@@nightreapers3425 only 1 of his builds are a track build but ok.

@@daduncker20D yeah, that's also the only point that you could be right about 😂😂😂

He's not a drifter, and definitely not grassroots

@@DolphinDivingChamp That's the point, he WAY overbuilt his 350z and he started drifting in that. WTF

@@nightreapers3425 No I mean he should see this to LEARN from what Chelsea and what it means to be a drifter

Also he knows what’s he talking about really smart dude...

An upgrade made necessary by the shit show that was FD pro 2 this past weekend. If those Pro 2 guys were focusing more on their, as you say, driver upgrades, they would have had better control rather than showing up with a 900 or 1000 hp monster they can't handle outside of perfect conditions. To be clear, I'm not shitting on them, I admire them hell out of them being able to even be there, I just wish that the pro 2 series itself was less focused on being a clone of Pro, and more focused on getting the best drivers into the Pro series where they need to build the monster drift machine. As it is, lots of these Pro 2 guys are building their own machines, yes they get sponsorships, but not often is it complete, or enough to let them go full time, which limits their time on track, preventing the level of dedication to practice that a pro driver may have.

@@teamredshirt Pro2 should be a Street Legal class

@@ilham7345 ooh that would be pretty interesting.

@@ilham7345 Pro Am should be street legal and Pro 2 should be no engine swaps, factory fuel tank and no rear mount radiators.

@@bigdfitness5020 other than fuel tank, I agree. fuel cell plays huge part on safety in contact motorsport like this. we don't want 1976 German GP incident in drift competition yes?

@@TheZulajin here in quebec because of the snow they salt the road like crazy so our cars are rusted like crazy!!! Everytime i work on my beater i snap a bolt/ a bolt is stuck thats a pain in the ass evertime

@@TheZulajin well 4x4 is great for not getting stuck and helping people who are stuck lol but with a rwd its endless drifting haha

Me right now 😆

depends on how expensive the trackday is.

@@comethiburs2326 yeah but a cheap car plus the thousand laps is still cheaper that an overbuilt car plus the same thousand laps.

@@kirkarvint.2017 where i live, it's ~700 bucks a weekend of racing, so with all costs included (fuel, tyres, transport and on) it's close to 1200. So yeah, should i have the money to burn, i'm not going to track a bone stock car. everything is going to be built so it's easy to fix, quick to take apart and tune. with a proper race car shell and suspension setup, i have room for upgrading the engine; that can stay stock for training. besides, we also have noise regulations. so cheap mods like pod filters and straight pipes are useless.

High horse power figures shine in drag racing, balance is key in circuit racing. I'll take a cornering monster like the mid engine nsx over any overbuilt high maintenance vehicle everytime for circuit racing, another good one is the Audi quattro all wheel drive all the time stock suspension is really good too!

@@brandenrussell2647 you dont want to track a quattro, though. maintenance is high $$$ and these cars are not easy to work on for the most. audis are infamous for that "remove the entire front clip to replace the water pump and other accessories" deal. granted it unbolts quick, but still. you know why shops take 4+K for a new chain and water pump. best budget track car is a miata, second would be a 3 series bimmer. third would be a sn95/98 stang. those cars are easy to get parts for, easy to work on, and powerful enough for training.

keichi tsuchiya my friend.

@@costabraaapa7994 I think he's referring to Katsuhiro Ueo, Tsuchiya-San never competed in D1. He was a founder and a judge. Check out some Ueo battles, he's got nerves of steel

keep in mind that was crank. i have an old d1 motor{us emissions airbox bs for reggo in cali} and its 160 crank. with the itbs they ran they said it was 180-190 crank. and yes i had a d1 engine in that ratshit blue beercan XD its going in my clean low mile shell. beercan is getting the 2azfe like taka aono 86

D S na?

frik ? Yup

D S loves it

Aint that's the truth. Simple seat time cars are the best.

no smoke no angle sounds fun lol

All the best drifters play Assetto Corsa 😂 I learned on it and I don't drive in real life but not bragging but my seat time in-game where I don't have any G force on Console as well (which has hard cars to drift) if I learned to drift in real life. I'd progress to near an amateur comp level double/triple as fast...I think, well I hope. If I wasn't scared of the feeling of speed which I'll admit looks fucking scary when you're drifting close to ways and on fast narrow tracks 😂

@@FlukeyKent. you dont need a crazy gaming pc to play that on pc so you can get the mods. get a cheap optiplex and throw some ram and a cheap 1070 gpu. i run it on a 970 pos laptop

E30 is better

Bimmers are wack. For that 1500 I'm gonna buy a mustang with a 5 speed only because the Camaro has no angle

@@JesusRivera-oe1jw I prefer jdm cars and cars that can turn corners since we have those in the uk

Tyy Dawson e30s aren’t cheap out here 😅. E36 m3 are skyrocketing. Haha getting around $7k for a US spec m3 in decent condition!!!

@@Revo900 oof, I can buy a 330i for £2000 - 2500 with little to no rust

It comes down to they don't have trailers, trucks, garages, etc so their cars simply can't be as modified as they would want them to be, which forces them to have really simple rad cars most of the time. Also they had more turbo cars available. Great video idea, I might try that today!

I think the full interior is so important, bring back comfortable street cars! The Midwest street style in the US, and Aaron’s TXSL series are probably the closet we will get to Japan’s street cars. Although in the Midwest/Chicago area, those guys drive stupid low cars.

I say the same about engines. More fun to push the smaller engine to the max than it is the have a bigger engine you run slower. Why have a 700hp v8 when you dont even use half of that most of the time. When a 300hp 4cyl will give you just as much joy or even more. I dont think i made any sense. Im high.

@@hrtbrk1 🤣

Agreed

@@hrtbrk1 Its way more fun getting the most power out of a small engine.

can we bring our own cars for pointers on how we are screwing up? im good enough to link grange every time in my 86 but i could be so much better.

Daniel This.

It’s funny how all the best drivers agree about 300hp is all u need

That's how much power my 04 mustang v6 has because it's a simple daily driver/drift car

hey that's my dream number

See: Mustang

Miatas

Stop it why would you not want power and reliability? High horsepower four cylinder and 6 cylinder are notorious for being unreliable that's why they build so many spare motors and are limited in how many laps they can do

That engine is worth way more than the car. You can pick a TI up for less than $1000. Your best bang for your buck is to pick up a early model e36 with the m50 non vanos motors. Super reliable motor with descent power, it’s an iron block too so if you plan on turbo charging it can hold 400+hp to the wheels with stock internals

@@budgetdrift6403 thank you so much for the valuable information, kudos and banzais for you my friend

That would be soo nice! I am working on a '93 325i at the moment to get it ready for technical inspection (TÜV in germany). I want to learn drifting with that thing but I also don't have that much money to spend^^

@@budgetdrift6403 you are 100% correct.. I have an 84. e30 with stock M50 from 92. and power to weight ratio is great for drifting. 190hp in a 1 ton car is cheap, and it's more than enough power to go sideways

If you watch his KZfaq channel. He goes through a lot of dos and dont for a long lasting e36 drift build. Its mainly maintenance everything before drift mods. After maintenance is done or up to par., drift mods should be welded diff>coilovers>bucket seat> angle mods>more power. Chelsea is still rocking the stock e brake on his e36. Is a hydro worth it? Maybe.

I agree!

Need vs want friend. Sometimes you need what you want

@@Jamesfurtado128 it was a joke towards retards who spend 10k to lsx swap their already good cars

@@tokeypokey some people enjoy ls swap for street.

Nakamura and Chelsea are both some of my favourite drifters for both their style and attitude. They both know power isn’t everything and know a simple setup will always be plenty. -also when I heard he was running 265s on what was a stock SR is insane.

BeBobFerrari99 why was nakamura kicked from D1

301 from what I read caught street drifting

@@liamcrawford1902 He lost his license because he got caught street drifting. D1 requires the drivers to have a driver's license. That was a while back though, he just recently competed in the D1 exhibition match in Tokyo.

So wait, what exactly abut his driving lets him be able to not pop a tyranny on 256s anyway?

How well does the car work and what is your local track?

As a beginner, I couldn’t be happier with the car. I drive with Club Loose in San Antonio in our tiny little parking lot layouts. I’ll definitely be making it out to Lonestar Bash and Winter Matsuri at the end of the year once I have more experience!

We used to share the same trailer and travel the country back in the 2008-2009 time period.

BrownyCakes1 def is pats acres

Well a working hand brake could help lol.

My 83 f2t corolla 150hp does fine with no handbrake. Its me that doesn't do fine

That's why he has the 350

I need to drift there with my buddy Chelsea soon! Last time I tried it was flooded.

Where do I find this podcast?

AJ Rubio Spotify or iTunes

Ryan Olson thanks!

Ryan Olson can’t seem to find Chelsea on Spotify

Or check out his KZfaq channel, oh wait he hasn't posted in 2 months!

Go with a g 35 bro get a plenum spacer and just when you take it to the track check the oil after every few runs.

Drifting comps are fun because they get everyone together! You get a chance to drive with great drivers that you normally wouldn't get a chance to drift with, so they have their upsides! I did a season of D1GP just so I could tandem with rad D1GP drivers from Japan with Chelsea, it was so much fun and so cool.

@@LoneStarDrift if there was a comp where everyone had 15" wheels and 200hp or less i MIGHT be more inclined but judging usually just takes away from the individuality of driving style bc you need to be on this line at that angle. i have no intention of getting a 300+hp car with 18 inch wheels anytime soon just to make everyone else excited. i prefer to sharpen my skills with 150hp and u can't compete like that and expect to have fun if u lose before the first corner

And take off the shades.

And "hat"

Seriously guy looks like a douche

I still can’t tell if this is a joke or not

Agreed chelsea is chill asf dudes rude

subtract all the "m3" from your comment and you are basically right :D

But nusted.

AK Media great cars, if only VQs sounded better!

lol

@@ryanolson6794 holy shit they sound awful.

@@ryanolson6794 the only car I would put quieter mufflers on.

Yep, everything about 350z’s and VQs make for a great simple car but fuck, I can’t drive something that sounds like an elephant!

A VQ 240sx is not over built, that would be a super reliable cheap car to drive long term. It gets my stamp of approval, even if my ears hate you lol.

It all depends on how its done. A vq swap done to make as much power as possible and having to check every possible failure point after 3 laps, then its definitely over built. If you like chelsea and have a cool down be a lap around the track following instead of drifting then its cool even if the VQ is murder on the ears. It also depends on experience. My first year learning to drift, having a turbo kit on my miata was too overbuilt compared to the stock s13 hatch (we have sr20s stock in NZ) i use now and just go through 40 laps an event

Get a diff! It makes such a huge difference that it should really be the first or second mod to a drift car - either before or after a seat.

@@NGNMYokohama I'm getting a 1.5 clutch type from cusco. Honestly it is day and night difference from when I drove friends cars. I've been sending it open diff for 5 years haha. All of my upgrades prior were suspension pieces.

It was a popular video in this channel, I think a lot of people agree!
