Had a really fun weekend. Got about 20 or so runs in before I blew a left front tire mid-slide. Got my wheel pretty good!



and a quick compilation of some different shots i got. some photos from others at the end

New event on the schedule!

Time to get down to business!

It's been a while since an update...

So, many things have changed since last season... including my car. I have really lacked on the updates here... but that'll be changing again as we're about to face a new season.

and now to unveil...

1991 Nissan 240sx
Silvia Front (so I call it a sileighty, some say silfourty, say whatever you want)
many goodies.
it's powered by a fairly stock SR20DET motorswap.
And this season, like the last car ended the last season, it will be kept cool with the help of Mishimoto Radiators! Thanks again Mishimoto.





The new car managed to make it into one event before getting parked for winter. Took it to Nashville in november... and here's some of the media.

Start of the day... first drifts EVER in the car. Suspension was all out of wack. Rest of the DOA guys are also in this video.



Next video is one of the first runs out on track... trying to dial in suspension...



Finally getting adjusted to things... got the suspension a little closer, was getting a little more confident



and of course... here's a couple photos. This first one makes a pretty good wallpaper.

SEDC II media.

Practice day held a little bit of a hard time in the first corner... but sunday practice I was nailing it. A ton of pressure on me during qualifying caused me to flub my runs. But I'm still more than happy with my performance.

Team DOA... guys. We rocked the house. We spent all weekend talking to people and inviting people back out.

Thanks to Mishimoto radiators. Thanks to you guys my overheating problems from last event were non-existant at this event! I told everyone about how great your radiator was working!

Will post more media as I find it.

Here's a couple photos of what was new for this event.


Radiator, and hoses.


28.9 mm sway bar. (made a huge difference!)

Next event on the list...

That's right... I'm in. Top 32 singles comp here we go. Got some work to do still, of course. But what fun would it be if there wasn't.

had some overheating problems last event... although it was hot as heck. And I definitely need to AT LEAST stiffen up the rear a little. Need faster initiations.

I guess we'll see what happens. I'll give it my all!

Triple threat 2 round 3 HD!

yay for HD video.

cruddy editing. And youtube is lame... just for the record.

Triple threat 2 round 3

Started off the day sloppy but it felt good by the end of the day. Here's the media stuff I've found so far. More to come.

go pro camera

played around with fitment and made a little test video.

tires... headlights.

Well. Was out last night in the wal-mart parking lot till 2 AM swapping headlights. My bricks had broken clips, and chipped glass... and this guy had triple projectors (which i kinda like) with HID's, with all perfect mounts and such. He wanted to trade straight up. So I did.

Also, bought six NEW tires for the drift event... I'm insane....
