Weapons of Choice
2003 G35 Coupe
“The Riptide Wrecker”
The work horse of the team. You can always count on this car to be out on track, lap after lap, for as many tires as you can feed it. Often a little beat up and living on what seems to be the blessing of the VQ gods, this mostly stock G will hold its own with even the most dialed cars on track.
After 12 different owners in its life time, its found its soulmate in Paul. The two of them go together like ink knowing exactly where the paper is. Often boasting a slick candy paintjob on the roof and broken fiberglass on the ground it caries the spirit of what a drift car really is. A machine put together to have fun, without the fear of ruining nice parts from a weekend of rubbing paint with the homies.
From humble beginnings and many mentors this car has grown right alongside Paul over the years and developed into a proven championship willing chassis.

2004 Lexus IS300
The most put together car on the roster. There has not been a single bolt that has not been touched on it. With the emphasis on the engine bay, this car has grown into what everyone thought a drift car would sound like growing up rumbling around the pits and rocketing out of grid filling the grandstands with sweet JZ goodness. Starting out its life as a bone stock car, every part that has gone into what makes this as it sits today is a testament to chasing consistency and aggression.

“Low n’ Slow”
Bought in 2022 broken on the side of the road with a bonded, salvaged and out of state title she was in bad shape. After replacing the trans, fixing the torn out subframe mounts, some much needed maintance, and jumping through the hoops at the DMV she was revived. She sat like that for quite a while, some small things here and there but still looking the same. When the boys said they needed me for the SXD challenge that’s when I knew it was time to get serious. Within 2 months she got painted, bucket seat, homemade angle kit, new diff, clutch, and a full livery. My idea with this car is to make a very well set up street car but still be competitive. Full interior, heat and ac, working cruise control, and last but not least a good sound system are all mandatory.

BC coil overs
NRG bucket seat
