**The Audi S1 E2 Group B Rally Car**

This car is special, completely unique, and a famous rally car from the Group B days of the 80s when rallying went kind of insane. No rules-ish was the motto, and this car embodies that spirit. The owner's dream to build one of these cars became a reality, and it's different in many ways from the original rally car.

**Design and Engineering**

One of the cool things about this drift car is that it kept a very similar power plant to what it would have had in the day. The Audi Quattro features a five-cylinder monster of an engine, which was the glory of the Audi Quattro back in 1985. It's worth noting that replacing this engine with something else would have been tempting for many years, but the owner wanted to preserve the originality of the project.

**Chassis and Suspension**

The front McPherson suspension is a modified Audi lower control arm, which the owner is currently welding together. The chassis knuckle is an SJC coilover, with a chassis rear subframe that's identical to an S14. This is handy because the center of the front wheel to the butt of the driver is exactly the same as an S14, making it pivot nicely like a SiSi.

**Rarity and Sourcing**

Originally, in 1985-86, only 20 cars were built of the S1 E2, which was allowed to be built with a basic car that had to produce 200 units. Then, evolutions could be made, and they just went mental with the evolutions. The owner managed to source parts from Bulgaria, Germany, and other places to try and make this happen. It's unimaginable how difficult it must have been to find these rare and unusual parts.

**Driving and Performance**

Although the car has not been driven yet, the owner did mention that a fire-up was heard in one of Dave's videos, which sounded wild. The car is expected to be driven by the owner on Friday, followed by a full dyno run on Saturday and Sunday. With 700 horsepower at the moment, it's clear that this car packs a punch.

**Event Preparations**

The owner has spent the day checking out Group D and enjoying the hospitality of the event. They've been keeping up with the festival preparations, including uploading daily content leading up to the event. The live stream link is available in the description, and it will be updated regularly. The event promises to be exciting, and the owner is excited to see their creation put through its paces.

**A Personal Note**

The owner expressed gratitude for the Irish hospitality they've experienced throughout the day. They're looking forward to meeting more people at the festival tomorrow and sharing their project with them. With a long drive back ahead of them, they'll need to recharge before another busy day begins. The owner is eager to share their journey with their audience through daily videos, which will be uploaded leading up to the event.

**Conclusion**

The Audi S1 E2 Group B Rally Car is a unique and special project that embodies the spirit of rallying in the 80s. With its original engine and suspension setup, it's clear that the owner wanted to preserve the authenticity of the car. The rarity and sourcing of parts were a challenge, but the end result is worth it. As the owner drives the car on Friday, followed by a full dyno run, they'll be putting their creation through its paces. We can't wait to see how it performs!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right we're officially in ireland the weather's beautiful poor colette they lost their suitcase yeah that's us the good news is delta's giving you a shopping spree yeah i still don't know what that means but apparently we didn't get anything within reason dave from drift games is here picking this up and then i honestly have no idea what we're doing any of these days i'm pretty out of loop with the itinerary but it's going to be a good time so dude what's up i'm taking the taxi thing looks sick i had to buy this for this weekend because i didn't own a four-door car so i was like let's buy some of the fun so we bought a v8 manual converted skid machine you're not joking no really really that's funny like two weeks ago we want it it looks cool it's cool good to see you welcome to our yes good to see you dude do you guys drink coffee here we do all right you want some coffee yes let's go get some coffee please please please i'm gonna try to be somewhat touristy we're in like a little shopping plaza we're about to get an outdoor irish breakfast in this beautiful weather oh crazy we just sat down in this little breakfast restaurant the national newspaper has an article i've never seen anything like that before that's awesome that's like and you didn't even call in or like i never i knew that this is something i would never order but i feel like i had to do the full irish breakfast you have to do it if you're not this is like this is like a national dish i can i can make that out as eggs is this some sort of like bacon ham bacon yeah sausage yep don't know what that is this is pudding i'm gonna let you taste it before i tell you what it is because you won't eat it if i tell you what it is i'm not gonna eat him now no yeah we've been napping in the back of the taxi what was this about a two hour drive two and a half two and a half hour drive we're out in the countryside and we're actually going over to hang out with james dean today it's been a while since i've seen him it was actually back when he was driving fd in the u.s that i think we hung out last but today we're going to go and do some field drifting you're explaining to me the access to tracks isn't very common here so field drifting is kind of a thing that people do out here just practice yeah this is where most guys would learn how to do drifting stuff that's how james got so good he would just go out in an old volvo with a welded diff and just drift all day in the fields until he got used to countersteers so this is like you learning how all those boys learned back in the day so it's kind of kind of cool that you're here you've seen the tracks there's only one race circuit in the whole of ireland which is mandela which is where the lz festival is so there's only one so you got to find another way of drifting right i'm excited something new for me do the cars have like angle are they he's got a 335 bmw with full wise fab on it and he's got a 350z with a lock kit and stuff as well so the cars are good but you can only do it in the dry because if it's in the wet the cars don't move because it's too slippy so it's going to be perfect conditions today what's funny about that is you know how like some of the guys that live where it's like super cold they'll do the same thing with ice drifting yeah except this time you might hit a cow in the middle of the field there's no cows in the ice so this is like a guy's farmer's field that they're going to set up a little course on you'll also get to check out his workshop and all the cars that he has we're here with the man the myth the legend good to see you dude good to have you here welcome to ireland this is the coolest spot like when we pulled in off the road and like you pull up and you just see this thing sitting right in here yeah she's uh she's a good girl so this is my my workshop here uh quite small but um my brother has his own workshop up the back so between the two places we've built quite quite a few cool cars here so this is my falcon tower z92 euro fighter um all the good hdk bits uh 2jz similar to your car in the s15 last year with the 2j so just a hdk motor plate 900 horsepower does it drive similar to like uh like an e36 or an e46 would um similar yeah with the front mount rack like you can use all that angle without having real binding issues um it's a bit longer but with a lot of caster you can still make the car snap very nice what's the track that you drive this car out where i always see doing the backies it almost looks like a go-kart track like super small track like 25 minutes from here watergrass hill uh been driving there for years and it's so much fun it's a brilliant place to test a car because you have such a big angle that you can feel as the steering getting stuck on full lock while braking it has a little bit of everything but you can make some sick videos there next time you come yeah i remember seeing eclipse you driving your street car e92 there too yeah yeah no it's uh any car you know you can just trash it there so my first car was a ford sierra 120 horsepower that's where i used to go 15 years ago and uh times have changed that's for sure when we came in here the first thing that caught my attention were these walls and i was kind of joking but i guess you're saying that those could be like hundreds of years old yeah so this when i first started building in here um it was much smaller it was like from where the s14 bonnet is up to here and to where the wall starts here so it was really small we blew it out of it this wall could be it's older than the house so maybe 200 years old maybe the cows in here yeah exactly some animals back in the day so there's a lot of you'll see this with ireland you'll see lots of old buildings with a lot of character and it's a lot of history in this place it's pretty cool yeah that's something you'll never see in the states yeah no it's something i love about ireland there's there's so much to see like i imagine the roof's got to be sealed pretty good too because you guys get a lot of rain yeah we got a lot of rain but uh looking we got no leaks here um here we got the original falcon s14 which i built back in 2013 um off season 13. we started using from 14 so i had a lot of success with this car across europe and in the middle east and then that's the first warehouse s15 which we built here in ireland um interesting story about the s15s is this one was built here in ireland and at the same time peter was building his car back in poland so i was just staying in touch with the team and we were back and forth with loads of pictures we built the cars in something like 10 or 12 weeks and flew them to the us so that whole fd journey came really quick and before we know it we're just living a dream i always thought those cars were built together so that was cool hearing that earlier i still remember on social media seen the clip with the two cars together in that cargo plane yeah and that was this car and that other car yeah that was the craziest ever yeah because we slightly missed the if we shipped them we would have missed long beach and i'm glad we didn't miss long beach still my favorite event to this day what a way to roll up right off the plane it was mind-blowing but uh yeah some of the best memories ever so it's pretty pretty cool this car will always stay the same still wearing a dented and bruised body kit can you overdrive it again yeah so it's missing the engine transmission few bits like that i have most parts for it to put it back together and i think it'd be a cool event to do like a good wood in or something you know something special but in combination i'm not sure it's literally like it sounds like me to a t with my 15 that's been sitting as a roller this is like a it's just a memory that i'll never get ready for sure so huge thanks to warthouse for gifting me the car after you know having such success and amazing memories with them um but it's something i'll never never change the s 14.9 which is the other car um that's in europe at the moment on the drift masters tour and we have the rx-7 which is at my friend michael's workshop and like 8 000 cars in the in the parking lot too yeah my parents are very very very kind to us uh they don't ever give us a hard time for the amount of cars between myself and my brothers um my runner runs his business dm sport and basically we maintain a lot of rally cars and drift cars and streetcars even so it's pretty cool one more detail on the lz festival that i haven't gotten a chance to mention yet because we're still finalizing the details is there now is a live stream link that you guys can check out if you are not able to make it in person to the event there's gonna be eight super high quality cameras documenting the event it's actually two days that you'll get access to and right now it's a pre-sale price so the price will go up if you wait just lzfestival.com and it'll give you more info there rolling up to a field and there's just these two things sitting there here we have the two ties for the evening wow yeah there's beaters as you can see hell yeah just what you want the elevation too we don't have that in florida yeah there's quite a bit of elevation in the field do you get air ever um not in this field but another feel you can get quite a lot of air i don't know i have never driven here so we'll see if we can get there it's been a while since i've been in a 335. is it originally this orange color uh i don't think so but i bought it and it was this color pretty cool i got this car for a steal i picked it up for three and a half thousand dollars and they're like really expensive over in europe or so i thought yeah compared to the states at least i got lucky for sure but that's why i don't have that much respect for it because it's it's just a bargain and it's fun it's fun to have a car you don't oh yeah you don't care about too much call in the room just for the gopher mount yeah it's a magnetic mound so i was looking for some steel in here i always just suction cup it to the dome light yeah yeah good idea but yeah i did a more irish style i love it oh there's the shade my first grass backy oh you can smell it yeah just stick it welcome to ireland we're moving okay i swear we're the amount of speed and angle you're just carrying it's not like forever that's fun no tire aware no it's good we can go here a while look at the dust when in ireland welcome to my neighbors just being around a 350z already makes me feel like we're at home you just feel at home yeah this is weird no angle i think foreign that's a good one hello i think i wouldn't know that time yeah this is what happens when we say one last time almost the last one always the last run that was a sick run yeah very good man your car worked that time yeah all right james i said i want a little taste to ireland so where'd you bring me supermax it's like the irish version of mcdonald's i was told the story that the guy that started this got mad because mcdonald's wouldn't let him sort of franchise here so he made his own yeah all right but it's quick it's fast you guys have had a busy day for your first day so yeah we didn't want to hold you up too long all right this is our super max i got a sandwich all right where were we super super super monster max whatever it was it was as expected it's an irish ripoff of mcdonald's that tastes like an irish rip off of mcdonald's pretty much but uh it's it's customary to do it is it normal to see that many like cars parked in the parking lot no that was you really i think you did that oh i was like damn there's like people be pulling up like stance cars and stuff and i think they wanted to see you eat supermax with their own eyes they were like this is this is a moment now i feel like it was a coincidence because i didn't post anything on my story about being there i know but then this i think they just assume you're in the area because you're with james so they might just be cruising the area which is there anyway we are now at group d because darren who darmachamara xfd driver has been in this workshop building three cars for about six years and they're going to be finished for your event this weekend the aussie festival and this is the first time anyone's gonna see all three completed other than darn which is pretty crazy including us so i'm excited we wasted all the daylight uh just kind of hanging out talking outside of the shop so but uh we're gonna show you a couple cool things before we head out here we got like a two-hour drive back so this is a horse hauler converted into a car hauler yeah so this would have taken like six eight horses to races or whatever and a lot of guys use these for so they've got a camper area already and they change the horse area to car transport pretty cool i'm always i love looking at rigs and i love looking at shops these are super common here because they're cheap because people would like just sell them for cheap and then you convert them very cheaply and put an awning on them and you got a race truck so let's look at uh we got two cars i want to show you guys one of darren's uh i guess is pretty famous this s13 right here yeah so this is what happens when you spend a lot of time on your own in covenant trying to make the coolest s13 you can so this is a engine that was an x falcon fd engine some of you guys might know it from the pontiac solstice oh this this was that engine this was that engine so this was saturn falcon for very long time darren uh was an ex-falcon driver nfd took it back and said let's put it into a more conventional chassis so you put it into an s13 crazy manifold this car weighs like eleven hundred kilos or one that has 100 kilos so super light all the stuff that's done to this is all about lightweight so like all the switch panels you'll see are all on the ground of the car to bring like all everything down as low as possible it's just been over engineered it's like my first gusset machine and just go gusset crazy on absolutely everything the wing looks like the wing is like sort of inspired this was inspired by group b rally cars from the 80s and then he decided to build a drift car with a group b 80s rally car which is as you do it's a chevy nascar motor so it's basically it's sound you'll hear it at the weekend but it sounds like a motorbike i've never heard a v8 rev like this before it's very sharp you can hear every single throttle but it's very aggressive it works really well he's won events with this car straight out of the box so it's darren's regular driver obviously it's left on drive so this original shell was used as a rental car for drivers like uh matt powers robbie nishida and those guys when they came over rob nishida actually had a big crash in this car and then when they went to rebuild it they said let's go crazy on it so this is a full-on competition car which will darren will be driving on the sunday of the lz festival and it's like a showpiece in itself it makes a ton of smoke and it's like a proper shredder lots of cool stuff floating around the shop i like the use of the containers too there's like a container office up here it's kind of stacked on top of other stuff this car under the cover is very very cool did you own this car at one point i used to own this car it didn't look anything like this so this is what happens when you sell a car to uh one of the royal family from the uae so tanaka seems a good friend of ours and darren's he said darren can you build me the wildest 86 crawler anyone's ever seen we both saw it with the cover off and i can guarantee you it is but we're gonna have a full reveal on that at the weekend so i know it's kind of annoying that you can't see it now but during the weekend this thing is gonna rip it looks sick it looks ridiculous it's probably the most ridiculous 86 anyone's ever seen so we're looking forward to it but we can't show it because he hasn't even seen it himself so he's gonna wait until he arrives he sees it then we can film it so it's pretty cool probably one of the coolest cars you guys are going to see at the festival so i wanted darren to talk about it himself why is this car so special completely unique it's a famous rally car that many people might know from the group b days of the 80s when rallying went kind of insane no rules-ish and uh it was always a dream of mine to build one and then this one is different to the rally car in a lot of ways um and it's a drift car it's on a rival drive but it's a quattro which means four and all sorts of crap but it's pretty cool can we see under the hood yep of course so one of the cool things about this even though it's a drift car you kept a very similar power plant to what it would have had in the day well it has to have the engine you know that was the the glory of the audi quattro it had this five-cylinder monster of an engine back in 1985. um so that had to go in it it was really tempting to put something else in for many years because this projects have been going for many years but it would have just ruined it i mean we would have been killed on the internet you know so power wise what uh what did this thing put down 700 just head under seven at the moment which is uh yeah on the dyno we use that's a lot of power so i'm extremely happy with the power so front mcpherson s chassis stuff you said audi lower control arms yeah it's it's a modified audi log controller which i'm just welding right now it's chassis knuckle uh sjc coilover s chassis rear subframe then s14 it's actually exactly the same wheelbase as an s14 which is which is handy um one cool thing is like from the center of the front wheel to my butt is um exactly the same as an s14 as well so hopefully it pivots really nicely like a silicon you know that's cool yeah you were saying there's only 20 of these body kits in existence well for 20 cars yeah originally in 85 86 there was 20 cars built of the s1 e2 which is evolution 2 so you were allowed build a basic car that you had to make 200 of and then you were allowed evolutions and they just went mental with the evolutions so there was 20 official rally then there's been a couple of models taken throughout the year and we managed to get we managed to get panels from bulgaria panels from germany all sorts of places to try and make this happen i can't imagine the difficulty of sourcing parts for something like this so you haven't drifted it yet but uh i did hear a fire up in one of dave's videos and it sounded wild yeah you'll hear it soon um what yesterday was it you're here two days sick so hopefully you can video it in action and all that kind of so you'll have this and this that'll kind of be like the the testing event at the festival this car there and then you'll be driving mostly probably your 13. yeah we get to we get to drive friday i presume you'll get to drive yeah as well so i'll take this for a spin if it's good then i'll do a full pull on it on saturday and sunday or whatever sick if it's trying to kill me every time i go out then we're under no pressure to do anything it just has to run drive and it's on anyway we've got a two hour drive back but it was cool getting to check out group d i appreciate the hospitality and we'll see you on friday see you friday cool bye-bye i'm gonna close the video out here like i said we've got a long drive thank you for uh making today such a jam-packed day a lot of irish in one day you got the full irish you got the super max you got the field drifting you got you got a lot yup but it's a long day so we got to get back get some sleep because we've got some more people coming tomorrow to meet yeah we gotta pick everyone up for the airport tomorrow i love you so i am going to do my best to try to upload daily for you guys leading up to the festival reminder live stream link is in the description check it out i'm going to be uploading in a kind of different time zone so whatever time this video goes up hopefully i'll have the next video at the same time but whatever i film with the event probably won't go up for a couple days so we can enjoy the event but i hope you guys enjoyed this video i've loved all the hospitality and all the love from you guys through instagram dms everything everyone's all stoked and all the things that we're doing out here and photos and stuff so it's really cool and i'm happy to be out here and i will see you guys tomorrow nobody knows youall right we're officially in ireland the weather's beautiful poor colette they lost their suitcase yeah that's us the good news is delta's giving you a shopping spree yeah i still don't know what that means but apparently we didn't get anything within reason dave from drift games is here picking this up and then i honestly have no idea what we're doing any of these days i'm pretty out of loop with the itinerary but it's going to be a good time so dude what's up i'm taking the taxi thing looks sick i had to buy this for this weekend because i didn't own a four-door car so i was like let's buy some of the fun so we bought a v8 manual converted skid machine you're not joking no really really that's funny like two weeks ago we want it it looks cool it's cool good to see you welcome to our yes good to see you dude do you guys drink coffee here we do all right you want some coffee yes let's go get some coffee please please please i'm gonna try to be somewhat touristy we're in like a little shopping plaza we're about to get an outdoor irish breakfast in this beautiful weather oh crazy we just sat down in this little breakfast restaurant the national newspaper has an article i've never seen anything like that before that's awesome that's like and you didn't even call in or like i never i knew that this is something i would never order but i feel like i had to do the full irish breakfast you have to do it if you're not this is like this is like a national dish i can i can make that out as eggs is this some sort of like bacon ham bacon yeah sausage yep don't know what that is this is pudding i'm gonna let you taste it before i tell you what it is because you won't eat it if i tell you what it is i'm not gonna eat him now no yeah we've been napping in the back of the taxi what was this about a two hour drive two and a half two and a half hour drive we're out in the countryside and we're actually going over to hang out with james dean today it's been a while since i've seen him it was actually back when he was driving fd in the u.s that i think we hung out last but today we're going to go and do some field drifting you're explaining to me the access to tracks isn't very common here so field drifting is kind of a thing that people do out here just practice yeah this is where most

yeah except this time you might hit a cow in the middle of the field there's no cows in the ice so this is like a guy's farmer's field that they're going to set up a little course on you'll also get to check out his workshop and all the cars that he has we're here with the man the myth the legend good to see you dude good to have you here welcome to ireland this is the coolest spot like when we pulled in off the road and like you pull up and you just see this thing sitting right in here yeah she's uh she's a good girl so this is my my workshop here uh quite small but um my brother has his

can check out if you are not able to make it in person to the event there's gonna be eight super high quality cameras documenting the event it's actually two days that you'll get access to and right now it's a pre-sale price so the price will go up if you wait just lzfestival.com and it'll give you more info there rolling up to a field and there's just these two things sitting there here we have the two ties for the evening wow yeah there's beaters as you can see hell yeah just what you want the elevation too we don't have that in florida yeah there's quite a bit of elevation in the field do you get air ever um not in this field but another feel you can get quite a lot of air i don't know i have never driven here so we'll see if we can get there it's been a while since i've been in a 335. is it originally this orange color uh i don't think so but i bought it and it was this color pretty cool i got this car for a steal i picked it up for three and a half thousand dollars and they're like really expensive over in europe or so i thought yeah compared to the states at least i got lucky for sure but that's why i don't have that much respect for it because it's it's just a bargain and it's fun it's fun to have a car you don't oh yeah you don't care about too much call in the room just for the gopher mount yeah it's a magnetic mound so i was looking for some steel in here i always just suction cup it to the dome light yeah yeah good idea but yeah i did a more irish style i love it oh there's the shade my first grass backy oh you can smell it yeah just stick it welcome to ireland we're moving okay i swear we're the amount of speed and angle you're just carrying it's not like forever that's fun no tire aware no it's good we can go here a while look at the dust when in ireland welcome to my neighbors just being around a 350z already makes me feel like we're at home you just feel at home yeah this is weird no angle i think foreign that's a good one hello i think i wouldn't know that time yeah this is what happens when we say one last time almost the last one always the last run that was a sick run yeah very good man your car worked that time yeah all right james i said i want a little taste to ireland so where'd you bring me supermax it's like the irish version of mcdonald's i was told the story that the guy that started this got mad because mcdonald's wouldn't let him sort of franchise here so he made his own yeah all right but it's quick it's fast you guys have had a busy day for your first day so yeah we didn't want to hold you up too long all right this is our super max i got a sandwich all right where were we super super super monster max whatever it was it was as expected it's an irish ripoff of mcdonald's that tastes like an irish rip off of mcdonald's pretty much but uh it's it's customary to do it is it normal to see that many like cars parked in the parking lot no that was you really i think you did that oh i was like damn there's like people be pulling up like stance cars and stuff and i think they wanted to see you eat supermax with their own eyes they were like this is this is a moment now i feel like it was a coincidence because i didn't post anything on my story about being there i know but then this i think they just assume you're in the area because you're with james so they might just be cruising the area which is there anyway we are now at group d because darren who darmachamara xfd driver has been in this workshop building three cars for about six years and they're going to be finished for your event this weekend the aussie festival and this is the first time anyone's gonna see all three completed other than darn which is pretty crazy including us so i'm excited we wasted all the daylight uh just kind of hanging out talking outside of the shop so but uh we're gonna show you a couple cool things before we head out here we got like a two-hour drive back so this is a horse hauler converted into a car hauler yeah so this would have taken like six eight horses to races or whatever and a lot of guys use these for so they've got a camper area already and they change the horse area to car transport pretty cool i'm always i love looking at rigs and i love looking at shops these are super common here because they're cheap because people would like just sell them for cheap and then you convert them very cheaply and put an awning on them and you got a race truck so let's look at uh we got two cars i want to show you guys one of darren's uh i guess is pretty famous this s13 right here yeah so this is what happens when you spend a lot of time on your own in covenant trying to make the coolest s13 you can so this is a engine that was an x falcon fd engine some of you guys might know it from the pontiac solstice oh this this was that engine this was that engine so this was saturn falcon for very long time darren uh was an ex-falcon driver nfd took it back and said let's put it into a more conventional chassis so you put it into an s13 crazy manifold this car weighs like eleven hundred kilos or one that has 100 kilos so super light all the stuff that's done to this is all about lightweight so like all the switch panels you'll see are all on the ground of the car to bring like all everything down as low as possible it's just been over engineered it's like my first gusset machine and just go gusset crazy on absolutely everything the wing looks like the wing is like sort of inspired this was inspired by group b rally cars from the 80s and then he decided to build a drift car with a group b 80s rally car which is as you do it's a chevy nascar motor so it's basically it's sound you'll hear it at the weekend but it sounds like a motorbike i've never heard a v8 rev like this before it's very sharp you can hear every single throttle but it's very aggressive it works really well he's won events with this car straight out of the box so it's darren's regular driver obviously it's left on drive so this original shell was used as a rental car for drivers like uh matt powers robbie nishida and those guys when they came over rob nishida actually had a big crash in this car and then when they went to rebuild it they said let's go crazy on it so this is a full-on competition car which will darren will be driving on the sunday of the lz festival and it's like a showpiece in itself it makes a ton of smoke and it's like a proper shredder lots of cool stuff floating around the shop i like the use of the containers too there's like a container office up here it's kind of stacked on top of other stuff this car under the cover is very very cool did you own this car at one point i used to own this car it didn't look anything like this so this is what happens when you sell a car to uh one of the royal family from the uae so tanaka seems a good friend of ours and darren's he said darren can you build me the wildest 86 crawler anyone's ever seen we both saw it with the cover off and i can guarantee you it is but we're gonna have a full reveal on that at the weekend so i know it's kind of annoying that you can't see it now but during the weekend this thing is gonna rip it looks sick it looks ridiculous it's probably the most ridiculous 86 anyone's ever seen so we're looking forward to it but we can't show it because he hasn't even seen it himself so he's gonna wait until he arrives he sees it then we can film it so it's pretty cool probably one of the coolest cars you guys are going to see at the festival so i wanted darren to talk about it himself why is this car so special completely unique it's a famous rally car that many people might know from the group b days of the 80s when rallying went kind of insane no rules-ish and uh it was always a dream of mine to build one and then this one is different to the rally car in a lot of ways um and it's a drift car it's on a rival drive but it's a quattro which means four and all sorts of crap but it's pretty cool can we see under the hood yep of course so one of the cool things about this even though it's a drift car you kept a very similar power plant to what it would have had in the day well it has to have the engine you know that was the the glory of the audi quattro it had this five-cylinder monster of an engine back in 1985. um so that had to go in it it was really tempting to put something else in for many years because this projects have been going for many years but it would have just ruined it i mean we would have been killed on the internet you know so power wise what uh what did this thing put down 700 just head under seven at the moment which is uh yeah on the dyno we use that's a lot of power so i'm extremely happy with the power so front mcpherson s chassis stuff you said audi lower control arms yeah it's it's a modified audi log controller which i'm just welding right now it's chassis knuckle uh sjc coilover s chassis rear subframe then s14 it's actually exactly the same wheelbase as an s14 which is which is handy um one cool thing is like from the center of the front wheel to my butt is um exactly the same as an s14 as well so hopefully it pivots really nicely like a silicon you know that's cool yeah you were saying there's only 20 of these body kits in existence well for 20 cars yeah originally in 85 86 there was 20 cars built of the s1 e2 which is evolution 2 so you were allowed build a basic car that you had to make 200 of and then you were allowed evolutions and they just went mental with the evolutions so there was 20 official rally then there's been a couple of models taken throughout the year and we managed to get we managed to get panels from bulgaria panels from germany all sorts of places to try and make this happen i can't imagine the difficulty of sourcing parts for something like this so you haven't drifted it yet but uh i did hear a fire up in one of dave's videos and it sounded wild yeah you'll hear it soon um what yesterday was it you're here two days sick so hopefully you can video it in action and all that kind of so you'll have this and this that'll kind of be like the the testing event at the festival this car there and then you'll be driving mostly probably your 13. yeah we get to we get to drive friday i presume you'll get to drive yeah as well so i'll take this for a spin if it's good then i'll do a full pull on it on saturday and sunday or whatever sick if it's trying to kill me every time i go out then we're under no pressure to do anything it just has to run drive and it's on anyway we've got a two hour drive back but it was cool getting to check out group d i appreciate the hospitality and we'll see you on friday see you friday cool bye-bye i'm gonna close the video out here like i said we've got a long drive thank you for uh making today such a jam-packed day a lot of irish in one day you got the full irish you got the super max you got the field drifting you got you got a lot yup but it's a long day so we got to get back get some sleep because we've got some more people coming tomorrow to meet yeah we gotta pick everyone up for the airport tomorrow i love you so i am going to do my best to try to upload daily for you guys leading up to the festival reminder live stream link is in the description check it out i'm going to be uploading in a kind of
