First Look at my New AE86!

The Quest for Speed: A Closer Look at the Car and its Rider

As we sat on the pit wall, watching the car take shape before our eyes, it was hard not to feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The car, a Nissan S15, was being fitted with new tires, a crucial component in the quest for speed. "Are they Reps less wide?" I asked, referring to the tire size. My companion nodded, "Yeah, yeah, are they the same width more white? Gotcha." It seemed that the debate about the ideal tire size had only just begun.

As we continued to chat, it became clear that this was not an ordinary car. The rider, Eric O'Sullivan, a former Formula D driver, had built this car from scratch years ago. Originally intended for use in Formula D competitions, it had been abandoned and left as a shell before being picked up and finished by O'Sullivan himself. Fast forward to the present, and O'Sullivan was now back at the same event where he first started competing, now driving against the very car that was originally built for him.

The car's design and engineering were evident in its sleek lines and aerodynamic profile. "It's not overkill in any shape or form," my companion said with a grin. Indeed, the combination of Toyota, Nissan, BMW, and Volvo parts made it a unique and formidable machine on the track. As we watched O'Sullivan take to the wheel, we couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at his skill and experience.

The track itself was a challenging one, with a winding course that demanded precision and control from even the most seasoned drivers. "It's like a simple car," my companion said with a chuckle. "But it's got some stuff on it because we're still digging in because we didn't build it." Indeed, the team had been working tirelessly to fine-tune every detail of the car, from the suspension to the brakes.

As we watched O'Sullivan drive, we noticed something peculiar - a muffler mounted on the Fender exit. "I love that," my companion exclaimed. "It's neat." Apparently, this was a feature that had been designed by Eric himself, and it added a touch of personality to the car's design. It also seemed to be working its magic, as O'Sullivan was able to extract impressive performance from the car.

The ride itself was a treat, with the rear radiator cleverly tucked away in a space that would have otherwise been wasted on many other cars. "We just call them Boaters," my companion said with a smile. "Because they have a boot, not much of a boost." It seemed that this unique aspect of the car's design had become an integral part of its identity.

As we continued to chat and watch O'Sullivan drive, it became clear that this was more than just a car - it was a story waiting to be told. From its humble beginnings as a Formula D project to its current life on the track, this car had a rich history that was only beginning to surface. We were excited to see what the future held for O'Sullivan and his trusty steed.

And so, with our cameras at the ready, we set off on our own adventure - to explore the winding roads and scenic landscapes of Ireland. The world tour was just around the corner, and Mondello Park was waiting in the wings. We couldn't wait to see what the weekend had in store for us. With full hearts and a sense of anticipation, we hit the road, ready to take on whatever adventures lay ahead.

The journey would be long, but the excitement was palpable. We were all a little jet-lagged from our travels, but as we settled into our seats and began our drive, it felt like we'd been here before. There was something special about this country, something that had captured our hearts and imaginations. As we sped along the winding roads, the Irish countryside unfolding before us, we knew that we were in for a treat.

And then, there were the signs - random messages scrawled across the side of the road, each one more bizarre than the last. "Mashed potatoes bro," one sign read, accompanied by a drawing of a trucker and a laughing face. We exchanged a bewildered glance, unsure what to make of these strange markings.

But as we continued on our journey, it became clear that this was just the beginning. The road ahead would be filled with twists and turns, each one leading us deeper into the heart of Ireland. We were ready for whatever lay ahead, our spirits high and our cameras at the ready. Bring on the adventure!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enforeign ERS mashed potatoes welcome to Ireland we landed about 30 minutes ago first stop was this little cafe and we got meat potatoes and mash balls I didn't sleep very much look come look at this they asked me in the rental place do I want a stick shift I said of course but they were in limited availability so it goes do you want a Ford Cuda and I'm like what I'm picturing like a barracuda which isn't a Ford no I don't think it is I think it's a Plymouth anyway this is what a Ford oh it's a cougar yes I thought it was cool yeah it's awful I love Ford but this things are better than this for sure you did you get a Nissan croissant and I got the phone we are uh we're heading over to drift games I got a new space that looks absolutely unbelievable uh they have a full video tour of it but I've intentionally not watched it because I want to see it in person for the first time made some poor financial decisions on the plane but you guys will find out about that in a few months is that a tweak or a wing I don't know what's familiar no no yeah look at that bro that trucker always laughing his ass off at you hey so this dude does not know what he's doing I don't know what to do it's mean hey is that officer Dad okay we're at the right spot hey what are you doing here I thought that was it I'm in the wrong goddamn side of the road he just was James is bad he almost got off by a few trucks brookies how do I how do you like my Ford Cougar it's old and attractive I knew that was a Ponder Big Four Guys hello how are you tired yes hello what's up how are you snap hello see him no he was stealth mode back there nice any driving with Adam and Colette man but get me out of the car would change this guy we're they're almost 14 accidents already about to happen man well number one was pretty bad yeah we found out there's a used car sale lot at uh drift games yes there is none of them are for sale what is this that's a Maserati all right Ken tell me okay tell me the engine block all right welcome so this is our new home but it's got like five or six different businesses so it's centered around Dean motors which is here so they sell like performance cars classic cars unique things so basically they've got a showroom here and a lot of extra cars outside as you've seen already um and that's their showroom that's their workshop so as you can see working on a random variety of things Subaru to Rolls Royce uh we are up here in our drift game studios you've got a place that does wheel refurbs over here got a detailer behind there and then there's a place that fixes motorbikes behind heels and Car Central loads of stuff yeah there is so much going on here if any of you guys are from the Connecticut area and you know I think it's called like maybe industrial Plains Road there's like one Road in Wallingford where everybody's shops are and it's like like probably like a quarter mile this is basically Wallingford in a parking lot yeah yeah that's sick yeah there's so much going on here and even we're still getting used to it because it's only open the last few weeks yeah so it's only really operational now and I still getting used to like the variety of what's around from like Alpena to AMG to 911. whatever who knows who knows I love the variety yeah yeah I think Adam's wallet does not love the variety well thankfully I made a poor decision on the plane so I can't make one here look at how small the wheels are those are sticky too yeah these are uh these are tens all of that there are three lugs it's crazy that full-size seats fit in here are they touching actually a bit of space between no I've seen these wheels probably like two dozen times I've never seen an actual car that looks pretty cool yeah itself is sick how are you what is something like this like typically go for here probably 15 16 000 Euro like a a really early good one is forty fifty thousand year on it wow yeah they um they're hard to get original ones they've all been touched like there's no no such thing as a completely unmolested one nowadays they were just cheap cars everyone just thought it's an old Mini Hot Wheels On Us put a cage on us um change the engine you could get the engine yeah I've never had one without a cage but like you don't want to crash it I understand every single one I've had has had a cage yet we've been running around it's good to have everybody here so we're in Simon Dean's uh classic and Prestige car show yeah this is something I don't think anyone in America has ever seen before so this is an mg Metro underneath which is the most boring cheapest car you could buy Ever rubbish some reason they said hey we're gonna go Group B rallying in the 80s and they put the engine in the back on a ridiculous wide body and this is a complete like replica of one that's road legal the rally car is not road legal but this guy built it specifically just so he could drive it on the road yeah this is like the most obnoxious front it's better I think it looks like a um it looks like a 99 spec FD win just like yeah just turned upside down yeah yeah this government knows even for the brand it made no sense because they were the most boring old man's brand groupie rally let's go so they built some of these things it's a two liter turbo in the back yeah some guy in Northern Ireland just said I want one of those but I want to put a plate drive it around to car shows that you just built it literally from the ground up with a lot of the original parts from the rally cars why kind of loud hit the diff and go have some fun foreign Studio I wanted to remind you that the fdrx7 giveaway is still live where every five dollars you spend on lzmfg or drift HQ is going to give you enter for a chance to win the merch is great we got other stuff on lzmfg and I also wanted to add in addition to everything on the drift HQ website if you're getting a custom quote or placing order with our amazing sales team that will still be eligible for giveaway entries so we've got a complicated build and you want help specking out some turbo engine stuff body parts whatever we got you covered it's an amazing car and you're sleeping if you don't have it it's legit pretty good this is a bit bit of a level up from the shed last year I wish we got the shot of the car coming up on the on the ground call it the ramp yeah that's so empty it's so epic to everyone until they're doing it 14 times in a row and it's really slow uh nope that is one of our friends Cars this looks so similar same yeah same same kit what does the car start off as well that's a 996. and this is a 997. so the reason people do it is because the 996 is the ugliest Porsche they change it to that so it looks better then sometimes it's about 997 anyway and changed it so like the fourth and fifth kit made I think and it's uh that's father and son so Craig who works with us that's his car that's his dad's car and his dad who owns the Porsche built on this wow he was the builder for this so our Builder was Car Guy our electrician Jimmy Oakes is driving his car at the weekend everybody who built it because obviously you can't just go to a normal person and say I want to build a town in a warehouse on the second floor it's really cool I almost feel like you go to someone that like builds theme parks right this is what do you know what this actually is from your Invitational because we did a whole Crazy Event and then Jess my wife and I went to Universal Studios for one day as a break in your Mustang and I was standing in the middle of the Fast and the Furious ride saying this is weird because it looks like it's a little town a little garage but it's not a garage I was like that's mad it must be cheap to build buildings inside because you don't need to do insulation you don't do anything thus creating also to be honest it rains Every Day in Ireland and we kind of said if we could make the outside inside and not have any rain like that ideal for the winter here so June 15th we decided to take lease and at that point we didn't even know we're doing this and then two weeks ago we finished it that's crazy have you have you discussed a cost on video is that something you share we had a budget we took a loan because we always do that's our favorite thing to do and a hundred thousand Euro cost and we got in at 101. wow so it's really close yeah I feel like for for what this place is like to build something somewhere in the states I think would be more than that much more I'll put this way a lot of mates rates involved with this yeah so basically the boys were so enthusiastic about actually building it that they just send more people there more stuff they're like no no we'll do that no no what if we did this yeah so they were pumped on it too the day we painted the whole place inside black was like that was the day I thought we ruined the place because it was the floors black the roof was black everything's black you just simply go black hole but then when we started putting stuff in it came together pretty good but in Dublin rents are so high that second floor is obviously useless for a garage for somebody trying to bring cars in every day and also we don't have the pillars like they have downstairs so it's much more space and because this was actually a meat processing plant where they used to literally grind meat here they actually had all these drains which were for blood originally which is a bit disgusting but it's really good for washing cars because you can wash your car inside and it all just blows outside yeah no way you can wash it everything happens do you have a hose we don't have it in here now but we can do it yeah so you can literally power hose the whole place and it just flows down everything's on a slant even even the finish of like the ceiling is like stupid of a detail as that is like yeah it looks so good yeah it's something like everything painted all the wiring you know it's not like there's like a bunch of Speckles or whatever like it's very smooth and it's not finished yet but a cool atmosphere will make a cool car 10 times better well we I think everyone is we had all these cars but they all looked rubbish because they were just crushed into a corner with boxes on the roof you know they're all kind of have their own space it also allows control where I have to sell a car to buy a car now to have a space that's my new yeah so we're like well we could squeeze a few more in but we've still got a lot to finish we we're building this carcade which is like a full arcade built into like 2000s units sick so it looks like an old arcade but it's all like just stop trying to take the federal course and all that stuff trying to do like an eight link so everyone can sit down and race together because online stuff is cool but I want to go back to the old school where your buddies like in your house we want to do that with just a little bit of flare on that and then yeah and a workshop we've done very little work here because it's all too clean we're at that point now where we're like you know when you take the workshop this is the will be the workshop we still have your Corvette looks so crazy it's a bit different than it looked last year yeah that is when I bought all the hdk carbon which you guys said in FAQ and then Darren McNamara puts 40 of it off on the floor but the idea was that basically we wanted to make a Corvette that didn't look like anyone else's Corvette because when I built this car it was like the third or third or fourth maybe like drift build pro Corvette and then obviously since then everyone's building Corvettes and it's very hard to be unique so I sent it down I never saw the design I never knew anything about it and every time he would ring me he's like I think I've gone too far now and then he would say I've gone a bit more far I've got a bit more fine he said no I just ran away with myself so you know what he's like yep so he's made a lot of funky bits and pieces the fender is being very controversial but he likes the fact that it's a make sure it's a strut like a single-seater race car yeah so he was like I like the idea and he'd even cut this angle so that when the car is on Full lock it's perfectly in line with the car so you can see the suspension working and everything so because you're obviously sponsored by VC and FDF so for the first time ever you can see it no matter he did a lot of work I think it's always with his design just like he started by wanting to do barge boards like an F1 car and then he was like oh but then it looks stupid with this and then it just gradually became all of that and then we thought it looked a bit like a jet fighter so we teamed this like that I really want him to do something on YFC the wing the wing is my sister yeah and then because the wing was so heavy you have to refabricate the whole back of the car to support you so all the Fabrications this is what Colette is going to be driving at uh Mandela what's the deal with this thing this car pain in the ass was a three-year build so this is a Mazda Miata or you guys right MX5 for us NC so it's a 2000. interesting story about this car was it's a pre-production power from Mazda that went as a hot lap car in Mondello Park so it only had 4 000 kilometers on the shell and it never saw like salt on the road for us because it would never on the road so we bought it when Mazda had finished their deal or whatever put an SR20 in it blew up put an SR20 in it blew up and then we figured out that the sump and stuff was wrong with it we then put a very fancy Sr in it so this is the man that built the engine on this car it's the same that built the one in your S15 last year oh really DUI engines in the UK so she's a really fancy fancy car super clean because it's done no full events but now it is all good to go nearly 500 horsepower six feet sequential 4x8 suspension it's good to go there's a lot with this card unpack Colette will be covering it more on her Channel since she'll be driving through the weekend but I know this is a big moment for Josh to be able to three years he's been building that and he's almost Happy to be looking at it from the outside than the inside because we just wanted to see the thing they're drift kind of like you with your car when she was driving it last year that's what you kept saying I would say that's the easiest person to give a character because she looks after them and she she drives in her she does all the stress testing so this is my first time seeing this car and also today I learned that not only am I going to be competing in this car this weekend but Dave's actually going to be competing in the same car afterwards yep so that's pretty cool well we're looking for the same height because that was the biggest misery for the last week was the guy who built the car was quite short and had an unusual setup so we got on to Ryan who's our buddy who actually did all the Fab on the Corvette and the MX-5 and I said I got like five days to make this thing work so all that's been changed so the cage had to be redone because your head would hit so when you would put the seat back the harness bar wouldn't fit so we had to redo the harness bar then the cage would here so they refabbed the cage let's hope all of that was worth it because it wasn't I'm going to be very very very tired I've never I've never even sat in this car in person yet no this is this is a lot to take in oh there's plenty of Headroom yep that's great so we lowered the floor onto the seat in the floor lower is like a there's like a pedestal for the feet yes can I oh wow that's I've never had full running pedals yeah they're a little bits to get used to yeah you almost got to like rest your heel on this huh yes so what's strange with this car is as the electronic power steering on the column which is really close to where the brake and the clutch were so just just to let you know how much of a rabbit hole this car went through for the last week I said can you just lower the seat so unfortunately the water pipes for the rear rad went under the seat so they all had to be completely rerouted then when we went to lower the seat he realized the head would hit the cage so we redid the cage there and the harness bar and then the actual power steering was hidden his feet so he lowered the floor and put the pedals in there I had to put a new floor on the car the handbrake was moved and the handbrake itself wasn't working properly and then when we pulled the handbrake we had to realize it wasn't locking properly dual calipers on the back and after all that we now have on not today but when he gets to the track on Friday a full carbon fiber dashboard for the car as well so so you gotta have those onboard shots looking good right this thing happened as much as that sounds like I'm being very generous to Adam yeah I'm driving the car afterwards so obviously I'm like as long as he gets through the weekend has a good time in it he'll do all the stress testing for me he'll give me some feedback on it see how it goes I used to compete in a Corolla and they're so much fun to drive especially when you almost have too much power for the grip I think this thing is going to be wild like we have low boost on it at the moment at 460 and high is 540. but oh and also from the update from the last video Mike because everyone will be saying why are you running reps on the car Adam we now have from Japan three-day shipping work zero ones all around I didn't even get to look at it then we're running the Reps of spares approved we're running the Reps of spared but actually it's funny we couldn't find as good an offset in the real wheel as it was in the Reps that's funny which is really funny but they are proper jobs so their reps are the spares yeah because uh buying 10 of them would have been pretty tough going um but yeah we can adjust things I think we're going to try and look at adjusting is the steering wheel so I think everything is pretty much perfect for me I just need to if I can move the seat closer somehow I don't know how much of a pain in the ass that'll be I'm like if I'm sitting in the seat I'm like you're stretching full extension so if I could be just a little bit closer to the wheel which like I could technically achieve with cushions but basically at the moment with two options we have one is we can put in further spacer on the steering wheel to bring it closer but I think the pedal is the problem man well it's yeah it's both so basically I think Ryan could be a little bit taller so I basically said Ryan make it fit you because he's similar height to us he's got long legs so I think we can just push a little bit forward and probably solve the problem can we start it uh in here you can but the fuel humans can get we haven't got the extractor fan in here yet we got it for like two seconds of course how do you do that no idea I've never done this guy I think that's it no idea no idea at all that's the first bit yep and then is it on the roof no this might be a kill switch that's the kill switch I'd say which I think should be on and then you are in the line of fire there we go we're on the roof officially you found it it's on the roof where else would it be put on the roof remember it dumps out here ready yeah it's a Jay-Z it makes big Flames like four foot Flames at the side of the car is uh does ALS need anti-like yes what what does that do does it work yeah would you use it when you're drifting yep and it just like keeps you to loose it keeps it a boost and it just goes bye bye bye bye cheater cheater you gotta ask our tongue that's the automotive that also has anti-like as well not a cheater totally fine now yeah this thing spits like four foot Flames when it's hot outside really it's really cool is it is it super loud like in your face or it's not too bad the Flames yeah it's only when the answer guys on got it so it's obviously dumping every time you let off the throttle but if you don't put the answer back on I don't think there's much lag in it anyway but again we're both learning together Adam because I've never read it either so yeah I'm watching it going I don't know be careful yo I'm not home as you guys know the event is Saturday and Sunday that'll be the first time that I'm driving this thing I'm super excited I know that it's cool and it's gonna be a lot of fun and there are a lot of cars that are literally being built just for this event that's never happened before here because usually we're like borrowing this nut but the fact that we're actually putting cars together to fit the personalities of people we still have more to reveal I think like Colette's car your car really fit your whole vibe and also just to see you in a Corolla in Ireland because that this chassis built the whole drift scene in Ireland so even though we've come so far with drift Masters and fde to come all the way back again to the start of what and then see how your reaction to I don't know just you driving the Corolla over the hill in mondado just feels like we're in 2008 again so it's cool like I think everyone's gonna be pumped to see it and because you don't know how you're gonna do I think it's like an unknown as well we all know you can enjoy best buddies we all know you can drive like Mustangs and stuff but this is totally like blank slave for you so it's going to be a challenge like we have for the first time ever in competition in Europe in about 10 years 586 is on the grade out of 29 because Luke's driving one too right yeah and we got Sultans went in there so we got a couple of them in there it's gonna be fun and then we didn't we didn't announce what uh what hurts driving yet did we we can say it though let's drive in our varosa so he's driving a big body and we're building it as a bit of a replica of his car in the US but nobody's seen it yet even I haven't seen it it's currently being wrapped at the moment by Precision Graphics saying guys that did this so a lot of panic and everybody's rolling in it's getting exciting there's a lot more to unpack and uh show in this video but I'm excited to finally get to see this thing first time rock given amazing I'm glad that we like kind of moved away from the yellow front kept it orange believe it or not this car was designed after the t-shirt that was made before the car was even wrapped yep so Josh who does all her art uh we basically tasked him with making the event merch that was based around this car what we thought it was going to look like so when we came to wrap it we're going through trying to make it look like the car on the t-shirt which is kind of where yeah it went backwards to the t-shirt from originally it was just going to be yellow it's red but I think the the orange was the look I think it came out really really nice save this color in print too yep when it's easier change one wrap than a lot of t-shirts so yeah it's a better way of doing it it's raining that's normal here it doesn't bother us it was like the compound yeah no the worst thing is I gotta take your Livery off and I think it just suits the car so well like ah everybody how do I topped off it's very cool I love the two-tone yeah it's like the old school look of the two-tones with the new school kind of yeah I was worried if we went full body like color which I'll we'll put a photo out on the screen it almost looks like two two drift boy two like stance boy drift boy I would say the black makes it I think it would still look good and I was maybe leaning more that way but then you went with this and I actually agree now that I see it that it's perfect a little more a little bit more aggressive yeah and she's a good little car like it's going to be I think it's gonna be fun and it's sound sick and it's got flames and it pops and bangs and like it's a proper like little rocket ship I'm gonna be giggling like a school school girl when I drive this I'm still on like three four hours of sleep so my facial expressions don't let you don't let that misjudge my excitement for this thing well I think on Friday like you're gonna be woken up pretty quickly yet do we get the test on Friday yep oh sweet so when you throw it sideways at 75 miles an hour then I think you'll be pretty well I'm going in 95. 75 those are rookie numbers it'll do the Star Line back I don't know 15 inch tires and 500 horsepower it's gonna be it's gonna be fun so you think I'm gonna be at a disadvantage because my wheels are smaller do you think the weight will offset that like what's the tread width on this compared to like what other people be running so you're running a 205 and they're running two five five or two six five but I don't think it's gonna make any difference on that layout because that's a momentum layout there's no hard poles so it's all firing into a first Corner lightweight generally in that track works best because you can go faster through the first corner without washing off the track so I think I think it's gonna do 205s what do you run on your E36 I heard Luke's on 265s but Coronas don't work on 265s I'm just a lot of people try it you've also got trigger Forks 86 which is also on 18s but I think there's two six fives yeah I think it should be faster I'm wondering so are do we we already have tires ordered yeah yeah are the the Reps less wide are they the same width more white gotcha and do you think we'll roll into the sidewall or do you think we'll be aired up now that's fine both are fine we check both it's actually better stance with the Reps really yeah because actually they don't make these three or ones really Indians wide as they do but uh either way it's fine and to be honest with you I think you're gonna find on the first couple of laps that this we have a video of this car chasing your S15 from last year in Mondello and your old cars on 76 and this car is on real tires and it's staying with it the whole way so I think the wage is the big difference in that track it is I have a muffler on my Fender exit that's the coolest thing I've ever seen I was worried it was gonna blow my ears out I didn't even they had a couple of goals in it obviously because they went here at one point and they're like let's go that way I like it though it's neat um it seems like a simple car yeah it's not Overkill in any in any shape or form it's got the great combination of Toyota uh Nissan BMW and Volvo in the one car there's some stuff on this because we're still digging in because we didn't build it we're we're going like it all works so let's not change too much right but then we're going let's investigate as we go along what any of this is doing maybe we can make this better or that better it's going to be a work in progress for us but the one thing is that the guy who drove this came to our last few events and all we did was sit on the pit wall going that is a cool car yeah and it ran all weekend no problems so we were like it's obviously a good car to drive so I was like it's a good starting point and he put a lot of love and effort into the car and the amazing thing is this car was built for former D I was telling you that earlier off camera so originally it was going to go to formula D years and years ago and it got abandoned as a shell completely fabricated and then it was picked up and finished so the guy that's coming back drifting this weekend Eric O'Sullivan who was an FD hasn't drifted in 10 years and that was his car and he's back at this event and now he gets a competing against compete against the car that he was building for FD this weekend so not little stories going on yeah that's cool I just noticed it says fire suppression too that's cool yep that's the legal here you have to have a problem I feel like the biggest thing is that it's rear radiator that's not like I feel like a common for an 86 at least over in the states most people just try to cram it in the front and then have overheating issue I think when they bought the wooden Jay-Z and they went well that's the space gone there so we'll just put it somewhere else but we have to call them distinguish them because we got the coop as the standard UK version and we don't call it a coupe we just call it that n86 and then we refer to these as a Booter because they have a boot not much of a boot not much of a boost and these are actually rarer here really than the coops yeah what are you talking about talking to boot in the coop I don't say we don't say Coupe in Ireland either for some reason we're not we're not passionate yeah when I use the brakes it says brakes you mean the coward pedal I love that man everyone's gonna know when I'm left foot breaking and before transition making people hit me all right foreign but we're all super tired and jet lagged we basically like left at night didn't sleep that much and then it started a new morning here I'm stoked that we get to see the thing in person way more stoked to drive it uh but this is an amazing place I'm glad we're able to share a bit of it with you let me know what else you want to see on our Ireland Adventure we have the world tour this weekend at Mondello Park looking forward to seeing you all there all the homies flying tomorrow so it's gonna be hectic but it's gonna be a good time mashed potatoes bro that trucker always laughing his ass off at me hey so you just not know what he's doing I don't know what these signs mean any driving where Adam was collecting ever get me out of the car would change this guy we're they're almost 14 accidents already about to happen manforeign ERS mashed potatoes welcome to Ireland we landed about 30 minutes ago first stop was this little cafe and we got meat potatoes and mash balls I didn't sleep very much look come look at this they asked me in the rental place do I want a stick shift I said of course but they were in limited availability so it goes do you want a Ford Cuda and I'm like what I'm picturing like a barracuda which isn't a Ford no I don't think it is I think it's a Plymouth anyway this is what a Ford oh it's a cougar yes I thought it was cool yeah it's awful I love Ford but this things are better than this for sure you did you get a Nissan croissant and I got the phone we are uh we're heading over to drift games I got a new space that looks absolutely unbelievable uh they have a full video tour of it but I've intentionally not watched it because I want to see it in person for the first time made some poor financial decisions on the plane but you guys will find out about that in a few months is that a tweak or a wing I don't know what's familiar no no yeah look at that bro that trucker always laughing his ass off at you hey so this dude does not know what he's doing I don't know what to do it's mean hey is that officer Dad okay we're at the right spot hey what are you doing here I thought that was it I'm in the wrong goddamn side of the road he just was James is bad he almost got off by a few trucks brookies how do I how do you like my Ford Cougar it's old and attractive I knew that was a Ponder Big Four Guys hello how are you tired yes hello what's up how are you snap hello see him no he was stealth mode back there nice any driving with Adam and Colette man but get me out of the car would change this guy we're they're almost 14 accidents already about to happen man well number one was pretty bad yeah we found out there's a used car sale lot at uh drift games yes there is none of them are for sale what is this that's a Maserati all right Ken tell me okay tell me the engine block all right welcome so this is our new home but it's got like five or six different businesses so it's centered around Dean motors which is here so they sell like performance cars classic cars unique things so basically they've got a showroom here and a lot of extra cars outside as you've seen already um and that's their showroom that's their workshop so as you can see working on a random variety of things Subaru to Rolls Royce uh we are up here in our drift game studios you've got a place that does wheel refurbs over here got a detailer behind there and then there's a place that fixes motorbikes behind heels and Car Central loads of stuff yeah there is so much going on here if any of you guys are from the Connecticut area and you know I think it's called like maybe industrial Plains Road there's like one Road in Wallingford where everybody's shops are and it's like like probably like a quarter mile this is basically Wallingford in a parking lot yeah yeah that's sick yeah there's so much going on here and even we're still getting used to it because it's only open the last few weeks yeah so it's only really operational now and I still getting used to like the variety of what's around from like Alpena to AMG to 911. whatever who knows who knows I love the variety yeah yeah I think Adam's wallet does not love the variety well thankfully I made a poor decision on the plane so I can't make one here look at how small the wheels are those are sticky too yeah these are uh these are tens all of that there are three lugs it's crazy that full-size seats fit in here are they touching actually a bit of space between no I've seen these wheels probably like two dozen times I've never seen an actual car that looks pretty cool yeah itself is sick how are you what is something like this like typically go for here probably 15 16 000 Euro like a a really early good one is forty fifty thousand year on it wow yeah they um they're hard to get original ones they've all been touched like there's no no such thing as a completely unmolested one nowadays they were just cheap cars everyone just thought it's an old Mini Hot Wheels On Us put a cage on us um change the engine you could get the engine yeah I've never had one without a cage but like you don't want to crash it I understand every single one I've had has had a cage yet we've been running around it's good to have everybody here so we're in Simon Dean's uh classic and Prestige car show yeah this is something I don't think anyone in America has ever seen before so this is an mg Metro underneath which is the most boring cheapest car you could buy Ever rubbish some reason they said hey we're gonna go Group B rallying in the 80s and they put the engine in the back on a ridiculous wide body and this is a complete like replica of one that's road legal the rally car is not road legal but this guy built it specifically just so he could drive it on the road yeah this is like the most obnoxious front it's better I think it looks like a um it looks like a 99 spec FD win just like yeah just turned upside down yeah yeah this government knows even for the brand it made no sense because they were the most boring old man's brand groupie rally let's go so they built some of these things it's a two liter turbo in the back yeah some guy in Northern Ireland just said I want one of those but I want to put a plate drive it around to car shows that you just built it literally from the ground up with a lot of the original parts from the rally cars why kind of loud hit the diff and go have some fun foreign Studio I wanted to remind you that the fdrx7 giveaway is still live where every five dollars you spend on lzmfg or drift HQ is going to give you enter for a chance to win the merch is great we got other stuff on lzmfg and I also wanted to add in addition to everything on the drift HQ website if you're getting a custom quote or placing order with our amazing sales team that will still be eligible for giveaway entries so we've got a complicated build and you want help specking out some turbo engine stuff body parts whatever we got you covered it's an amazing car and you're sleeping if you don't have it it's legit pretty good this is a bit bit of a level up from the shed last year I wish we got the shot of the car coming up on the on the ground call it the ramp yeah that's so empty it's so epic to everyone until they're doing it 14 times in a row and it's really slow uh nope that is one of our friends Cars this looks so similar same yeah same same kit what does the car start off as well that's a 996. and this is a 997. so the reason people do it is because the 996 is the ugliest Porsche they change it to that so it looks better then sometimes it's about 997 anyway and changed it so like the fourth and fifth kit made I think and it's uh that's father and son so Craig who works with us that's his car that's his dad's car and his dad who owns the Porsche built on this wow he was the builder for this so our Builder was Car Guy our electrician Jimmy Oakes is driving his car at the weekend everybody who built it because obviously you can't just go to a normal person and say I want to build a town in a warehouse on the second floor it's really cool I almost feel like you go to someone that like builds theme parks right this is what do you know what this actually is from your Invitational because we did a whole Crazy Event and then Jess my wife and I went to Universal Studios for one day as a break in your Mustang and I was standing in the middle of the Fast and the Furious ride saying this is weird because it looks like it's a little town a little garage but it's not a garage I was like that's mad it must be cheap to build buildings inside because you don't need to do insulation you don't do anything thus creating also to be honest it rains Every Day in Ireland and we kind of said if we could make the outside inside and not have any rain like that ideal for the winter here so June 15th we decided to take lease and at that point we didn't even know we're doing this and then two weeks ago we finished it that's crazy have you have you discussed a cost on video is that something you share we had a budget we took a loan because we always do that's our favorite thing to do and a hundred thousand Euro cost and we got in at 101. wow so it's really close yeah I feel like for for what this place is like to build something somewhere in the states I think would be more than that much more I'll put this way a lot of mates rates involved with this yeah so basically the boys were so enthusiastic about actually building it that they just send more people there more stuff they're like no no we'll do that no no what if we did this yeah so they were pumped on it too the day we painted the whole place inside black was like that was the day I thought we ruined the place because it was the floors black the roof was black everything's black you just simply go black hole but then when we started putting stuff in it came together pretty good but in Dublin rents are so high that second floor is obviously useless for a garage for somebody trying to bring cars in every day and also we don't have the pillars like they have downstairs so it's much more space and because this was actually a meat processing plant where they used to literally grind meat here they actually had all these drains which were for blood originally which is a bit disgusting but it's really good for washing cars because you can wash your car inside and it all just blows outside yeah no way you can wash it everything happens do you have a hose we don't have it in here now but we can do it yeah so you can literally power hose the whole place and it just flows down everything's on a slant even even the finish of like the ceiling is like stupid of a detail as that is like yeah it looks so good yeah it's something like everything painted all the wiring you know it's not like there's like a bunch of Speckles or whatever like it's very smooth and it's not finished yet but a cool atmosphere will make a cool car 10 times better well we I think everyone is we had all these cars but they all looked rubbish because they were just crushed into a corner with boxes on the roof you know they're all kind of have their own space it also allows control where I have to sell a car to buy a car now to have a space that's my new yeah so we're like well we could squeeze a few more in but we've still got a lot to finish we we're building this carcade which is like a full arcade built into like 2000s units sick so it looks like an old arcade but it's all like just stop trying to take the federal course and all that stuff trying to do like an eight link so everyone can sit down and race together because online stuff is cool but I want to go back to the old school where your buddies like in your house we want to do that with just a little bit of flare on that and then yeah and a workshop we've done very little work here because it's all too clean we're at that point now where we're like you know when you take the workshop this is the will be the workshop we still have your Corvette looks so crazy it's a bit different than it looked last year yeah that is when I bought all the hdk carbon which you guys said in FAQ and then Darren McNamara puts 40 of it off on the floor but the idea was that basically we wanted to make a Corvette that didn't look like anyone else's Corvette because when I built this car it was like the third or third or fourth maybe like drift build pro Corvette and then obviously since then everyone's building Corvettes and it's very hard to be unique so I sent it down I never saw the design I never knew anything about it and every time he would ring me he's like I think I've gone too far now and then he would say I've gone a bit more far I've got a bit more fine he said no I just ran away with myself so you know what he's like yep so he's made a lot of funky bits and pieces the fender is being very controversial but he likes the fact that it's a make sure it's a strut like a single-seater race car yeah so he was like I like the idea and he'd even cut this angle so that when the car is on Full lock it's perfectly in line with the car so you can see the suspension working and everything so because you're obviously sponsored by VC and FDF so for the first time ever you can see it no matter he did a lot of work I think it's always with his design just like he started by wanting to do barge boards like an F1 car and then he was like oh but then it looks stupid with this and then it just gradually became all of that and then we thought it looked a bit like a jet fighter so we teamed this like that I really want him to do something on YFC the wing the wing is my sister yeah and then because the wing was so heavy you have to refabricate the whole back of the car to support you so all the Fabrications this is what Colette is going to be driving at uh Mandela what's the deal with this thing this car pain in the ass was a three-year build so this is a Mazda Miata or you guys right MX5 for us NC so it's a 2000. interesting story about this car was it's a pre-production power from Mazda that went as a hot lap car in Mondello Park so it only had 4 000 kilometers on the shell and it never saw like salt on the road for us because it would never on the road so we bought it when Mazda had finished their deal or whatever put an SR20 in it blew up put an SR20 in it blew up and then we figured out that the sump and stuff was wrong with it we then put a very fancy Sr in it so this is the man that built the engine on this car it's the same that built the one in your S15 last year oh really DUI engines in the UK so she's a really fancy fancy car super clean because it's done no full events but now it is all good to go nearly 500 horsepower six feet sequential 4x8 suspension it's good to go there's a lot with this card unpack Colette will be covering it more on her Channel since she'll be driving through the weekend but I know this is a big moment for Josh to be able to three years he's been building that and he's almost Happy to be looking at it from the outside than the inside because we just wanted to see the thing they're drift kind of like you with your car when she was driving it last year that's what you kept saying I would say that's the easiest person to give a character because she looks after them and she she drives in her she does all the stress testing so this is my first time seeing this car and also today I learned that not only am I going to be competing in this car this weekend but Dave's actually going to be competing in the same car afterwards yep so that's pretty cool well we're looking for the same height because that was the biggest misery for the last week was the guy who built the car was quite short and had an unusual setup so we got on to Ryan who's our buddy who actually did all the Fab on the Corvette and the MX-5 and I said I got like five days to make this thing work so all that's been changed so the cage had to be redone because your head would hit so when you would put the seat back the harness bar wouldn't fit so we had to redo the harness bar then the cage would here so they refabbed the cage let's hope all of that was worth it because it wasn't I'm going to be very very very tired I've never I've never even sat in this car in person yet no this is this is a lot to take in oh there's plenty of Headroom yep that's great so we lowered the floor onto the seat in the floor lower is like a there's like a pedestal for the feet yes can I oh wow that's I've never had full running pedals yeah they're a little bits to get used to yeah you almost got to like rest your heel on this huh yes so what's strange with this car is as the electronic power steering on the column which is really close to where the brake and the clutch were so just just to let you know how much of a rabbit hole this car went through for the last week I said can you just lower the seat so unfortunately the water pipes for the rear rad went under the seat so they all had to be completely rerouted then when we went to lower the seat he realized the head would hit the cage so we redid the cage there and the harness bar and then the actual power steering was hidden his feet so he lowered the floor and put the pedals in there I had to put a new floor on the car the handbrake was moved and the handbrake itself wasn't working properly and then when we pulled the handbrake we had to realize it wasn't locking properly dual calipers on the back and after all that we now have on not today but when he gets to the track on Friday a full carbon fiber dashboard for the car as well so so you gotta have those onboard shots looking good right this thing happened as much as that sounds like I'm being very generous to Adam yeah I'm driving the car afterwards so obviously I'm like as long as he gets through the weekend has a good time in it he'll do all the stress testing for me he'll give me some feedback on it see how it goes I used to compete in a Corolla and they're so much fun to drive especially when you almost have too much power for the grip I think this thing is going to be wild like we have low boost on it at the moment at 460 and high is 540. but oh and also from the update from the last video Mike because everyone will be saying why are you running reps on the car Adam we now have from Japan three-day shipping work zero ones all around I didn't even get to look at it then we're running the Reps of spares approved we're running the Reps of spared but actually it's funny we couldn't find as good an offset in the real wheel as it was in the Reps that's funny which is really funny but they are proper jobs so their reps are the spares yeah because uh buying 10 of them would have been pretty tough going um but yeah we can adjust things I think we're going to try and look at adjusting is the steering wheel so I think everything is pretty much perfect for me I just need to if I can move the seat closer somehow I don't know how much of a pain in the ass that'll be I'm like if I'm sitting in the seat I'm like you're stretching full extension so if I could be just a little bit closer to the wheel which like I could technically achieve with cushions but basically at the moment with two options we have one is we can put in further spacer on the steering wheel to bring it closer but I think the pedal is the problem man well it's yeah it's both so basically I think Ryan could be a little bit taller so I basically said Ryan make it fit you because he's similar height to us he's got long legs so I think we can just push a little bit forward and probably solve the problem can we start it uh in here you can but the fuel humans can get we haven't got the extractor fan in here yet we got it for like two seconds of course how do you do that no idea I've never done this guy I think that's it no idea no idea at all that's the first bit yep and then is it on the roof no this might be a kill switch that's the kill switch I'd say which I think should be on and then you are in the line of fire there we go we're on the roof officially you found it it's on the roof where else would it be put on the roof remember it dumps out here ready yeah it's a Jay-Z it makes big Flames like four foot Flames at the side of the car is uh does ALS need anti-like yes what what does that do does it work yeah would you use it when you're drifting yep and it just like keeps you to loose it keeps it a boost and it just goes bye bye bye bye cheater cheater you gotta ask our tongue that's the automotive that also has anti-like as well not a cheater totally fine now yeah this thing spits like four foot Flames when it's hot outside really it's really cool is it is it super loud like in your face or it's not too bad the Flames yeah it's only when the answer guys on got it so it's obviously dumping every time you let off the throttle but if you don't put the answer back on I don't think there's much lag in it anyway but again we're both learning together Adam because I've never read it either so yeah I'm watching it going I don't know be careful yo I'm not home as you guys know the event is Saturday and Sunday that'll be the first time that I'm driving this thing I'm super excited I know that it's cool and it's gonna be a lot of fun and there are a lot of cars that are literally being built just for this event that's never happened before here because usually we're like borrowing this nut but the fact that we're actually putting cars together to fit the personalities of people we still have more to reveal I think like Colette's car your car really fit your whole vibe and also just to see you in a Corolla in Ireland because that this chassis built the whole drift scene in Ireland so even though we've come so far with drift Masters and fde to come all the way back again to the start of what and then see how your reaction to I don't know just you driving the Corolla over the hill in mondado just feels like we're in 2008 again so it's cool like I think everyone's gonna be pumped to see it and because you don't know how you're gonna do I think it's like an unknown as well we all know you can enjoy best buddies we all know you can drive like Mustangs and stuff but this is totally like blank slave for you so it's going to be a challenge like we have for the first time ever in competition in Europe in about 10 years 586 is on the grade out of 29 because Luke's driving one too right yeah and we got Sultans went in there so we got a couple of them in there it's gonna be fun and then we didn't we didn't announce what uh what hurts driving yet did we we can say it though let's drive in our varosa so he's driving a big body and we're building it as a bit of a replica of his car in the US but nobody's seen it yet even I haven't seen it it's currently being wrapped at the moment by Precision Graphics saying guys that did this so a lot of panic and everybody's rolling in it's getting exciting there's a lot more to unpack and uh show in this video but I'm excited to finally get to see this thing first time rock given amazing I'm glad that we like kind of moved away from the yellow front kept it orange believe it or not this car was designed after the t-shirt that was made before the car was even wrapped yep so Josh who does all her art uh we basically tasked him with making the event merch that was based around this car what we thought it was going to look like so when we came to wrap it we're going through trying to make it look like the car on the t-shirt which is kind of where yeah it went backwards to the t-shirt from originally it was just going to be yellow it's red but I think the the orange was the look I think it came out really really nice save this color in print too yep when it's easier change one wrap than a lot of t-shirts so yeah it's a better way of doing it it's raining that's normal here it doesn't bother us it was like the compound yeah no the worst thing is I gotta take your Livery off and I think it just suits the car so well like ah everybody how do I topped off it's very cool I love the two-tone yeah it's like the old school look of the two-tones with the new school kind of yeah I was worried if we went full body like color which I'll we'll put a photo out on the screen it almost looks like two two drift boy two like stance boy drift boy I would say the black makes it I think it would still look good and I was maybe leaning more that way but then you went with this and I actually agree now that I see it that it's perfect a little more a little bit more aggressive yeah and she's a good little car like it's going to be I think it's gonna be fun and it's sound sick and it's got flames and it pops and bangs and like it's a proper like little rocket ship I'm gonna be giggling like a school school girl when I drive this I'm still on like three four hours of sleep so my facial expressions don't let you don't let that misjudge my excitement for this thing well I think on Friday like you're gonna be woken up pretty quickly yet do we get the test on Friday yep oh sweet so when you throw it sideways at 75 miles an hour then I think you'll be pretty well I'm going in 95. 75 those are rookie numbers it'll do the Star Line back I don't know 15 inch tires and 500 horsepower it's gonna be it's gonna be fun so you think I'm gonna be at a disadvantage because my wheels are smaller do you think the weight will offset that like what's the tread width on this compared to like what other people be running so you're running a 205 and they're running two five five or two six five but I don't think it's gonna make any difference on that layout because that's a momentum layout there's no hard poles so it's all firing into a first Corner lightweight generally in that track works best because you can go faster through the first corner without washing off the track so I think I think it's gonna do 205s what do you run on your E36 I heard Luke's on 265s but Coronas don't work on 265s I'm just a lot of people try it you've also got trigger Forks 86 which is also on 18s but I think there's two six fives yeah I think it should be faster I'm wondering so are do we we already have tires ordered yeah yeah are the the Reps less wide are they the same width more white gotcha and do you think we'll roll into the sidewall or do you think we'll be aired up now that's fine both are fine we check both it's actually better stance with the Reps really yeah because actually they don't make these three or ones really Indians wide as they do but uh either way it's fine and to be honest with you I think you're gonna find on the first couple of laps that this we have a video of this car chasing your S15 from last year in Mondello and your old cars on 76 and this car is on real tires and it's staying with it the whole way so I think the wage is the big difference in that track it is I have a muffler on my Fender exit that's the coolest thing I've ever seen I was worried it was gonna blow my ears out I didn't even they had a couple of goals in it obviously because they went here at one point and they're like let's go that way I like it though it's neat um it seems like a simple car yeah it's not Overkill in any in any shape or form it's got the great combination of Toyota uh Nissan BMW and Volvo in the one car there's some stuff on this because we're still digging in because we didn't build it we're we're going like it all works so let's not change too much right but then we're going let's investigate as we go along what any of this is doing maybe we can make this better or that better it's going to be a work in progress for us but the one thing is that the guy who drove this came to our last few events and all we did was sit on the pit wall going that is a cool car yeah and it ran all weekend no problems so we were like it's obviously a good car to drive so I was like it's a good starting point and he put a lot of love and effort into the car and the amazing thing is this car was built for former D I was telling you that earlier off camera so originally it was going to go to formula D years and years ago and it got abandoned as a shell completely fabricated and then it was picked up and finished so the guy that's coming back drifting this weekend Eric O'Sullivan who was an FD hasn't drifted in 10 years and that was his car and he's back at this event and now he gets a competing against compete against the car that he was building for FD this weekend so not little stories going on yeah that's cool I just noticed it says fire suppression too that's cool yep that's the legal here you have to have a problem I feel like the biggest thing is that it's rear radiator that's not like I feel like a common for an 86 at least over in the states most people just try to cram it in the front and then have overheating issue I think when they bought the wooden Jay-Z and they went well that's the space gone there so we'll just put it somewhere else but we have to call them distinguish them because we got the coop as the standard UK version and we don't call it a coupe we just call it that n86 and then we refer to these as a Booter because they have a boot not much of a boot not much of a boost and these are actually rarer here really than the coops yeah what are you talking about talking to boot in the coop I don't say we don't say Coupe in Ireland either for some reason we're not we're not passionate yeah when I use the brakes it says brakes you mean the coward pedal I love that man everyone's gonna know when I'm left foot breaking and before transition making people hit me all right foreign but we're all super tired and jet lagged we basically like left at night didn't sleep that much and then it started a new morning here I'm stoked that we get to see the thing in person way more stoked to drive it uh but this is an amazing place I'm glad we're able to share a bit of it with you let me know what else you want to see on our Ireland Adventure we have the world tour this weekend at Mondello Park looking forward to seeing you all there all the homies flying tomorrow so it's gonna be hectic but it's gonna be a good time mashed potatoes bro that trucker always laughing his ass off at me hey so you just not know what he's doing I don't know what these signs mean any driving where Adam was collecting ever get me out of the car would change this guy we're they're almost 14 accidents already about to happen manforeign ERS mashed potatoes welcome to Ireland we landed about 30 minutes ago first stop was this little cafe and we got meat potatoes and mash balls I didn't sleep very much look come look at this they asked me in the rental place do I want a stick shift I said of course but they were in limited availability so it goes do you want a Ford Cuda and I'm like what I'm picturing like a barracuda which isn't a Ford no I don't think it is I think it's a Plymouth anyway this is what a Ford oh it's a cougar yes I thought it was cool yeah it's awful I love Ford but this things are better than this for sure you did you get a Nissan croissant and I got the phone we are uh we're heading over to drift games I got a new space that looks absolutely unbelievable uh they have a full video tour of it but I've intentionally not watched it because I want to see it in person for the first time made some poor financial decisions on the plane but you guys will find out about that in a few months is that a tweak or a wing I don't know what's familiar no no yeah look at that bro that trucker always laughing his ass off at you hey so this dude does not know what he's doing I don't know what to do it's mean hey is that officer Dad okay we're at the right spot hey what are you doing here I thought that was it I'm in the wrong goddamn side of the road he just was James is bad he almost got off by a few trucks brookies how do I how do you like my Ford Cougar it's old and attractive I knew that was a Ponder Big Four Guys hello how are you tired yes hello what's up how are you snap hello see him no he was stealth mode back there nice any driving with Adam and Colette man but get me out of the car would change this guy we're they're almost 14 accidents already about to happen man well number one was pretty bad yeah we found out there's a used car sale lot at uh drift games yes there is none of them are for sale what is this that's a Maserati all right Ken tell me okay tell me the engine block all right welcome so this is our new home but it's got like five or six different businesses so it's centered around Dean motors which is here so they sell like performance cars classic cars unique things so basically they've got a showroom here and a lot of extra cars outside as you've seen already um and that's their showroom that's their workshop so as you can see working on a random variety of things Subaru to Rolls Royce uh we are up here in our drift game studios you've got a place that does wheel refurbs over here got a detailer behind there and then there's a place that fixes motorbikes behind heels and Car Central loads of stuff yeah there is so much going on here if any of you guys are from the Connecticut area and you know I think it's called like maybe industrial Plains Road there's like one Road in Wallingford where everybody's shops are and it's like like probably like a quarter mile this is basically Wallingford in a parking lot yeah yeah that's sick yeah there's so much going on here and even we're still getting used to it because it's only open the last few weeks yeah so it's only really operational now and I still getting used to like the variety of what's around from like Alpena to AMG to 911. whatever who knows who knows I love the variety yeah yeah I think Adam's wallet does not love the variety well thankfully I made a poor decision on the plane so I can't make one here look at how small the wheels are those are sticky too yeah these are uh these are tens all of that there are three lugs it's crazy that full-size seats fit in here are they touching actually a bit of space between no I've seen these wheels probably like two dozen times I've never seen an actual car that looks pretty cool yeah itself is sick how are you what is something like this like typically go for here probably 15 16 000 Euro like a a really early good one is forty fifty thousand year on it wow yeah they um they're hard to get original ones they've all been touched like there's no no such thing as a completely unmolested one nowadays they were just cheap cars everyone just thought it's an old Mini Hot Wheels On Us put a cage on us um change the engine you could get the engine yeah I've never had one without a cage but like you don't want to crash it I understand every single one I've had has had a cage yet we've been running around it's good to have everybody here so we're in Simon Dean's uh classic and Prestige car show yeah this is something I don't think anyone in America has ever seen before so this is an mg Metro underneath which is the most boring cheapest car you could buy Ever rubbish some reason they said hey we're gonna go Group B rallying in the 80s and they put the engine in the back on a ridiculous wide body and this is a complete like replica of one that's road legal the rally car is not road legal but this guy built it specifically just so he could drive it on the road yeah this is like the most obnoxious front it's better I think it looks like a um it looks like a 99 spec FD win just like yeah just turned upside down yeah yeah this government knows even for the brand it made no sense because they were the most boring old man's brand groupie rally let's go so they built some of these things it's a two liter turbo in the back yeah some guy in Northern Ireland just said I want one of those but I want to put a plate drive it around to car shows that you just built it literally from the ground up with a lot of the original parts from the rally cars why kind of loud hit the diff and go have some fun foreign Studio I wanted to remind you that the fdrx7 giveaway is still live where every five dollars you spend on lzmfg or drift HQ is going to give you enter for a chance to win the merch is great we got other stuff on lzmfg and I also wanted to add in addition to everything on the drift HQ website if you're getting a custom quote or placing order with our amazing sales team that will still be eligible for giveaway entries so we've got a complicated build and you want help specking out some turbo engine stuff body parts whatever we got you covered it's an amazing car and you're sleeping if you don't have it it's legit pretty good this is a bit bit of a level up from the shed last year I wish we got the shot of the car coming up on the on the ground call it the ramp yeah that's so empty it's so epic to everyone until they're doing it 14 times in a row and it's really slow uh nope that is one of our friends Cars this looks so similar same yeah same same kit what does the car start off as well that's a 996. and this is a 997. so the reason people do it is because the 996 is the ugliest Porsche they change it to that so it looks better then sometimes it's about 997 anyway and changed it so like the fourth and fifth kit made I think and it's uh that's father and son so Craig who works with us that's his car that's his dad's car and his dad who owns the Porsche built on this wow he was the builder for this so our Builder was Car Guy our electrician Jimmy Oakes is driving his car at the weekend everybody who built it because obviously you can't just go to a normal person and say I want to build a town in a warehouse on the second floor it's really cool I almost feel like you go to someone that like builds theme parks right this is what do you know what this actually is from your Invitational because we did a whole Crazy Event and then Jess my wife and I went to Universal Studios for one day as a break in your Mustang and I was standing in the middle of the Fast and the Furious ride saying this is weird because it looks like it's a little town a little garage but it's not a garage I was like that's mad it must be cheap to build buildings inside because you don't need to do insulation you don't do anything thus creating also to be honest it rains Every Day in Ireland and we kind of said if we could make the outside inside and not have any rain like that ideal for the winter here so June 15th we decided to take lease and at that point we didn't even know we're doing this and then two weeks ago we finished it that's crazy have you have you discussed a cost on video is that something you share we had a budget we took a loan because we always do that's our favorite thing to do and a hundred thousand Euro cost and we got in at 101. wow so it's really close yeah I feel like for for what this place is like to build something somewhere in the states I think would be more than that much more I'll put this way a lot of mates rates involved with this yeah so basically the boys were so enthusiastic about actually building it that they just send more people there more stuff they're like no no we'll do that no no what if we did this yeah so they were pumped on it too the day we painted the whole place inside black was like that was the day I thought we ruined the place because it was the floors black the roof was black everything's black you just simply go black hole but then when we started putting stuff in it came together pretty good but in Dublin rents are so high that second floor is obviously useless for a garage for somebody trying to bring cars in every day and also we don't have the pillars like they have downstairs so it's much more space and because this was actually a meat processing plant where they used to literally grind meat here they actually had all these drains which were for blood originally which is a bit disgusting but it's really good for washing cars because you can wash your car inside and it all just blows outside yeah no way you can wash it everything happens do you have a hose we don't have it in here now but we can do it yeah so you can literally power hose the whole place and it just flows down everything's on a slant even even the finish of like the ceiling is like stupid of a detail as that is like yeah it looks so good yeah it's something like everything painted all the wiring you know it's not like there's like a bunch of Speckles or whatever like it's very smooth and it's not finished yet but a cool atmosphere will make a cool car 10 times better well we I think everyone is we had all these cars but they all looked rubbish because they were just crushed into a corner with boxes on the roof you know they're all kind of have their own space it also allows control where I have to sell a car to buy a car now to have a space that's my new yeah so we're like well we could squeeze a few more in but we've still got a lot to finish we we're building this carcade which is like a full arcade built into like 2000s units sick so it looks like an old arcade but it's all like just stop trying to take the federal course and all that stuff trying to do like an eight link so everyone can sit down and race together because online stuff is cool but I want to go back to the old school where your buddies like in your house we want to do that with just a little bit of flare on that and then yeah and a workshop we've done very little work here because it's all too clean we're at that point now where we're like you know when you take the workshop this is the will be the workshop we still have your Corvette looks so crazy it's a bit different than it looked last year yeah that is when I bought all the hdk carbon which you guys said in FAQ and then Darren McNamara puts 40 of it off on the floor but the idea was that basically we wanted to make a Corvette that didn't look like anyone else's Corvette because when I built this car it was like the third or third or fourth maybe like drift build pro Corvette and then obviously since then everyone's building Corvettes and it's very hard to be unique so I sent it down I never saw the design I never knew anything about it and every time he would ring me he's like I think I've gone too far now and then he would say I've gone a bit more far I've got a bit more fine he said no I just ran away with myself so you know what he's like yep so he's made a lot of funky bits and pieces the fender is being very controversial but he likes the fact that it's a make sure it's a strut like a single-seater race car yeah so he was like I like the idea and he'd even cut this angle so that when the car is on Full lock it's perfectly in line with the car so you can see the suspension working and everything so because you're obviously sponsored by VC and FDF so for the first time ever you can see it no matter he did a lot of work I think it's always with his design just like he started by wanting to do barge boards like an F1 car and then he was like oh but then it looks stupid with this and then it just gradually became all of that and then we thought it looked a bit like a jet fighter so we teamed this like that I really want him to do something on YFC the wing the wing is my sister yeah and then because the wing was so heavy you have to refabricate the whole back of the car to support you so all the Fabrications this is what Colette is going to be driving at uh Mandela what's the deal with this thing this car pain in the ass was a three-year build so this is a Mazda Miata or you guys right MX5 for us NC so it's a 2000. interesting story about this car was it's a pre-production power from Mazda that went as a hot lap car in Mondello Park so it only had 4 000 kilometers on the shell and it never saw like salt on the road for us because it would never on the road so we bought it when Mazda had finished their deal or whatever put an SR20 in it blew up put an SR20 in it blew up and then we figured out that the sump and stuff was wrong with it we then put a very fancy Sr in it so this is the man that built the engine on this car it's the same that built the one in your S15 last year oh really DUI engines in the UK so she's a really fancy fancy car super clean because it's done no full events but now it is all good to go nearly 500 horsepower six feet sequential 4x8 suspension it's good to go there's a lot with this card unpack Colette will be covering it more on her Channel since she'll be driving through the weekend but I know this is a big moment for Josh to be able to three years he's been building that and he's almost Happy to be looking at it from the outside than the inside because we just wanted to see the thing they're drift kind of like you with your car when she was driving it last year that's what you kept saying I would say that's the easiest person to give a character because she looks after them and she she drives in her she does all the stress testing so this is my first time seeing this car and also today I learned that not only am I going to be competing in this car this weekend but Dave's actually going to be competing in the same car afterwards yep so that's pretty cool well we're looking for the same height because that was the biggest misery for the last week was the guy who built the car was quite short and had an unusual setup so we got on to Ryan who's our buddy who actually did all the Fab on the Corvette and the MX-5 and I said I got like five days to make this thing work so all that's been changed so the cage had to be redone because your head would hit so when you would put the seat back the harness bar wouldn't fit so we had to redo the harness bar then the cage would here so they refabbed the cage let's hope all of that was worth it because it wasn't I'm going to be very very very tired I've never I've never even sat in this car in person yet no this is this is a lot to take in oh there's plenty of Headroom yep that's great so we lowered the floor onto the seat in the floor lower is like a there's like a pedestal for the feet yes can I oh wow that's I've never had full running pedals yeah they're a little bits to get used to yeah you almost got to like rest your heel on this huh yes so what's strange with this car is as the electronic power steering on the column which is really close to where the brake and the clutch were so just just to let you know how much of a rabbit hole this car went through for the last week I said can you just lower the seat so unfortunately the water pipes for the rear rad went under the seat so they all had to be completely rerouted then when we went to lower the seat he realized the head would hit the cage so we redid the cage there and the harness bar and then the actual power steering was hidden his feet so he lowered the floor and put the pedals in there I had to put a new floor on the car the handbrake was moved and the handbrake itself wasn't working properly and then when we pulled the handbrake we had to realize it wasn't locking properly dual calipers on the back and after all that we now have on not today but when he gets to the track on Friday a full carbon fiber dashboard for the car as well so so you gotta have those onboard shots looking good right this thing happened as much as that sounds like I'm being very generous to Adam yeah I'm driving the car afterwards so obviously I'm like as long as he gets through the weekend has a good time in it he'll do all the stress testing for me he'll give me some feedback on it see how it goes I used to compete in a Corolla and they're so much fun to drive especially when you almost have too much power for the grip I think this thing is going to be wild like we have low boost on it at the moment at 460 and high is 540. but oh and also from the update from the last video Mike because everyone will be saying why are you running reps on the car Adam we now have from Japan three-day shipping work zero ones all around I didn't even get to look at it then we're running the Reps of spares approved we're running the Reps of spared but actually it's funny we couldn't find as good an offset in the real wheel as it was in the Reps that's funny which is really funny but they are proper jobs so their reps are the spares yeah because uh buying 10 of them would have been pretty tough going um but yeah we can adjust things I think we're going to try and look at adjusting is the steering wheel so I think everything is pretty much perfect for me I just need to if I can move the seat closer somehow I don't know how much of a pain in the ass that'll be I'm like if I'm sitting in the seat I'm like you're stretching full extension so if I could be just a little bit closer to the wheel which like I could technically achieve with cushions but basically at the moment with two options we have one is we can put in further spacer on the steering wheel to bring it closer but I think the pedal is the problem man well it's yeah it's both so basically I think Ryan could be a little bit taller so I basically said Ryan make it fit you because he's similar height to us he's got long legs so I think we can just push a little bit forward and probably solve the problem can we start it uh in here you can but the fuel humans can get we haven't got the extractor fan in here yet we got it for like two seconds of course how do you do that no idea I've never done this guy I think that's it no idea no idea at all that's the first bit yep and then is it on the roof no this might be a kill switch that's the kill switch I'd say which I think should be on and then you are in the line of fire there we go we're on the roof officially you found it it's on the roof where else would it be put on the roof remember it dumps out here ready yeah it's a Jay-Z it makes big Flames like four foot Flames at the side of the car is uh does ALS need anti-like yes what what does that do does it work yeah would you use it when you're drifting yep and it just like keeps you to loose it keeps it a boost and it just goes bye bye bye bye cheater cheater you gotta ask our tongue that's the automotive that also has anti-like as well not a cheater totally fine now yeah this thing spits like four foot Flames when it's hot outside really it's really cool is it is it super loud like in your face or it's not too bad the Flames yeah it's only when the answer guys on got it so it's obviously dumping every time you let off the throttle but if you don't put the answer back on I don't think there's much lag in it anyway but again we're both learning together Adam because I've never read it either so yeah I'm watching it going I don't know be careful yo I'm not home as you guys know the event is Saturday and Sunday that'll be the first time that I'm driving this thing I'm super excited I know that it's cool and it's gonna be a lot of fun and there are a lot of cars that are literally being built just for this event that's never happened before here because usually we're like borrowing this nut but the fact that we're actually putting cars together to fit the personalities of people we still have more to reveal I think like Colette's car your car really fit your whole vibe and also just to see you in a Corolla in Ireland because that this chassis built the whole drift scene in Ireland so even though we've come so far with drift Masters and fde to come all the way back again to the start of what and then see how your reaction to I don't know just you driving the Corolla over the hill in mondado just feels like we're in 2008 again so it's cool like I think everyone's gonna be pumped to see it and because you don't know how you're gonna do I think it's like an unknown as well we all know you can enjoy best buddies we all know you can drive like Mustangs and stuff but this is totally like blank slave for you so it's going to be a challenge like we have for the first time ever in competition in Europe in about 10 years 586 is on the grade out of 29 because Luke's driving one too right yeah and we got Sultans went in there so we got a couple of them in there it's gonna be fun and then we didn't we didn't announce what uh what hurts driving yet did we we can say it though let's drive in our varosa so he's driving a big body and we're building it as a bit of a replica of his car in the US but nobody's seen it yet even I haven't seen it it's currently being wrapped at the moment by Precision Graphics saying guys that did this so a lot of panic and everybody's rolling in it's getting exciting there's a lot more to unpack and uh show in this video but I'm excited to finally get to see this thing first time rock given amazing I'm glad that we like kind of moved away from the yellow front kept it orange believe it or not this car was designed after the t-shirt that was made before the car was even wrapped yep so Josh who does all her art uh we basically tasked him with making the event merch that was based around this car what we thought it was going to look like so when we came to wrap it we're going through trying to make it look like the car on the t-shirt which is kind of where yeah it went backwards to the t-shirt from originally it was just going to be yellow it's red but I think the the orange was the look I think it came out really really nice save this color in print too yep when it's easier change one wrap than a lot of t-shirts so yeah it's a better way of doing it it's raining that's normal here it doesn't bother us it was like the compound yeah no the worst thing is I gotta take your Livery off and I think it just suits the car so well like ah everybody how do I topped off it's very cool I love the two-tone yeah it's like the old school look of the two-tones with the new school kind of yeah I was worried if we went full body like color which I'll we'll put a photo out on the screen it almost looks like two two drift boy two like stance boy drift boy I would say the black makes it I think it would still look good and I was maybe leaning more that way but then you went with this and I actually agree now that I see it that it's perfect a little more a little bit more aggressive yeah and she's a good little car like it's going to be I think it's gonna be fun and it's sound sick and it's got flames and it pops and bangs and like it's a proper like little rocket ship I'm gonna be giggling like a school school girl when I drive this I'm still on like three four hours of sleep so my facial expressions don't let you don't let that misjudge my excitement for this thing well I think on Friday like you're gonna be woken up pretty quickly yet do we get the test on Friday yep oh sweet so when you throw it sideways at 75 miles an hour then I think you'll be pretty well I'm going in 95. 75 those are rookie numbers it'll do the Star Line back I don't know 15 inch tires and 500 horsepower it's gonna be it's gonna be fun so you think I'm gonna be at a disadvantage because my wheels are smaller do you think the weight will offset that like what's the tread width on this compared to like what other people be running so you're running a 205 and they're running two five five or two six five but I don't think it's gonna make any difference on that layout because that's a momentum layout there's no hard poles so it's all firing into a first Corner lightweight generally in that track works best because you can go faster through the first corner without washing off the track so I think I think it's gonna do 205s what do you run on your E36 I heard Luke's on 265s but Coronas don't work on 265s I'm just a lot of people try it you've also got trigger Forks 86 which is also on 18s but I think there's two six fives yeah I think it should be faster I'm wondering so are do we we already have tires ordered yeah yeah are the the Reps less wide are they the same width more white gotcha and do you think we'll roll into the sidewall or do you think we'll be aired up now that's fine both are fine we check both it's actually better stance with the Reps really yeah because actually they don't make these three or ones really Indians wide as they do but uh either way it's fine and to be honest with you I think you're gonna find on the first couple of laps that this we have a video of this car chasing your S15 from last year in Mondello and your old cars on 76 and this car is on real tires and it's staying with it the whole way so I think the wage is the big difference in that track it is I have a muffler on my Fender exit that's the coolest thing I've ever seen I was worried it was gonna blow my ears out I didn't even they had a couple of goals in it obviously because they went here at one point and they're like let's go that way I like it though it's neat um it seems like a simple car yeah it's not Overkill in any in any shape or form it's got the great combination of Toyota uh Nissan BMW and Volvo in the one car there's some stuff on this because we're still digging in because we didn't build it we're we're going like it all works so let's not change too much right but then we're going let's investigate as we go along what any of this is doing maybe we can make this better or that better it's going to be a work in progress for us but the one thing is that the guy who drove this came to our last few events and all we did was sit on the pit wall going that is a cool car yeah and it ran all weekend no problems so we were like it's obviously a good car to drive so I was like it's a good starting point and he put a lot of love and effort into the car and the amazing thing is this car was built for former D I was telling you that earlier off camera so originally it was going to go to formula D years and years ago and it got abandoned as a shell completely fabricated and then it was picked up and finished so the guy that's coming back drifting this weekend Eric O'Sullivan who was an FD hasn't drifted in 10 years and that was his car and he's back at this event and now he gets a competing against compete against the car that he was building for FD this weekend so not little stories going on yeah that's cool I just noticed it says fire suppression too that's cool yep that's the legal here you have to have a problem I feel like the biggest thing is that it's rear radiator that's not like I feel like a common for an 86 at least over in the states most people just try to cram it in the front and then have overheating issue I think when they bought the wooden Jay-Z and they went well that's the space gone there so we'll just put it somewhere else but we have to call them distinguish them because we got the coop as the standard UK version and we don't call it a coupe we just call it that n86 and then we refer to these as a Booter because they have a boot not much of a boot not much of a boost and these are actually rarer here really than the coops yeah what are you talking about talking to boot in the coop I don't say we don't say Coupe in Ireland either for some reason we're not we're not passionate yeah when I use the brakes it says brakes you mean the coward pedal I love that man everyone's gonna know when I'm left foot breaking and before transition making people hit me all right foreign but we're all super tired and jet lagged we basically like left at night didn't sleep that much and then it started a new morning here I'm stoked that we get to see the thing in person way more stoked to drive it uh but this is an amazing place I'm glad we're able to share a bit of it with you let me know what else you want to see on our Ireland Adventure we have the world tour this weekend at Mondello Park looking forward to seeing you all there all the homies flying tomorrow so it's gonna be hectic but it's gonna be a good time mashed potatoes bro that trucker always laughing his ass off at me hey so you just not know what he's doing I don't know what these signs mean any driving where Adam was collecting ever get me out of the car would change this guy we're they're almost 14 accidents already about to happen man\n"
