this is why people think it's ok for their cars to look like shit.

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.

He will DEFINITELY NOT fix that up before the next time he drives it at the race track.. That is how the missiles end up at ebisu during matsuri, then if they aren't too trashed they are sold back to power vehicles or if they are proper gone they are squashed. They literally drive the car into the ground there..

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..

So you're saying after that drift day, the vehicle is either sold or scrapped? So it never sees the street in that same condition again, like I said..
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.

Ahem..

^Besides the sh8tty ride, Ben drove through those twisty roads like a baby back B*TCH. I would have at least kicked the sh8t out of that clutch.

[Dirk Jan]

Seems to have a pretty decent CA though, probably just a WIP.

They don't see the street in the first place.. Which is what i'v said before.. Heaps of the cars in this thread are quite clearly track only cars that are held together with zipties are or have mismatched panels or whatever. I'v said countless times in this thread that ratchet cars that are made to look terrible just because IS DOING IT WRONG. Having a beaten up shitty looking drift car ISNT doing it wrong because thats what happens when you race/track your car.. You spend the money on the important things so the car will make the next event..

^^^^ haha seen that on Driftworks the other day , its N/A , looks like shit , Is rusted to fuck and the guy wants like £3000 for it the dreamer.

[Almighty So]

100% stock aside from a new battery and a broken exhaust. only 175k!
"interior is 9/9. I know what I got and these cars are getting more rare to find. Firm at $6500"

Is it possible to be doing it wrong before you even start doing it?

Oh look, Tuerck just finished up his new street car...

[crzsteveo]

those wheels are so disgusting. god I just shit myself

[corkscrew]

Just saw that on instagram....awful

[xoxide]

SO much potential..... Those wheels though.

[240sxdriftin]

That frs just makes me mad and upset and disgusted... fd spec bruhhhhh

[Gar9854]

I'd like to see the suspension setup to have that much poke on wheels that aren't offered in a decent offset

[Almighty So]

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.

[Roscoe.]

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.

You'd be correct.
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.

[Banana_Cute]

Maybe its a trend now to have a shitty "track slut" car.

Truth. I'd smile too if I had a tomei crate SR in my missle. His engine cost more than all the s13/4 in this thread.

"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
