That came up before. It's actually DIR. IIRC the guy lives in some 3rd world country and has done several cars like that. Time is Cheap, Materials are not. So the effort of building a one off from scratch GT86 clone is not that insane. Guy has mad skills. |

Thailand i guess it is a third world country but this s13 is drift car for the asian drift series being built by a shop that is no where near being poor and Thailand's aftermarket car scene is all about high HP builds I think this was fitted with a stroked 2j and a t88 I follow Aleksandr k he's an aussie drifter that lives in thailand and drifter for speedtek shop |

"You're doing it wrong" Pt. 2 - Because turrible ideas never die
Quote:
Per Google Thailand is very much a third world country despite being considerably more functional then what we typically imagine as third world. Before we get into it, I am aware of the large amount of wealth held by a few. I follow several air-cooled Porsche tuners and their owners on IG. As for the Aussie.... I bet his living there has more to do with chasing girls, paying off cops and getting more bang for his bankroll. |

it would've been cool if it was some poor guy that had a s13 and couldn't afford a FRS borrowed his friend's to emulate it
but for competitive use, just *buy a FRS god damn it I was like, well that red S13 doesn't look too bad with its front bumper cut outs, but looked at the rear wing and puked

My question is, did that thing really pass tech for FD Can? Remember all the drama over George's wing at FDLB back in 2012?
Easily the best promotion BCL could have asked for as they were really just starting to get themselves out in the public spotlight at the time. |

Considering how outdated and dumb 1st world/2nd world/3rd world is it's a poor measure of the assumed context of a build. The bar is not lowered simply because it's being built in Thailand.

That's why the system is harder to grade. Before WW2 even the wealthy lived in pre-industrial settings for these countries. Today you have wealthy elites with millions of dollars but there are still villages without electricity living in fear of crime and violence just few a hundred miles away. Look at China. Major costal cities offer wealth, safety, modern consciences and economic opportunities we've come to expect in any major US city. However central and western China still have pockets of people living in pre-industrial conditions and poverty. Brazil and India are other great examples of this. |

^Correct, and depending on your media sources you will not see said backyards but yet the backyards of assumed 3rd world countries.
Moral of the story, turning an s13 into a brzfrs86 is dumb as fuck even if you have a 1 millions dollars bill in your wallet Go fall on a scissor |

"You're doing it wrong" Pt. 2 - Because turrible ideas never die
Who's he? Please don't confuse "having access too" and "due to neglect and abuse don't have". DIW - comparing this: To this Clearly you've never been outside the US if you think our "poor" are suffering at the same level as the rest of the worlds "poor". |

The first time I saw a trailer park, I could not understand why people chose to vacation in such a bleak location. Later on I learned that they actually live in those things permanently. Yet those are the same people who look at me like some second class human and are the first to proudly tell me that they live in the greatest country in the world. It is hilarious. |
