Been really busy lately. Wednesday night drifting, Top Drift and some GoPro video action.

Top drift went pretty well. Qualified 1st at Horse thief but ended up only 4th. Need to be more consistent.

The big news today is GoPro put together a video using my car and their new 360° rig which works really well on your phone. Tyler McQuarrie was driving my car and Matt Powers is also in the video. Definitely a cool opportunity. Check it out!

Some photos from round 2 are coming out. Check out the coverage from AMDrift.com

It's pretty savage. LS1 powered. Qualified 16 out of 50~ drivers. Dude put up a fight in tandem too, I won but it wasn't a walk away.

Wish I could've seen it...

DJPimpFlex · 06-03-2015, 09:12 PM

With a 3 week break between events I thought it was a good time to work on some reliability.

I picked up this solid state battery disconnect. It's good up to 300amps and has no moving parts. I've had 3 battery disconnects give out so hopefully this is something that will improve reliability moving forward.

Also sent my twin plate off to be refreshed. The "power strap" seems to have let go so even with the clutch fully depressed it wouldn't disengage fully. Exedy is confidant they can fix it so hopefully it will be like new.

Also Super Street got a shot of my car at Top Drift. I'm so happy with the look of the car right now.

yeah, it looks better than titties.

Car so good. Please don't get bored and switch it up. If you get that itch get another car and do it, but this thing is so perfect as is.

Haha thanks! I don't anticipate changing it except for adding a livery. If I wreck it again I may do something different who knows though.

DJPimpFlex · 06-18-2015, 03:46 PM

I love it when a plan comes together..

Got all the stuff in on Saturday. Final piece (oil pressure sensor I broke) came in Wednesday. Plugged everything in and it fired right up. I took it out to the track and broke the clutch in a little then beat on the car all night without a single issue. Ready for this weekend!

Sorry in advance for the naked photos. (NSFW)

DJPimpFlex · 06-22-2015, 07:49 PM

I guess I can't be dissapointed with how top drift went...

Qualified 2nd, ended up 2nd overall. I needed to bring more tires. I didn't use a brand new set in the finals and kind of got left. Car was on point. Golden Gate Drift round 3 is next weekend. Gotta step it up.

Check out the FULL RECAP video!

DJPimpFlex · 06-24-2015, 10:21 PM

OH DAMN GIRL! I haven't seen that one. I have to step it up and beat Trent.

SR20PWRALTY · 06-24-2015, 11:18 PM

Nice Build! Is that a custom power brace or Nismo Power brace? I am also wondering where you got that CF Hood?

It's a Nismo. The hood is a VIS dmax rep.

DJPimpFlex · 07-03-2015, 05:25 PM

Picked up some new rear spares. I dig the look. Varrstoen MK2

DJPimpFlex · 07-03-2015, 11:10 PM

Here is a late but comprehensive video from Golden Gate Drift Rd.2 where I was punted into 4th place. Hoping to do better this weekend at rd. 3!

DJPimpFlex · 07-08-2015, 09:54 AM

Round 3 went well! Extended my points lead!

Thanks to dooglestudios for the pics!

I also dragged the wall a little bit and lost a wing end plate so I made some new ones with my laser cutter at work.

I'll be out at Sonoma tonight if anyone wants to come check it out! Starts at 4~, $10 for spectators.

DJPimpFlex · 08-15-2015, 07:32 PM

Check out this Matt Powers (featuring Matt Madrigali's car) video!

DJPimpFlex · 09-27-2015, 09:51 PM

Round 4 of Golden Gate Drift was last weekend and it went really well. Qualified 3rd and ended up 2nd overall. Extended my points lead going into the final round and I have 1 hand on that FormulaD Pro2 License. I can't wait for round 4!

nismoskyline · 09-29-2015, 04:36 PM

I just finished reading all 33 pages, good shit man. I'm really impressed with how far you've come, you've made a fan out of me

DJPimpFlex · 10-02-2015, 12:37 PM

WHEEL GAME STRONG! Super happy to announce my partnership with Cosmis Racing Wheels. Shit looks rad as fuck.

ka-titties · 10-02-2015, 02:15 PM

hell yeah. i'd love to get with them. i love my xt006r's

DJPimpFlex · 10-12-2015, 12:26 AM

The Formula D prep begins!

I'd like to officially welcome Sikky Manufacturing to the team! I can't wait to drop this quick change subframe set into the car. Reliability and adjustability!

taeisbeast · 10-12-2015, 12:36 AM

Thats awesome!

Great looking car.

drewr4411 · 10-12-2015, 11:59 AM

Just read through this entire thread. Awesome setup, great build thread. I look forward to your future updates.

Malik · 10-12-2015, 04:55 PM

very nice... good read

DJPimpFlex · 10-31-2015, 09:11 PM

Let's see... lots to talk about.

All Star Bash was crazy fun. Won team tandem for the second year running.

I also picked up some more upgrades. Thanks to Inca Madness Racing for the support!

GForce GSR with Andrews Internals and a full set of Wisefab front and rear. I had the opportunity to drive my friend Joe Tardiff's car which is basically the same as mine except wisefab and you see what happened. I can explain why it's better than the powered by max stuff I've been running, but I will hold my review until I can really drive in anger when I get it on my car. I'm keeping it the same for the final round of Golden Gate Drift just to be sure that I take home the championship.

taeisbeast · 10-31-2015, 09:24 PM

Hell yeah bro! Congratulations, bad ass car too..
