Hello I'm from California where i spent a while running a muck in the scca scene before i met up with the owner of a company called drift tech and fell in love with the drift scene. So I tricked my sponsor's from scca to help me build this coupe to compete in the mid west drift union to get a shot at my formula d pro licence but am stationed in Tennessee right now and my work won't let me complete a full season I have this 86 coupe in the middle of a 20v swap and I picked up a spare gts to fabricate suspension parts. I also have an 09 pontiac g8,11 Toyota tundra rock warrior edition :various42: , 67 bug and an 87 fiero (for wife) a 92 dodge 350, my tow slut, a 2000 wrangler from my rock crawling phase lol,,and an 05 gsxr litre bike

Well here are some pics of my baby. It is a track car that I drive on the street for fun.
