I never knew the amount of work needed to get a car drift spec!

I happen to work with one of the headsheds of the BDC who runs a 460bhp 2JZ twin turbo powered white Lexus is200, that's a pretty special machine, now I have some understanding of what's entailed! Crazyness! :dummy:

TBH there are only a few hand fulls of competition drift cars built to such an extent in the UK, most started as modded road cars turned drift, my old one was but ended up a 500hp 2ltr out right track beast! Was just never built from scratch like this.

 

I know the car, Matt ownes it, TDI used to map it, now a guy called Dave maps it, hes in the army??

Matt clawley, yeah. He sometimes brings it into the hangars to work on it so I've seen it in he flesh. He also done a few donuts outside before getting bollocked by a tanky sergeant :lol:

He keeps encouraging to drift my Z, justifying it by saying he "needs a new project" lol.

Trouble with that is, I love my Z too much & I don't have the moolah to support such a project :(

I built mine over a year a go now but took a lot longer to do it, would love to have strengthened the chassis etc

 

Good luck and if you have any questions let me know.
