ooo man it feels so good to drift with this car.

especially a fast and long one on 3rd gear. feels so lethal and undercontrol at the same time.

lose the guy on the passenger seat. unnecessary weight :):):)

nice stuff there

I just bought rhys millens personal driver and he added some vents to the rear that redirect the smoke out from under the car to the rear, it seems like that's a good idea after looking at that kappa go thruogh some mighty drifts

who's the driver and what's under the hood?

if it's an ecotec I wonder what mods they did to the engine

Goat knows him, I have met him but cannot remember his name.  He is Irish and the car is totally custom including the right hand drive.  It is v8 powered.

If goat knows him we should send him a pic of my rear vents, it will help make the smoke look more impressive and better directed

by the way, the vents on Rhys racing Solstice where a lot more pronounced.
