No CommentsEbisu Circuit + Drifting = Heaven!
Posted in: Drifting, Featured, Featured Video, General, Inspiration
Here’s some great footage of some AE86 guys having a blast on Ebisu Circuit’s north course. Makes me wanna hop on a plane and go over there ASAP! One cool thing about Japanese tracks that I like compared to over here stateside is that some of them are just open; pay a park fee and you can go in and practice as opposed to waiting for a scheduled event to get some track time.

No CommentsThis car is really an inspirational source for me. It should be relevant too, it’s a Nissan…Japan is in the Pacific…don’t you just love loopholes? Either way, this is an awesome machine. Definitely going to be what I build my coupe after…when I get my coupe that is…
I’ve always had a thing for cars that look intense while looking used to hell and back. The scars they hold tell a thousand stories, it always makes a car more interesting. While browsing on 7Tune.com I ran into this beat up Silvia S13. All build information courtesy of 7tune.com, additional images from NoriYaro.com.

His car is powered by an SR20DET with a Trust TD06 20G Turbo. He’s got an arsenal of rims he uses including, 6 R33 GT-R 17×9″ Rims with a +30 Offset. Also in his arsenal are 6 Work VsKF with different offsets. When he gets too fast, he uses slotted stock S13 Rotors/calipers and pads in the rear and R33 Skyline GTS25t breaks in the front. The body panels are from Vertex and topped with a D-Max roof and Trunk spoiler. All this is dropped on Tein HE Coilovers.

No CommentsNomuken Goes GTR?
Posted in: Articles, Drifting, Nissan, Skyline GT-R / GT-ST
It would appear there is a big possibility Nomuken has decided to switch from his Nissan ER34 to a newer GTR. There has been talk of him doing so quite a bit over the past few months, mainly due to Blitz’s release of their tuned GTR back in early 2009. The car features a manual gearbox, instead of the paddle-shifters and has been converted to RWD. It’s natural to convert cars to RWD, many drivers have done so (Team Orange’s Subaru Cars, Foust’s Scion etc) but this one just feels funny. This car is also bigger than the R34, so it will definitely be one of the biggest cars on the track if Nomuken follows through with this.We’ll know for sure in March when D1GP hits Ebisu Circuit.

2 CommentsZipties: Drifter’s Duct-tape
Posted in: Drifting
Just a cool little video I found on one of the forums I frequent. Would you go this far to keep your aero together? I think after this second puzzle piece, I’d say screw it and roll without one.

No CommentsPacific Raceway Drift Demo
Posted in: Drifting, Featured Video
Team Instant Party recently did a drift demo over at Pacific Raceway in Kent,WA. Since this is at the newly built go-kart area its a very tight and technical track. Even though there’s not a lot of speed involved, its usually lots of fun. It really reminds me of some of the D1GP courses in Japan.

No CommentsTeam Falken Tire: Judgement Day 2009
Posted in: Drifting
Hey all, it’s Darrick. I was doing a little browsing around Vimeo the other day since I haven’t been on there in awhile and I found this! There’s not really anything to say about it other than what the video artist says about it, take a look.
“Shot entirely with the new GoPro HD cameras, this is a highlight reel of the 2009 Formula Drift season finale at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California. Following Team Falken Tire’s drivers Tyler Mcquarrie, Daijiro Yoshihara and Darren McNamara and featuring music from Justice and John Murphy. This video explores what it’s like from the drivers point of view and even a bugs perspective on the side of the car at 90mph, inches away from the wall.” – Patrick Barrett

No CommentsAbbitt Wilkerson at Judgement Day – Formula Drift

Formula D Irwandale 2009 Rd 7 “Judgement Day” from Abbitt Wilkerson on Vimeo.
Abbitt Wilkerson, Yoshi Shindo, and Matt Galantoumini hit Irwindale CA for Formula Drift’s final round, Judgement Day. Althought I wasn’t able to make it, good friends from the northwest hit i5 and rocked L.A. Wilkerson cut together a short, in my opinion one of his best cuts. The season is already over for most, a few will be at ProAm Nationals. Get ready for the rainy season, it’s time for another year of the northwests finest builds. Watch out for 2010!

2 CommentsFinal Round @ Evergreen Drift
Posted in: 180SX / Silvia / 240SX, Drifting, Event Coverage, Featured Video, Skyline GT-R / GT-ST
In the last month or so I’ve lost contact with a few good individuals here in the northwest. Last week I featured Abbitt Wilkerson’s Round 3 video, and now I just found Justin’s Round 4. I have to give him props for making his way up from Oregon to shoot this video.
Justin Shreeve Films presents Evergreen Drift Round 4. The final round saw a lot of upsets as some drivers weren’t able to attend and others were plagued with car troubles. Overall, it was an exciting day, making for lots of good footage.

Everytime I see video of our local drivers in Pacific Northwest, I keep thinking why don’t we have these guys performing at a professional level? Our talent pool is a hidden pocket tucked away in the woods here in the northwest. Maybe it has to do with how many events we have, or our awesome back roads?
