Main Street Drifting

So after spending a day with the IMV boys in and around Gainesville its no wonder why the new video is taking so long to come out with. The cop count for the day was 3 but no tickets or arrests just a lot of harassment. After busting some sick Supra drifting on Main street we get a great visit from the cops, after that we left and did some STI and Yamaha R1 racing down I75 and some other back roads, and then follow that with the embarrassment to Team Accord and subsequent memorialization of the moment there is plenty of great footage for Sav to work with and some great stories to be told.... The hardest part will certainly be editing it all to fit in one video... Can you say box set!

Ariel Atom 3

Anyone who has ever asked me what my dream car is has always gotten the same response... The Ariel Atom... yes I know the car is manufactured in the UK but who could deny having a street legal track car powered by a Honda K20 engine that can go 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds... Anyways for those who weren't aware... yes this is my dream car i will have a mid life crisis with this car and i promise you will want to be around for it because you will definitely want to ride.

Drift Car with a Feminine Touch

This car looks beautiful and no wonder it is an s14 build by Ace Up Motor Sports for a girl who obviously has great taste. The zebra print and heart shaped venting are a nice touch just in case anyone doubted it was female owned.







Drift, Drift, and More Drift

There are so many great drift videos out there here are some of the highlights i found for today

HR Del Sol

So hybrid racing has a del sol project car and the engine bay is so hot, k swap and enough graffiti to really put this car on a whole nother level. ITBs, a wire tuck and even a well put together stripped interior show great attention to detail.

check out the build

240sx Drift

It is rare to see a 240 anymore that hasnt been beaten up or torn to shit but here is a drift ready 240sx that is by far one of the cleanest I have seen... who knew a drift car could look so close to a show pony. The engine bay is nice clean and chromed out, the rims and tires look almost new, there are no visible dings or dents to speak of and the interior is a full interior that was cleanly executed.

6666 Customs Odyssey

This Honda Odyssey is about as luxury and JDM as you can get. This ride is slammed with a new set of shoes, some cosmetics by way of grill, bumper, and lights. On the inside we see some Right Hand Drive action with enough TVs to keep all the little ones happy on their way to soccer practice.
