CAR FEATURE : Matt Power's S14 Zenki

Two words : absolutely stunning.

The car together with its owner simply wins the most charisma award and this is why we love motorsports. A friend of mine defines motorsports as - do first, think later. As cool as it is, the silvia has proven itself, a zenki. Not like any other. Sometimes we are just bored of looking at bling bling Koukis. Thats when Matt comes into play.

Why am i not surprised if this bad boy looks even better, sideways.

see what i mean? charisma.

KA24det sits comfortably in a very DIY concept engine bay. 5zigen FN01R-C 17 x 10j in the front and Work VS-XX in 17 x 11j at the rear. This is a classic case of one man's food is another man's poison. If this gem is landed into someone else's hands, it might be out with a clean kouki look and lose all its character.

Tsuiso battle scars and green tape over shinny paint and funky decals. Which would you rather?

Floor scrapper king in action Formula D 2009. What a beauty.

CAR FEATURE : John Giggles' 350z

This is what i call a ONE-NIL car. Why ONE-NIL? If this menacing Z ever land next to your ride at a traffic light, the score is 1-0. in this case i don't have to go on further about who's the winner in this case. As sleek as it looks, it carries the 90% of all the stock features from the factory and all that is there is a new set of wheels and tints. After looking at his car, every other 350 appeals to me as it is begging to be this slammed. Its one hellaflush.

Everything about the suspension is wrong. The awful setup consist of a 5 gallon air tank and a 4800cc compressor by Universal Air Suspension. To me, its deserves proper shocks but it wont be this low. Its gonna be just low, or what john had did to this car, Flo-rida's Low.

About them kickass wheels, john definitely done it right, a set of unbelievable Weds Kranze. Vishunu with SBC finish. 19" x 10j with 225/35/19 in front and 19" x 11j with 245/35/19 at the rear. Being the only exterior feature of this car, this rims indeed came with the X-factor.

Catch you driftneyland looneys soon.

More Angle?

All these while, drifters are very concerned about how much angle their wheels could turn. The more the merrier. It all started with the all time favorite steering rack end spacers, which i call LORD OF THE RING. It started of as many drifters' precious. Once the best innovation in drifting, now 'junk'.

Lord of the ring (LOTR)

As soon as drifting was removed from the mountain passes to Formula One tracks, everyone had their own pair of LOTRs and drifters are requesting for more angle. LOTR gives you steering angle from 30+˚ till 40+˚. In D1GP today, the japanese heroes are doing 50+ degrees.

max angle?

I remember my first day of design class during my university days, the lecturer gave us each a blank paper and we were told to sketch a design of our own television. Everyone drew the rectangular box, and the lecturer said, 'think out of the box.' why wasn't my television round? just because all the movies are filmed in a rectangular constraint? that simply fixed our television design since the day it was invented.

then and again, the japanese had think out of the box, and gave us this. the hyper knuckle kit.

The GP sports hyper knuckle does not need any introduction. What it does?

Wonders.

It has a whopping one thousand USD price tag and many have claimed to have broken it. It was even found to be discontinued in certain places, but just as we start to forget about the hyper knuckle hype, GP sports sponsored Masato Kawabata showed us the drift you can never forget, the video that you can replay for a whole month and yet not get bored of it. I still did not get what happened there and people will still be talking about it until someone else does it again. its as though physics did not play a role since he flipped the ebrake.

SPEECHLESS.

If you are free in the weekends, do drop by the saturday night drift event and catch a piece of action yourself. I will be back with more updates about the malaysian super knuckle.

Driftneylanders please stay tuned for more sideways action.

Yes. I made a blog.
