The author's Experience with Drift HQ and Their Channel

As the author was learning about Honda motors, they were impressed by their little four-banger that makes 661 horsepower to the wheels. They gave shoutouts to Drift HQ for helping them with parts, expressing gratitude for their support. The author reflected on how their channel started as a way to learn about cars and eventually turned into a YouTube video featuring themselves. They mentioned being friends with people from Drift HQ, who had come out to visit them.

The author expressed excitement about their upcoming plans with Drift HQ, including visiting each other's homes and doing fun activities like drifting. They hoped to ride in the Drift HQ car and experience the thrill of driving it correctly. The author acknowledged that they were a Honda enthusiast, which was unusual since they were getting to learn about k-swap turbo cars in an R34.

One of the two things the author wanted to do before the end of their visit was give Butters, one of their friends, a ride in their S13. They had been looking forward to this experience and mentioned that they loved science, implying that they enjoyed analyzing audio quality. The author also expressed their intention to go full kill on their Evo, attempting to top their lap time at the event.

The author acknowledged that not everything went as planned, but they were grateful for the experience of being part of a massive production with many awesome individuals from the tuning community. They mentioned leaving behind a familiar car, their R32 GTR, which had undergone significant changes during their absence. The author hinted that they would document these changes in a future video.

The author's Return to Florida and Plans for Future Content

Between their visit with Drift HQ and returning home, the author was eager to share new content with their audience. They mentioned having spent many hours wrenching on various cars, including their S13, R32, and Evo. The author acknowledged that they had documented some of these experiences in previous videos, but were looking forward to sharing more stories and content upon their return.

The author expressed appreciation for their fans' patience with them, who had been understanding when the author struggled to upload new videos. They hoped that their audience would enjoy the upcoming content, which promised to be fresh and exciting after a long wait. The author concluded by expressing gratitude for the support of their community and looking forward to sharing many more memories in the future.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys I know that this has been the longest I've gone without uploading a video probably in years this Las Vegas Adventure here filming for the banging gear show has been a wild ride so many long hours freezing cold weather and I just couldn't take the time to Vlog how I would have liked but it's gonna be amazing there are some serious cars on the show some amazing people and I cannot wait for you guys to see it when there's more details about when it's going to be released I will let you know but until then this is a combination of just random moments filmed throughout the show Good People Good Vibes some broken cars and uh I hope you all enjoy Trevor had some unfortunate things happen during his track session and I was joking around and I was like you know what out of all the people on the show Trevor thrives under these high pressure situations he probably would be crazy enough to try to swap another engine in before we go drag racing tonight fast forward here we are basically it's almost out uh bolts everything is disconnected we're just waiting on another 2JZ GTE vvti which is exactly what this is and an engine hoist is coming so we're basically wait for that we have to probably the biggest pain is going to be swapping the oil pans because it's like front sump rear sump you got to clean all the RTV but other than that it's just like out swap pans back in hook everything up play with the tune a little bit and go I'm looking forward to it I feel like it'll be probably one of the coolest stories on the show because you know some people have to mention issues but they've cheated and they've gone back the next day or the following day but you're you're grinding out you made the call early and Ryan I believe in you yeah and Sean's been helping out a ton so if it wasn't for him we'd be I'd be about halfway right now so we're making some really good time so everything's done I uh I said to the to the show that Sean is a very talented 2JZ mechanic so we'll see if he uh holds true with that mechanic I like that I needed one of those yep about time to head over to the drag strip stop by to check on Trevi we're making some progress It's back in it's bolted up turbo manifold's on look at this crew you got here monster performance up in this how you doing I gotta head there because that's what my contract says I got to do I'll be there soon I'll save some fun okay you guys look pretty close we're pretty close but the drag racing portion of the show has turned out to be one of my favorites I'm not a big drag racing guy but we've been here every single night and some of these matchups are incredible tonight we're actually running two episodes in the same day just because of track limitations we've got a pretty gnarly lineup got the throttle Supra which is a very cool car uh I can't remember if I talked about in my video or not it is not your typical replica car it is really an inspired by car that took it to level Infinity it is amazing the attention to detail I could probably make a whole video talking about this car it's that cool um got another Mark for supermos from the Northeast and it's got some big Power uh M2 is pretty cool it's more of a track car this is Chris Keane's S15 Dustin's GTR is very cool and we've got all the super cars and then another gray Supra is actually owned by a girl named Katie she's and talked a lot of smacks so we'll see if that car turns out to be fast supercars super cars super cars that um Ferrari this yellow Ferrari right here it's actually supercharged and it sounds amazing I really enjoyed watching it go around track today I I've been talking about how you're a trash talker so I need you to talk some trash on which car I don't know who do you think's gonna do better than you well Mo will do better than me but Taco Bell car ain't gosh yeah is that you're going up against a Taco Bell car I need to show a Taco Bell car is it next to you positive isn't it are you a Taco Bell owner I'm the oh perfect she was just about to talk some on your car that is rude I don't know if I said in my video but we were a little disappointed when you showed up and there wasn't Taco Bell because we were so hungry I'm sorry I usually try to roll up with a couple crunch wraps but you should have you should be running late so uh do you think you're gonna take down the Supra I don't want to say anything yet you know I I think it's gonna be scary close you know he's got the easier challenge here he just has to hit the gas and go go straight he's not as we would say banging gears exactly it's the whole point of the show I have to say my money might be on him I rude for you you're on my team but there's a there's a lot of user error that can happen no diss at you I was driving the Supra going against that thing the wing is sick by the way I dig the wing is that custom uh it's a Darwin Pro body kit it was owned by post Malone the car yes really yes yeah I really hope he wins yeah I have to say something nice I've been such an on video to every Supercar person I need to get some Goodwill back so I'm hoping they watch my videos and don't hate me I'm making really bad jokes non-stop it's fun though you're nice sometimes I'm just mean in front of camera but yeah yeah there's a lot of cool matchups this is one of them KD Supra versus this Taco Bell McLaren with all the fancy bits so let's go about to go out there I'm gonna go check out and see how prep is tonight I feel like I'm a proper drag racer now you know walking on the track feeling the prep that actually does feel real sticky tonight so whoever's out here first is going to be getting the good stuff it almost lift the shoe but uh the drag race experts taught me that it's not just the stick you gotta take your foot and you got to do the twist and that's what really shows you how good the prep is because sometimes it wears out when it looks more like this which isn't sticky and if you take your foot and twist that kind of shows you how much prep there is but it's cold so the cars don't grip that much I've been dying to get a formal interview with the man the myth the legend Butters the audio tech on set how's it going I want you to give me a review of the audio that you hear in my videos what about it is it good is it bad or like give me some in your personal videos on YouTube yeah give me some fancy audio feedback like I don't know it's it's decent yeah how could I do better um have you I'll be honest I just started watching your videos last night Butters it's because you're in it I know I know I know well I expect an audio review I want you to go watch a random video and tomorrow I'm gonna ask you about my audio quality I will see you tomorrow because tomorrow is my I will give you an audio review okay sounds good perfect he's got the octopus pack here that uh technical sink yep they are great products and from what I understand you told me that this Auto syncs in a program so you don't need to do the clappy thing that is correct so I have my tentacle sink this is called the tentacles you're plugging you're plugged into me right now yeah I'm sorry this is called a track e and then I have this which is called the sink e the sink and this plugs into the camera this plugs into you and it time codes together and so when you put it all into Premiere everything is lined up so you don't need to clap I love that I need to I need to figure that out because I have so many mic audio failures whenever I'm doing videos and stuff it's annoying it's great yeah I just need a Butters sure I'll rent them out to you yeah we I was having him give me an audio review of my videos and he goes you know what Adam if I'm being honest I just started watching last night I died inside you know what you're honest I like it you could have lied to me I'm an honest guy what can I say that's what we need in our audio guy exactly honesty I am a little sad though I'll probably cry tonight no don't cry I'm gonna watch your videos I'm gonna watch them oh no Colette was late what happened oh I'm gonna film every time you're late everything you should you should definitely do that definitely try to do that I enjoy hanging out of the drag strip yeah that's cool Butter's favorite time of the day where you get to feel up my girl start going harder on Butters now just because he doesn't watch my videos I said I'll start watching them hey just be gentle okay Butters be gentle all right Butters let's see let's see the technique yeah you're right when you need the jacket we need the jacket he got me that Red Bull he didn't know that what I did what I did not oh he said it was our little secret though Butters I have no part in there you go that's crazy such a gentle man all right give me a little here's my check testing testing one two button all of these two do their thing give you all your privacy hey how you doing James I'm not as cold as we have been over the last few nights I think that's why I actually pulled my camera out usually my hands are so deep in my pockets yeah I don't want to speak too soon like the weather and the wind changes here pretty quickly this is down the lens doesn't sound like such a first world problem here you are on a drag strip racing supercars complaining about the cold four hours standing in like 30 degree weather with not the right clothes well what it is like you see that flag blowing there this like cold wind just blasts straight down here and we're stood here for like four hours anyway the more I say it the more it sounds really weak drag racing isn't that popular where you're from so do you feel like you're gonna be coming home an expert now that we've spent so much time at the strip I don't know I've learned a lot here like particularly talking to people who actually drag race like I'm really enjoying the like nuances of the skills involved in it in terms of what makes a good drag a good launch psychological tactics at the line you know it's it's brilliant man and then actually the terrifying situations of when massive brake horsepower cars are still slipping in fourth gear yeah going up there like Midway they're like 140 mile an hour still spinning up the wheels it's cold so we don't have the like Optimum traction that you might have so it's gonna make for a good show tune in this guy he sounds like he's a professional I guess because he is and I'm not I definitely joke over my words a lot but usually I can get it on the First Take how have I been doing at this whole acting thing you've actually been great I guess I'm not really I'm not really acting so that kind of happens no you're being you and that's what they want sometimes I have to act a little bit however you were correct when you do have kind of a resting face the entire time yeah I need to work on that yeah maybe a little bit I could be that could just be my like Mo I'm just like the crabby JDM guy yeah that could be it that'd be kind of realistic that's kind of like what's his name in CT in Connecticut all right time to go um so guys real quick for these practice ones we're gonna try to get through them as through them as fast as possible so don't worry about talking to them after the races or before the racers just calm up and let them go for practice we got to move through sounds good usually we do six cars a night tonight we're doing not 12 14. we know yeah because this battle is from like a way earlier episode got the homies in the audience tonight I got the peanut gallery making remarks watching all the drag racing going down y'all got the swab done yep got the whole swag it's done cheap like you thought this was out there of an engine son you look smoked right now you sleep sleep yeah I slept last night sleeping for a little bit how many Energies foreign got a 10 minute window that I can take the s13 on track so I'm gonna go shake down make sure it's good right is I'm about to take a 13 out look who shows up oh my God say hi booth again yeah I forgot to sign the fuel line but that's what he's here for I think I leaked some fuel between the throttle cutting and then fuel starting to pull up in the floorboard I figured it was a good time to chill the problem is this line it's a little split a little a little yeah I don't know see this is what happens when when I drive not not great cars you know I guess we just got to tear it down and do a full Bay Refresh on you in oh it's not great I'm gonna pass the test it sure is a good time I've been trying to do this every single day but uh we've had quite the hectic schedule the Evo is getting a quick well-deserved wash I was fortunate enough to be able to get some of my favorite grios products sent out here and I've been stashing the kit in the trunk just waiting for my opportunity all the microfibers all the product even got the good old bucket Omar is saving the day by filming a cliff for me I was very ambitious and I was gonna make a whole car wash video I can't feel my fingers Omar can you attest to the coldness in the air right now oh it's cold it's really cold might be below freezing it's like you can't feel your fingers cold right now just sticking my fingers around in a bucket of ice water I'm from Florida too the same this ain't right I can't wait to get inside the 40 degree garage so I could dry it we're almost there home base for real I can't feel my fingers on them my Eva okay thanks Omar very good I threw a rocker arm I just want to put this out there I know a couple people thought that I brought the eve out here with a rocker arm issue it actually just kept chucking them and I think I finally figured out what's going on this lifter doesn't appear to have as much pressure as it should where the other ones are like rock solid yeah that's like no bueno so I got a new OE lifter I'm gonna change that out and hopefully it stays on so I can put together some laps hey hey let's go back on here right here yep re-race intimidation going on here even though the pops and bangs I didn't have a rocker arm s oh that's cute oh it's not wrong more reliable nevermind knows better time did it I thought evos just had really noisy heads but I think I've had like a collapsed lifter for a while I think since that last firm day where the whole issue started I think I've just been not really all there and it's been kind of a ticking time bomb and every time I've been having fun it's been coming off but hopefully now she'll be good I'm wondering if it was uh you know especially on track once everything started getting hotter maybe it was more likely to fail I don't really understand how lifters work I understand that they do lifting but not sure when they're prone to failure but that one guy was being a pain and now I got a new OE unit so like now hopefully it shouldn't be a pain and now since I have a new lifter hopefully it doesn't keep happening and I can win the race because I gotta race someone like and you gotta win this one yeah so I put slicks on and I put a 400 shot of nitrous um yeah I have a hard time shifting this thing fast I wish I had time to set up Nola's shift but I'm just gonna probably wait one more time I know the noise oh wow so fast wow the only way that I can describe myself right now is smoked I've had so little time that I've just basically abandoned doing anything Vlog related but I wanted to make sure to take a second to say what's up to Randy on my channel and you're a very amazing R34 which I'm stoked to see in person thank you but bummed then this thing used to be on some shiny Wheels dumped on the ground yeah honestly am I growing up I mean I like what I'm seeing here I came over I saw him pull up on some 275 nto ones that is not the normal Choice probably for you huh yeah but it's a great tire that you chose to come out here and wreck some people on the road course on the drag strip oh yeah well give me a give me a little rundown on the the background on this car for those of my channel that might not know so um I bought this car in Japan and the first week I bought it we actually went street drifting in Japan and we did a high speed chase and we were able to bring this car home and completely transform it so I think this is a car that I'm never gonna sell I wanted to do like the poor man's GTR and I wanted to do something that the internet would hate so we decided to case swap it I think it's really cool and I always love the the Pearl on this I feel like a lot of people do it and now there's how do you feel about wraps that have come out that now imitate The Sims that color does it make you feel less special perhaps will ever come they are really good yeah and I and wraps are great for like you know like drift cars you throw them on bang them up redo it again and it's cheap the uh the ghost Pearl or whatever you'd call it on this I always use it as an example whenever I'm showing like a painter like an effect I want to achieve I've never done a full car but I do it on like cages and stuff because I love like the little full touch can you pop the hood for me yeah of course so what's funny about this is I think you're the first person I know that has engine swapped a Nissan that didn't blow up the original engine oh so you took out a running working Neo motor super low mileage too yeah let me get that actually oh shoot yeah send me a message Lee's peering from the background he's like oh he's got a Neo let me get that you can convince me maybe I'll sell it too all right what what uh what's going on with this I don't know anything about this is a Honda motor oh yeah it's honestly I I'm learning about it literally every single day as well but I will say though this little four banger has literally impressed me like it makes 661 to the wheels we've got a g3900 boom shout out to drift HQ oh you guys have been helping us with all of our parts and we're super thankful to have you guys but it's I don't know I think um I think this car symbolizes our Channel we built car I started this channel not knowing anything about cars same I watched your channel I watched the drifting and I was like I had to do that and then I was like dude I need to start a YouTube video and here we are we're friends now you know so super thankful for you and I'm so you came out to the show thanks man we actually have uh some little stuff planned hopefully I can come out to come visit you and we can do some some fun stuff and maybe you can come visit me and we can do some fun drift stuff I'm down I'm down um we're gonna have a good time come hang out with us yep we'll show you the San Jose lifestyle and uh you guys can show me the Florida you guys look pretty crazy from the news though yeah every time I see you driving this car you get a big smile on your face it looks like it rips and I want a ride in it but I don't think I'm gonna have time so I'm gonna need to wait until I come out and visit you yes and you need to put a smile on my face and do some fun things you're gonna drive this yeah I want you to show me how it feels like to actually have this driven the correct way it'll be my first k-swap turbo car really yep oh wow well we have to make it happen and this setup has to be on imagine being a Honda guy and hearing that someone's first time ever experiencing a k turbo is in an R34 that's crazy yeah right that's the point of the build I know I love it well great to see you good to see you buddy hopefully see you soon for the last day there were two things that I wanted to do one was get some more laps in with the s13 I told Butters that I would give them a ride and I've been really looking forward to doing that science oh I love that yo we're not even ready for that buttery smooth audio the butter is about to capture on this ride along right now Moon your butter is committed getting that audio though two being the last day I was ready to go full kill in the Evo I wanted to top the lap time if anything else that went out there so you're about to see is me attempting what I said was either gonna be the fastest lap or a broken car and one of them happened foreign foreign once again this has been an amazing experience there are so many awesome individuals that have been involved in this massive production and I've made a lot of new friends and gotten to know a lot of people that maybe I knew briefly or maybe I didn't know at all in the awesome community that we call tuning now I want to leave you guys with one thing you may see behind me a familiar car that you guys haven't seen in a while my R32 GTR it may look the same on the outside but there's been some very I even feel comfortable saying extreme changes with the car and I was hoping to have it on the show I didn't want to rush in I just couldn't get the car to the point where it needed to be with that being said I have spent so many hours wrenching on this shoe literally every spare second that I had was either wrenching on the s13 the R32 or the Evo and I did document all the stuff that went down with the R32 but I'm going to wait for a future video when I'm back in Florida I can do a proper dive into that car because right right now I think it's the favorite car that I own which is a major statement to say is extremely special it's extremely rad and you guys will see why between that a bunch of stuff going on back home a bunch of cars showing up from Port there's so much cool stuff going on that even though it's been a long time that I haven't uploaded a video I'm so excited to get home get back in the groove and just start the year fresh with a bunch of really rad content and a lot of awesome memories to come appreciate you guys being patient with me not being too hard on me for struggling to get some videos up I hope you enjoyed this one and I look forward to seeing you guys soon when you said you love mewhat is up guys I know that this has been the longest I've gone without uploading a video probably in years this Las Vegas Adventure here filming for the banging gear show has been a wild ride so many long hours freezing cold weather and I just couldn't take the time to Vlog how I would have liked but it's gonna be amazing there are some serious cars on the show some amazing people and I cannot wait for you guys to see it when there's more details about when it's going to be released I will let you know but until then this is a combination of just random moments filmed throughout the show Good People Good Vibes some broken cars and uh I hope you all enjoy Trevor had some unfortunate things happen during his track session and I was joking around and I was like you know what out of all the people on the show Trevor thrives under these high pressure situations he probably would be crazy enough to try to swap another engine in before we go drag racing tonight fast forward here we are basically it's almost out uh bolts everything is disconnected we're just waiting on another 2JZ GTE vvti which is exactly what this is and an engine hoist is coming so we're basically wait for that we have to probably the biggest pain is going to be swapping the oil pans because it's like front sump rear sump you got to clean all the RTV but other than that it's just like

the strip I don't know I've learned a lot here like particularly talking to people who actually drag race like I'm really enjoying the like nuances of the skills involved in it in terms of what makes a good drag a good launch psychological tactics at the line you know it's it's brilliant man and then actually the terrifying situations of when massive brake horsepower cars are still slipping in fourth gear yeah going up there like Midway they're like 140 mile an hour still spinning up the wheels it's cold so we don't have the like Optimum traction that you might have so it's gonna make for a good show tune in this guy he sounds like he's a professional I guess because he is and I'm not I definitely joke over my words a lot but usually I can get it on the First Take how have I been doing at this whole acting thing you've actually been great I guess I'm not really I'm not really acting so that kind of happens no you're being you and that's what they want sometimes I have to act a little bit however you were correct when you do have kind of a resting face the entire time yeah I need to work on that yeah maybe a little bit I could be that could just be my like Mo I'm just like the crabby JDM guy yeah that could be it that'd be kind of realistic that's kind of like what's his name in CT in Connecticut all right time to go um so guys real quick for these practice ones we're gonna try to get through them as through them as fast as possible so don't worry about talking to them after the races or before the racers just calm up and let them go for practice we got to move through sounds good usually we do six cars a night tonight we're doing not 12 14. we know yeah because this battle is from like a way earlier episode got the homies in the audience tonight I got the peanut gallery making remarks watching all the drag racing going down y'all got the swab done yep got the whole swag it's done cheap like you thought this was out there of an engine son you look smoked right now you sleep sleep yeah I slept last night sleeping for a little bit how many Energies foreign got a 10 minute window that I can take the s13 on track so I'm gonna go shake down make sure it's good right is I'm about to take a 13 out look who shows up oh my God say hi booth again yeah I forgot to sign the fuel line but that's what he's here for I think I leaked some fuel between the throttle cutting and then fuel starting to pull up in the floorboard I figured it was a good time to chill the problem is this line it's a little split a little a little yeah I don't know see this is what happens when when I drive not not great cars you know I guess we just got to tear it down and do a full Bay Refresh on you in oh it's not great I'm gonna pass the test it sure is a good time I've been trying to do this every single day but uh we've had quite the hectic schedule the Evo is getting a quick well-deserved wash I was fortunate enough to be able to get some of my favorite grios products sent out here and I've been stashing the kit in the trunk just waiting for my opportunity all the microfibers all the product even got the good old bucket Omar is saving the day by filming a cliff for me I was very ambitious and I was gonna make a whole car wash video I can't feel my fingers Omar can you attest to the coldness in the air right now oh it's cold it's really cold might be below freezing it's like you can't feel your fingers cold right now just sticking my fingers around in a bucket of ice water I'm from Florida too the same this ain't right I can't wait to get inside the 40 degree garage so I could dry it we're almost there home base for real I can't feel my fingers on them my Eva okay thanks Omar very good I threw a rocker arm I just want to put this out there I know a couple people thought that I brought the eve out here with a rocker arm issue it actually just kept chucking them and I think I finally figured out what's going on this lifter doesn't appear to have as much pressure as it should where the other ones are like rock solid yeah that's like no bueno so I got a new OE lifter I'm gonna change that out and hopefully it stays on so I can put together some laps hey hey let's go back on here right here yep re-race intimidation going on here even though the pops and bangs I didn't have a rocker arm s oh that's cute oh it's not wrong more reliable nevermind knows better time did it I thought evos just had really noisy heads but I think I've had like a collapsed lifter for a while I think since that last firm day where the whole issue started I think I've just been not really all there and it's been kind of a ticking time bomb and every time I've been having fun it's been coming off but hopefully now she'll be good I'm wondering if it was uh you know especially on track once everything started getting hotter maybe it was more likely to fail I don't really understand how lifters work I understand that they do lifting but not sure when they're prone to failure but that one guy was being a pain and now I got a new OE unit so like now hopefully it shouldn't be a pain and now since I have a new lifter hopefully it doesn't keep happening and I can win the race because I gotta race someone like and you gotta win this one yeah so I put slicks on and I put a 400 shot of nitrous um yeah I have a hard time shifting this thing fast I wish I had time to set up Nola's shift but I'm just gonna probably wait one more time I know the noise oh wow so fast wow the only way that I can describe myself right now is smoked I've had so little time that I've just basically abandoned doing anything Vlog related but I wanted to make sure to take a second to say what's up to Randy on my channel and you're a very amazing R34 which I'm stoked to see in person thank you but bummed then this thing used to be on some shiny Wheels dumped on the ground yeah honestly am I growing up I mean I like what I'm seeing here I came over I saw him pull up on some 275 nto ones that is not the normal Choice probably for you huh yeah but it's a great tire that you chose to come out here and wreck some people on the road course on the drag strip oh yeah well give me a give me a little rundown on the the background on this car for those of my channel that might not know so um I bought this car in Japan and the first week I bought it we actually went street drifting in Japan and we did a high speed chase and we were able to bring this car home and completely transform it so I think this is a car that I'm never gonna sell I wanted to do like the poor man's GTR and I wanted to do something that the internet would hate so we decided to case swap it I think it's really cool and I always love the the Pearl on this I feel like a lot of people do it and now there's how do you feel about wraps that have come out that now imitate The Sims that color does it make you feel less special perhaps will ever come they are really good yeah and I and wraps are great for like you know like drift cars you throw them on bang them up redo it again and it's cheap the uh the ghost Pearl or whatever you'd call it on this I always use it as an example whenever I'm showing like a painter like an effect I want to achieve I've never done a full car but I do it on like cages and stuff because I love like the little full touch can you pop the hood for me yeah of course so what's funny about this is I think you're the first person I know that has engine swapped a Nissan that didn't blow up the original engine oh so you took out a running working Neo motor super low mileage too yeah let me get that actually oh shoot yeah send me a message Lee's peering from the background he's like oh he's got a Neo let me get that you can convince me maybe I'll sell it too all right what what uh what's going on with this I don't know anything about this is a Honda motor oh yeah it's honestly I I'm learning about it literally every single day as well but I will say though this little four banger has literally impressed me like it makes 661 to the wheels we've got a g3900 boom shout out to drift HQ oh you guys have been helping us with all of our parts and we're super thankful to have you guys but it's I don't know I think um I think this car symbolizes our Channel we built car I started this channel not knowing anything about cars same I watched your channel I watched the drifting and I was like I had to do that and then I was like dude I need to start a YouTube video and here we are we're friends now you know so super thankful for you and I'm so you came out to the show thanks man we actually have uh some little stuff planned hopefully I can come out to come visit you and we can do some some fun stuff and maybe you can come visit me and we can do some fun drift stuff I'm down I'm down um we're gonna have a good time come hang out with us yep we'll show you the San Jose lifestyle and uh you guys can show me the Florida you guys look pretty crazy from the news though yeah every time I see you driving this car you get a big smile on your face it looks like it rips and I want a ride in it but I don't think I'm gonna have time so I'm gonna need to wait until I come out and visit you yes and you need to put a smile on my face and do some fun things you're gonna drive this yeah I want you to show me how it feels like to actually have this driven the correct way it'll be my first k-swap turbo car really yep oh wow well we have to make it happen and this setup has to be on imagine being a Honda guy and hearing that someone's first time ever experiencing a k turbo is in an R34 that's crazy yeah right that's the point of the build I know I love it well great to see you good to see you buddy hopefully see you soon for the last day there were two things that I wanted to do one was get some more laps in with the s13 I told Butters that I would give them a ride and I've been really looking forward to doing that science oh I love that yo we're not even ready for that buttery smooth audio the butter is about to capture on this ride along right now Moon your butter is committed getting that audio though two being the last day I was ready to go full kill in the Evo I wanted to top the lap time if anything else that went out there so you're about to see is me attempting what I said was either gonna be the fastest lap or a broken car and one of them happened foreign foreign once again this has been an amazing experience there are so many awesome individuals that have been involved in this massive production and I've made a lot of new friends and gotten to know a lot of people that maybe I knew briefly or maybe I didn't know at all in the awesome community that we call tuning now I want to leave you guys with one thing you may see behind me a familiar car that you guys haven't seen in a while my R32 GTR it may look the same on the outside but there's been some very I even feel comfortable saying extreme changes with the car and I was hoping to have it on the show I didn't want to rush in I just couldn't get the car to the point where it needed to be with that being said I have spent so many hours wrenching on this shoe literally every spare second that I had was either wrenching on the s13 the R32 or the Evo and I did document all the stuff that went down with the R32 but I'm going to wait for a future video when I'm back in Florida I can do a proper dive into that car because right right now I think it's the favorite car that I own which is a major statement to say is extremely special it's extremely rad and you guys will see why between that a bunch of stuff going on back home a bunch of cars showing up from Port there's so much cool stuff going on that even though it's been a long time that I haven't uploaded a video I'm so excited to get home get back in the groove and just start the year fresh with a bunch of really rad content and a lot of awesome memories to come appreciate you guys being patient with me not being too hard on me for struggling to get some videos up I hope you enjoyed this one and I look forward to seeing you guys soon when you said you love me\n"
