**Formula Drift Plans and Updates**

In this exclusive update, we'll dive into the latest plans and developments for our Formula Drift team. As fans of the sport know, the end of the year is always a crucial time for planning and strategy. Our team has been working tirelessly to make sure we're ready for another exciting season.

One of the most significant updates is the new engine that Freddie Megerson has been working on. We've partnered with Brian Crower Racing to develop a custom 3-liter, oversized bearing crankshaft that will give us a major boost in performance. The new engine will also allow us to run more nitrous and rev the car higher, making it even rowdier than before.

"We're really excited about the new engine," said Freddie Megerson. "We've been working with Brian Crower Racing to develop a custom crankshaft that will give us the power we need to compete at the highest level."

Our team has also been working on other aspects of the car, including lightweight modifications and aerodynamic upgrades. We're confident that these changes will make our car faster and more competitive than ever before.

In addition to the new engine, our team has been looking into new locations for our headquarters. After outgrowing our current space, we've found a new facility that we're extremely excited about. While we can't disclose too much just yet, we can say that it's going to be a game-changer for us.

"Finding a new location is always a challenge," said [Name]. "But this time, it feels like the stars have aligned. We're confident that our new space will allow us to grow and expand as a team in ways we never thought possible."

The new location has also raised some questions about our future plans and projects. With more space comes the opportunity for new ventures and partnerships, which we can't wait to explore.

"I'm excited to see what the future holds," said [Name]. "We've got a lot of big ideas cooking in the kitchen, and I think this new location is going to be a major catalyst for us."

**Behind-the-Scenes Update**

As fans know, our YouTube channel has been relatively quiet lately. But don't worry – we're working hard behind the scenes to bring you more exciting content than ever before.

One of the biggest updates is that our team has finally landed a new place to call home. After months of searching and negotiations, we've secured a new facility that meets all our needs and exceeds our expectations.

"Finding a new office space was always going to be a challenge," said [Name]. "But I'm thrilled with how it's turned out. It's a great location, and I think it will help us take our brand to the next level."

The new office has also brought some new opportunities for collaboration and partnership-building. We're excited to work with more teams and brands in the Formula Drift community.

"We've always prided ourselves on being a bit of a mad scientist when it comes to innovation," said [Name]. "But this new office space is going to take us to a whole new level. I think we'll be able to collaborate even more effectively with other teams and brands, which will help us push the boundaries of what's possible in Formula Drift."

**Upcoming Plans and Live Streams**

As for what's next, we're not entirely sure yet. We've got some exciting plans lined up, but we can't reveal too much just yet.

"I think it's time to mix things up a bit," said [Name]. "We've been doing the same thing for a while now, and I think it's time to shake things up. But that means we'll be taking a bit of a break from regular uploads – don't worry, though! We'll be going live soon, and you can join us then."

The plan is to go live on [Date] and answer any questions you may have about our plans and projects. It's the perfect opportunity for us to hear from you directly and get your input.

"I love interacting with the fans," said [Name]. "It's always a great way to connect with everyone and get a sense of what they want to see more of. So, if you've got questions or just want to chat, be sure to tune in live on [Date]."

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso big power calls for hd claims uh yeah i think you did i think i just broke my dick really what the heck this car lasted all drift week i tried to do one burnout and it breaks this was for a special project that you guys don't even know about i can't believe this i'm never going to financially recover from this i didn't even get to do a burnout that's expensive one is it no you didn't get no burnout so that's an expensive one you're breaking a car so you're negative right now how did it break how did it last all of drift week and it breaks on a burnout it broke in a weird way second gear first that's what i'm saying i also want to put it in the air to see what just happened big sad time here at lg mfg warehouse you're good she got there bud uh you know just i'm gonna weld it together there you go yeah this is this is why johan doesn't like staying late because this is what happens yep usually he's at home relaxing you've got a fire going he's got a cigar his mouth and some popcorn in his right hand and he gets a texture out of it i broke it again they're not coming that's morning to everybody the next morning comes out here yawn we're putting an ls in it completely there safe we're worried about the tie exhaust getting ripped up that's all good i can't believe that took the drive shaft out before the r154 yeah oh how does it look does it look half of your like half the yolk is still in it yeah well that's good yeah i would rather that and not be there oh do you think it tore up the seal though maybe oh yeah we have to replace that for sure where do we get that um toyota yeah we gotta we gotta get one of those sad day here on zmfg this is what happens everything gets like a new car i think cars notice that and then boom they start breaking it sucks because i've had a really good track record johan's been working really hard on the r34 i've been trying not to break other cars so i've been like chilling with the drifting like trying to relax like not driving any of the rowdy cars on the street just driving the rs6 and then the one time i try to do one burnout and a car that is the most reliable car almost of the entire fleet and this it's a sad looking shaft my guy i know i hate it when my shaft is sad we got this pipe made up uh went through a few different like ideas didn't want to make it too complicated because then adding angles in like a pipe section in a different direction will make it harder for welding right kept this simple uh one straight well one turn here straight pipe i know the turn here i don't know exactly the angles but they meet up there and they come out of the plate um that's probably coming out of that up there comes through the plate that is going to be welded to the plate um the plate then is going to be fastened to the car it's already threaded and everything um there will be um rubber grommets between the chassis and the plate yeah rubber trim it'll be around the whole piece stick to the car you won't see it from the top but it'll be there to help keep debris out as much as possible and yeah that would be it um so now we're gonna weld this one up now we could officially cut and call this one done so um i'm just sitting here trying to think on how to keep this pipe from getting warped as i weld it uh because once i go through the whole thing it's gonna be uh warped um i tried my hose clamp thing it's not 100 accurate so i don't have like other type of plugs to fit snug in there and keep the same size so what i'll do is i'll try this and use the aluminum hd flange on here if i could get it in so get it on there it keeps the round true to the the pipe because this pipe will be welded to another pipe so the fitment has to be you know spot on for it to weld nice um because if you don't have good fitments wells won't look good um so yeah that will solve that as long as it doesn't yeah it will solve the heat oh we're gonna say somewhat as a heat sink even though it's not too big but yeah also as you are mucking up things on the car and you're marking up these uh pie cuts always try to remember to put the well seam it might be hard to see on the camera but there's a well seen on the pie cuts i see it um so always try to put it away from what people could see so this is the actual part the angle that people will see always try to keep it hidden away so it'll be the cars here you cannot physically see that right that's also where my wells will start at that uh well scene um okay that makes sense so yo and i we're just talking we think we're actually not even gonna weld the pipe to this plate here just because it looks so clean and it's such a tight fit um there are some rubber mounts underneath where the plate mounts up i know some people in the comments were wondering because of like vibrations and stuff um and obviously the engine needs to move but uh i don't know is this this one doesn't have the yeah but there is quite a bit of flex in room with hd clamps so i think we'll be pretty good um but there's something that we are conscious of and aware but look how tidy this came out we were kind of joking about not using titanium down there but i'm glad you did because it came out phenomenally yeah so the fit up is like perfect yeah the next big step that uh we're starting to kind of go through you'll see we've got a bunch of healthtype sensors kind of spread out all around here and i don't know if i've said this in any sort of videos but i've been kind of working with andrew hawkins from australia and a lot of australian brands um just because i love australia and they know gtr is better than pretty much anywhere else i think it's even safe to say better than japan at this point and maybe i'll get some haters for that but when it comes to building high horsepower like super dialed race car r34 gtrs those guys know what's up and uh crayon racing developments or crd is actually going to be remote tuning this car they probably have more experience tuning um gtrs then man i don't want to say anywhere else because obviously hks has crazy experience like there's so many tuning shops in japan but if you guys know gtrs and you've been following any sort of media on gtrs crd super ogs and we're basically doing everything that they want us to and the car is getting a platinum plug and play and right now we're just kind of mapping out where the sensors are going to be so we can talk to wiring specialties and have them make a sub harness so we can make sure everything's dialed in and uh right where we need it to be all right so i'm going to have a little bit of like kind of like a wordy talky section at the end of this video and i'll be completely transparent part of it is filler because the video is so short but more or less in filler it's an explanation as to why i need to have filler so in that sense it's not filler and i don't feel bad in past few videos i definitely have not been doing nearly as much as i want to on projects and it's kind of a combination of a bunch of things storming together so one johan just been going ham on fabrication r34 so there's not really much i can do on that car and it also takes up one lift and on top of that uh one thing that i'm trying to be proactive about and something that i've always struggled with is kind of creating a proposal and like properly selling myself so i can leverage some sponsorships for next year of formula drift i haven't really talked about this i do plan on doing pro one again it is going to be a full eight round schedule that will spread more across the country than it did this year but usually i wait till last minute and there's no sema this year and all the big brands want to get their budgets figured out by the end of the year so i've been really working hard in the office trying to put together all of my data photos and trying to like really work on that so i can get as much figured out for formula drift next year as possible and freddie has been going back and forth and he's actually developing a new engine that we're going to be running next year so we've been going back and forth between freddy brian crower a new machine shop and everyone's kind of been working harmoniously to try to get a new engine in that car maybe even as soon as by the end of the year so uh we are going to be going down from the 3 4 to a 3 liter brian crawer lightweight oversized bearing crankshaft we're going to be running a little bit more nitrous gonna rev it way higher um and i think it should be pretty rowdy a lot of teams went down from the 3 4 to 3-0 there's a lot of different reasons behind it and i want to let freddie properly explain that because he's got a bunch of like mad scientist logic but other than that in the formula drift stuff i just want to also explain you guys how cool it's been having mike here on board filming and editing because it's finally allowed me to work on my brand rather than in it when i was uploading daily or even every other day having to film and edit myself it was a lot more challenging because i never really got the free time to kind of have meetings with the staff and with other companies and plan and uh this end of the year is like such a crucial planning phase that even though i should be really going ham and content i'm kind of trying to not only relax a little bit but try to work on those bigger picture things so there's a lot of big stuff brewing for next year one of the biggest things of all i don't want to really tell you guys too much yet because i don't want to count my eggs before they hatch we did find a new place that we're super stoked on it's no secret that here you guys can see we are definitely um running out of space and are a bit over full since there's probably like 15 more cars that aren't even in here and we're at the the phase of the process where we have a verbal agreement but we're still just trying to draft up a contract and there's like attorneys and lawyers and all that stuff so i don't want to say anything until i know for sure and then there's the 30 to 60 day closing period and a lot of red tape and a lot of headaches so i don't know how much i don't even know if i want to show you guys a place until i know it's for sure but if everything works out it is going to be a game changer for us um and i hope that you guys can hold on to that little hope and understand that you know as things have been kind of a little quiet and not too crazy in the videos there's a lot of that stuff to bring behind the scenes um it's been fun though because like i buy this new place like you know i'm having to meet with lenders and like really explain what i do and like almost come up with a business plan for lack of a better word which is something i've never really done i really just kind of like rolled with it and it's been pretty crazy putting together these plans and these proposals and all this information in one place and to see how many twists and turns and different avenues we've taken across the years both with youtube with merchandise with brand deals and um it's wild to see like what youtube has turned into and i'm super excited i really hope this new place works out because it would be huge it would be epic it would be so fun it'll just it'll change things a lot so with that being said i want to give you guys some sort of explanation i saw a few comments that the videos have been a little bit you know not the same lately and that's why i've been spending pretty much every single day in the office just making powerpoints and microsoft painting up little diagrams um but it's exciting stuff it's been really fun and i hope you guys are excited as for the next video i don't really know what's going on and then today i don't know maybe i'll have to skip a day of an upload i really don't want to but maybe i'll go live if you if you guys want me to go live i could do that and then that would uh that would kind of free up the weekend and then um i know the next video after that i have some stuff lined up um but maybe if i go live just kind of give me an idea what you guys would want to see what you want to need to talk about i can answer some questions um but yeah thank you guys i hope you understand appreciate you i'll see you soon\n"
