he made the drive up here and I'm glad he got home OK
0:47
'cause it started snowing when he when he left.
0:49
But yeah, enjoy and let us know if you enjoyed this episode.
0:54
Alright guys, let's check out our sponsors and then dive right
0:57
into this one. This podcast is sponsored by
1:00
East Coast Drift School. East Coast Drift School is a
1:02
driving school focused on learning the art of drifting,
1:05
conveniently located at the greatest drifting facility in
1:08
the United States, Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
1:11
Raceway Park currently has three tracks, so you will have a few
1:14
options to choose from when setting up your lessons.
1:17
Chris Knapp, who is part of the Raceway Park family, will be
1:19
your teacher as he guides you through car setup and technique.
1:22
If you are more of a seasoned driver, E Coaster School is also
1:25
the place where you can get some extra seat time.
1:27
Chris allows private track time when no instructing as well so
1:30
that you can get some tests and tune runs in before that big
1:32
event or competition you have coming up.
1:34
Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
1:36
boys, consider signing up with E Coaster School the next time
1:39
they release their schedule. Chris releases schedule on the
1:42
16th of every month through Instagram.

Chase Bays has been a household name in our industry for over 15
1:55
years, supplying us with tons of fluid power products such as
1:59
power steering cooler kits, oil catch cans, engine oil coolers,
2:03
hydraulic handbrake kits, and of course their dual piston brake
2:06
booster delete kits which fit a wide variety of vehicles.
2:10
The core values of Chase Bays is function, simplicity, quality
2:15
and aesthetic. All of their products are user
2:17
friendly and easy to install while of course looking the
2:20
part. The quality of their products
2:22
has only increased over the years and now with Front Street
2:24
Drift Club being a sponsored team of Chase Bays, you can
2:27
guarantee the products are stress tested as well.
2:30
I'm currently digging their compact intercooler sprayer
2:33
reservoir kit. This kit includes a pump and
2:35
pigtail to wire it up to any switch you want.
2:38
I've been a big fan of sleek looking OEM style intercooler
2:41
sprayers ever since Subaru had one on the STI and this kit
2:44
provides you with what you need to get started.
2:47
If you need any more info on any of their products, make sure to
2:50
take a look at their product descriptions.
2:52
They have some of the most detailed descriptions I've read
2:54
with tons of information. You can check out Chase Bay's
2:57
products and place your orders directly on our website at
3:00
factionmotorsports.com. And make sure to use the coupon
3:02
code Chase Bay's After Hours with no spaces to save on
3:07
checkout. This podcast is also sponsored
3:10
by Automotive Specialty Wraps. Automotive Specialty Wraps is a
3:13
company specializing in paint protection, film vehicle wraps,
3:16
ceramic coatings, and window tinting located in Fairlawn, New
3:19
Jersey. Owned and operated by car
3:21
enthusiasts and Drifters, their technicians have over 10 years
3:24
of experience in the industry. Ceramic coating is one of their
3:27
specialities and is the service they offer that caught my eye
3:30
first. In the 60s, NASA and the US
3:33
military formulated a ceramic coating to be used on spacecraft
3:36
and planes. This coating would be able to
3:39
protect them from harsh conditions.
3:41
Following that, in the early 2000s, ceramic coatings were
3:45
revamped to be used in the automotive industry.
3:48
These coatings give your cars paint extra protection while
3:51
also making it shine. Wax only last for a couple of
3:54
weeks at most, but ceramic coatings last for a year or
3:56
longer. They perform a full 2 stage
3:59
Polish to the car beforehand to make sure the vehicle is in
4:02
perfect condition before applying the coating.
4:04
This service can also be applied to wheels, which would be the
4:06
best thing you can do to a new set of wheels you just picked up
4:09
if you are looking to protect them for years to come.
4:11
As mentioned, they also offer window tinting and paint
4:14
protection film installations. Now everyone knows what window
4:17
tinting is, but these guys offer carbon or ceramic tinting
4:21
depending on your needs. Paint protection film or PPF is
4:24
a great idea for those new vehicle owners that want to
4:27
protect their paint before it gets chipped up driving down the
4:29
highway. I always suggest having at least
4:32
the front end done in PPF like the front bumper, fenders and
4:36
hood. ASW is now offering mobile
4:38
detailing and this is no basic car wash, it's more of a 2 hour
4:41
spa session for your car using special soaps designed to
4:45
extract toxins out of your paint.
4:47
And the best part is they will come to your house, job or even
4:50
our shop when your car is being serviced to get the wash done.
4:53
From protecting your tow rigs exterior to full delivery
4:56
installations on your drift car, they have you covered.
4:59
You can contact them at automotive specialtywraps.com
5:02
and make sure to mention our podcast.
5:04
They are currently offering 10% off mobile washes and tinting
5:07
services for our listeners. Limitless Auto Fab is a
5:10
fabrication shop and retailer located in Illinois.
5:13
They produce bash bars and catch cans for a bunch of popular
5:16
models in the drifting community.
5:18
We started selling their products earlier this year and
5:20
have heard nothing but great things since.
5:23
Limitless bash bars are honestly the industry standard right now.
5:26
Fabricated from inch and a half mild steel tubes, these bars are
5:29
designed to take the impact of light collisions in order to
5:32
avoid or minimize damage to your body or frame.
5:35
My favorite part about these bash bars is that they are
5:37
designed in a way that helps hold most aftermarket bumpers up
5:40
at the correct height, unlike a lot of other aftermarket bars
5:43
that require you to either Weld additional brackets on or
5:46
install those big foam rubber pieces to raise the bumpers up
5:49
to avoid bumper sag. This is a huge pet peeve of mine
5:53
when installing bash bars at the shop, so I'm really glad about
5:56
this feature. Gone are the days of trying to
5:59
keep your rusty rear factory crash bar because you are
6:02
worried about bumper fitment issues with an aftermarket one.
6:05
Their bars also come with jacking points and optional
6:07
license plate brackets, so everything you need is right
6:10
there from the start. Limitless Auto also sells catch
6:13
cans for a handful of specific models.
6:15
These cans are built in house and chassis specific.
6:18
We have used these cans before in the shop with no issues and
6:21
they look great as well. The guys over at Limitless are
6:24
on social media as well at Limitless under score Auto under
6:28
score Fab. So please make sure to check out
6:30
their Instagram and give them a follow.

6:35
from Front Street Drift Club to Animal Style.

8:15
Oh, the crowd's nice and awake today.
8:17
Look at that. Oh, we can actually hear it.
8:20

8:21
now. Are you that we're going to do
8:24

8:26
something? I'm not recording it.
8:28
OK. Cool, Malcolm's here.
8:31
Yeah, it's technical difficulties and I don't want
8:33
this to get deleted so. Frankie is ready to beat Malcolm
8:36
really bad right now. Look at him.
8:38
So out of pocket that is not even.
8:40
No, he's not. He's not.
8:41
They don't do that here on Wednesday.
8:44
All right, so we got Cole Manning here.
8:46
Thanks for coming. On how you doing, Cole?
8:48
Doing pretty good all right. Can't.
8:49
Complain he won 80 all the way here.
8:51
Yeah, he really did. I might get into some shit on
8:54
the way back, it's snowing, but. Yeah.
8:56
Is it really? Allegedly.
8:57
It was snowing the OR flurrying the other night here in New
9:00
Jersey. I know Cole's dad is listening
9:02
to this right now so I just want to say Cole was like, I wish my
9:05
dad didn't tell me it was snowing that way I just wouldn't
9:08
know and I would just drive home later and not know.
9:11
But now I know so I'm panicking. I don't.
9:12
Think it's gonna and and I've 180D in the snow before or not
9:17
180D but 240D in the snow before and it's a pretty fun.
9:20
Time. It's a lot different than 180
9:22
ING. Yeah, mine was pretty high.
9:25
No, it's literally the same thing.
9:26
No, but my car was high. Kohl's is not.
9:29
Your car is not high. No.
9:31
I don't know if anybody saw the thumbnail, but that's do.
9:34
You think your car is high in the air or do you think it's
9:36
low? I mean, it's definitely low, but
9:38
it's not like the lowest thing ever.
9:41
It's pretty low. I don't agree with him.
9:42
I think it's pretty low. I think it's yeah.
9:45
This is going to be a episode where you're going to be
9:48
bringing up a lot of stuff. Malcolm, I'm sorry, why?
9:50
He moves the beer. Wait, why?
9:52
Because I'm just having. We got to look at Cole's car for
9:55
one, and all his idols that we need.
9:58
To what's the name of that style that you have your car styled
10:00
in? Isn't it like?
10:02
Isn't there a word for? That so there's a couple
10:03
different things, right. So I guess my main style thing
10:08
is Tohoku style, which is like there's a region in Japan called
10:14
Tohoku and that's where you know, like break ito from the
10:20
Tohoku. That's what the red car?
10:21
Yeah, that's I think we talked about this.
10:24
But does that mean like low style or?
10:26
It was more so just like that look so like the low usually
10:29
like mono block Tees or something that's weird and then
10:32
like stock arrow. Is the actual name like a city
10:37
or is it just? It's like the region, so like
10:39
NE, that's what it is. It's northeast.
10:42
So like weird, weird. Tohoku.
10:44
So like when I went there and I talked to him, he was like, oh,
10:47
you're Tohoku style, but America.
10:50
Yeah. Cool, that's fire because you
10:52
have been there, Yes, right. Should have told told him that's
10:55
NE style. Yeah, you should have been like,
10:57
yeah, that's New Jersey. That's that Philly style.
10:59
Whoa. Yeah, I guess Pennsylvania is
11:01
not NE, is it? No, it is.
11:04
It is. I'm trying to think if there's
11:05
another car up here. Paulo's car was.
11:09
We had lost town and all them. Yeah, that too.
11:11
I'm like OK but. I had another friend named Paula
11:13
who had a 180 as well that was styled, yeah, it was styled
11:17
like, very like K style type of yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:21
Look. K Spec.
11:22
Not that woo woo KSPL baby coming back to you live.
11:27
But yeah, we're we're K specials on hold right now while I try to
11:31
move stuff around. But it's going to come back.
11:33
It's going to come back and it's going to be better and I'm going
11:35
to finish the IS and that's going to be the first card done
11:36
and you guys are going to see. I like your hat.
11:39
Oh yeah, this is this is the new Faction Motorsports Beanie Wow
11:44
specially fitted. I'm sweating.
11:46
It's so good. Yeah.
11:47
Oh, Malcolm's going on too. Wow, Malcolm's is backwards so
11:50
you can't see it. Yeah, you know why he told me he
11:52
likes doing that? Why?
11:54
So that people don't stare at his forehead like and look at
11:57
him. That's exactly why I have it
12:00
this way, because that way you don't have to look at me, you're
12:02
just looking. No, but then then like focus.
12:04
Tactic they'll. Focus on that and be like, what
12:06
does that? Say right between the eyes,
12:07
Frankie, right here, sales tactic.
12:09
Look right there. Look, I'm looking right at you.
12:11
I don't know. I don't get it.
12:12
Would you like to buy some Windows?
12:13
Yes. OK, see.
12:14
You have one that can fit the door.
12:16
I'm trying to put a window in that front door.
12:20
Oh. I was like.
12:22
I don't know you're selling Windows.
12:24
I actually know somebody who sells windows, which is funny.
12:27
If you're curious, you can talk about that.
12:29
Like glass like. Yeah, like Windows.
12:31
I'll have to hit them up, yeah. Andy.
12:33
Anyway. Yo shut out Andy.
12:35
Yeah, Andy NIB, I don't know if he sells those kinds of windows,
12:39
but we're going to try and we're going to make this happen.
12:41
You might put some food on his plate.
12:43
I'm down. I'm all about putting food on
12:46
people's plates. You know what I'm talking about.
12:47
Yeah. I don't know what that meant,
12:49
but sounded weird. I don't do for work, Cole.
12:55
That's an awkward question. Yeah, right.
12:57
Now nothing. Yo word.
12:59
He builds one 80s, yeah. So you need any.
13:02
I get other people to build them for me what I'm doing.
13:05
But you style them, yeah. I have the vision.
13:09
It's only one. He's only styled 1.
13:10
I'm like a, I'm like a. Console.
13:12
Yeah, exactly. That would be like a peak job.
13:15
I wish. There was been everybody else's
13:17
money. I had a business model for that
13:19
for a little while where I was like, oh, you can just like
13:22
consult if you wanted to do like tertiaries of like things and
13:26
you send them like a suggestion. Like you remember Fitment
13:29
Industries before Fitment Industries there was like
13:32
another website, I can't remember what.
13:33
It was no. But don't they?
13:34
But you type in the spec of a wheel, you type in your car, and
13:36
then it's there and maybe somebody has a photo of it and
13:38
then, yeah. It's pretty cool.
13:40
It's a good concept until you like can't find anything really.
13:44
I mean, dude, I've used that website they have, they have a
13:46
lot of stuff. Yeah, and it's useful, but then
13:50
like. How do they make money?
13:51
They sell wheels on it, right? Advertise.
13:53
I don't know. I think they sell wheels.
13:55
Because what I'm saying is like, maybe there was like a console.
13:57
So you're like a console for 180 because.
14:01
You saying a lot? Because you, you, you got you
14:02
nerd out about. I mean, it's you test fitting
14:05
kits. Fucking every time I see Cole
14:09
doing it, I'm like, bro, just leave it on.
14:12
You put it on already. How many times are we going to
14:14
test fit this thing? But it's part of the process,
14:18
so. I liked your car when it was.
14:19
It was your loss arrow, right? It was like the origin.
14:23
So it's like aggressive. Yeah, but it was back when it
14:26
was because they updated it, right?
14:28
Yeah, it was back when it was the exact same thing.
14:30
Oh, OK. Yeah, it looks really.
14:32
Yeah, it really did look exactly like it.
14:35
Now that I see your car now, though, it's hard for me to
14:37
imagine it the way it was before.
14:40
Knowing what you like like. I actually like that body kit a
14:43
lot. I like it.
14:44
I. Like it too.
14:45
Like if if it didn't fit like this is not against anything but
14:52
when I got the car it was messed up.
14:54
Like the toe was reglassed and. Stuff, so it didn't fit.
14:57
Perfect. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:59
OK, well, I'm going to stop you right there, Cole.
15:01
I already know that even if it fit perfectly, you would have
15:03
got rid of it and you would have got hot.
15:04
No. Because here's the thing, if I
15:06
was keeping that, if it was all good and it fit nice, then I was
15:09
going to do like Sekia Hills style like that blue Sekia Hills
15:13
I. Don't think he would have
15:14
though. I was literally going.
15:16
I literally have sucky hill stickers but.
15:18
I feel like break ito is like your goal.
15:20
Well, yeah, that's like the second.
15:22
Eventually it was gonna be that anyway.
15:23
Pull it up. Sekia Hill style?
15:25
Give it a GOOG. No Sekia Hill style, I'm
15:28
thinking GT wing something bright colour.
15:32
I don't know if I have any pictures of.
15:34
Him. Is it SEIK?
15:35
No, no, no. SEKI.
15:37
A what I'm thinking is there's a car that Diego just painted like
15:40
maybe within this past year that's orange thrash just
15:42
reshared it. It was a it's on Instagram.
15:45
I think his name is Sayala. Oh yeah, that car is the one. 80
15:47
That is what I think of when you thought.
15:48
Is it 180 or is it S15? What was it?
15:52
What kind? Of car it's a 180.
15:53
I think that first blue one, yeah, that one.
15:59
Yeah. That's what I think of is like a
16:01
wing. Maybe that's actually not what
16:03
I. That's what Cole's car looked
16:05
like, honestly. But I love that orange car
16:07
though with the wing on it that was talking about.
16:10
Yeah, that car is cool. But that one is also cool.
16:13
Everyone loves these Sekia Hills car.
16:16
What is that? Is that That's a track, right?
16:18
Yeah, well, it used to be a track.
16:19
So there is a shop called Deck Dec but it's.
16:23
Oh, I see it there. OK.
16:24
And. It was a shop that they had at
16:26
Seki Hills, and those were like the demo cars, OK.
16:31
And then Seki Hills closed and put a solar farm on.
16:35
It yeah, Which is yeah, that's, that's highly unfortunate.
16:39
I played that track on a sutto and that was a cool track.
16:43
So sick. Yeah, so.
16:44
Cool after turn 1, there's that little like huge dip.
16:48
It's like like if you. Fuck it up.
16:49
You're. Yard sailing, everything, yeah,
16:53
that is. Look, they even made it in the
16:55
video game thing. That front height though is
16:58
nice. You know what I'm talking.
16:59
About yeah, I know this is like. Look at how nice and usable that
17:03
front. Yeah, this is how car should be.
17:05
Cool. Turn it.
17:06
Is that not your height? That is kind of your.
17:08
No, it's not. It's.
17:09
Off by like an inch this. Shit is lower.
17:11
I mean this is pretty low though.
17:12
It looks like it's not but it. Yeah, that's like I would be OK
17:15
driving that and being like, Oh yeah, this is cool still.
17:19
I like but. When you see a rear over, when
17:21
you see a rear quarter panel, that's not an over Fender.
17:24
That's what I was about to say. And you had and you can see the
17:26
tire. That means it is pretty high in
17:28
the air. But it looks once you put an
17:30
over Fender on it, everything is like confusing because if if you
17:34
put an over Fender on that car right there, it would be like it
17:38
would probably be it would probably be Fender to lip
17:42
because if that quarter panels pulled it pulls it up.
17:45
A little bit when I think of putting an over on that, I
17:47
immediately think it will look like Tom's car.
17:52
That's what different. I feel like it changes it for me
17:54
because like, look at how well. No, but Tom's got type 3.
17:57
So it's like thick arrow but with stock body.
18:00
Like look at that. That looks so cool.
18:02
Like, I don't know. I like that car the way it is.
18:04
It brings it like it, it dates itself and then it it like I
18:08
like it. Are those metal fenders on
18:09
front? No, no, right?
18:11
M Sports. Yeah, OK yeah, I I knew you
18:15
would know every intricate detail I'm.
18:18
Just looking at it and like you guys talk what what I find
18:22
myself doing when you guys talk about these different styles as
18:25
I'm like I I look at that and I like it because it's an S
18:28
chassis. It's S13, it's a hatch like it's
18:31
got cool arrow on it. It's what I associate with the
18:35
term S13, I guess. Can you?
18:37
Click the photo below to the right.
18:39
Malcolm, Yeah. Oh yeah, there's a little
18:43
winging 10 is. That a real photo, Yeah, right.
18:46
Yeah. It's like a scan from a.
18:48
Max, a scan of a real. Yeah, OK, that looks good.
18:53
See it is low though you could tell by the rear.
18:55
I don't know. I mean it does look camber.
18:57
Those look big. You can never tell because
19:00
unless you can see how much the quarter panels pulled.
19:02
But now you gravitate. You moved your car from that to
19:06
a more of a hot Rd. So that's the other style that
19:10
you like, the Northeast? Yeah, so no matter what I was
19:14
going to do, like Cokie OEM plus style, I guess eventually it was
19:19
just a matter of like, I guess the big thing was I blew up the
19:25
Urus kit pretty good. So I was like, well, I guess
19:29
it's time to buy a body kit. How'd you do that?
19:31
I was going to a car show, not to be in the car show.
19:34
It was like some boomer car show with like Porsches and stuff,
19:37
and it was out of school and there was speed bumps in the
19:42
school, like getting there to the parking lot.
19:44
Speed bumps were fine. Like I scraped, but not anything
19:47
like major. And then when I actually got to
19:49
where the parking was, they're like, Oh yeah, you have to park
19:52
on the grass. I was like, oh.
19:55
Sick so. I think I remember this
19:58
happening. Actually, it was literally the
20:00
week before I left for Japan the first time.
20:03
So like, I wasn't super angry about it because I was like,
20:06
that's fine. Did you like run over your front
20:09
bumper? Yeah, kind of.
20:11
I did. I did the thing where like I'm
20:13
driving forward, Yeah. And then I can see the edges of
20:16
the bumper going upwards. And then I was like, that's not
20:20
good. So then I started backing up and
20:21
then I could see the front of the bumper and I'm.
20:24
Like, yeah, you just got stuck and that was that.
20:27
Like you couldn't go forward or backwards.
20:30
Yeah, so that front bumper got pretty messed up.
20:32
It was already like, like I said, the fitment on the
20:35
passenger side, JDM passenger side, because it's real 180
20:41
passenger side was like really off with the Fender.
20:46
Yeah. So it just never fit super well,
20:48
did you? The rear and the skirts were
20:49
like perfect. Though did you have fiberglass
20:51
fenders on there originally? Or not.
20:52
So originally when I got the car it was like origin, 55 mils on
20:57
the floor really with the stock rear.
20:59
And what did you end up putting on there?
21:01
Stock metal that. Probably looked wonky.
21:03
Yeah, like it was. That's.
21:05
Confused. It was definitely.
21:07
Someone probably just like threw them on there to sell the car or
21:10
something. They feel like, yeah, that
21:12
doesn't make sense. All right.
21:14
Well, we did a lot of work to that car too when you originally
21:17
got it I think and then. You do want it.
21:20
I wish I could tell you, but I don't remember, was that, did
21:23
you bring it here twice or was it only that one time or the
21:25
last time? Twice.
21:27
That's what I thought. OK.
21:28
The first time I brought it here, it was I had already had
21:31
it for maybe like two years. It was already like low at that
21:35
point because when I got it was like monster truck, like really
21:38
bad. And then the coilers were
21:40
seized. So how long have you had the
21:41
car? February will be four years.
21:45
Like you got it right when COVID started.
21:47
Right, 2021. February 2021.
21:51
So like a year into COVID? Yeah, yeah.
21:54
You brought COVID here on that thing.
21:56
Yeah. Sorry I I just remember getting
22:00
a package from overseas during COVID and I was like you were
22:03
scared I don't know maybe I should not open this.
22:08
Do you remember cable that I just ordered?
22:10
From eBay, Do you remember when they were putting like dollar
22:12
bills and like, what is that thing, Malcolm?
22:15
Do you remember they'd put in some kind of weird case and it
22:17
shot like sunlight at it or something like UV rays?
22:20
What? Yeah, people were doing this.
22:22
They're like, Oh yeah. That is.
22:24
How did you get to that from me ordering something?
22:27
Because like, if they if they get something and they put it in
22:29
there and they'd like, they thought like, oh, it might have
22:32
COVID on it. I'm like, what?
22:35
I don't think that's how it works.
22:37
Yeah. People were freaking out.
22:38
So you took delivery of that thing during in 2021?
22:42
I picked it up in a Walmart parking lot.
22:44
Was it already stateside or did you get through an importer?
22:47
I got it from an import dealership so I had.
22:50
I was like eyeing this car for a while because it was in the
22:53
auctions for a pretty long time because it ended up being kind
22:56
of like a piece of shit, but. Well, don't they tell you like
22:59
the grade and everything? Yeah, but that's like, people
23:03
fudge stuff all the time and it's like, what?
23:05
Grade, but if it's bad was it a plus?
23:08
No, it was, it was like R, which is you.
23:10
That's the tough thing with the grades is like you could get an
23:14
R grade just for having like a body kit.
23:17
Not necessarily, I don't know like the specifics of.
23:19
It what does R mean? Just like, really.
23:23
I think we tried to look this up once, but it was hard to to
23:26
figure it out. So.
23:28
I don't know if you want to look that up now, but.
23:30
Sorry, I'm just giggling because I was.
23:32
I don't know, I was going to make a joke.
23:34
What does R mean? Joke.
23:37
All right, Carl's getting crazy. Brain melt brain.
23:42
Rot. Is that what it's?
23:43
Called. Yeah, it's bad all.
23:46
Right, I want to see this grading system.
23:48
The grading system, the little check sheet, the little.
23:51
Chart Yeah. See Grade R stands for vehicles
23:55
with repair history OO. Or major modification.
23:58
Like a stroker kid. Like a wide body kid or
24:00
something. That's bad though.
24:02
Like grade R can either mean it's it's great or it's totaled
24:06
and. My car was the totaled one.
24:09
Hey. That's that's a risk that you
24:11
take and I'm sure is put there in a very strategic.
24:15
Fashion. So here's the thing.
24:17
It was at the dealership and actually got, you know, the red
24:23
DM180. It was in Houston.
24:25
Essence. Essence, Kevin.
24:27
Yeah, yeah. The Red 180SX Texas, Yeah.
24:30
So I didn't, we didn't know each other at all.
24:34
I knew his car and I followed him because of his car.
24:36
But the car was in Houston. I was like, hey dude, you know
24:40
these cars, Do you want to go look at this for me?
24:42
So it was already, it was already imported like.
24:46
Yeah, so I, I didn't buy it until after it got here, but I
24:50
was like, I'd seen it in the auctions.
24:52
OK, what did Kevin say to you? He did like a full report
24:56
basically and all that stuff. I I like sent him like a
24:59
template. Yeah.
25:00
He was like, it's not awful. Like you can, it's a base for a
25:05
build. So I was like, OK.
25:07
Yeah, no, I mean, it's definitely not awful.
25:09
And then I got it and there was a ratchet strap holding on the
25:11
intercooler which he told me about.
25:13
And then I I talked to them about it and they're like, Oh
25:16
yeah, we'll fix it. It came with the registrar.
25:19
Yeah, I. Still have it in my room.
25:21
I think that's. That's that's not as bad as what
25:24
I feel like you could get. Yeah, you could definitely get
25:27
worse. Like it's not.
25:29
Super rough frame rot like floor rot, like like everything just
25:34
just rot is what would piss me off if that's what the route
25:37
that I chose to take was like going to out of my way to go get
25:41
like this. Really nice hatch if in this
25:44
case and then getting like a rat box like I would hate that.
25:48
Yeah. And to be fair, I wasn't
25:49
necessarily looking for pristine because I knew I was going to
25:53
drift it. Oh, that's smart.
25:55
Well, did you have no. Did you know this about Cole?
25:59
What did you have? The IS already at this time.
26:02
Did I know this about Cole? He knows more.
26:05
Than. Anybody come on I'm the OG
26:06
faction IS blue. Before me, Before me.
26:11
His IS was here blue. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:14
And it was nice. And it was OEM manual.
26:17
Mint as fuck. I'm so sorry about that by the
26:20
way. Yeah.
26:21
Do you have a picture of it on your Instagram?
26:23
Do you have a picture of it totaled on your Instagram?
26:24
That's. What I want, yes.
26:27
Cool. So Malcolm, if you Scroll down
26:30
that's so there's going to be a picture of my of the 180 like
26:35
three quarter view. I mean, it's like all blue down
26:38
more, a little bit more, a little bit more.
26:47
That one right next to the wheel.
26:48
Picture this. Grading system is so.
26:50
Ridiculous click like the next slide.
26:53
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
26:54
Pull, pull that up, Yeah. That's literally Carl.
26:58
That looks metal. That looks so.
27:00
Good. I had.
27:02
I had the Gannadors on there before I had anything else.
27:04
On the oh shit, so it's like. Stock ride height, stock wheel
27:08
and then I also I bought a. Pair of headlights.
27:11
Yeah, yeah. I bought a pair of CR Kiwamis
27:15
without buying like another pair.
27:16
So I had the 16 stocks, you know what those are.
27:20
I had the 16 stocks in the front and then the 17 inch CR Kiwamis
27:24
in the rear. That probably drove real wonky.
27:27
It looks so fucking stupid but. That thing is sweet.
27:31
Look at that. Yo, so when you got into
27:34
drifting, did you have any specific cars you liked or was
27:36
it more like? Yeah, like I was definitely.
27:39
I always wanted an S chassis. Oh, OK.
27:41
Why'd you get this then? The IS because I didn't have any
27:45
money and my parents were going to help me buy a car but the
27:47
stipulation was I had to have an airbag.
27:50
It's like I had to have. Multiple airbags.
27:52
Yeah, there's a few in there. And then when I put my racing
27:54
seat in it, my mom got really mad because there's an airbag in
27:57
the. Yeah.
27:58
She was like, are you taking airbags out?
28:00
I'm. Like just one it's just one got
28:02
like 6 more it's. Just one.
28:03
It's there because they Swash around in that seat.
28:06
You should just have been like, mom, you said, a airbag.
28:08
There's a airbag in here. I'm taking out the extra.
28:10
Through the window there was a thrash seat in there and that is
28:12
literally what my car looks like from.
28:14
That did it come with the thrash seat?
28:16
No. I got it like completely
28:17
stocked. OK.
28:18
Only thing it had was it had the Alteza grill but it had like a
28:21
Lexus badge. OK, yeah, cuz I remember.
28:24
I mean, we should go over you. You went to California at some
28:29
point when you were young, and yeah, you took drifting lessons.
28:33
I did. With who was it?
28:34
Taka Ono OG pretty crazy. What the fuck, usus?
28:39
Drifting. Yeah.
28:40
So I learned on an 88 six. Yeah, it's pretty.
28:42
Sick. What the hell was this?
28:44
Cool. Yeah, what the fuck?
28:45
I was 19 so I forget. What, so like two years ago?
28:49
Probably like 20-3 years ago. Team Four or did that make that
28:52
up? 2018.
28:54
OK, 5. Yeah, 6.
28:56
So like right before you came here.
28:58
Yeah, so I had the IS already. Are you from California?
29:02
No. OK, I thought I was missing at
29:04
large. No, no, no.
29:05
He's from here. And they got into drifting and
29:07
then I don't know how you ended up at that school.
29:10
Yeah, maybe we should. That's like a little far away
29:12
from here. Yeah, a little bit.
29:13
How'd you end up doing that or making that connection?
29:16
I was just trying to figure out ways to actually drift because
29:19
the car wasn't ready for it yet. And that was like going to be a
29:24
whole thing. And and my mom was trying to
29:28
think of ideas of like family vacation stuff.
29:31
And I was doing research on like drift schools or whatever.
29:35
And then I saw this one and I'm like, oh, that's Taka.
29:38
Oh, I can learn how to drift on 88 six.
29:41
Nobody else is going to let you do.
29:42
That and there weren't really a lot of drift schools.
29:44
Then yeah, what the fuck this is sick.
29:46
Like East Coast Drift school was not a thing.
29:49
Yet which if you are now. This thing is not a thing.
29:52
It's not a thing. There's nothing.
29:54
And then I literally right after you did that, they started
29:57
making schools. Yeah.
29:58
And then even when they did that, I still went over there
30:00
because it was, that's my buddy now.
30:03
Yeah, that's cool. So you drifted his 8/6 or what?
30:06
The school? The school's 8/6.
30:08
Yeah, it's his, it's his car, but he's got like 6-8 sixes or
30:13
something. What did he have you do?
30:14
Do you remember? Started off like Donuts and then
30:18
figure eights and then I think by the end of the day, maybe not
30:22
the first time, but maybe the first time, I think by the end
30:26
of the day I was doing like third gear entries.
30:29
Holy shit. What track was this at
30:32
Irwindale? Willow Springs Balcony, you
30:35
know, like the big, it's basically just like a big skid
30:38
pad and there's like that. Green building, yeah, I've
30:41
definitely seen that. I've seen people learning how to
30:43
drift there too. That's cool as hell.
30:45
What the fuck? And then you came here and then
30:48
got an eye. Yeah, so he came here and he
30:49
told me that whole story and I was like, oh wow, what the fuck?
30:52
And I think that was actually I had gone a second time since
30:56
before because then I drove the first time I went, I drove a 88
31:01
six. And then he also had like a
31:02
stock IS. So I was like, Oh yeah, for
31:06
sure. What are you doing that?
31:09
Big piss guy over here. Just staring him to the window.
31:14
Were you going to call? All right, Sorry.
31:18
But yeah, and then the second time I went, I did the 86 again
31:26
and then I did like a VQ S14. Oh.
31:28
Really. So it was like a VQ and the CD?
31:31
Oh no. Why do people put V QS in
31:32
anything? I think it was literally just
31:34
because it was like more, it was like 300 ish horsepower, so it
31:39
was like and not turbo. I think it was the big thing
31:42
because that brings a whole lot more maintenance stuff.
31:46
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.
31:47
But it's like, why don't you just buy AZ then?
31:51
I think you just didn't like ZS. Yeah, I agree with that.
31:54
Just like yeah, but it's, I don't know, it seems like a lot
31:56
of work. You know, I'd probably leave AKA
31:58
in there NA before I did all that work.
32:00
He had one of those, too. OK, this guy's rich, all right?
32:03
Nevermind. But he doesn't still do pro
32:06
drifting, right? So is he just doing the school?
32:08
He does the school, he does spotting for one of the Pro 2.
32:11
Guys. Oh, of course that makes sense.
32:13
Or pro spec, whatever it is. Yeah.
32:15
And then he just posted something recently he's helping
32:18
with like feeder series, like Pro am feeder series, I think,
32:23
OK, I don't know the details on it, but you.
32:25
Plan on going back there eventually.
32:27
I don't know. We'll see.
32:30
I haven't seen him in a little while.
32:31
Feel like the more the focus is on your own car now and trying
32:34
to. Yeah, like I would totally take
32:36
my car out there. Yeah, that would be different.
32:39
The only thing is it would be like the idea of you bringing
32:42
your car there is for like setup tips and it would immediately be
32:46
hey raise your car. And I'm like, no, well, does he
32:50
have a history of like drifting low cars at some point or?
32:53
No, I don't know anything about him.
32:55
I know he, I know he drove an A86.
32:56
For a long time. Yeah, yeah, I well, early days I
33:01
wouldn't say anything was like super low, but you don't
33:04
generally have like slammed 8 sixes though.
33:07
I don't know, they're pretty small because they got small
33:09
wheels. But have you seen, have you seen
33:11
like the way that he has his he would have his set up to drive
33:14
like with other people. It's like it's like a pretty
33:17
performance oriented car. Like it wasn't on the.
33:20
This is the This is the same guy that was in FD with an A86 for a
33:23
long time. That's the one he.
33:25
Only has a. That's the only car that I.
33:27
Started in the beginning of FD until 2015.
33:30
Yeah, when he left, that was when I stopped giving a shit.
33:33
About FD, that is the only car that I know from TACA.
33:36
That's it. Yeah, I I'm not like I'm not so
33:40
knowledgeable with it, but since I know that I'm like, oh, OK,
33:42
that must how much? Power did that thing make?
33:45
Does anyone know? Can you look?
33:46
Up this guy. What was what?
33:47
Was the power by the 20 valve? By the end of it he had like
33:52
some V6 in it I think. Oh, really?
33:54
And he's making. Like 5.
33:57
I thought it was still a 4 cylinder.
34:01
No, no. Way ran that for a while like he
34:03
had like hassle Green Motorsports which do like it's
34:06
called Formula Atlantic. So it's like Formula open wheel
34:09
cars but they have 4 AG ES in them.
34:11
He had those engines in them at some point and then turboed
34:15
them. Everyone loves that engine.
34:17
I like the way it sounds. Do you ever hear when it gets on
34:19
the gas and it's like like fucking?
34:22
No, but I know you're talking about.
34:23
The third time I went there he had two eight sixes, so he had
34:27
like the normal one, which was just like a standard blue top 16
34:30
valve with like 90 horsepower or whatever and then he had another
34:34
one that was. 380. 450 eventually at the wheels.
34:40
Yeah. Yo, he's running an F Well that
34:43
was a turbo 2 transmission that his interest.
34:47
That was with just the four AG, so I think later when he had the
34:50
other engine in it, it made more.
34:52
Bro this can you. Give us a photo.
34:53
This AI thing is freaky on the search engine.
34:55
It's actually pretty good. It's pretty useful.
34:57
Yeah. It's scary.
34:58
You can watch AI get better. Whoa.
35:00
In real time. Get smoked.
35:03
Yeah, I remember that car. Holy shit.
35:06
Yeah, do this thing, I think sweet.
35:08
Yeah, the car had some swag too, which was cool.
35:10
Frankie, I found the shell. He lost every 500 every time.
35:13
3500 I found the shell. It's one of those.
35:16
How much of a shell is a shell like it's got nut?
35:19
Roller interior 2. I'd probably consider that dude.
35:23
Right next to your fucking other one that doesn't run and is also
35:26
not complete. Right.
35:27
Might as well just put on you. Should put it next to the other
35:29
one that's not complete and the other one and the other one
35:32
that's also not complete. Are you done?
35:36
Yeah, OK. All right, well, that was cool.
35:42
The the big thing with Taka too is because he's like OGOG guy.
35:47
It was like a more he taught me and because I wanted this, he
35:50
taught me more like Japanese style driving.
35:53
So he like hit you like when he. Gave up.
35:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He would smack me.
35:57
He would crash into me. On purpose?
36:01
No, but. Fucking retarded Carl.
36:08
So he beat you did. He beat you to a pulp when you
36:10
didn't get an A pulp. Yeah, no, it wasn't like that.
36:15
Did he put a cup in by the fucking air vent and then make
36:18
you not spill he? Had a really good story going
36:20
and then, all right, sorry. So he was giving you like an old
36:24
school? Yeah, and baby old school like
36:27
style of driving. And then I think one of the
36:30
other cool things too is we would just like, we would just
36:34
talk because I was also learning Japanese at that point.
36:38
So he would. Just like he speaks English, he
36:40
speaks like perfect English, but just because I also was learning
36:43
Japanese, we would practice a little bit.
36:44
Speak Japanese, Yeah. And then he would just, like,
36:48
tell me random stories from back in the day and like, little tips
36:51
like, Oh, yeah, if your car's hot and you're parking in the
36:55
pit and you need it to cool down, you park in the direction
36:58
that the wind is blowing. That's a crazy shit.
37:01
What? The fuck that's a crazy shit not
37:03
going to those lanes. I thought you were going to tell
37:04
me yo. He ain't wrong, but that is some
37:06
that is some Japanese shit I thought.
37:08
Well. It really is.
37:10
You know where I would park it? I would go right up to that
37:12
little embankment at E Town right outside of Pete's, like
37:15
close to the tower machine. Park it straight up that bitch.
37:19
Fucking Americans just like, yeah, make sure you leave it on.
37:22
That's all that we thought of. Just leave it on.
37:24
So the fan's on, but he's like, oh, park in the direction of the
37:28
wind. That's crazy, man.
37:30
Damn man, just why the fuck? Why are we so behind?
37:33
No, we're not behind, it's just our style is different.
37:37
I know, but that's cool. Your style's different, my style
37:39
different coal style. Different.
37:40
Imagine you're getting out of the car.
37:41
Like, hold on, I got to move. It's funny because there's stuff
37:46
like that, but then there's other things where, like, I
37:48
think the first time I went and we pulled up, he was underneath
37:51
one of the cars, I think changing the oil with a
37:53
cigarette in his mouth. Of course.
37:55
I do the same thing. Sick as shit.
37:57
Yeah, I mean, Carl takes shits with cigarettes in his mouth.
37:59
He does everything. Dude, no I can't.
38:00
I wish I could do that. That'd be sick.
38:03
No cigs in the house. You can't smoke in there.
38:05
No cigs in the house. Can you smoke in here?
38:08
Soon. Once you get that.
38:10
Vengeance dude. Now once all we need is a device
38:13
that would sit right? Here, wait, hear me out,
38:16
Malcolm, I have an idea. Here, I have an idea.
38:19
What if we put the vent right there and we dump it into the
38:24
foyer? What would?
38:27
What is that going to? Do just hot box a foyer with
38:30
cigarette smoke. That sounds like the worst thing
38:32
I've. Ever.
38:33
There might not be any. That's why not just make it go
38:36
outside I. Haven't got to cut a hole in the
38:37
roof and then I don't that's not my building.
38:41
But if you put it into the foyer, you're still going to
38:43
smell it in here. Why don't, why don't you just
38:44
shortcut it right out to the front?
38:49
We're not making this happen. No, we should.
38:51
We should. But it's going to take a minute.
38:53
I just got to quit. Smoking, I guess, Dude, my, I
38:55
mean, my landlord didn't entertain the idea.
38:58
He's like he, I mean, he wanted to make a bar.
39:00
I'm like, Sir, I'm not. I'm pretty.
39:01
Sure, he said. It's fine.
39:02
Yeah, right. A bar.
39:04
He wanted, he's like, oh, you got the bar in there?
39:05
I'm like, there's no bar in here, dude.
39:08
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
39:11
I can this landlord talk is what What he probably said was he
39:15
just wants to hang. Out got a.
39:16
Bar in there, then that to Frankie that means yo.
39:19
I think he'd be OK if we built a Speakeasy in there.
39:22
No, no, I think Malcolm agrees, I think he said.
39:25
Because I brought it up to him, right?
39:28
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. And we'll see.
39:31
It's not. It's not pertinent.
39:34
We didn't go outside and go do whatever it is we got to do but
39:38
you. Said But every time a podcast
39:40
starts you say can I smoke in here?
39:41
So I figured you might want. I know it's kind of, I think
39:43
it's funny. I mean like I've been like
39:46
lessening my consumption of smoking.
39:48
I don't know when I'm going to quit smoking.
39:49
It'll happen eventually, but it's not good for me.
39:51
It's. Not probably when you start
39:52
coughing up tar. Maybe.
39:54
I mean I'm trying to run 1/2 marathon with Javi in the
39:56
fucking spring. I've been running every day this
39:59
week. So far it's been good.
40:00
You do anything like that, Cole? Like physical stuff?
40:03
Yeah, No, absolutely not. How are you trying to get him
40:06
wearing a skateboard dude? Called OH.
40:08
Skateboarding, yeah. OK, I.
40:10
Always like wanted to be good at it but I sucked.
40:12
Malcolm can show you how to kick clip after this.
40:14
Bro, that, that annoys me so greatly that he can just get on
40:18
and do that, Yeah, does it not? I mean, yeah, I I mean he can
40:21
just do anything he wants. So no, But I.
40:23
Got a board in my car. Oh, he brought it.
40:26
It's only -20 out. So you can actually skateboard?
40:29
Like for real? No.
40:30
Oh, OK. I can kind of do an Ollie, but I
40:33
can barely like move on the board.
40:35
Which is OK. So it's pretty bad, all right.
40:37
No, but look, let me tell you that is the funnest shit to get
40:43
an Ollie. No, not not Even so you to learn
40:47
from literally bare bones. You just got to roll from this
40:50
end of the room to the other. You got a lot like that's like
40:53
having seven seasons of a show like loaded up, like you can
40:57
just continuously learn on that one thing.
40:59
That's fun part because then you can before you get to the trick
41:02
portion, you can go like, oh OK, maybe I want to be a long border
41:05
I. Feel like the coolest thing is
41:07
being able to move and Ollie over something.
41:10
Oh yeah, cuz there's like that timing.
41:13
I get freaked out about that. Yeah, me too.
41:15
Terrible. Yeah.
41:17
But when you do it, you're like, oh wow, I can do this.
41:19
I could Ollie over one skateboard and I think I tried
41:21
here and like hurt a little click in my knee and never tried
41:24
it. Again, Yeah, my ankle's not good
41:26
either. No knees.
41:28
Knees are bad. My ankle's fucking fucked up.
41:30
I don't know why. But then Malcolm's fucking
41:33
jumping over off the loading dock and shit, no.
41:35
I'm not doing tray. Flips.
41:37
You probably could though. You probably could though.
41:39
Every. Time you get on a skateboard,
41:40
you're like whatever boop tray flip attempt and I'm like.
41:45
He's like kick flip first try, all right.
41:47
And and when you land like, your feet are just like.
41:50
And for me, when I see that, I'm like, Yep, that's what's going
41:54
to happen. I tried to do a kickflip for
41:55
like 3 years of my life, never landed it.
41:58
But what what I was going to say is like as a joke, like drifting
42:01
and stuff like that. Drifting I feel like is pretty
42:04
taxing on the body and when I'm not physically active versus
42:08
when I'm physically active and I go drifting, that shit goes hand
42:12
and like I'm tired in the car a lot.
42:14
Of hand movement. Yeah, and like arms and legs and
42:18
coordination and shit like. I pull, I pull this muscle all
42:21
the time and if I go drifting because I'm just like.
42:24
Maybe don't E brake, don't use me, maybe don't fucking
42:27
handbrake on. Yeah, you're right.
42:28
I agree with that. That is definitely true.
42:30
And don't. And don't pull the handbrake
42:32
like you like. It's life or death.
42:34
Well, no, I I pulled a handbrake like it's.
42:36
Yeah, me too. I don't know why.
42:39
Like it's going to work whether I.
42:41
Well I I'm doing it with a purpose.
42:42
Like I'm like ha like fuck, fuck it, pulling a handbrake.
42:47
I don't know, does your? Handbrake work.
42:49
Cool. Works good.
42:51
Nice. Handbrake with the left hand
42:52
that's. Handbrake entry at every single
42:54
corner. Oh, OK, so that's embarrassing.
42:57
I said fuck, I was watching all the.
43:00
Videos 180. This sucks.
43:02
Well, at least you know now that you, well, it felt comfortable
43:05
probably and you were probably scared and your car's low.
43:08
Is that the 1st 180 Driftington that you've done?
43:11
First like real? Yeah.
43:13
OK. I definitely haven't done
43:14
anything in a parking lot ever. No, you should.
43:17
I mean, well, yeah, you shouldn't.
43:19
I didn't do that the other day either.
43:21
Yeah, I mean, I've never. Done.
43:22
Yeah, guys, we're not being watched by, like, police.
43:25
We're good. Yeah, you drift in the parking
43:26
lot real quick. Oh, you got, oh, you got people
43:29
looking for you. No.
43:30
OK. All right.
43:31
Did you see? I went, I went drifting in
43:33
drifting tin in a little parking parking lot.
43:36
The other day I saw it. That shit was cool.
43:38
I sent it to the cops. I had to drive around for two
43:40
hours looking for a place to drift.
43:42
I was like. Fuck, I'm going to get.
43:43
I was wondering where you were. I was like where?
43:44
That one minute from my house. Because you said in one spot.
43:47
And I was like, oh, he's not. There I went somewhere and
43:51
unnamingly I'm going to say what happened there was somewhere I
43:55
was going to that before. I feel like there was no one
43:59
ever there and it's a very cool spot to maybe see the sunset or
44:03
something. Oh, that's cute.
44:04
But then when I went there the other day, I guess TikTok and
44:09
like Instagram, I saw it on an Instagram.
44:10
What? That it was a nice place to
44:12
watch the sunset. There's like a lot of accounts
44:14
like that. So you said?
44:16
I'm sitting there and I'm like. I'm gonna ruin this for.
44:18
Everybody's still fucking here. Like why is there so many
44:21
people? So then I wait and there was
44:22
like 1 car left to go and then like another three showed up.
44:25
Carl. Went there because he knew it'd
44:26
be a lot of people. There were cameras.
44:28
No, I was waiting for everyone to leave so I can drift real
44:32
quick and go home. He's like, yo get this clip with
44:34
the sunset. It was so hard I was like why am
44:36
I even trying to St. drift man I could just hit a East Coast
44:39
drift school. True, but sometimes I just want
44:43
to drift. When I get I'm going to drift
44:44
real quick. Go home.
44:46
Like maybe I go get a coffee drift, have a coffee, smoke
44:49
cigarettes, go to jail. No, Maybe.
44:52
Maybe Total the car. Call Chris.
44:54
Call Daryl. Fuck, dude, I need you.
44:56
I need a ride. Get the trailer.
44:57
Get the wind. Hit a pole.
44:58
Yep. Crash.
44:59
Hit a curb. Something I noticed is like at
45:02
if I'm at an event and I'm driving an event, I'm like hyper
45:05
focused on making sure that I'm being like perfect.
45:10
And. Trying to be like as good
45:12
driving as possible to to the point where like I forget that
45:16
I'm supposed to be having fun. Like I'm still having fun, but
45:19
I'm like so hyper focused on that.
45:20
Whereas if I'm definitely not doing anything in a parking lot,
45:26
I'm just there. Fucking around, right?
45:28
No, I don't really care. That's that's real like, but
45:31
when you were drifting though, would you say, I feel like
45:34
you're just locking in like you, you know, it's time to lock in,
45:37
so you're trying to work on your craft and that's fine.
45:40
I don't give a fucking damn unless there's someone next to
45:42
me or behind me, then I care. What?
45:45
Like, I don't care if I'm at the track or on the street, I don't
45:47
care how I look either way, but if there's someone ahead of me
45:49
or behind me, like in tandem, then.
45:52
What I'm like, OK, even on the solo laps, solo laps give.
45:55
A shit I'm going to try. I'm just going to try to have
45:57
fun but. Yeah, but I I feel like solo
46:00
laps you could learn so then you can bring it into the tandem.
46:05
I just thought, isn't that really what you want?
46:07
Like I just. I never cared about like
46:09
progressing my driving. I just want to go have fun.
46:12
Shut the fuck up right now. I swear to God, you can ask
46:14
everyone. That's how I've always been.
46:16
Hell. No, I don't give a damn about.
46:18
You got to get. Better at drifting.
46:19
I just care about drifting. But there is there is a point
46:22
where you know how like, I don't know you ever you ever watch?
46:25
I'm going to bring it back to skateboarding, even though none
46:27
of us here. Yeah, we really don't.
46:30
But like I'm saying like if I watch somebody skateboarding and
46:33
for some reason they want to learn a new trick since their
46:36
wheelhouse is like fucking I don't know, make twists and
46:41
shit. OK, that's kind of crazy.
46:42
Like then then like doing like a quadruple kick flip isn't as
46:46
bad. They're like, all right, let me
46:47
try it since it's going to take this amount of pressure.
46:49
I'm just kick flip. Now you know.
46:52
Now relate that to now. Relate that to driving like
46:54
it's. It's like you having fun, like
46:56
your wheelhouse is already. You already learned enough, you
47:00
know? You probably have no idea that
47:02
you had to progress to that point.
47:04
You had to though. Yeah, I guess.
47:05
You didn't just like. Yeah, I guess start.
47:09
Doing it and like we all fucking.
47:11
I still got to learn. Like I still like doing solo
47:14
laps. I hate when people don't like
47:15
doing. Solo.
47:16
I like solo laps. I like solo laps because then
47:18
I'm just there having fun. I like having fun is part of
47:22
having fun is like learning the new part of it.
47:26
I mean like getting have you been to a track where you never
47:29
been and trying to get the line down Okay that.
47:32
Is so fun. That's.
47:34
Different to me, I guess, than what I thought we were talking
47:37
about. And you've drifted etown in the
47:40
is before, right? Right.
47:41
Yeah, but now you get to 180. Yeah, and it was like
47:44
immediately, infinitely better. Not because it's a, it's just
47:48
like. That is crazy the.
47:51
Setup is just. I can tell you're just excited.
47:53
You might be saying some things. The IS was not set up at all.
47:56
It had coilovers and dude the stock VLSD which oh.
48:00
Yeah, yeah. So hey, stock form that IS was
48:03
still driftable totally. Oh yeah, like I did it.
48:06
But like, it would be like lazy drift.
48:08
It's like, oh. So you did the backtrack?
48:11
Yeah. And you did the backtrack in the
48:13
IS? Yeah.
48:15
So how's that first to second turn in the IS versus the 180?
48:19
IS it was kind of like terrifying because I would like
48:22
E try to E break into it and the big thing with the IS was I was
48:26
never know exactly what it was going to do OK, it was it just
48:30
felt super unpredictable. I know it's not I just I mean it
48:34
was bad the the. VLSD probably.
48:35
Made. Yeah, it probably is.
48:36
Yeah, but. It's scary.
48:38
That like the grass right there, I went off.
48:43
Like the outside of, like where are you?
48:45
You're you're doing the. Coming down the hill into the
48:48
second, yeah, yeah, yeah, corner.
48:49
I went off in the IAS like. Holy crap, that's a pretty high
48:53
the outside. Like if you're coming down that
48:56
track, the outside glass, Yeah, like you flew.
48:59
Holy shit yeah that is where the drop off is like that.
49:03
Yeah, because I was like, Oh yeah, I need to go really fast.
49:06
I mean, he's not wrong. You really do need to go fast.
49:08
Totally. Totally.
49:09
Yeah. And then I tried to pull the E
49:11
brake and it like kind of locks up, but not quite.
49:14
And then more or less what it was is I would try to get it to
49:17
angle and then it just wouldn't hold OK and it would just keep
49:21
going. It would just snap back.
49:23
Not even that, it would just like keep rotating.
49:25
And it wasn't even like I was over, like I wasn't throwing a
49:28
ton of angle. It just didn't stop.
49:30
OK well that's my problem when I drive his car and any other ISI
49:34
always feel like it's over rotating and I'm like I'm not
49:36
quick enough to like catch it or something.
49:38
Nah, you just need to be off the pack.
49:40
You don't worry. It's not that.
49:42
It's not that crazy. To be fair, this could all just
49:45
be because I'm not good. That's totally possible.
49:48
Oh yeah. Yeah, no, we're not used to the
49:49
cars, but the. Steering of an IS is pretty
49:52
numb, that's why I wanted. But could you, could you at
49:55
least say that's not like a 240? Oh, it's not OK.
49:58
If I got in a 240 and for me to do the things that I do in my
50:02
car like it, it would be completely.
50:05
And the lower the IS goes, the crazier it is because I, I got
50:09
into what's his face, his car. Unfortunately, it has.
50:11
It has whatever it has FDF, Yeah.
50:14
And you're obviously I don't. Remember Chris's name?
50:15
That is insane. No, I said.
50:17
I don't remember the name of the.
50:19
Suspension. Yeah, I thought I was going to
50:21
say wispap, but I know it doesn't.
50:23
Have wispap? Yeah.
50:23
No, it's Fodafa. Fodafa yeah.
50:28
And then I was like, oh, this feels kind of normal, but I can
50:31
still feel. That.
50:33
Sensation that it wants to. I was quite confused when I
50:36
turned around and saw Chris and then his car or Monica's car, I
50:41
don't know whose car it was, but and they were like, that's
50:43
Frankie and I'm like what the fuck?
50:45
He was just spinning out in my car.
50:46
Well, Chris came up to the line. He got out and he was talking to
50:49
me about your car and me drifting it.
50:51
And then he said something along the lines of like, you want to
50:55
drive a real car, like making fun of your car or something.
50:58
But I didn't catch on to what he was doing.
51:01
And then he walks away and then, you know, kid, kid was there
51:03
next to me and I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
51:06
I don't know, I, I could not drive Carl's car.
51:07
I don't know what's going on. And he's like, well, Chris just
51:10
asked you to drive his car. I was like, what?
51:12
And he's like, yeah, he just offered for you to drive his
51:14
car. I was like, did he?
51:16
He's like, yeah. And you and you just ignored
51:18
him. I was like, oh, so I just walked
51:19
over and I was like, can I drive your car?
51:20
And he's like, oh, yeah, here I was like, what the fuck?
51:24
So I drove his and I was like, because I wanted to feel if if
51:27
it was your car or if I was really that bad and it it was
51:30
somewhere in the middle. That's got more caster more like
51:35
the from this from OK. This is from Carl's suspension
51:40
theory. OK, which is not accurate.
51:42
I wish I knew what the fuck was going on with that car but.
51:44
I don't since you're spinning and Chris's car maybe had more
51:48
caster than mine. Because mine got.
51:50
Pretty low and yeah, it's got more angle, but that there's no
51:53
corners on car track that'll make the angle a problem.
51:56
So like, I think since you weren't doing the thing I told
52:00
you, which is like hooking it, you have to huck it to make it.
52:03
Yeah, but. In my head it'd be way worse
52:04
because then it's going to spin even faster.
52:06
No, lose it. Because what you're spinning out
52:09
because the the wheel isn't going like it's not catching
52:12
it's and then Chris's car has more caster so the natural
52:16
return to. Oh my God, I see what you're
52:17
saying. Pretty more is a lot more and my
52:20
car used to be a lot more as well when I was on the other
52:22
knuckle set up, but now I'm on like a very OEM knuckle.
52:26
Like the wheels turning but the but it's not.
52:28
It's not turning fast enough. It's so weird because it feels
52:31
like the opposite. No, you have to fucking if you
52:34
bro. You've seen videos of me in
52:36
there. It does not look pretty.
52:37
I'm fucking. Yeah, but you drive the car
52:39
fine, yeah. It doesn't even look you have to
52:41
do that to make or I in my opinion, that's what I learned I
52:43
have to do and his. Car was your IS was low too.
52:47
Yeah. Probably the same height as you
52:48
were. It was nice.
52:49
Yeah. Your car looked great.
52:50
Yeah, so I mean, I never drove your car, but I'm sure it felt
52:53
the same way his his does. Lazy drift.
52:55
It's. Just way different than the S
52:57
chassis. Yeah.
52:58
So you got an S chassis and how was that second turn or first to
53:01
second turn then? It felt like I could actually
53:05
put the car where I wanted it. Not to mention the power is way
53:09
more. Yeah, but even that I was
53:11
telling you before, it's like I had 0 grip for reasons.
53:16
So like. The reason?
53:18
Is because the car is too low now.
53:21
I think it's a six. 100 tread wear tires.
53:23
That too. Those are.
53:24
Fine. And you got like 3° of camera in
53:26
the back, yeah. 5 1/2 what? Yeah.
53:28
See my? Got it.
53:30
The 600 tread wear problem is not your problem. 5.
53:35
Degrees is it's a lot. Ito used to run 4 1/2 but. 4 1/2
53:40
is way too much. He used to do.
53:41
He was like same tire setup as me.
53:44
So 22540 yeah, 4 1/2 degrees of rear camber and he also had a
53:50
TDO 6. I love how he just spits the
53:53
facts out of a. Car and shit out.
53:54
No, but but if this is so, if along with some other friends of
53:58
mine, if that's a style that you like, you know about this shit.
54:01
Like, it's not shocking me that you knew all of that about that
54:04
car. He'll tell you.
54:04
He'll tell you his blood types. I don't know.
54:07
I don't know. I wish I knew more about stuff
54:08
like that because then maybe it would give me some sort of
54:10
direction instead of me literally just sitting there
54:12
like. Yeah, I mean, I can relate to
54:16
Cole. I I get it.
54:17
I've looked at the 180 SX thread on Zilvia a long.
54:20
Time I think it's a double edged sword because then you get into
54:23
the like where I'm at is OK, I have a blue 180 with bronzies.
54:29
Oh, and hot Rd. so oh Itai replica.
54:34
Yeah. Like no, but yeah, but.
54:38
Yeah. And then I'm trying to think of
54:40
ways to make it different, but I don't want to because that's the
54:43
look that I want. Yeah, you just don't copy the
54:46
entire livery and then you're good.
54:47
Yeah, but. That's it.
54:49
That's yeah. But like, OK, if, if, if that's
54:51
what you want to do, don't let especially anybody in this room
54:56
or and you want like to tell you no, like I feel like if that's
55:00
what you want to go do, go do that.
55:01
Oh yeah, I'm at a point now where like, I don't, I don't
55:05
care enough to be like. What is that?
55:10
It's the water machine. It makes some noise sometimes
55:12
you got to slap. I was wondering like, what the
55:14
fuck? Yeah, but no, if that's what you
55:15
want to do, dude, totally do that.
55:18
I I don't know why I I also get in that I know what you're
55:21
feeling. Carl will do anything opposite
55:24
of what we tell them to do. Well, no, it's kind of a little
55:26
different, but. They will tell me something and
55:29
I will need to go analyze it on my own.
55:31
That's what that is. And then I get that though, come
55:34
back with my tail between my legs.
55:36
And go, that's better and then. Go yeah, I had to get the the BN
55:42
looking body kit. Dude, don't even bring that up.
55:44
That's crazy. Carl, literally dude, we, I've
55:49
been trying to get Carl to buy the BN Sports body kit for his
55:52
car for three years. I was like, I'm pretty sure that
55:55
kit looks the best. He's like, no, dude, that's the
55:57
worst one. That is the ugliest body kit
56:00
ever. And I bring it up all the time.
56:03
And you know, I don't really tell Carl what to do, but
56:05
sometimes I'll be like, yo, I mean, the BN Sports looks good.
56:07
He's like, no dude, no, that's the worst body.
56:10
So the other day was Black Friday and Carl walks in and
56:12
goes, yo, I bought a body kit. It's the being a sports Rep.
56:17
I'm like, are you fucking kidding me right now?
56:20
And Malcolm was like. They cancelled the order anyway
56:23
that's. What happened?
56:23
We were wondering what happened because.
56:25
Because I messaged Frankie and was like, yo, how much is an
56:27
actual one? Yeah, he told me a price.
56:29
And I cannot right now. But trying to get those those
56:32
deals. Right now trying but.
56:35
We still, we still got Origin, yeah.
56:37
There is and then I then I wanted to do the origin.
56:40
What is that one attack drift line drift that one Yeah, origin
56:44
drift line for a J ZX100. We were on that faction live
56:47
Instagram and I know a bunch of people were watching me just
56:50
staring at this thing trying to cook this idea.
56:52
I had my thinking face on the whole day.
56:54
I was just like. He wants to buy a JZX drift line
56:59
kit and then cut it up immediately.
57:01
And put it on the IS, yeah. I don't know.
57:05
I mean, it's a good idea, but it might be better to not.
57:08
Do you remember the podcast with roll offs?
57:10
Yes Josh, Shout out Josh. I miss Josh.
57:13
Yeah, we should get Josh back on here.
57:14
But he was just in Japan. That's why we should definitely
57:17
get him back. Yeah, I can hear him now.
57:19
Yeah, like that's, I don't know, like that, that's Josh just
57:25
always just like actually. I'm gonna hit him up right now,
57:27
yeah. We should, but anyway, yeah,
57:29
that that podcast. Do you think he would have had
57:31
that E46 BMW bumper if he didn't go?
57:33
Oh yeah, maybe if I just no. No, I mean, he's like you.
57:38
He he likes to make shit. I'm just scared that it would
57:41
look like shit and that like I made something that's like not
57:45
worth my time. Yeah, I don't think it is
57:47
either. You should buy the BM1.
57:49
All right, moving on. That's crazy.
57:54
All right, so you drifted at club loose.
57:56
You were I I I'm just going to give everyone the rundown
57:59
because I know everything. You were a little nervous
58:01
because you're like, Oh, my car's slammed and everything and
58:04
I don't know. Thought I was going to get
58:05
bullied. Yep.
58:06
You thought you were going to get bullied and I wanted to, I
58:09
wanted you to tell the listeners your experience, your genuine
58:13
experience from however you want to start it.
58:17
I mean, I don't know if you got that, you got there, you tech
58:20
the car and everything and and it passed, everything was good.
58:23
Everything was good. Oh thank God, thanks to.
58:24
Faction order. Spokes, dude, it only came by
58:27
here and you can only enforce the rule book that you printed
58:29
out that's on your desk. Yeah, I know, but I'm just
58:32
saying it's scary when a car leaves here.
58:34
Honestly, that's the only thing I was scared about.
58:36
Wow. I shouldn't say the only thing,
58:37
but that was one of the main things because it's like.
58:41
Yeah, it's nerve wracking. But because then you're fucked
58:45
it's like oh sick I just spent $60.00 and get to drive.
58:50
Yeah. And so you went.
58:52
And then one thing that I want to mention that you probably
58:54
wouldn't is they put AB on your car and then you told them, no,
58:58
I'm C group. And then they said, oh, thanks
59:01
for telling us. Because some of you
59:03
motherfuckers that go there would leave the B on the car.
59:06
You'd go into B group and you'd go on the front track and you'd
59:09
spin and then someone would hit you and then we'd all have to
59:12
wait. So I'm just saying, don't you
59:16
know they if you see them put AB on your car or something and you
59:18
and you don't and you don't think you're AB group driver,
59:22
don't leave the B on the car. Just some days I wake up, I
59:24
don't feel like AB group driver I and then I'm there.
59:27
An A group driver. Oh my.
59:29
God, I want to be an A group driver.
59:33
Yeah, I mean it's. I need a fucking cage.
59:36
I don't know if my car is worth caging.
59:38
Yes, it is. Flash it is in half.
59:41
OK, anyway, so. There's a hole in there.
59:46
So you go, you drift it. How?
59:50
How was it? How was your experience?
59:52
Was it good? It was good.
59:53
Was it cold like the general like club loose experience It
59:55
was? I wouldn't even say cold.
59:57
It was a little chilly in the morning, but towards the end of
1:00:00
the day it was like fine. I think it got to like 50 OK, so
1:00:04
it was pretty nice. You mean like general club,
1:00:08
loose experience or driving? Yeah, sure, both.
1:00:11
Both is what I'm really asking. So I guess the thing for me is
1:00:16
it wasn't my first club loose event, yeah.
1:00:18
So I sort of get the vibe, but. What do you mean by that?
1:00:23
There's a specific vibe and I think everybody.
1:00:25
Else is there's a. Vibe to club loose.
1:00:27
Of like OK but if. People that are like scared to
1:00:29
go or whatever, but just like, I don't know, I think, I think for
1:00:34
a lot of people it's maybe like a ego thing, not on Club Loose's
1:00:37
part, but on the people. I agree with that.
1:00:40
I agree with that. So just like, don't think you're
1:00:42
hot shit first of all, which I know I'm not.
1:00:47
I know my wheels are pretty hot shit.
1:00:49
That's not it. That is a that is a clean,
1:00:54
clear, astute observation that no one is going to get mad
1:00:59
about. Yeah, I mean, my wheels are.
1:01:01
My pain isn't, but that's a different.
1:01:02
Story but. Yeah, just like ask for help if
1:01:10
you're not getting it, you know which I I get it because I'm a
1:01:14
very like introverted. I don't usually approach people
1:01:20
I so I, I totally get it. But you know, everybody's there
1:01:24
to help. So they're, they're, they're
1:01:29
there to help. They might like say it in sort
1:01:31
of an abrasive way. They might look like they're in
1:01:33
a motorcycle gang, but. Yeah, but like the the, so the
1:01:36
way that I did it, I think the first time I went is I was like
1:01:40
messing up and I didn't get what was going on.
1:01:42
So when I pulled up to the grid and I was asking for help, I was
1:01:46
like, hey, I fucking suck ass. How do I not do that?
1:01:51
And then they laugh and they go, Oh yeah, and then they help you.
1:01:54
So just like, I don't know. And the first thing they do is
1:01:57
go, well, you got a lot of camber in the back.
1:01:59
No, that was with the IS this time.
1:02:01
I was like, oh, OK, the IS is. Yeah, that was set up pretty.
1:02:05
Normal. What do you mean?
1:02:07
I pulled up the tech and Petty was like or no?
1:02:11
Yeah, Petty and I did a no Petty at that time.
1:02:15
Yeah, Petty was like get some real front tires, Frankie
1:02:19
fucking doesn't make you go get real front tires.
1:02:21
And I was like, that's. Crazy.
1:02:22
See, I didn't get anything like that.
1:02:26
Yeah, well, he knew. He knew who he was talking to,
1:02:28
so that's why he roasted him, I guess.
1:02:31
Well, and I probably told you to get real tires.
1:02:33
And he was right. They were fucking.
1:02:35
They were like they were some fucking booty ass tired.
1:02:38
Gee, that's the shout out, Betty.
1:02:40
Like I've usually if the shit. He's a nice guy.
1:02:42
Like. Here's here's not a fuck, he
1:02:44
wasn't. He's not a fucking asshole.
1:02:45
That's not what I'm making it seem to be.
1:02:46
I just here's. Here's where I draw a line.
1:02:48
Somebody might like not. I appreciate it.
1:02:50
I thought it was funny. So, so we have a lot of people
1:02:53
come in here and they say things like, oh, club Blues is scary,
1:02:57
this and that. And then we, that's why I want
1:02:59
you to say your experience because it was generally a good
1:03:02
experience. Yeah.
1:03:03
And I. And they're not.
1:03:04
Bad dudes, but. Like they're not fucking.
1:03:06
But like I had a customer here the other day and he was like
1:03:10
he's like they just kept telling me to get A46 diff and I was
1:03:13
like what? Well, what kind of diff is in it
1:03:15
and what were you doing S? 13 was a stock diff, but you
1:03:18
know how a lot of the club loose guys are?
1:03:19
They're just like, oh, you need a four six and I was like, all
1:03:22
right, that's where I draw the line.
1:03:24
Like you don't need to change the rear end of the car to drift
1:03:27
that track. You don't.
1:03:29
You fucking don't so. No, like, Oh my God, I got into
1:03:32
a fucking thing about this last night.
1:03:35
Because it's worse online, like when somebody's playing Aceto,
1:03:39
because then you can change it. Oh yeah.
1:03:40
But then the first thing, the first thing somebody says if
1:03:43
they're doing bad is like, oh fuck, I need to change the rear
1:03:45
end. No, you don't.
1:03:46
You suck. Just just just just just spin
1:03:49
out less. OK, I agree with that mentality.
1:03:50
Like yeah, you should just drive the car and and get used to it
1:03:53
and get used to it. So.
1:03:54
So if it's. But in this?
1:03:55
It's a little different gearing issue.
1:03:57
Because you could just change. It, it is.
1:03:59
But then you can't do that in real life.
1:04:01
You can't do that. I don't.
1:04:02
I don't do that in a game. That's a good mentality.
1:04:04
Like purposefully. And you see, that's why I
1:04:06
purposely have my car set up terribly for drifting is that if
1:04:11
I get good at drifting it, then as soon as I raise it, which I
1:04:13
won't, I'll be really fucking. Good.
1:04:16
Well, no, that's. A good mentality.
1:04:18
At that height, drifting in S13 is so fucking easy because
1:04:22
there's no grip in the back. You're not going to win this
1:04:24
easy contest. Like you'll be able to drift no
1:04:27
problem. It's definitely easy, but the IT
1:04:33
doesn't inspire confidence. No, I guess is that where we put
1:04:36
it? I mean, it does, but it's not
1:04:38
like when you were telling me earlier you were saying you
1:04:40
didn't have any grip. In what situations were you
1:04:42
talking about? So I never had any.
1:04:45
I mean, I spun out on the last corner a couple times earlier.
1:04:49
Because I always did that too. Because I don't know why it's
1:04:51
gets wet. It's I feel.
1:04:52
Like there's something weird about the pavement over there
1:04:54
too. Yeah, but once it dried up, I
1:04:58
didn't have any issues with spinning or anything.
1:05:00
So I always had grip in that sense.
1:05:02
It was just like, and This is why I think tires was a big part
1:05:06
of it. I as soon as I would hit the gas
1:05:08
at all, it would immediately just yeah, red line, yeah.
1:05:11
See that? See that.
1:05:14
But why does that matter in your situation?
1:05:16
You're doing single laps because.
1:05:18
I have an SR20. No, but then.
1:05:20
I'm saying what does that affect?
1:05:22
Yeah, I'm getting where you're going.
1:05:23
Yeah, if you're in tandem it'd be a problem, but since you're
1:05:26
just doing solo laps. Just drift it like that.
1:05:29
Can you just drift it like that and like?
1:05:31
Yeah, I mean, I did exactly, but I go.
1:05:32
Not like on limiter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:05:34
Because again, I'm trying not to.
1:05:35
Blow up my the only but the only thing that that would affect is
1:05:37
that first to second turn transition where you have no
1:05:40
grip and you need to but then be on throttle.
1:05:42
But OK, so then I'm I'm going to sit there with no grip and if
1:05:46
I'm running out of gear to get to the next one, I'm going to go
1:05:48
into third because you're just straight.
1:05:51
Well, there's a gear after 2:00 and it's 3.
1:05:53
So I'm gonna go into 3, but I'm gonna ring it out some more and
1:05:57
clutch kick it a couple times and.
1:05:58
Maybe because there's maybe another?
1:06:00
Yeah, just let it ring out and let it ring out and then flick
1:06:03
it over and put it back in a second.
1:06:04
Yeah. Like that's definitely more
1:06:06
technical than what they're used to and.
1:06:08
No, but I know but it seems like people are forgetting the fact
1:06:12
that you can fucking put it into another gear to make it work in
1:06:15
that situation, especially online.
1:06:17
With no grip, yeah, if you have any amount of grip in that
1:06:20
situation. I've tried to shift in the third
1:06:22
there just. It just straightened out the the
1:06:25
the point here is not that. And again, not a fucking expert,
1:06:28
but I'm an expert at talking shit and.
1:06:32
That's a fact. Like to me, stop fucking
1:06:34
complaining about your rear end like I like or or like that your
1:06:38
alignments like could slow this bit off like you know you.
1:06:40
Well, no, no, you got to make sure you get the faction
1:06:41
alignment though. Once a season and and then if
1:06:46
you hit a bed, you can tell. You can tell when you need
1:06:49
another one. At least three times a season.
1:06:53
I mean, yeah, but anyway, like that, that has just been under
1:06:57
my skin lately because I'm like, I just want to drive.
1:06:59
So you too. Why the fuck does everybody
1:07:01
complain about the fact that the alignment is off?
1:07:02
Just fucking spin the wheel a little faster or get off the gas
1:07:05
You. Delete this whole section of the
1:07:06
podcast. Why?
1:07:07
Because people need alignments. But.
1:07:09
Like or or or just just drive it a little bit like adapt.
1:07:12
No I agree with you but the rear end thing has been annoying me
1:07:16
for like 5 years. Well no seven years.
1:07:18
Why? Because Josh tells you to bring
1:07:20
a fucking. Spare.
1:07:20
No, Josh. Never bothers me with the DIF
1:07:24
thing but. If I was just drift diff.
1:07:27
He he probably wouldn't a lot I know but quick edit no I'm just
1:07:30
saying he doesn't annoy me about that he just annoys me about my
1:07:33
car not running but like other people would always be like oh
1:07:35
you I need this DIF and this and that but.
1:07:38
You don't. You don't though.
1:07:39
I'm the I'm the worst person to talk to about this because I'm
1:07:42
literally just going to shit on you be and be rude about it.
1:07:46
I know when I don't really intend to, when all I really
1:07:48
want that person to do is just to go drift it anyway.
1:07:51
Yeah, I guess. I mean, if you if you're like a
1:07:56
seasoned driver and you're changing your diff out, OK, I
1:07:59
guess you know like you put the time in already.
1:08:03
I guess. And to each his own too.
1:08:05
Yeah, exactly. To each his own too.
1:08:06
Like you could suck at drifting. Put a four six in your car and
1:08:08
you do great. Sick.
1:08:11
Yeah. Good.
1:08:11
For you. I just don't.
1:08:14
I just when he when when that guy said that the other day, I
1:08:16
was like, I was like one of your first events or whatever and
1:08:19
they're like telling you you're a four six and what like, dude,
1:08:21
it's just it's an S13. People have been drifting S
1:08:23
thirteens at this track for 20 years.
1:08:24
And and what if, what if it was one person that said you need a
1:08:28
four, six and now that that just stuck with that person all day?
1:08:31
It did. It stuck with him, Yeah.
1:08:34
And I'm like, I mean, you could do that if you want, but like,
1:08:37
you don't need to. And on the way home, it's not
1:08:39
gonna be fun. I shouldn't be bothered by that
1:08:42
because people learn. The whole thing is our whole
1:08:45
sport is evolution, okay, right? It evolves every day.
1:08:50
Somebody could come up of a better way to drift tomorrow and
1:08:54
then we would all maybe go try it out together.
1:08:58
So like I I feel bad. It's not from the 2000s.
1:09:00
I don't care. That's true, I feel bad getting
1:09:03
annoyed by it because I know like it shouldn't matter because
1:09:06
that person could learn that way.
1:09:07
I. Just hasn't evolved.
1:09:09
Just cuz I learned that we learned this way doesn't mean
1:09:11
that they do. Yeah, but then they'll tell you.
1:09:13
Well, that's why you need 4/6 anyway.
1:09:17
I don't fucking know. What tangent?
1:09:19
What diff did we don't have? And all the other guys, no.
1:09:24
Most of them had. 4/22. Most of them had Nismo two ways.
1:09:28
Do you know the race union? Yeah.
1:09:30
I wanna say. Watch watch this whole thing
1:09:33
just get broken down right now. I knew at some point because I
1:09:36
was looking. In do you think it's stock or do
1:09:38
you think it's like some crazy shit?
1:09:40
I think a majority of like the lower level guys probably just
1:09:43
had stock, but I think some people had 4.4 sixes, some
1:09:48
maybe. We need to research this.
1:09:50
Two, I don't, I don't know what do you have in the 180 right
1:09:52
now, 4/3? No clue.
1:09:54
He's got stock. For four O 8.
1:09:57
Isn't it like? Four O 8 or wait our wait,
1:10:00
that's a 180. So maybe it might be a full.
1:10:02
Stock rear end for an S thirteen 240SX.
1:10:06
I don't know if the one 80s are different I.
1:10:08
Think. It might be a four one or a 4/3.
1:10:13
Yeah, as long as it's got thought it was.
1:10:15
Four O 9 or something. Yeah, four O 8.
1:10:18
Yeah, something like that. 4.08 I think I'm not.
1:10:24
Just look up a. 430 CA 18. Look up 240SX Oh four O 8 right
1:10:29
there. All 180SX use the same four O 8
1:10:32
ratio as a 240. I told you, I told you.
1:10:35
I know my stuff. I know my stuff.
1:10:37
Well, I guess an automatic would be different.
1:10:39
Look up an automatic malc. Thanks.
1:10:42
Malcolm's killing it. He's wearing cat underwear again
1:10:46
today. What Malcolm?
1:10:50
CA 1843. No, but they all got four O 8 I
1:10:54
think. I think so.
1:10:57
Oh, what is that? 3/6/03.
1:11:02
Do the Driftworks 1 Driftworks has it all.
1:11:04
Oh, yeah, right there. Oh, here we go.
1:11:07
There you go. Oh, Jesus.
1:11:09
Yeah, this is everything. Final drive 4/3 for the
1:11:13
CA-18SR20. Final drive four O 8.
1:11:16
Auto IS39. OK, so you definitely want the
1:11:22
manual 1. But do you think you're going
1:11:25
to? Yeah.
1:11:25
I feel like you would notice 39 to four.
1:11:27
O yeah. All the other ones sucked.
1:11:29
You didn't. Really notice that?
1:11:30
The the 240 is the. I mean the Sr. manual is the
1:11:33
best one. OK, so in my mind, looking at
1:11:36
those numbers, if I had a three nine and I was trying to and I
1:11:38
was trying to make it better and people are telling me to get a
1:11:40
four three, you know what I'm going to do?
1:11:41
I'm going to put my rear pressure at 40PSI and we're
1:11:45
going to see what that does. But you won't have any grip.
1:11:48
What do I what do I know? I'm just learning how to drift.
1:11:51
Yeah, yeah. But that was another thing, he
1:11:53
said. He said he had it at 35.
1:11:54
And I was like, I'd lower that to 20.
1:11:57
If I had five degrees of Cambria, I'd be like, I'd be
1:12:00
like on the verge of de beating a tire, yeah, just to get as
1:12:03
much as I can. So that yeah, the tire goes
1:12:05
like, like you're using more of it.
1:12:07
It's just to make it have more grip.
1:12:09
I know. I don't know how stretched it is
1:12:11
or anything but. It's not.
1:12:13
It's 225 on a 9 1/2. It's not crazy.
1:12:16
I'd probably start at 25 and just start there.
1:12:18
I mean, it'll help a lot, but I'd love to solve anything.
1:12:22
I'd love to tandem with that car just 'cause I know it would just
1:12:25
be lighten them up and I know I could just sit.
1:12:27
Yeah, you could sit there, yeah. As a joke I was going to put
1:12:29
like advan 80O8RS on it like semi slicks just as a joke but.
1:12:36
That would be crazy. 'Cause I had those courtesy of
1:12:39
courtesy of Ken Fuji, I was able to experience what an 80O8R
1:12:43
feels like on the front. And it was fucking.
1:12:46
Sick. Some some good tires.
1:12:48
On that they did not like they don't like the dragging, you
1:12:54
know like there's a dragging tire like while you're drifting
1:12:57
the the rear one. It did not like that.
1:13:00
So it just like belted off. Really destroyed like off
1:13:04
throttle you're talking about? Stuff like when you throw at an
1:13:06
angle and that other car, that front wheel is dragging that
1:13:10
one. Got like.
1:13:11
Just just belts of it were coming off.
1:13:13
The Ackerman angle is not 0 or whatever the fuck.
1:13:17
And then it's yeah. Yeah, I feel so bad now because
1:13:22
I just talk mad shit about. I rank the coilovers down.
1:13:25
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to know anything about that either.
1:13:28
So I I get, I get how you feel, but people come here with like
1:13:32
stocking crazy cars, so. It's fun getting into a debate
1:13:36
about that shit though, even though like, I do feel kind of
1:13:39
bad that I talk shit about everybody who switches their
1:13:41
stuff to a four six and won't and just overbuilds everything.
1:13:44
I mean, you didn't really talk that much shit.
1:13:46
You just said like I, you were like, I would not do that it.
1:13:48
Just annoys me. Like I'm like, why do they think
1:13:50
that way? Because someone told them that
1:13:52
and then, well, not to mention I'm sure if you got in a car
1:13:55
with a four six or something, that shit would RIP.
1:13:57
Dude, that thing would be Poppy. Poppy.
1:13:59
So like, there's that too, but. I don't know, but then as a
1:14:04
beginner you have to shift a lot now like.
1:14:07
Yeah, which is also good. Is it?
1:14:09
To learn bro popping that bitch in a second.
1:14:12
No, but here's the OK, but here, Carl, here's the other thing.
1:14:14
Some people do that because they don't want to shift.
1:14:17
Oh, so that they go in 1/4? If they go in a third or fourth
1:14:19
and that's it. Dude 3rd 4th shifting is
1:14:21
probably sick. You just.
1:14:24
Literally, they'll be like, oh, you need this and a four six,
1:14:28
and then you just stay in 3rd and I'm like, no, but I want to
1:14:30
shift on the first turn, like, but that's dangerous.
1:14:33
It's like, yeah, that's the fun part.
1:14:35
Bro a dog legged trans. Imagine like a dog like it
1:14:37
first, just first in the second and then you're you're 2-3 in
1:14:42
it. It's like this.
1:14:43
Yo, how's Tom's new transmission?
1:14:46
Why are you asking me? I don't know.
1:14:47
I didn't talk to him yet. I want to see what that's about.
1:14:49
I was like, what? What he's got.
1:14:52
He's got a dog box in that thing now.
1:14:55
Tom's cool as hell for that and did it in a weekend.
1:14:57
He dropped it off here. He's.
1:14:58
Like you're still over here removing sound dead.
1:15:01
Nick and Tom put a dog box in his car.
1:15:03
Nod bro, it's been out. Oh my God, I fucked with Tom
1:15:07
lately. We're we're on a good vibe right
1:15:08
now. Oh, you guys don't hate each
1:15:10
other? Anymore.
1:15:10
No, I don't think so. That's good to know.
1:15:12
We grew up a lot in 2024. You got any questions for coal?
1:15:17
Me. Yeah, because I feel like I know
1:15:21
everything about coal, but I don't know if you.
1:15:22
The real questions are going to come during dinner, so why don't
1:15:24
we? Did you Did you pull up?
1:15:26
Are you going? To talk about Japan.
1:15:28
Oh yeah, that that's what I want to, yeah.
1:15:30
Let's talk about that, that, that, that.
1:15:31
I was going to say we have questions in the yeah, yeah,
1:15:34
it's a grand prom too, but surely some of them are Japan
1:15:36
related. They probably are, but we need
1:15:38
to talk about this trip. So you went there twice?
1:15:40
Yeah. OK.
1:15:41
So the first time was when? Roughly.
1:15:46
April or not April, August 2023. OK, yeah.
1:15:53
And what was the goal of this trip when you went?
1:15:57
I had been idolizing Japan since I was like 12 and I just never
1:16:04
been. But what?
1:16:04
What started it then? Yeah, we need to know about this
1:16:07
whole. Thing I wanted an R34 GTR really
1:16:11
bad. Same still.
1:16:12
So I was like, oh, just move there, dude.
1:16:16
This was back when they they were still expensive at the
1:16:18
time, but. Not they still.
1:16:19
Are I found over 27 grand when I was a kid dude and I had that
1:16:22
same feeling. I was like I want a.
1:16:24
GTRI saw a Facebook memory the other day that was from like 20
1:16:31
like 17 like right when S thirteens were legal to import.
1:16:36
And there was I remember it. I forget what dealership had it,
1:16:39
but it was like mint condition, purple and grey 2 tone Sylvia
1:16:44
kays like low mileage and all that shit for like 8 grand and
1:16:48
me being in high school, I was like, wow, that's a lot of
1:16:50
money. Yeah.
1:16:51
So I was like, man, I want a Sylvia, but they're so
1:16:54
expensive. And then I think that same place
1:16:56
had like a, it wasn't the actual Auriememia FC, but it was like a
1:17:03
replica of it, OK. It was the white with the silver
1:17:06
Tees and like the red braids and all that stuff.
1:17:10
Yeah, full thing for like 15 grand.
1:17:12
There's like, whoa, that's like a lot.
1:17:15
But now it's. Yeah, that actually sounds
1:17:17
pretty good, yeah. It's like a $40,000 car now
1:17:20
probably. So it just started like that,
1:17:22
like you just wanted a GTR and then you.
1:17:24
Take you definitely saw Fast and Furious or something.
1:17:26
What did you? I don't like Fast and Furious at
1:17:28
all. What did you see Fast and.
1:17:29
Furious. So it's hard to say.
1:17:30
I think my whole like thing with Japan is like a deep, deep
1:17:36
seated thing that I still haven't 100% figured out yet.
1:17:39
Because when you have. Katsu Curry as a kid and then
1:17:41
you just like. Fucking did not, and you'll find
1:17:44
out. I know, I know because like I
1:17:48
wasn't into like Dragon Ball or like Naruto or damn Pokémon or
1:17:52
anything back then, but I was really into like Power Rangers.
1:17:55
Which is. Also technically Japanese.
1:17:58
Yeah, but you wouldn't know that.
1:17:59
I wouldn't know it, but it's like ingrained in my brain, you
1:18:01
know? Now.
1:18:02
It's like subliminal. So anyway.
1:18:04
Because I was into Power Rangers and I didn't give a damn about
1:18:07
Japan. Japan, Japanese culture and.
1:18:09
Yeah, but then you stumble upon like Japanese Power Rangers and
1:18:12
you're like, damn, like this fucking Megazord looks way
1:18:14
better. So you do now I'm not.
1:18:17
Saying like that. So you're saying it was
1:18:18
subliminal? Subliminal and like not.
1:18:20
That like I wasn't like 4 years old watching Power Rangers and
1:18:23
going I need to learn Japanese and move to Japan.
1:18:26
I need a Sylvia. Damn, I'm over here.
1:18:28
OK, while you're while you're telling us, I'm going to over
1:18:30
here and just try to dig through my brain and see what the fuck
1:18:33
subliminal thing got me wanted, Yeah.
1:18:35
So yeah, but you have to remember, like when you typed in
1:18:38
like Nissan's skyline art, like why did you?
1:18:45
We'll go a little further. So elementary school, the
1:18:49
Transformers movie was coming out.
1:18:51
The first Michael Bay one. Oh my God, I saw that when?
1:18:54
I was Peter. That was what got me into Cars
1:18:57
was that movie. So like originally I was like
1:18:59
muscle car. Like I wanted a Camaro more than
1:19:02
anything. Yikes.
1:19:03
Which is like big take over energy, yeah.
1:19:08
And then I always had like car games when I was younger.
1:19:12
Like for me I didn't have a lot of need for speeds but like
1:19:15
Midnight Club 3. Oh, I got that game at the house
1:19:18
right now. Double edition.
1:19:19
Yeah. Yeah.
1:19:21
They had AIS. They do.
1:19:23
They had. IS I was need for speed?
1:19:26
I know. I So I can tell you, I think the
1:19:30
Supra was like my first, oh, this is a Japanese car.
1:19:35
And you didn't watch The Fast and the Furious.
1:19:37
No, I didn't watch Fast and Furious until like I was already
1:19:39
into all. This stuff, Oh my God.
1:19:42
It was Need for Speed Shift, the first one, and there was a free
1:19:45
DLC and it was like classic cars.
1:19:48
So it was like Stingray, Challenger, stuff like that.
1:19:53
And then a random Toyota that was a Supra.
1:19:57
It's like, what the fuck is this?
1:19:58
And that's my dad. My dad was like, Oh yeah, those
1:20:00
are cool. I was like, OK.
1:20:02
And then now it's my favorite car.
1:20:05
But I think honestly. Well, that had something to do
1:20:10
with it. Yeah, for sure.
1:20:11
In terms of like S chassis, I think it was probably from like
1:20:17
going to like car shows and stuff and seeing like Stan's
1:20:19
stuff. And then because I've always,
1:20:22
I've always been into like the blow thing.
1:20:26
Is your dad in the cars? Yeah, not like as much, but he
1:20:29
had had cool stuff I guess. But he would go to car shows and
1:20:33
like, yeah, OK, I feel like you just like the way those Japanese
1:20:38
cars looked, it seems. Like yeah, so like I can my one
1:20:41
of my first computer Wallpapers was the tandem of die cars.
1:20:45
Me too. Which is like.
1:20:47
That's weird. That's style.
1:20:49
Was it the one picture? Where it's the.
1:20:51
Two, like, yeah, that's weird. Yeah, like going down the road.
1:20:56
Not that one. Oh, I.
1:20:56
Know the one you're talking about?
1:20:57
3/4 of you. Yeah.
1:20:59
Yeah, that's weird. Yeah.
1:21:01
I like, I love those cars. And that was like, oh shit, this
1:21:05
stuff is pretty sick. Yeah.
1:21:06
Because it's like. But how did you find that?
1:21:09
I don't know. I think it was from like looking
1:21:10
at like stance car. Shit.
1:21:11
OK, Stance car stuff that would make sense because they, those
1:21:14
cars were in a lot of Stance magazines and Stance Nation and
1:21:18
all that stuff. So yeah.
1:21:19
And then, but they were drifting.
1:21:21
Right, and that's what made it cooler.
1:21:22
Yeah, it's like, Oh yeah, those two cars really well.
1:21:26
I was going to say those like drifting is like just kind of
1:21:30
accompanied by that style factor, especially then.
1:21:33
Yeah. And like.
1:21:35
Now. So not really in my eyes, but
1:21:37
well. No, I feel like people build
1:21:39
like. There still are cars.
1:21:41
Build like a drift looking car but then and it's in the car
1:21:46
show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that does
1:21:48
happen, but. Like, that's not wrong.
1:21:52
People been doing that. Like subjectively been doing
1:21:55
that, you know? But like it's.
1:21:57
I'm trying to be a well-rounded person when I think about shit
1:21:59
like and like that. I know, but I'm just saying like
1:22:03
nowadays I feel like you go to a drift event and you see a lot of
1:22:07
cars that are not stance cars anymore.
1:22:10
They're like, they're like track car.
1:22:12
Like the way they're sitting is very like.
1:22:16
They're set up for. Peace.
1:22:17
They're performance. Exactly.
1:22:18
Yes, thank you. That's exactly what I was trying
1:22:20
to say. So but then back then it was
1:22:23
even more like most of them were if the car was cool, it was
1:22:26
stanced, like it really looked low and it was like flush and
1:22:31
everything. But now I feel like you have a
1:22:33
whole another like realm of cars that are really just like
1:22:36
performance setups, you know, So I guess.
1:22:39
It's fine but like. Yeah, it's fine.
1:22:40
I don't really not really into it, but yeah, exactly.
1:22:43
So but like it makes sense that you got there from stance cars.
1:22:49
Yeah, and I think, I think drifting was always a thing in
1:22:52
the back of my head cuz like all the car games had drifting.
1:22:54
So like, I knew what it was like.
1:22:56
Fucking Mario Kart is drifting. Yeah, isn't that interesting,
1:22:59
really. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:23:00
What the fuck? I don't know.
1:23:02
RB in the back on the N64 was the drift.
1:23:04
It was like, yeah. And then it would like.
1:23:07
I was just playing Ridge Racer 4 the other day, which is from
1:23:11
like 1998 and there's like a whole.
1:23:14
Why did you say like, yeah, why did you say it?
1:23:15
Why? Did you say 1998 like like that
1:23:17
was like the 80s? Why did you say that like?
1:23:19
I might, I might remember playing their game.
1:23:22
Just because like that's like pre drifting being super
1:23:26
popular. No, I get it.
1:23:27
I get it. But even in that game, you pick
1:23:31
whatever car and it'll say like drift.
1:23:35
It was like the drift ability, whether it was more grip or more
1:23:38
drift. But The thing is, it's like it
1:23:39
was always associated with making it go faster.
1:23:42
Yeah, let me let me update anybody who doesn't know
1:23:45
anything about drifting. It does not make you go through
1:23:47
the corner any faster. Actually, sometimes I feel like
1:23:49
it does. There's that one.
1:23:50
I don't know what video I'm thinking of that's in my brain
1:23:52
right now, but there's a video of someone doing some crazy shit
1:23:55
and. They're moving fast and they're
1:23:57
moving faster than Yeah, I think, I I'm trying to think.
1:23:59
Of what that was. Actually, that statement.
1:24:01
Old Keichi Tsuchiya video. Or that, yeah.
1:24:04
He'll like E brake around corners to go faster.
1:24:07
Yeah. Well it's actually like toge
1:24:08
shit though. It's not like circuit stuff.
1:24:10
It has to be like a real tight radius, like with rally cars and
1:24:13
stuff like a 90° turn, not a 9180° turn or something.
1:24:17
Like yeah, but like 360 turn. Do you ever notice what happens
1:24:20
to your car when you pull on a handbrake in the middle of a
1:24:22
corner and it doesn't lock up? It like squats it down.
1:24:25
Yeah, but that's why I'm thinking like gravel and stuff.
1:24:28
So to me, I like that because you're making the car do
1:24:32
something by doing something else.
1:24:33
Like you're, it's, it's a technique.
1:24:35
That's a technique that somebody has in their pocket.
1:24:38
So like, I don't know, I like when people do stuff like that.
1:24:41
Like when somebody tells me, like if somebody checks up in a
1:24:45
corner, I'm not the first person to be like, why the fuck did you
1:24:49
check up in that corner? Like there's a chase.
1:24:52
I'm going to like adjust, but like that person might have had
1:24:55
to do that. Like if they might had they
1:24:56
might. That was maybe by design like to
1:24:58
keep the car at an angle or fucking.
1:25:00
I don't know what you're doing, but so many techniques in that
1:25:05
dude's pocket probably. Yeah, I know.
1:25:07
I couldn't even imagine. I watched the Jewish Bible once.
1:25:12
I don't remember it. I got, I think Ken has let.
1:25:16
Oh no, no, Ken doesn't have it. I mean, Ken probably does have a
1:25:19
fucking copy. All I remember is like the shift
1:25:21
lock or whatever initiation, That shit's sick.
1:25:23
Yeah, I thought. That's what you're going to say
1:25:25
that what's his face taught you when you're in California?
1:25:27
Did he? I was like, I could see him
1:25:30
doing some shit like that. Have you?
1:25:31
Tried to do that. It feels violent if you don't do
1:25:34
it. That's.
1:25:34
The big thing? It feels like I'm going to
1:25:36
fucking destroy. Destroy the engine.
1:25:38
Yeah. All right, I tried it at E town
1:25:41
more. Time I tried it in a parking lot
1:25:42
that well, you know, in a safe area, but like, yeah, it doesn't
1:25:47
feel good. No, if you're not.
1:25:50
You have to have to be like right RPM and all this shit,
1:25:53
because if you're not, then the the money shifting the.
1:25:56
Breaking One is the one that I liked and like latched onto from
1:26:01
that video. We should.
1:26:02
Review that video one day on this.
1:26:04
I want to do it, watch it and then.
1:26:06
Like do it, we're trackside. And then I'm going to go, I'm
1:26:09
down, All right, I'm going to try it now.
1:26:11
Yeah, we shouldn't even set it up.
1:26:12
Then it doesn't even work. Yeah, we'll do that.
1:26:15
But you know that the braking one worked out and you don't
1:26:19
feel it. I know you're about to try it,
1:26:21
which is you're driving and KG goes like this and as he's going
1:26:26
like that, he like hits the brake and then all of a sudden
1:26:29
he's drifting and you're like, what the fuck?
1:26:32
And it doesn't work out in real life because there's like you
1:26:36
just have to feel it. I don't know, it's weird on a
1:26:39
track you could. I mean I even when you're mid
1:26:42
drift you can feel it depending on how hard you hit the brakes
1:26:45
like. That's another thing is like
1:26:47
feeling how much your feet need to do on these things, like
1:26:50
sensory wise. Like dude, when I had a 2:40, I
1:26:55
could tell you how many times I would probably lift off the gas
1:26:58
in a corner because I feel like all my two 40s were slow.
1:27:01
Even my fast 240 was slow. Like it was a stock Sr.
1:27:06
So like I was always just so I, you know, that's what I
1:27:10
associate with that. It's like being floored.
1:27:13
Yeah, just full throttle. Dude, you always got it, dude,
1:27:19
on the ground. And since you're Oh well, your
1:27:22
JDM, your heels or your shoes are going to be saved.
1:27:24
You know what I'm talking. About no.
1:27:27
USDM my shoes on my when I when I had S chassis the heel.
1:27:31
Oh, the exhaust you're talking. About would get so hot.
1:27:34
From you know, I never really had this problem.
1:27:36
I only had cheap exhaust and the heat.
1:27:39
Shield Did you have a floor mat? Yeah.
1:27:44
But like the heel area right there that through the carpet is
1:27:48
like there's like a dimple where.
1:27:49
I always use a floor mat, that way I didn't destroy the carpet
1:27:52
under. And I was.
1:27:53
Those checkered floor mats. Yeah, got to sit in stock right
1:27:56
now. I was driving it for a long
1:27:57
period of time too, so like yeah, 2 hour commute in fourth
1:28:02
gear. All right, so you like Supra's,
1:28:06
you go to car shows, you start seeing Sylvia's.
1:28:10
Yeah, at some point I got into FD like.
1:28:13
That makes sense I. Wanted to do FD1 and then I saw
1:28:16
like I saw like none of those cars were like that cool and
1:28:21
then I saw like actually cool cars.
1:28:22
Thank God you got into it too late and.
1:28:24
I was like, whoa, you. Could have been down a whole
1:28:26
different rabbit. Hole Wait, what diverted you?
1:28:28
OK, so like that's your first view on it.
1:28:30
That's got like big power cages, battle looking cars and then it
1:28:36
and but but for some reason it veered you off.
1:28:38
So I think it was probably like, I would gravitate towards the
1:28:42
Japanese drivers because I was like, oh, it's a Japanese sport,
1:28:46
so the Japanese drivers are probably the best, which isn't
1:28:49
necessarily the fact, but. He's very authentic.
1:28:52
At that time, Daigo was in there and then I think Yokoi had.
1:28:58
A year, 2015. And then you would see Yokoi and
1:29:03
pro car Stocky brake. Still sick of shit.
1:29:06
Yeah. Is that PS15?
1:29:08
Yeah, with HKS core dude. Max.
1:29:11
Just blue and it had a Chrome nose.
1:29:12
That was the last hurrah for FD in my book.
1:29:15
Malcolm, do you mind being a doll and bringing it?
1:29:18
Pull that shit. Up.
1:29:18
Thank you. OK.
1:29:20
Run that shit Malcolm Yokoi. So like Y OK OI.
1:29:26
That's his last name, right? Yeah.
1:29:28
I don't know his first name. Masashi, but it's a little.
1:29:31
Come on, Frank. It's time to spell.
1:29:33
Is it? Masashi.
1:29:34
How do you spell that? MASASHI it's not actually hard,
1:29:38
but. Well, you're a genius, so.
1:29:41
I just know Japanese. Were you a genius in school?
1:29:43
I was in the gifted programs. I could tell.
1:29:47
Thanks I guess all. Right, that one.
1:29:50
Oh fuck it, what you? Oh shit, that do go hard.
1:29:53
Yeah, dude, that car is. In that wall and he was going
1:29:57
against JTPI think and it was like literally hurricaning and
1:30:03
JTP spins right at that. I guess it would be like the
1:30:08
first actual transition. Yeah, the when they come
1:30:10
downhill, yeah, that really annoying spun.
1:30:12
Spun there and then Yokoi just like drifted past him perfectly.
1:30:16
It was so. Fucking Oh, I kind of remember
1:30:17
that. Can you, Malcolm?
1:30:20
S in the front. In car shot of this car.
1:30:24
Is that the D Max kit? That was a shit ton of money.
1:30:26
Yeah, that's like the, I think it's called the D1 spec.
1:30:30
It wasn't a maybe it's not a shit ton of money, but it
1:30:32
wasn't. Old.
1:30:32
Yeah, It's not like what you would see on a streetcar.
1:30:34
Yeah, it's not like. The Type 3 third one maybe?
1:30:36
No, that's old. That's not.
1:30:38
That's his. That's the that's the video,
1:30:40
Malcolm. See Stockyburn.
1:30:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Click that.
1:30:43
Oh, he bought the little. He got the little coin on there.
1:30:46
That's what I did. They just put tape around it.
1:30:50
That's what I do. I know, it's crazy.
1:30:52
Not anymore, but. He's at FD like.
1:30:54
Ironically, D Max makes the fucking button bro.
1:30:58
Look at the fucking look at the tie rod.
1:31:00
Look at. The fucking buttons.
1:31:01
Look at the tie rod extension for the fucking shifter.
1:31:05
Get with it people. It ain't.
1:31:07
It's how you. Do it.
1:31:08
Look at the fucking cooling duct for his for his seat.
1:31:10
I love that shit. That's what the Thrash Racing
1:31:13
inserts for. Or that's a Brit, I think.
1:31:15
Dude this was the I remember when I first saw this video.
1:31:17
It was years after the event and I was like, are you fucking
1:31:20
kidding me? This guy was driving around with
1:31:23
a fucking stock handbrake. I was like, this guy, I'm so mad
1:31:26
that like, it's it's just not. We can never go back.
1:31:29
Yeah, it's not financially feasible for this shit to
1:31:31
happen. And then like, sometimes someone
1:31:33
will make it happen. They'll do it for one year and
1:31:34
then they're like, well, that was the biggest waste of money.
1:31:36
Well, yeah. To be fair though, this car is
1:31:37
still like a full on full. Did they ship it back?
1:31:41
Yeah, I think so. This is like the top D1 car for
1:31:44
like 4 years or something. It was still like a built like
1:31:48
3.42 J sequential obviously, but it was just cause the it's a
1:31:55
different swag, you know? Yeah, like the J guys have a
1:31:58
different. Swag.
1:31:58
So you saw this and you were like I saw.
1:32:00
Shit like this and I was like, oh, they do a way cooler over
1:32:02
there. And then I think Nomuken,
1:32:06
Nomuken with the Urus and Blitz. I think that was one of my first
1:32:10
Japanese guys that I was like studying everything that he did.
1:32:15
And then I saw like the old, probably because of Gran
1:32:17
Turismo, because his cars in Gran.
1:32:19
Turismo. So you play Gran Turismo too?
1:32:20
You play a lot of Gran. Turismo that had a big influence
1:32:23
in you on you, probably because I know a lot.
1:32:25
For sure. Yeah.
1:32:26
Little things, you see how like all the switches and shit,
1:32:29
There's not. It's not even really that
1:32:30
pretty. That's not it.
1:32:31
Looks pretty stock. No, no.
1:32:33
But I'm saying I like wow, hey, damn, wow, wow, wow.
1:32:38
This isn't my my YouTube. But like, for some reason like
1:32:41
that, that's what I like. It looks racy, but not really.
1:32:44
Yeah, but it's like it's like basic too, though I need to.
1:32:47
Make my car cooler man, like that shit you.
1:32:49
Just need a cage too. Yeah, I got my little switches
1:32:52
right there and I turn it on. All right, so you were seeing
1:32:55
that shit, so that makes sense. Yeah, you got lucky.
1:32:57
Like. Older and older with it and I
1:32:59
was just got cooler and cooler. After that did not get any
1:33:02
cooler really. And then I think I I like 90s
1:33:05
style cars too, but I think 2000, 2001 is like peak.
1:33:10
Yeah, put a 19 on the back of the IS, dude.
1:33:12
You should. I was going to do nineteens.
1:33:14
I was going to do 1918 and nineteens.
1:33:16
What about like risky Devil and and well, for you it'd be
1:33:19
proceed like all those guys. You saw.
1:33:20
So that was definitely I definitely got into that, but I
1:33:24
would say more so after the Japanese stuff already.
1:33:28
But like obviously Josh proceed you, it's not to inflate your
1:33:36
head at all, but. Yeah, no, but people have said
1:33:39
that before and I don't. Like that's like think about,
1:33:41
that's the, that's the reason I would drive like an hour and a
1:33:43
half. I was going to say that's the
1:33:44
reason. My car, yeah, that's the reason
1:33:46
you came here originally. It was one of them.
1:33:47
I thought your car was cool. That's so.
1:33:49
That's so awesome. That and all of my favorite
1:33:51
photos of Frankie's cars are like that one up there.
1:33:54
That's the one. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's
1:33:56
cool. Hurry up, unk.
1:33:58
Fuck yeah, let me get those. Let.
1:34:01
Me get those blitzes. I had to see.
1:34:03
You could borrow them if you want.
1:34:04
I had to see the hood the 1st. Time I brought my car, you said
1:34:07
you. Would test did I say?
1:34:09
You said that you you would test fit them on the car if I brought
1:34:12
lunch and I brought 90 Chick-fil-A Nuggets and you?
1:34:14
Didn't you didn't bring it up? You didn't bring it up.
1:34:16
You think I would remember that? Shit, I don't know, he said.
1:34:18
He brought 90 Nuggets and you didn't remember just to fucking
1:34:22
let him put the. Wheels.
1:34:23
Go get the wheels right now, put them on your car and drive them
1:34:26
home. No, don't.
1:34:26
It's probably salt on the road, but.
1:34:27
Dude, those. In the spring.
1:34:29
Tires are probably not. Safe.
1:34:32
Oh yeah, don't do that. Never.
1:34:33
Mind my tires aren't safe now so it's fine.
1:34:36
If my car is not running by the spring, which it definitely
1:34:38
should be, you can borrow that. Sick.
1:34:42
It was you for real up there. Like that car that we're talking
1:34:47
about when we're talking about styling.
1:34:49
You know what the funniest part is about all this bullshit?
1:34:51
I'm not even that good at drifting at all.
1:34:53
This that I know, but the car? I'm really not the.
1:34:56
Car just like has like a present, like I'm literally
1:34:59
looking at it. The car just has a presence
1:35:00
about it that now is just not there in the drifting world of
1:35:04
New Jersey. So so we got we need to get it
1:35:06
back because I'm tired of looking all these Foo Foo ass
1:35:09
people like that. Like some cars just look so
1:35:12
fucking looking ugly. And I'm like what the fuck?
1:35:14
But Kohl's car looks good. My car's.
1:35:15
Ugly. Well, right now it is.
1:35:18
For you, Carl, though, it's the the vision is there and that's
1:35:21
how I see it with my car too, right?
1:35:23
So like it's three different colors, it could be one.
1:35:28
Color, but there's a presence that it has.
1:35:30
So the way I put it, I thought about this the other day is it's
1:35:33
almost like built in gatekeeping.
1:35:35
So like, so like normies or whatever who see the car are
1:35:39
just going to see like, oh, it's just like a shitty 240 that's
1:35:42
like painted five different colours.
1:35:44
But then people who know will see everything else and they'll
1:35:47
see the parts and stuff and they'll be like, oh, that's
1:35:48
pretty cool. I like I like the car the way it
1:35:50
looks right now. I think I can't fucking stand.
1:35:52
It I always like cars right before the paint, like right
1:35:56
when you have everything and right before the paint comes.
1:36:00
It's always like, that's my favorite when it's like
1:36:01
different body panels. The only thing is right before
1:36:04
the paint comes it's been like 2.
1:36:05
Years, I know it's got to come eventually and then and then
1:36:09
eventually you'll do it again. But yeah, you're, you're past
1:36:12
that point now. Now you got to paint it.
1:36:13
Yeah, blue. Everybody's size blue.
1:36:16
Same. Base I blue yeah, that's the
1:36:17
best color there is so. May I paint my shit?
1:36:22
Turquoise teal. Color changing chartreuse.
1:36:26
I want it to be color changing. What's too much work?
1:36:29
If you beef a? If you beef a panel and you
1:36:32
repaint it, fuck that. You have to like paint it in the
1:36:34
same kind of way so that the chameleon will still work.
1:36:39
Which is crazy to think that they had pro gift cards.
1:36:43
Yes, yes, yes. That's crazy too.
1:36:48
Dude Quinn from I think that's SL spirit FRS team or 86 team I
1:36:55
don't know anyway. I know you're talking, yeah.
1:36:58
He was trying to put me onto some Mizor.
1:37:01
What's a? What's a?
1:37:01
What's a car that's? Shut up.
1:37:03
What's? AD one car that's painted like
1:37:05
that. There's a signal AUTO R34 which
1:37:09
was actually FD. Yeah, I think about that, but.
1:37:12
There was. That's a car we'd be seeing.
1:37:14
Sometimes that's a yeah, that's an FD car, so I never knew that.
1:37:18
Originally it was. I don't know the exact chain of
1:37:22
events, but at some point it was like a highway top speed car, it
1:37:25
was a drag car, it was a time attack car, and then at the end
1:37:29
it was a drift car. Oh, that's what my car is about
1:37:31
to be. I'm not drifting.
1:37:33
Dude I want to fucking time attack the 180 so bad I feel
1:37:36
like. It would be really funny.
1:37:37
It is sick. I used to auto cross the Hatch
1:37:39
that I had and I went to one where that I guess the fucking
1:37:43
instructor saw my tires were kind of bald.
1:37:46
And he was like, because they don't like drifting going on
1:37:48
there, but I guess they saw it was kind of bald.
1:37:52
And instructor sat in there and we had like a bit of oversteer
1:37:57
and I'd laid on it and the instructor was just giggling
1:38:00
like, fuck. And then he was like, yeah, try
1:38:02
to keep that stuff down at a minute.
1:38:04
I'm like, Oh yeah, so sorry. Sorry, we almost had fun.
1:38:07
Sorry, we. Yeah, exactly.
1:38:09
I'm like. Sorry, we almost had fun.
1:38:10
I'm like, damn, calm it down. But it was good I that car I had
1:38:13
it on 250 fives all around Nitto and TO5 I think was the weapon
1:38:19
of choice. Longgen junior over.
1:38:21
Here was that before you were drifting.
1:38:24
I think I was just trying to find some way to occupy, like we
1:38:28
weren't drifting all the time. So I was just my friends were
1:38:31
auto crossing. I have a 2:40 I'm going to go
1:38:34
auto cross. All right, let's get his Japan
1:38:37
trip. Oh, before that Sego Yamamoto is
1:38:40
J ZX100 Chaser was also Maziora. Can you look at?
1:38:43
Yeah, like a super crazy paint job though, 'cause he had like.
1:38:46
Malcolm's face, I said, can you look that up?
1:38:47
He fucking gave me a Sinai. Like what?
1:38:50
What do I have? Yeah, just just look up Maziora,
1:38:53
Sega, Mamayoru. Yeah.
1:38:56
Did you like the base of the car was Maziora?
1:38:59
Know what to do? What is it called?
1:39:02
SEIGO And then Yama Y AM A Moto Moto and then JZX 100.
1:39:13
I don't know if that'll bring it up, but that's one of them.
1:39:22
I'll take any of those, do some. There's a lot of Toyota on the
1:39:27
screen. Do you know what Around what
1:39:29
year? Yeah, this would be like 2002
1:39:31
thousand and one. Is it that car?
1:39:36
That dark car. Is that car but not that paint
1:39:39
job? Damn.
1:39:40
So I'm pretty sure it is an awesome.
1:39:41
Fucking I love those wheels. Josh has a fucking pair of
1:39:44
those, I think. I don't know if he still has
1:39:47
them. Yeah, it has to be that car
1:39:48
because he's got that crazy fucking intercooler.
1:39:50
On it and he made it kind of 2 door.
1:39:52
What the fuck? Or he made it with the illusion
1:39:54
of it being 2 door. Do you see that that's.
1:39:58
Not the paint job, but it's that car he the he had.
1:40:02
The base of it was like that Mazziora that likes one that
1:40:06
everybody knows, like the purple, blue, whatever, but then
1:40:08
he had like white flame hot rod front on it.
1:40:14
That sucks that like you'd have to fucking go crazy to repaint
1:40:17
everything though. I don't think I would ever do
1:40:19
that. You could kind of see that it's
1:40:20
got a lot of flake in it. Yeah, it kind.
1:40:22
Of does look like it's it, it's just the photo sucks and yeah,
1:40:25
it's. Like the Wheels 57 Pro God.
1:40:30
All right, So good car. Did you go to Japan?
1:40:33
Yes. Why?
1:40:35
Because you're obsessed with Japan?
1:40:36
Because. I wanted to and I was like,
1:40:38
now's the time. OK, how was it?
1:40:44
I was about to say, like you, you keep circling back to this
1:40:46
fucking Japan trip like you better fucking ask some
1:40:48
questions. Any any like highlights of that
1:40:51
trip? So the first one.
1:40:55
Did you go alone? First time I went with my mom
1:40:57
and my little brother and then the second time I went alone.
1:41:00
OK, is your mom obsessed with Japan?
1:41:02
No how she thinks it's cool but she's just like traveling in.
1:41:05
General, she does okay. Nice.
1:41:07
So you got to like share that the food, but not really because
1:41:11
you don't eat anything. But yeah.
1:41:15
Call. The call's a little bit the.
1:41:16
Pizza was pretty good. The pizza definitely wasn't.
1:41:19
I don't. Want it was good here.
1:41:20
What the fuck that was? Probably the 711 pizza.
1:41:23
No, it was like New York style. Like legit.
1:41:25
But how would you know what that is if you don't eat?
1:41:27
That I could see that nailing. Oh, you.
1:41:29
Do New York's pizzas on the pizzas on the list?
1:41:31
I could see them nailing that shit because they're Japanese.
1:41:33
Yeah, because generally what they do when they're like making
1:41:35
foreign food is they'll ship the cook or whatever place like
1:41:39
Italy, US or whatever. So they cook when they get
1:41:42
Staten Island years. The the one of the places that I
1:41:44
went to, that dude lived in the Bronx for like 20.
1:41:47
Years I would have that, yeah, it was that was.
1:41:49
Fucking amazing, yeah. Making chop?
1:41:52
You got ock out there making chopped cheeses in Japan?
1:41:54
That's crazy. They're down to like they have
1:41:58
like the plastic trays. Oh, really?
1:42:01
Like the not lunch trays, but kind of like lunch trays that
1:42:04
like all the New York, NY style places have.
1:42:07
So cool. Yeah, Anyway.
1:42:09
Car stuff. What else?
1:42:10
Did you do so before I went, I messaged just a couple random
1:42:16
people on Instagram just whose cars that I liked.
1:42:20
And I was like, hey, your car's cool.
1:42:23
It would be cool if we could meet and I could see your car.
1:42:27
Keep in mind you can't necessarily just do that.
1:42:31
Like I know an amount of Japanese to where it wasn't
1:42:34
like, well I was good. Don't just like write them in
1:42:36
English. 20 years ago this would be extremely creepy, but
1:42:39
nowadays that's like not even that weird.
1:42:40
I'm writing them in English probably.
1:42:42
That's probably why I don't get no responses but.
1:42:44
Honestly probably part of it not not even like a oh I'm not going
1:42:48
to respond to this dude because he's in English but just like AI
1:42:51
don't know how to respond you. Should do.
1:42:52
A side note here. You took Japanese at some point,
1:42:55
yeah. And so you knew a little bit or
1:42:58
a lot of it. I know enough.
1:43:01
I'm definitely not fluent by any means.
1:43:03
You can't tell me to go fuck myself in Japanese.
1:43:06
There's a couple different ways to do that, but.
1:43:08
He knows how to speak it. I had conversations like I could
1:43:12
would go days without speaking any English.
1:43:15
But oh wow. But.
1:43:16
Anyway, you lined these cars up that you had some sort of
1:43:20
connection with. Yeah, so the first time I went,
1:43:24
I wrote this guy, you die, you die.
1:43:26
Yoshizuka, he's got the IT doesn't help that I went to see
1:43:31
multiple blue 180's, but he's got like the low, low blue 180.
1:43:36
He he's probably more well known for he had the red works 9 car
1:43:41
that was like dumped on Minervas, but he after that he
1:43:48
built another 180 that was more like 2000 style.
1:43:52
OK, so I wrote him and that turned into like again, when I'm
1:44:00
writing them, I'm just like, oh, I'm just going to come stop by
1:44:02
and see the car. Not even taking into into
1:44:05
account that like I'm staying in Tokyo and he lives in Niigata
1:44:08
which is like a 2 1/2 hour train right away.
1:44:11
Crazy. So but I'm just thinking like,
1:44:13
Oh yeah, it'll be like an hour maybe, and then I'll come back.
1:44:16
He sets up this whole thing for me of like he invites his
1:44:19
friends to also have cool cars and he's taking me around
1:44:23
Niigata and like showing me places and we go to like Maze
1:44:26
Circuit which is what the fuck if you don't know that track is
1:44:29
fucking awesome. Did you go with your mom and
1:44:32
your brother? Or no.
1:44:33
For that, it was just so. You went alone on the train and
1:44:36
everything. Yeah.
1:44:36
How that? How was that?
1:44:37
It was cool. It was, you know.
1:44:39
You felt fine, yeah. Yeah, you probably felt so free
1:44:43
and cool. Yeah, right.
1:44:44
Oh damn, it must have been a cool experience it.
1:44:46
Was very much like, what the fuck am I doing?
1:44:48
Yeah, and. Then when I got the big.
1:44:50
The big thing was I got off the train and I'm standing at the
1:44:53
station and I'm just sort of standing there waiting and then
1:44:57
I can hear Sr. 20s in the distance and I'm like, what the
1:45:00
fuck am I doing right now? And then I see the two cars pull
1:45:03
up. I'm like, what is going on?
1:45:06
Yeah, like this is cool. Yeah.
1:45:07
And then we just went around. We ended up like collecting more
1:45:14
friends as we would stop in more places.
1:45:17
So I'd end up being maybe like 5 people.
1:45:20
So they were just cruising around and.
1:45:23
Yeah, just like shown the area, I guess.
1:45:26
Just trying to show me. And you could communicate with
1:45:28
one of them or all of them. Yeah.
1:45:30
And you were like. Good.
1:45:31
Like there's definitely times where I was like, uh, what the
1:45:34
fuck is going on? But for the most part and then
1:45:38
that first trip I also went to meet Ito from team break.
1:45:43
That's crazy. He runs Secret Base now.
1:45:46
He has a helper assistant who's like a long time friend of his.
1:45:52
His name's Rob, that's his nickname.
1:45:55
He's a Japanese guy, but he lived in America for.
1:45:57
And this is Rob. I don't even.
1:45:59
I Rob's awesome. Rob's one of my favorite.
1:46:01
People and Rob. Rob Rob has so Rob he has a in
1:46:07
Japan. He has a 240 really Sr. swapped
1:46:10
obviously, but he's got like a full the GP sports big wide body
1:46:14
kit that. 240SX like KA. He has an Sr., but now he has
1:46:18
but. He swapped the Sr. in it, Yeah.
1:46:20
Why did he even do that? Why did he even bring that car
1:46:22
over there? I don't know.
1:46:23
He's a big like USDM fanatic, so he's got AI like that.
1:46:26
He's got a Altetsa, Gita, like the Sport Cross, but he's got
1:46:29
Lexus badges on it. He's got a Mazda Demio.
1:46:32
Crazy. He's got a Mazda Demio, which is
1:46:34
a Mazda 2 and then has all the Mazda stuff on it.
1:46:37
It's literally the exact opposite of what we do.
1:46:40
Bro I mean in the Philippines if you have a Ford Expedition
1:46:42
you're hot shit you know, same concept.
1:46:45
Except they have the real versions of the cars there.
1:46:47
Ranching ain't easy. You are so crazy.
1:46:52
That's, that's, that's something that over there and then over
1:46:55
here it's like, oh, ranching easy.
1:46:56
And then over there, it's like ranching, yeah.
1:47:00
Sorry, Cole. You're good.
1:47:01
But yeah, Rob picked me up from the train station and we went
1:47:05
there to eat the shop. Secret Bass, shut up.
1:47:09
I'm sorry, Rob. Like it's just Rob.
1:47:12
I'm sorry. It just sounds like I don't.
1:47:13
Know it's 'cause I get it, there's like a bunch of these
1:47:16
funny names and yeah, I want to giggle about it, but I want to
1:47:18
hear Cole. 'S I know, I know, I know.
1:47:20
It's just, it's cool. His name's Rob, you know, Look
1:47:24
at Cole. He's like, why am I here?
1:47:26
Can I fucking talk? Guys, feel free to say that.
1:47:28
Yeah, please. Thank you.
1:47:29
I. Would never.
1:47:30
We would let you know. But yeah, and that was that was
1:47:34
just cool meeting like one of my absolute idols.
1:47:37
Yeah, that's insane to me. And then like talking to him.
1:47:39
You just messaged him. Yeah, is it a champagne colored
1:47:43
240? Red.
1:47:46
Which one? Rob's car?
1:47:47
It's it's red. Oh I seen another 240 for some.
1:47:51
Maybe it's just badged like that, but I thought it was a 240
1:47:55
just champagne colored. He's got another friend who has
1:47:57
a 240 that's white. It's so crazy that there's two
1:48:00
40s over there and it's. Dumped on like Chrome tease and
1:48:03
he's got the signal auto. Really.
1:48:06
So people can do that over there and not get shot?
1:48:08
It's not like what? It's not like putting a Hells
1:48:10
Angels thing on the back of. Your I guess I don't.
1:48:12
Know I figured it'd be crazy I. Thought I put a brake sticker on
1:48:14
my car. Yeah, but we're over here.
1:48:17
True. So it's like we got a whole.
1:48:18
Ocean. Yeah, I don't know.
1:48:20
Yeah, over there, I'm like. The Politics of.
1:48:23
It, you know what I mean? That's like someone putting like
1:48:24
a Front Street sticker on their car randomly.
1:48:27
Oh. That'd be that'd be crazy cool.
1:48:29
I got faction stickers all over my.
1:48:31
Car, No, but it's not the same exact.
1:48:33
Like if they put the Front Street, you know what I mean?
1:48:34
Like if they literally were and they're like, yeah, I'm on the
1:48:38
team. No, I mean that's different I
1:48:39
guess, but I don't know something to think about.
1:48:42
The crazy thing is that some of those like old school cars have.
1:48:46
I don't know why we didn't fucking go right up to Bi's car
1:48:49
and put up a fucking faction sticker.
1:48:51
What are we? I don't like doing that.
1:48:52
What are we doing? I don't.
1:48:54
I mean I would do it if like I was talking to him and he said
1:48:57
put a sticker on my car. And.
1:48:59
But like, I'm not going to put a sticker on someone's car unless
1:49:01
they. Left.
1:49:01
Well, no, there was all the he was telling people to put it
1:49:04
with their all. Yeah, like if I was there and he
1:49:06
told me to do it, then yeah, sure, I guess, yeah.
1:49:08
That's just cool. Like he went all, he took that
1:49:10
car all the way back. I mean, I literally was there
1:49:14
with him. I'd sick, but I didn't go to the
1:49:16
shop. They went to the shop this one
1:49:17
night. Jimmy and Ethan, I think.
1:49:20
Did Ethan go? I think Ethan went.
1:49:22
And then went to the. Shop No, I don't think Ethan
1:49:24
went because Ethan was mad. Fucking didn't go to the shop.
1:49:27
Because they gave him like legit old stickers like all like yeah,
1:49:32
I forget which one it was, but like old stickers like I think.
1:49:36
I know the one that you're talking, the one that you put
1:49:38
like on the B pillar. No, I think it was like.
1:49:41
The West Co one that's on. I don't even think it was that
1:49:44
much. Really cool, just something.
1:49:45
Does it make sense that they would be signal auto stickers?
1:49:47
Yeah, buy was with. Signal.
1:49:49
Yeah, I think it was those. And I was like, that's cool.
1:49:51
That OG, Yeah, buy his OG car. So there's the Komatsu car,
1:49:57
which is the sexy style. Didn't he have one with RB or is
1:50:02
that someone else? You might be thinking of Karoi.
1:50:04
Yes, I am Karoi. Karoi.
1:50:06
We call it Karoi, but it's probably not that.
1:50:08
Yeah, it's Karoi. Yeah, but that car is cool too.
1:50:12
That car buys Orange 180 with the M sports and the signal auto
1:50:17
stripe. Fuck.
1:50:18
Yeah, yeah, it's a good car. He had 20s on that ho.
1:50:22
Yeah, at some point that was like, that's crazy.
1:50:23
That was a big Osaka thing around that time.
1:50:26
You should run out of wheels. You should but 19 19 inch
1:50:31
Minervas I'm. Going to tell you something
1:50:32
after this because. You.
1:50:35
Can still get 19 inch Minervas now.
1:50:36
I found nineteens of the whole set of a whole set of nineteens
1:50:40
of the wheels that I have currently.
1:50:43
So now I would have eighteens for up front, the wide eighteens
1:50:46
spares and then I have spares for the back in 19.
1:50:50
The Amistads. They're amistad bright.
1:50:54
Side note. Oh.
1:50:57
Stop fucking saying that Amistad charms came before Blitzo 3's,
1:51:01
that's not real. I don't know, they were Chrome.
1:51:03
And they don't know shit. I bought them.
1:51:04
That's shit. That's just a thing.
1:51:06
I bought them because I like. That's a thing that's been on
1:51:08
the Internet that I've seen. People say they came before.
1:51:12
Yeah, people, people get like, I wouldn't be making a point of
1:51:16
this if it wasn't like a whole thing.
1:51:19
But obviously Blitzo 3's have sort of a reputation now because
1:51:23
they're exorbitantly expensive. But whenever someone would have
1:51:27
them for sale, people would be like, oh those are reps of
1:51:30
Amistad charms just to like try to degrade them, but they're
1:51:33
not. Don't degrade my blitz O threes.
1:51:36
Hey man, Daryl's got charms. We're in an Amistad house.
1:51:38
I like them. I like them.
1:51:40
I'm just saying both the Toyotas, yeah.
1:51:43
Both of them. Amistads O threes were like late
1:51:46
90s. Amistads were like early 2000s.
1:51:50
Yeah, just something to keep in mind.
1:51:54
Speaking of Blitz of threes, part of what was so cool was
1:51:59
just like the little dumb stories here and there.
1:52:01
So like one of Ito's stories that he told me, which is one of
1:52:04
my favourites, was they were doing a shoot for either Drift
1:52:11
Tangoku or option one of the two, and they were doing like a
1:52:14
turbo test. So they got a bunch of the 180
1:52:17
guys. So like Ito, Poguchi, Takahashi,
1:52:22
Takashi, and they all had different turbos and they were
1:52:24
just like seeing the difference. But in that shoot or prior to
1:52:30
that shoot, Ito bought like brand new Blitzo threes, which
1:52:33
were like, obviously they're not as expensive.
1:52:36
They're not as expensive as they are now, but.
1:52:38
They're so expensive. I think they were like 600 USD
1:52:40
or 500 USD or something. I don't know.
1:52:42
I think they were like in the fact because you have to keep in
1:52:45
mind they're like big three piece.
1:52:46
Wheels. I saw a price the other day but
1:52:48
I don't know what it was. It wasn't that crazy though. 4
1:52:50
grand I found a set. Either way, brand new.
1:52:53
And he I think you could only get them in silver with, like,
1:52:57
the polished lip. Yeah, but he wanted gold.
1:53:00
So he just spray painted the face as gold.
1:53:04
And he was saying, like Kaguchi was telling him, like, why would
1:53:08
you do that? What are you doing?
1:53:09
And he's just like, I just wanted gold.
1:53:11
And then they did that shoot and the article came out and Blitz
1:53:15
got like so many calls of like people looking for the gold O
1:53:20
threes. They're like, we don't make
1:53:22
those. It was off just because he spray
1:53:24
painted his wheels with like rattle can.
1:53:26
And people really started running Gold Blitz.
1:53:29
I feel like a lot of people had gold ones, especially the stance
1:53:32
scene. So that kind of makes sense.
1:53:35
So are those the two people that you met on that trip?
1:53:39
I mean, I know it's more than two, but the two people that you
1:53:41
wrote. First trip and then Yuki from
1:53:45
Mokomans. He's got like a yellow FDR.
1:53:48
Seven. Yeah, yeah, it's really cool
1:53:49
too. And then that trip I was
1:53:52
supposed to meet a different Yuki.
1:53:56
He's got the Itai replica car, OK, but something happened with
1:54:00
it so I don't. We didn't end up meeting but
1:54:04
then the second trip. Which was how long after the
1:54:06
first one? A year.
1:54:07
Like almost exactly a year. OK, the second trip I was like,
1:54:11
OK, we have to meet, I'm coming again.
1:54:14
And then this trip, you just went alone.
1:54:17
Yeah, this trip I went alone. I was I'm.
1:54:19
Coming again? I was there for a month and he
1:54:22
was like really excited. He was like, oh, you can stay at
1:54:24
my house and it's like, I'm going to be for a month.
1:54:27
I don't, I don't know that he realized that it was for a
1:54:30
month, but I was like, yeah, I'll, I'll come over for like a
1:54:33
weekend. So I, he picked me up on a
1:54:37
Friday and that that Saturday he was, it wasn't him hosting the
1:54:43
event, but it was his crew. He's with SB Corporation.
1:54:47
They were hosting a event at Goonsai, which is another like
1:54:53
for me like Holy Grail track. So we did that.
1:55:01
And you were going for a month? Yeah, this is a long time.
1:55:04
Yeah, I was there for a little while.
1:55:06
This is a long time away from America and your family and your
1:55:09
friends. A month is like you're gone.
1:55:11
Like you're you might as well just move there at that.
1:55:13
Point your plants are. Dead.
1:55:14
Oh, well, that was kind of that is like.
1:55:16
You're like, maybe I will. Let's just have to figure
1:55:18
something out while I'm here. Yeah, dude, that's crazy.
1:55:22
That was really cool because then he, so he's got the Itai
1:55:26
car, his girlfriend has the Koguchi replica car, the black
1:55:29
one. Yeah.
1:55:31
So I was staying over their house and then they, he was
1:55:34
introducing me to like all the other SP Corporation guys.
1:55:37
So if you know the the width run car, it's like the glossy green
1:55:42
180. I don't think I do.
1:55:46
Either way, sort of like legendary car I guess.
1:55:50
Oh, then show me a photo of it. Maybe I do.
1:55:55
Koguchi's car? No.
1:55:56
Oh, whose car? Spanking on his name I feel like
1:56:01
shit. Oh, that's fine.
1:56:03
I mean, I don't know shit. It's the guy who runs SP
1:56:05
Corporation. OK, but if you I probably don't
1:56:07
know it then. If you look up like on
1:56:09
Instagram, I think there's an archive page for it.
1:56:11
If you look up like with, run. As we're doing this, Josh from
1:56:15
Prosy is texting me. Just photos of all the cars we
1:56:17
couldn't find. Did he get Sego's car?
1:56:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me see.
1:56:23
So this was when it was painted that all the crazy colors.
1:56:26
That was when it was painted like a lighter.
1:56:29
I was like more silver. But he had another one that.
1:56:31
Was yeah, the garage S sticker. Yeah, that was his shot.
1:56:34
Hard garage S is. Safe.
1:56:35
What in the front mount is going on here?
1:56:38
I didn't even see it. Oh my God, the bumper's like
1:56:44
that. The bumper's cut like exactly.
1:56:46
I know you hate that. Yeah, I hate it.
1:56:49
That looks like. Shit, but the rest of the car is
1:56:51
cool. Shout out Josh.
1:56:52
I miss Josh, he just drove Polecat.
1:56:55
Yeah, I really want to talk to him about that.
1:56:57
Yeah. I wish I drove that shit.
1:56:59
Maybe we'll do AI know we don't do remote podcast but we should
1:57:03
do maybe one for the Patreon with Josh.
1:57:06
Don't break now, for we'd have them right?
1:57:09
We'd have them right here. Podcast 180 you got to have all
1:57:12
the one that's. On Yeah, Yeah.
1:57:15
But yeah, so did that. Did a little drifting while I
1:57:19
was there. Yuki's girlfriend arena She let
1:57:23
me drive her car a Kaguchi 1. So now you're driving a 180 in
1:57:27
Japan. Not yeah, now at goonsai, Yeah,
1:57:30
now to be fair, not on the toge course, because if she had, she
1:57:34
had even offered that, I would have been like Nah.
1:57:36
That's just. I would have been like, hell
1:57:38
yeah. But.
1:57:39
So you drove it. You drifted it.
1:57:41
I drifted it. That was a funny situation
1:57:43
because she was like, you know how to drift, right?
1:57:46
I was like, yeah. She was like, do you want to
1:57:48
drift my car? I was like, can I?
1:57:52
She's like, sure, OK. That's all it takes.
1:57:58
Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, I guess.
1:58:01
So you got to get a little feel of drifting there.
1:58:04
Yes, yes. And then after the event, we
1:58:07
went to the izakaya. What is that?
1:58:10
It's like a the best way I can equate it to is like a
1:58:14
restaurant. Yeah, it's a type of restaurant.
1:58:16
It's kind of like a pub, but not really.
1:58:18
It's basically you have, it's meant for like bigger parties,
1:58:21
OK. And you sort of just like nobody
1:58:25
orders like, oh, I'm going to have this and I'm going to have
1:58:28
this. It's just you order for the
1:58:30
table. That's where we're bringing you
1:58:31
tonight. Well, yeah, that's where I tried
1:58:33
all the weird shit. Yeah, so everyone needs to keep
1:58:35
in mind, I kind of want to talk about this because this isn't,
1:58:37
this is an important thing for people that travel like because
1:58:40
I know a lot of people travel and they're like, Oh, well, I'm
1:58:42
a picky eater, you know, this and that.
1:58:43
Cole is the pickiest eater I have met to date.
1:58:46
And he went to Japan alone for a month, and he's alive still, so.
1:58:51
I made it work. It's pretty crazy, but go on
1:58:53
with your story. So they you tried something over
1:58:55
there and. Yeah, I tried like cow intestine
1:58:58
and like chicken gizzard and stuff like that.
1:59:01
He just went with it. He's like, I'm happy because.
1:59:03
I'm like with a bunch of like cool people.
1:59:05
They're just like, hey, try this.
1:59:07
Yeah, and you can't really say no in that situation.
1:59:10
Yeah, that is how they get you. Yeah.
1:59:12
Not that I've had it been to Japan before, but in another
1:59:15
area I have experienced that. Yeah, like if I'm at someone's
1:59:18
house and I'm like, oh, you gotta try this.
1:59:19
I'm like OK, I guess I'm trying it.
1:59:20
Yeah, so here's this raw pig year.
1:59:22
Yeah. And then I'm like.
1:59:23
Yeah, they were laughing at me because they were like, oh,
1:59:27
you're American. So you like cheeseburgers,
1:59:29
right? Yeah.
1:59:29
I was like, no, I'm like, what the fuck?
1:59:33
Yeah, that was cool. I'm glad that happened.
1:59:36
But yeah, so I made a deal with Cole.
1:59:37
I said, yo, come on the podcast, but I'm taking you to Korean BBQ
1:59:39
afterwards. And he's like.
1:59:42
I've had it on my calendar for three weeks.
1:59:44
So he's he said OK, but yeah, we'll see what happens.
1:59:47
I'm so hungry dude. Yeah, we're pretty hungry.
1:59:49
Let me. Anything else you want to talk
1:59:52
about with your Japan trip? I know there's a lot of shit
1:59:55
that we didn't get to. Yeah.
1:59:55
There's a lot of shit I went to. I met Ito again and that was
2:00:00
really cool because Rob ended up telling me after the fact he was
2:00:03
like, Oh yeah, Ito was like really excited that you were
2:00:06
coming back. I was like, and Rob, that feels
2:00:08
really cool, yeah. And then I got to meet Koguchi
2:00:10
as. Well, that, yeah, that's what I
2:00:12
kind of wanted to cover at least.
2:00:13
Before we Christ. He literally met like all the
2:00:15
time. People he met.
2:00:18
Where's Johnny? Right.
2:00:20
Yeah. Johnny, yo, yeah.
2:00:21
That's crazy. Johnny needs to go to Japan
2:00:23
really bad. That guy needs to go to Japan.
2:00:25
Me and him were both. I think we need to go with coal
2:00:28
like there we go. I'm.
2:00:30
Going to go next week. Kohl's like I'm going tomorrow,
2:00:33
so I don't know if you guys are going to make it.
2:00:35
When are you going back? Sometime 2025 because I got to
2:00:39
make it a yearly thing, but OK. Hopefully not in August because
2:00:42
it's really fucking hot. Oh really?
2:00:44
It's like 95° or more every single day.
2:00:47
Yeah, that's, that's miserable. Yeah, I wanted to go for a Tokyo
2:00:50
auto salon, but. Yeah, that was.
2:00:52
Not in the cards right now, but Koguchi, before I, before I
2:00:58
start looking at these questions, how was that you went
2:01:02
to a shop? I know he's got like a garage
2:01:04
somewhere. Yeah, so I didn't have like a
2:01:06
rental car or anything, so I just took the train up there and
2:01:09
then the bus, and then I had to walk like an extra 10 minutes.
2:01:12
It's like in the middle of nowhere.
2:01:14
Yeah, it's countryside like his. It's his shop.
2:01:17
And then rice fields. Yep.
2:01:20
That's exactly how I would like it.
2:01:21
I mean, at least you could take a train like to somewhere near
2:01:24
it, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's still like I would
2:01:26
still, if I was doing it again, I would get a car, but to the
2:01:31
point where it's him and his wife and his wife was, did you
2:01:35
walk here? And I was like, yeah.
2:01:37
And she was like, do you want me to drive you back to the
2:01:40
station? And I was like, that would be
2:01:42
really awesome. You can do that.
2:01:43
Thanks. It's him and his wife just had
2:01:45
to shop that he lives at. He doesn't live there, so that's
2:01:48
a that's a big thing is I was trying to meet him the first
2:01:51
trip too, but he was so busy just with like because he does a
2:01:55
lot of stuff. He does obviously the shop, he
2:01:59
judges drift events. He does like spotter stuff for
2:02:03
other drivers. Is it like a full functioning
2:02:05
shop, like work on other people's cars, or is it more
2:02:07
like a small thing that's like a full size shop, yeah.
2:02:10
Oh wow. Well, it's, it's not big, but
2:02:12
it's like a full on like this. And does he have employees?
2:02:16
I don't think. So, so it's just him working on
2:02:18
these cars. Pretty sure because it's I I was
2:02:20
talking to him and then in the middle of us talking he had to
2:02:23
go test drive a customer car. OK, so it's just him and his
2:02:26
wife. Would I be sick of it?
2:02:28
I'm done, right? Yeah.
2:02:30
Like we're hiring somebody else and telling you how I do things
2:02:33
so that maybe you could do it like me.
2:02:34
That's cool though. Imagine getting your car worked
2:02:36
on by Kaguchi. Yeah, like what?
2:02:38
Yeah, I, I walk in and there's like three big fat cats and I
2:02:42
was like, I love this. And then his wife comes out with
2:02:46
tea like, oh, how, how are you? You know all the.
2:02:49
Yeah, you. Know that's cool.
2:02:51
What did you guys talk about? Onichiwa.
2:02:55
A little bit of everything I was asking him about like setup
2:02:59
stuff, not specifically like how do I set up my car for it to
2:03:05
drive. Give me the secrets.
2:03:06
Give me a pair of wheels. Just like so, he has had R34
2:03:12
Brembos on his car which? I.
2:03:14
Fucking love. So I was like, hey, how'd you do
2:03:18
that? And I was like, Oh yeah, this,
2:03:20
this and this. I'm like sick.
2:03:21
So then when I got back immediately I bought R34.
2:03:24
Bremos. Yeah.
2:03:24
He's like telling me all this shit.
2:03:25
He's going to put these brakes. I was like God, like you need
2:03:27
that. Bolt onto the same knuckle, so
2:03:29
the same casting. I mean the.
2:03:30
Front the hole on the caliper is like a 14 but the knuckle is a
2:03:36
12. So you can either drill out the
2:03:37
knuckle or put like a helicoil in the caliper.
2:03:40
The rear is bolt on but you have to do like the E brake assembly
2:03:45
because it's a shoe. So I do like I bought Z32 stuff.
2:03:50
I think it should work. Yeah, it seems like it would.
2:03:52
But the safe thing would just be to do R34, but that's.
2:03:58
Crazy. I would just. 300ZX call.
2:04:00
I have 300ZX call. I have that on the front it's
2:04:03
fine but like it doesn't look. As save yourself.
2:04:05
Yeah, it probably doesn't look as well.
2:04:07
I don't know, it depends I guess.
2:04:09
You have to keep in mind everything I do is for looks,
2:04:12
not for functions. Which I'm fine with, I get it,
2:04:15
you're right. Valid.
2:04:16
Valid. I'm taking a look at these
2:04:19
questions right now. They're a holy shit.
2:04:22
There's a lot. Yeah.
2:04:24
Now when I when I go through these I always like to see is it
2:04:26
the same person asking. I like, I like when Malcolm
2:04:29
that's not. I like when Malcolm asks them
2:04:31
because it involves Malcolm a little.
2:04:32
Bit Well here's the problem with Malcolm.
2:04:34
He won't cut me off, so he just sits there and we keep talking.
2:04:37
So I mean, he if he wants to read 1, he can, but got it.
2:04:41
Yeah, see, he doesn't want it. Yeah.
2:04:46
There's one person that asked a lot of questions.
2:04:47
Thoughts on LS swaps and why do you think it's the best motor to
2:04:50
put in an S chassis? Who asked that?
2:04:54
Don't worry about it. Alright, let's record it.
2:04:56
Turn 14 Chase. Oh, shout out, Chase old.
2:05:01
Co worker. Old Co worker, one of my first
2:05:03
friends there at turn. Yeah not he already knows.
2:05:07
He already knows what the deal. Is, so you're not really into
2:05:09
that. I'm not really into that.
2:05:10
OK, I like cool stuff. Weirdest business slash thing
2:05:15
you saw in Japan? That's AI, fuck with that.
2:05:18
That's a good. Question because I don't really
2:05:20
think about that. There was in Akihabara there's
2:05:26
like a multi story building that's just like a sex shop
2:05:30
basically. I didn't go in there but.
2:05:33
That was right, yeah, OK. Yeah, you didn't go in there,
2:05:36
right? Cool.
2:05:36
Yeah, they only. Had three floors.
2:05:38
I'm a wholesome young boy using. Yelling boy to describe
2:05:42
yourself. It's funny because we were
2:05:43
talking about this shit. We were talking about this shit
2:05:46
earlier, how weird Japan is with that stuff.
2:05:48
But I guess you experienced a little bit of that.
2:05:51
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't put myself in
2:05:54
situations that were like exceptionally weird.
2:05:57
I got approached by a Colt and I did it so that they came up
2:06:03
speaking Japanese and the obvious thing to do would just
2:06:08
be like, oh, I don't speak Japanese.
2:06:09
And then they spoke and walk away.
2:06:11
No, I was like, I'm going to flex on these Japanese people.
2:06:15
I can speak Japanese. So I got in like this was after
2:06:17
I came back from Nikata because I visited them again.
2:06:23
So like 2 1/2 hour train ride back.
2:06:25
Hadn't eaten like anything all day.
2:06:28
I'm just trying to get the McDonald's and I got lost in the
2:06:30
train station and I'm trying to find where I am and I'm outside
2:06:33
of the train station. I'm literally looking at the
2:06:35
McDonald's. I just have to cross the street
2:06:38
and then this person like taps me on the shoulder and starts
2:06:40
talking to me about this shit. What were they saying?
2:06:43
I don't remember at all. You could come with us to this
2:06:46
island. But you knew it was a cult.
2:06:48
Yeah, just because I got those vibes.
2:06:50
What the fuck? What goes this to Jehovah's
2:06:52
Witness? It could have been, I don't know
2:06:54
it. Could have been.
2:06:55
JDM version, Yeah, that's creepy.
2:06:57
JDM, Jehovah's Witness. Josh Mark 7 says going to Japan
2:07:02
in February. Any recommendations on places to
2:07:04
visit? Car or non car related
2:07:08
apparently. That's a tough honestly, it's
2:07:13
all down to like what your preference is, right?
2:07:15
So like, I'm not going to tell you to go check out like, oh, go
2:07:20
to studio because that's a BMW shop.
2:07:23
Yeah, I'm good on that. Yeah, but like or like, I won't
2:07:26
even necessarily tell you to check out Spoon, which is like
2:07:29
Honda stuff. Well, he's got Mark 7 in his
2:07:30
name, so maybe he liked the BMW shop.
2:07:32
No, he's that's. AI know it's Volkswagen.
2:07:34
It's still German. But he has a one kind of car.
2:07:38
Oh, that's weird. Yeah.
2:07:40
All right. Well.
2:07:41
Yeah, honestly, like just whatever you think is cool, just
2:07:46
message me. Just message me and.
2:07:47
I'll just send the DM, you know where to find them.
2:07:51
A lot of people in here saying paint your car.
2:07:53
Yep, I'm going to ignore those. On that.
2:07:56
And one person said, what's the top food in Japan?
2:07:58
I'm not going to embarrass Japan and ask you that question new.
2:08:01
York style pizza katsu. Chick-fil-A addiction.
2:08:06
Yep. You do have with that problem.
2:08:08
I saw and confirmed with the points on the app it might be an
2:08:12
addiction. Yeah, Carl, when will you reveal
2:08:16
a new body kit for the IS? I would.
2:08:18
Do that I had telling you we I think I should make it out of
2:08:22
that other thing. Carl is still in the thought
2:08:25
process right now with his car, so we don't know.
2:08:30
Yeah, we're going to figure something out, but I am going to
2:08:32
do something about it before next season, that's for fucking
2:08:34
sure. Guys, it'll happen when it
2:08:36
happens. Yeah, no.
2:08:37
Well, I'm quicker than that. I'm going to have it done.
2:08:40
It's just like I drive it now and like it does not have the
2:08:45
same. I get out of the car and it
2:08:46
looks really bad and I'm like this looks bad.
2:08:50
Beastie boy E46 asks Malcolm. Where the fuck is my hoodie?
2:08:56
We didn't get them yet. We.
2:08:57
Didn't get them yet, guys. We're we're waiting on them.
2:08:59
A little back order, but they're coming soon.
2:09:02
We're pushing them. No worry.
2:09:03
Sorry Beastie, He didn't say fuck.
2:09:06
I added that for dramatic effect.
2:09:09
I was going to say beast name. Favorite J pop artists?
2:09:14
Any absolute bangers you can recommend?
2:09:17
Favorite J pop? I really like Capsule so it's a
2:09:21
duo. The producer's name is Yasutaka
2:09:24
Nakata. And I don't.
2:09:26
Know what the singer's name is? But it's like very electronic,
2:09:31
OK? It's not like you're normal
2:09:33
like. You like hair shit, right?
2:09:35
I could see you getting down with that.
2:09:37
A Japanese R and BI seen a reel an Instagram reel of it the
2:09:40
other day and that shit pretty that that shit bombs.
2:09:44
Yep. Yeah.
2:09:45
Good. I know Chris does.
2:09:47
Chris does that, enjoys that. Describe in detail how your low
2:09:51
car handled the E Town track surface.
2:09:53
We didn't really cover that. So I guess just real quick.
2:09:56
Yeah, I mean. Did you go off at all?
2:10:00
No, that's why. Yep, there you go, the arrow.
2:10:04
He knew. He knew the.
2:10:06
Arrow looks to be fully intact. Yeah.
2:10:09
I mean, what I'll say is like it didn't really nothing felt like
2:10:14
out of whack. Like I definitely heard some
2:10:16
like smacking noises when I was getting around spots where it
2:10:20
was a little rougher, but like just suck it up.
2:10:23
I don't know, Cole texted me. He was like, I had a blast.
2:10:26
I don't know what you all talking about.
2:10:27
My car seems fine. No.
2:10:29
Pretty much is what you said pretty much.
2:10:30
On the front, the only time that car is going to hit the ground
2:10:34
really hard is if you're doing front track and in that middle
2:10:38
section cuz there's this like boom boom boom like that part
2:10:42
scares. You.
2:10:42
I love that, but I. Love it too because it's like if
2:10:45
you're just like floored the car just kind of just like.
2:10:48
It just sets perfect and then you.
2:10:50
Go back the other way and then if you go off right there,
2:10:52
you're gonna lose a wheel. Yeah, I board slid there before.
2:10:56
There's a video where my wheel was like almost in there because
2:10:59
I transitioned late. I don't even know why but like
2:11:02
it almost went in there. I would have lost everything.
2:11:05
Have you decided to raise your car yet?
2:11:07
No, that reminds me, I have to tell you this story of I lowered
2:11:13
the front a little bit more, I got 326 power springs for it or
2:11:16
sorry the fuck Mitsu to the power.
2:11:18
It's actually, it's not 326 power, it's actually you.
2:11:20
Change the springs in the front of your car.
2:11:22
Yeah, they're it's the same spring rate, it's just like 40mm
2:11:25
shorter. You had to go lower.
2:11:27
Yeah, I would have raised it a little, a little bit you.
2:11:30
Had to go lower. We lowered it and I have they're
2:11:34
technically. Aligned the car, Cole.
2:11:36
It's fine. Yeah, honestly, it was fine.
2:11:38
So here's the thing. Here's the thing.
2:11:40
I have DG5 coil. Well, they're GP sports
2:11:43
coilovers, but they're basically DG5, which is made for like D1,
2:11:48
like newer D1 stuff. So they're really like thick.
2:11:50
The shock is fucking huge. That's fire, which is awesome,
2:11:56
but it's not meant to go low. But I said I don't really care.
2:12:01
So it was fine before, like at the right height that I had it
2:12:04
when I brought it here, but then I was like, Nah, I need it a
2:12:08
little tiny bit lower in the front.
2:12:10
So we did and it looks way better.
2:12:12
But the thing that I noticed when I was driving back home was
2:12:16
it was binding up like as I would return to center.
2:12:19
It's like, that's weird. I was asking my friend who was
2:12:21
helping me do it shout out Tom. He was like, oh, it's probably
2:12:25
just your toes off because we lowered it.
2:12:27
I was like, Oh yeah, that sounds like it could make sense.
2:12:30
And then the next day I went back, we toe plated it and it's
2:12:35
like perfect, still perfect from when you guys.
2:12:38
Wind it and. I'm like, oh that's good but
2:12:41
also bad because now I don't know what it this is.
2:12:44
So we checked and it was actually the shock was
2:12:48
contacting the sway bar end links.
2:12:51
I texted you that night. I was like, hey, this is what
2:12:54
happened and you said raise the car.
2:12:58
Me and Tom said no. So what we did instead was we
2:13:02
took the sway bar end links off and we smashed the shit out of
2:13:05
them and then flipped them so they're on the inside.
2:13:08
Of the I was about to say like switch it around was my next
2:13:11
thing. That's cool.
2:13:12
And like drives the same drives fine drifted on it so.
2:13:16
That's cool, that worked out. Lower your cars, guy.
2:13:19
All right, fair enough. I'm not going to argue with you.
2:13:22
Lower your cars. Do crocodiles celebrate
2:13:27
birthdays? That's the real questions.
2:13:29
We're here for tonight. You fuck with crocodiles or
2:13:32
something? No, but like I, I think he's
2:13:34
asking everyone OK, I feel. Like, you're going to go with
2:13:38
no, no, yeah. I feel like animals, they just,
2:13:40
they just live, you know, like a crocodile is just looking for
2:13:44
the next thing to crack and like.
2:13:46
Attack like murder? Yeah.
2:13:48
Yeah, to to survive, because that's like their life.
2:13:50
Like they're just living. I think they're going to have a
2:13:53
a a birthday brunch. I heard that crocodiles don't
2:13:57
die, they get killed. They don't die ever of old age.
2:14:03
Look up oldest crocodile. Watch this shit.
2:14:07
Cool. That's actually interesting, I'm
2:14:11
curious. Damn Jesus.
2:14:14
That bitch old. Henry.
2:14:15
Henry is 123 years old. I think there's older crocodiles
2:14:19
than that, but. If a crocodile did celebrate its
2:14:24
birthday, what do you think it would have for dinner?
2:14:26
Chicken. I'm going to say a Florida man
2:14:29
on bath salts. Yeah.
2:14:32
I'm going to say a little kid from Disney World.
2:14:34
I was going to say somebody who fell into the tank at the zoo.
2:14:37
Yeah, that is. All right, why are TE 30 sevens
2:14:45
just RPF ones with the spokes filled in?
2:14:50
That's bad. Funny, actually.
2:14:51
That's good. RPF one is still always a good
2:14:56
wheel to me. A lot of a lot of people sat
2:14:58
telling you to paint your car. We're working on it.
2:15:02
I got to get the Kuguchi power hood on 1st.
2:15:04
I know where you could get one of those.
2:15:06
I know you. Know you have one?
2:15:08
Yeah, I have one. I know where there's a silver
2:15:09
one just sitting. Here's a good question.
2:15:12
How did Kohl's trips to Japan influences build?
2:15:15
Did you learn anything or because you knew a lot before
2:15:19
you? Went you fucking would say?
2:15:22
I would say the the trips came about because of my style I
2:15:27
guess, but I definitely like learned some stuff.
2:15:29
I mean, you mentioned the brakes.
2:15:31
Yeah, I learned. So I was showing you this when I
2:15:35
dropped the car off when you were going to maybe pull my
2:15:38
fenders and then you didn't. Yeah, but what do you want me
2:15:41
to? Kind of trust anybody.
2:15:43
Else bring it back. We'll we'll fuck your car up.
2:15:48
But Ito had this very like specific pole to his fenders
2:15:52
that was very different. Yeah, here's the problem, Cole.
2:15:53
He's like, no, I don't care, I don't care.
2:15:55
And then like, right when we're going to do it, he's going to
2:15:57
whip out all these fucking pictures and he's going to be
2:15:59
like, now it has to look exactly like this and I'm going to be
2:16:02
like Cole, I can't. Well, to be fair that we were
2:16:04
already doing that because we were looking at Damon's car.
2:16:06
Yeah, true, but. You got a little.
2:16:09
Hammer set anyway. Anyway, God, don't let Carl do.
2:16:12
It I'm fucking in. You got a baseball bat?
2:16:14
No, give me, give me a hammer. Like a, like a flat one, like
2:16:20
the body hand. Yeah, body, hand and one of
2:16:22
those like metal cubes. There you go.
2:16:24
And then that's. What they do?
2:16:26
Maybe some wood? So wait, that was one of the
2:16:28
things. If you look at like Ito's car,
2:16:31
his pole is so discreet in the rear that in most pictures it
2:16:34
doesn't even look like it's pulled.
2:16:36
Whereas if you look at like Itai's car or like Kaguchi's
2:16:39
car, they have a very obvious like arch built into it.
2:16:43
So Ito what he did was he basically he cut the quarter
2:16:48
panel and then like smacked the inners out and then re welded
2:16:54
and then bonded over it. He.
2:16:55
Literally sliced it, pulled it, re welded it and made it look
2:16:59
factory. Yeah when he could have just
2:17:01
pulled that shit. I was like Cole, no offense.
2:17:05
Fuck that. Yeah, I wasn't going to expect
2:17:08
you to do that. Yeah, it's just insane because
2:17:10
when you look at the car, it does not look crazy.
2:17:12
I mean, Cole obviously noticed it.
2:17:14
I don't know how. Block sanding.
2:17:17
I was just I was just like that is great.
2:17:18
But he asked him and he told him that like face to face.
2:17:21
So I was. Like, and then and then I was
2:17:23
like, oh, that sounds scary. I don't know if I trust anybody
2:17:25
to do that. And then he was like, oh, just
2:17:27
bring your car here and I'll do that.
2:17:28
Yeah. It's like, oh, thanks.
2:17:29
Yeah, just bring it here. Carry on.
2:17:32
When will you raise your car? Funny.
2:17:35
What's your favorite? Oh, Archive 180.
2:17:38
Always the best questions. Yeah, shout out, guy.
2:17:42
Favorite 180 or 240 in the United States.
2:17:47
That's a good one. Yeah, it is.
2:17:51
No. Frankie's is really.
2:17:53
Good when it's together, maybe. I really like Josh's car just
2:18:00
because he will always whenever he does like a new look.
2:18:04
Yeah. It's always like really good and
2:18:07
it's always original and like. Isn't it sorry to kick you off?
2:18:10
Isn't it crazy how Johnny said the same thing?
2:18:13
Johnny and you have pretty similar tastes in One 80s.
2:18:17
I could just tell you my favorite 180 right now, and it's
2:18:20
that orange one. But when we think about Josh's
2:18:23
car, it's been way different from what those cars look like
2:18:27
for a long time. But like, we always go to Josh.
2:18:32
I don't know what it is, something he just nails it like.
2:18:35
Yeah, and even when he was doing like big Chrome, like 1819 shit,
2:18:39
it's more like like 2004 Osaka style or whatever, even that he
2:18:46
was doing it to such a high degree that it like looked.
2:18:50
Such a cool man. Yeah, he's you can't.
2:18:52
Learn to be cool. You can't learn to be cool.
2:18:55
He's just cool. And it's like every time I every
2:18:58
time I know he changed his car oven, I'm going to see it like
2:19:00
at a final bout and I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I'm going to
2:19:02
hate this shit. And then I see it and I'm like,
2:19:04
God damn it, he did it again. Teddy Thomas.
2:19:09
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
2:19:11
Yeah. I agree with that and that.
2:19:13
Both cars, the black and the. What about D Palm's car with the
2:19:16
fucking G with that new kit, That AGP sports kit?
2:19:19
I haven't seen the the new setup but I'm sure it's good.
2:19:23
I mean he every time he changes that car up, it's usually.
2:19:25
Good that car with the with the BN like back when.
2:19:28
It happened like that, Silver. Yeah, that was another one of
2:19:31
like the original cars that I saw.
2:19:33
OK, yeah, that makes Carson's. Yeah, fuck.
2:19:36
I don't know who that is. I the other I just remember he
2:19:39
posted a picture of a bunch of SATA jets.
2:19:42
There's a paint gun. Yeah, like a lot of them.
2:19:44
He's like, and I just replied got SATA.
2:19:47
I don't even know who that is. I probably fucking seem like an
2:19:49
idiot. Could.
2:19:50
You name another two or three S chassis S thirteens.
2:19:55
They can be 180 or Sylvia, top five of all time, of all time.
2:20:00
Let's say America to make this easy.
2:20:02
I feel like Japan would be there.
2:20:04
I know, but you're going to be here for five days if you S
2:20:09
thirteens. Yeah, it says S Thirteens.
2:20:11
I can't do like ordered like this one's the best this.
2:20:14
One's the. Best.
2:20:15
But So what I got? What did I?
2:20:18
Say you already did. I mean, you did, Josh.
2:20:20
You did. Yours.
2:20:25
Yeah, I guess you can count that, but this is like top five
2:20:27
ever. Damon's Damon.
2:20:30
'S is definitely. Might have to count Damon's.
2:20:32
Yeah, yeah, Teddy's. I would say Teddy's black S13
2:20:36
was was one of the top ones. When I saw it.
2:20:40
It was. I can't really sit here and say
2:20:43
that I'm I fanboy over anybody else's S13.
2:20:46
I'm in that phase right now where I'm trying to be such a
2:20:48
rebel and be like, I am going to make my own that I like.
2:20:52
Yeah. So I can't be like, I like that
2:20:54
one. I could definitely admit to what
2:20:55
I like. I like it, but like.
2:20:58
I think we're probably, I think we're forgetting some right now
2:21:00
too. Oh yeah, for sure, there's a
2:21:02
ton. Of like boss town stuff like P
2:21:04
JS car yeah. Boston cars are.
2:21:05
Really good. I miss PJ.
2:21:07
Honestly, Shane's car from Boss Town was probably one of my
2:21:10
favorite cars for a long time, if not still top five.
2:21:15
Bringing their car over. Is this a secret?
2:21:18
I don't know, but then maybe we should kind of Japanese person.
2:21:20
Oh, OK. Do you know Cody?
2:21:23
The road is hot. I don't know.
2:21:25
He's got the black, he's from New Zealand.
2:21:26
He's got the black Rd. Maybe I do if I saw the car.
2:21:30
He moved here for work, I think, so he lives in New York now.
2:21:34
Oh, wait, I met him. Yeah, yeah.
2:21:36
Didn't we meet him at 5:00, talk him shaking and he said yes?
2:21:39
So yeah, he's allegedly. Maybe I didn't realize who the
2:21:43
fuck that was when I was talking to him or something.
2:21:44
I think I met him that final bout.
2:21:46
I think he did because we were talking about it.
2:21:48
That's crazy. Allegedly, he's bringing his.
2:21:50
Car yeah, he told me he was fucking I'm like dude, we're
2:21:52
right over here just come by so that would be cool but.
2:21:59
Not technically America yet. He's from new.
2:22:01
Zealand, I got 1 here that's in Japanese and it says 4 Cole so
2:22:06

2:22:07

Shout out Tyler, it says big Chungus.
2:22:19
What the fuck? That's Tyler Holzman.
2:22:21

So we're ready to go. Pretty much we're we got people
2:22:27
out here saying they want to eat so.
2:22:28
Shout out Cole for driving all the way over here in 180 in in
2:22:31

2:23:05
Well, thanks for listening. Thank you guys for listening,
2:23:08

2:23:17
Yeah, well, we also talked about IS true.
2:23:19

2:23:31
Bye. Let's go.
2:23:42
All right, that was Colt Manon. Cole Manon.
2:23:46
I think his car has the potential to be an iconic US
2:23:51
car. I'm.
2:23:51
Glad you brought that up because you said that the other day to
2:23:54
me and I was like, I'm going to say that and then I forgot.
2:23:57
So that is some crazy shit to say so.
2:23:59
If he executes it to the way he like he says he is, I think it's
2:24:03
going to be a memorable or maybe.
2:24:06
Iconic. No, you said it was going to be
2:24:08
an iconic drift car from America.
2:24:11
That's what you said. I said iconic 180.
2:24:14
Yeah, you literally didn't say anything I just said, but it was
2:24:16
it sounded similar to it. Yeah, yeah.
2:24:19
But I I think it has a potential dude.
2:24:21
Yeah, me too. He's.
2:24:22
Getting inspiration from all these other, you know, iconic US
2:24:26
cars. And he's studying the height
2:24:28
down to the. Down to the cunt hair.
2:24:32
Down to the millimeter, yeah, yeah.
2:24:35
The micrometer. Yeah, literally.
2:24:37
The nanometer. OK, Yeah.
2:24:41
But yeah, Cole is definitely a cool guy.
2:24:43
He's very knowledgeable in Japanese car culture, 180
2:24:47
culture. He.
2:24:48
Speaks Japanese. Yeah, he's trying to be fluent
2:24:53
in it. He could definitely get around
2:24:54
in Japan. So he's.
2:24:56
Yeah, he seems like he can't wait to go back.
2:24:57
So learning he wants to make it a yearly annual thing.
2:25:01
Yeah, man. So let us let us know if you
2:25:03
enjoyed that one guys. Cole's a local around here and
2:25:07
he drifts a club loose, so make sure you give him a follow on
2:25:10
Instagram. What is his Instagram?
2:25:12
We should probably know that it's just.
2:25:13
Cole Manon, Yeah, under score or something.
2:25:16
Have you just searched? Cole, Manon, COLEMANNON.
2:25:20
Yeah, check him out on Instagram, give him a follow and
2:25:22
let him know if you enjoyed the podcast.
2:25:24
I know we got a bunch of comments on YouTube already and
2:25:26
it seemed great. I mean, to be honest, that was a
2:25:29
podcast that seemed like we talked about drifting a lot
2:25:32
more. Yeah.
2:25:32
So that's good. Yeah.
2:25:34
I mean, Cole's very passionate about.
2:25:36
He's not even passionate about drifting.
2:25:39
He's passionate about the culture.
2:25:41
Yeah. And the upbringing and the peak
2:25:43
of it, The. Thing is, he definitely does
2:25:45
care about drifting though, yeah.
2:25:46
Yeah, but I feel like he cares more about the culture.
2:25:49
He cares more about how the car looks and everything.
2:25:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Guys.
2:25:54
We just, we just got finished with Black Friday.
2:25:57

can pre-order the stuff now. Still get that deal?
2:27:05
Still get that deal? Just got to wait a few months.

now for one shipment, or you'll be waiting about four to six for
2:27:15
the other one is what we're telling people.
2:27:17
So, but yeah, get those orders in.
2:27:19
I'll be checking my e-mail probably all night to make sure
2:27:22

2:27:26
any questions or anything like that.
2:27:28
And yeah, we'll be closing the sale doors at midnight and

2:27:57
do. But you only got a couple more
2:27:58
hours after this comes out, so. Yes, As for the shop and
2:28:03
business here, business has been good, have been getting a lot of
2:28:05
cars in. We are beginning to dial in on
2:28:08
our new business venture. The vapor honing machine is up
2:28:12
and running. We've had Louis here, a good
2:28:15
friend of ours, he's just testing it out for us to clean
2:28:19
some parts, really getting, you know accustomed to the whole
2:28:22
process. So it is up and running.
2:28:24
If you have anything that you like vapor hone, hit us up.
2:28:26
We're working on getting a form on the website so you can just
2:28:30
send in some send in a request form to for pricing and such.
2:28:34
Yeah. And we're going to be doing
2:28:36
zincoding too, but we are in the process of setting all that up
2:28:39
and testing some stuff before we want to offer it to the public.
2:28:42
So. But yeah, that's cool.
2:28:44
So we're going to be able to clean stuff in house and make
2:28:47
these engines look new instead of just buying all new parts for
2:28:50
them. Yeah.
2:28:51
So yeah, should be cool. What else is going on?
2:28:57
Not much else for the rest of the year.
2:28:58
We're just trying to get through this December and then start
2:29:01
fresh in January. Hopefully we'll have a waiting
2:29:03
area completed by then. The bathroom is basically done.
2:29:06
And yeah, shops looking good. Sucks that we weren't able to do
2:29:11
an open house this year, but that's what next spring is going
2:29:13
to be for. So yes, and thank everyone for
2:29:17
the orders, the merch orders, everything.
2:29:20
Oh, that's something we can talk about and give an update on.
2:29:21
The hoodies and the long sleeve shirts have been delayed a
2:29:24
little bit. So we're we're looking at maybe
2:29:25
another week or two at most. We are desperately trying to
2:29:29
make sure everything gets shipped out by Christmas so
2:29:31
everyone can get their stuff. And that's pretty much that.
2:29:34
So thanks for listening. Check out our sponsors and make
2:29:38

2:29:41
Thank you, goodbye and good night later.
