Just so we are clear; He did not make his car look damaged like that on purpose. He will most likely not enter public roads with the vehicle in that condition. It is also more than likely he will fix all of the damage to this vehicle before it returns to the track/roads. Keep these things in mind next time you see a hella jdm drift missile at ebisu thinking it's the next trend. It's not. |

And you know why? Because the point of drifting is to have fun, and if you're car still drives relatively straight then it looking like shit on the outside doesn't matter at all.. These guys don't repaint there shit when it gets smashed off, these guys don't care that their car even has the headlights torn off and a hole in the cooler, they care about having fun, and you can still have fun in a car that looks like a pile of shit.. The look on that guys face says it all.. |

And no one said you can't have fun in a shitbox, but you shouldn't take pride in it looking like that. Again, I didn't say getting a few door dings and ripping your aero off while drifting is wrong. My original point was that ratchet kids use pictures like that as inspiration for their street cars/daily drivers and use your same mind state as an excuse. The ten minute commute to the local Hobby Lobby facebook meet isn't Ebisu during matsuri. |

Some comments on the Tuerck fitment.. According to these two comments, most people in New Zealand are doing it wrong, (for thinking this is "boss dog shit") and the rest of them are just forced to do it wrong by the law and those who enforce it. Sad times. edit; it's likely that both the suspension set up and wheel offset are custom/one off. |

Isn't this car basically a copy of his FD car? If so I would wager it's running Wisefab suspension, but even his FD car has better fitment than that nonsense.

I just checked out the Youtube video of this car. Wisefab suspension kit and BC coilovers with "a few adjustments and mods" from dominant engineering. |

"This Nissan C33 laurel despite its looks it actually powered by a Tomei SR20DET crate engine. What a crate engine? Its basically a top of the line engine tuned and hand made by Tomei Japan. He drives the cars until they fall apart then pulls the engine and transmission and simply swaps it over to a new shell, only in Japan." no need to thank me for that large serving of humble pie http://vimeo.com/24364194
