The First Week of January and a Big Giveaway

As I sit down to write this article, I am excited to share with you that I have a big giveaway planned for early January. The reason behind this giveaway is that I need to build a car quickly and give it away before I embark on my trip to Australia on February 14th. This trip has been a long time coming, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to explore the country and experience all its unique culture and attractions.

I've been preparing for this trip for months, and I'm eager to share some of the exciting events that are lined up for me in Australia. One of the highlights of my trip is an event at Archerfield Drift Park, which promises to be a thrilling experience for drifters and racing enthusiasts alike. Although I'm not entirely familiar with the park's name, I know it's going to be an unforgettable night of drifting under the stars.

A Special Message from Sam

To all my subscribers out there, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued support. Your enthusiasm and encouragement mean the world to me, and I'm constantly inspired by the creativity and energy that you bring to our community. Whether it's through comments, messages, or social media posts, I love hearing from all of you and feeling connected to each other.

Recently, I received a very special package in the mail from Japan, courtesy of one of my subscribers, Matthieu. This thoughtful gift was a surprise bag filled with snacks and food, which I'm eager to try. The packaging looked almost like a bag of doughnuts, and I couldn't wait to open it and discover what treats were inside.

A Musical Collaboration

In another exciting development, I've recently been gifted a seven-string guitar by Matthieu himself. We had previously discussed the basics of playing guitar together, and I was thrilled when he offered me his instrument while he was away on vacation. The guitar has proven to be an incredible tool for me, allowing me to explore new sounds and textures in my music.

I've been having a blast experimenting with my new guitar, using it to create unique drum tracks and even attempting to record some music. However, I must admit that the quality of my recording equipment is still a work in progress. I'm currently exploring different options for improving the sound quality of my videos, including investing in an interface that will allow me to plug directly into a computer.

A Nighttime Drifting Adventure

For tomorrow's video, I'll be heading out to SW (I think) for a nighttime drifting event at Archerfield Drift Park. As you can probably guess, I'm still not entirely familiar with the park's name, but I know it's going to be an incredible experience. I'd love to hear from all of you what you'd like to see in tomorrow's video – would you prefer me to focus on documenting my drifting skills or maybe talk about some of the challenges that come with filming at night? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

The Road Ahead

Finally, I want to take a moment to express my excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. After Australia, I have a long list of events and projects lined up, including a series of drifting competitions and music releases. It's going to be an epic year, filled with music, speed, and all sorts of adrenaline-fueled fun. I'm thrilled to have such an incredible community of supporters behind me, and I promise to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of drifting and music.

So, that's it for today – I hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look at my life as a YouTuber and drift enthusiast. Don't forget to subscribe and hit that notification bell, as there will be plenty more updates coming your way in the days and weeks ahead.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's one of those days whenever it goes a while without me being at the warehouse or there's a break or just I haven't been here in a while it's always like a day of catch up kind of just talking to everybody figuring out where everything's at and kind of what needs to be done so today I was mostly just hanging out with the guys and kind of talking over what needs to be done on the cars what has been done what still needs to be done skyline is back on the road and running so that's sick we're gonna let her sit tonight though because the battery is drained the needs from the charger yes I offer W back on the road they replace the actual with one they were able to order but they actually did as well order me axles that are rated at thousand horsepower a little bit different than the ones we use on the drift cars we'll have to talk about those and show them a little bit when we get them in but I'm excited to take this car home I haven't had any cars at the house so I'm gonna drive this and then Tom you can drive the Mustang over and then we'll take the 350z back to the warehouse cuz that's just insane in my driveway it's been a minute since I've had some fun with her that's so good how's fun this car so fast not fast enough before we launch into the first topic of this video which is gonna be BMW turbo stuff I have this big meth of GoPro stuff that's just kind of scattered throughout my house and like check out this organization in my backpack right this just a bunch of GoPro stuff missing memory cards missing batteries I'm gonna try to get everything on the charger so I can get my stuff sorted again okay so first thing I want to talk about with you guys and a lot of stuff I want to cover as you can tell from the title of this video this car right here I'm gonna nothing to do with this car this is my gen 220 or 60 that I have my house are before I switched to the G Series I'm gonna put this turbine down because I don't feel like home hey this car he doesn't own a rotor turbo on I think I've told you guys about this before it's one that motive cells with their kit I think it's rated to maybe 720 or 750 wheel and the car makes about 750 wheels so we're using every bit of that turbo we possibly can the musician with this car that I'm not stoked on when active tuned it they said that it lost the horsepower between pulls just because the I ETS were getting so high and the tune with the stock D and me on this car is very safe so when the IITs start going up it starts pulling timing and it gets much safer and much slower so the solution to that is to not use the turbo at its maximum capability because when you get out of like a turbos efficiency zone and it starts to create a lot of heat and that's why if you ever look at a graph and you start pushing trimmers like crazy they'll start to kind of taper off at certain boost levels and kind of stop making a power so the solution you go to a better turbo thankfully I haven't good relationship with Garrett the question is I can't decide whether I want into a 3582 or a 3584 on the car as far as I know and 54s don't really like making more than eight hundred wheel without being built and I don't want to blow it up so since the 3582 is rated to 800 I think if I did a 3582 with a bigger AR we could have a good school probably better school than we have on the car right now I think it would easily make 750 so like the same number that it's making now but the turbo would be working way less hard to make that power number um I think I hope it would just bolt right up cuz that would make it super super easy just shoot over to active and having reaching the car but I think having a more responsive to Roma's car and one that not just made a little bit more power but was more consistent in between polls I think I would like much more Rizzo also sounds kinda weird doesn't like make cool turbo noises so that's gonna be fine with BMW I wanted to wait until it was all worked out and bow then before switching turbos and now it has to be tuned on it it handles well it puts the power down so now I can try to make the car a little bit more like I want so you saw the thumbnail this video was evil to me baby turbo in front of my BMW talking about the giveaway so let's talk about giveaways all right financial situations or any of that but you guys are very smart and you can probably figure out where I'm going with this there is a financial situation approaching that I was not predicting and in order to better prepare myself for that I told you guys that I was planning on doing a giveaway next year everyone was asking me what I do the next one after the community I'm gonna try to do it sooner rather than later and even though it's gonna kind of take away from the current products that I have ongoing just kind of where I need to put my time in my effort right now so when I get back from this next trip I think we're just gonna jump headfirst into a very very cool very very special giveaway car that will be very similar to the creme Z in terms of how its structured we're purchasing merchandise we'll get you an entry into a basically a raffle to win this car that we will build on the channel it's gonna be a super quick turnaround time but unlike the creme Z it's not going to be a budget build we are gonna use some really really nice parts on this car also as a reminder like some of the people that like saw the creams evil that didn't fully understand the context behind the cream z was basically me wanting to build a budget Z on the channel to show you guys the cheapest way to build a really Brad drift car and it accomplished that because I didn't I didn't need a bunch of Z for myself so giving away I was like okay I can build this car with a purpose and believe it or not the guy that won it still drifting that car so strong so sick and it looks good this car it's gonna be a clean Street car kind of like similar build style to my r32 except without a livery and it's not gonna be a drift car so I really liked Trevor's give away build that he did that s14 with the 2j so this car will be kind of similar to that in terms of just like a really sick street car with really good parts that makes good power and will be a lot of fun for one of you guys to win so that is something that you can look forward to being released probably maybe sometime in the first or second week of January I have to do it then because I need to basically build a car quickly and then give it away before I go to Australia which is on February 14th so if you guys haven't seen I need the Flyers going around I'm going to visit Luke Fink and he's going to set up a bunch of rad stuff for me to do well I'm out there and we are doing one big event at Archerfield drift park and I don't even know where it is I'm so bad with names I don't want to say the wrong name so I'll put the flyer on the screen but that's really exciting I don't wanted to go to Australia for a really long time and I got to do this giveaway I got to get this knocked out before I go out to Australia because after Australia I like the years gonna be full fling and we're gonna have a lot of stuff going on with drifting and competition stuff and all lots of bills and it's gonna be a sick year there's a lot of really cool stuff in the works but yeah the Australian chef is gonna be really cool definitely important me any letter you guys out there I know there's been a huge amount of people asking me to come to Australia so I'm excited that Luke has put all this together and I'll be like more details about that to come but I feel like those were those the main things they want to talk about is there anything else yeah okay we can go do other stuff now got the weirdest package today now I get package from Japan all the time but this one legit look like like almost like a bag of doughnuts and it said snacks and food like who in the world would send me snacks or food from Japan and I was like Sam if you guys remember Sam Sam it on YouTube when we drove oka John's s15 found me Japanese cereal which he knows I like and it's coffee flavored so I'm excited to try this I don't know if I want to try right now because I'm not really hungry well that was such a nice nice thought probably like they everything I've got for Christmas so far my mom and sister got me a really nice suitcase so that says a lot as I check this out this is really really cool so a subscriber by the name of Matthieu actually lended me lent d-delenn to me or did he lend me he Len he let me borrow his seven string while he was away on vacation we were talking about the open house he taught me with some guitar stuff before and I've been toying with you here and there it's really cool it's actually in drop a so I can like I can hit those low notes so I've been messing with it more so with like drum tracks and stuff just because it's fun to just like strum really really low and make lots of angry grunt whatever you call them little noises so there's this cool drum track that I found on YouTube I'm just gonna like literally do the worst recording ever I try to like make GarageBand work and like record into GarageBand I got complicated so we're just gonna we're just gonna play and I'll just record with my good ol tripod alright guys I think that's it for today's video I'm not really happy with the sound quality pretty garbage I tried even using like a better microphone that I have I have like a rode mic on a DSLR still maybe I have the volume up too high I don't know but I'm gonna order is it called an interface I think that like plugs into a computer so I'll basically just play right into a computer and then maybe I can record stuff a little bit better so I place up that into the video it'll sound cooler so anyway thank you guys for watching tomorrow we are gonna go drifting at night there's an appreciation a driver appreciation event that's really cheap so we're gonna head over to SW probably to have the cream car let me know what you guys want to see because I am always very challenged when it's a nighttime different because it's hard to get good footage so if there's anything particular you want to see you want to see me try you want to see me try to document film talk about whatever let me know and I'll do my best to do it because I want to take advantage of that time and try to make a good video for you guys because after that we're hitting the road by that I mean we're in the runway by that I
