Joining the Most Elite Drift Team on the PLANET!

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

I know there's been a lot of speculation around the internet about what car I'm going to be driving next year before I get into that .

I just wanted to give a little bit of love , reliable here .

This S 15 I originally built with Juki racing and it was just supposed to be a fun demo car that quickly escalated once I learned that , you know , high strung cars really only get driven together at the highest level of drifting , which is formula drift .

This car has treated me well for three seasons and coming into this next season , I decided it was time to do something a little bit different .

And in this video , we're gonna talk all about that and with much excitement , I want to tell you guys , I will be driving an chassis next year .

Are you ready for it ?

I didn't say it was a Nissan , but technically , it is an S chassis , an S 5 50 Mustang to be exact .

And I am excited to finally officially announce to you guys that I will be joining team RT R for next year .

A formula drift dude .

Welcome to the party , bro .

Finally , we can talk about this .

I hate keeping secrets .

I know we kind of did a good job , but then people started putting 2 to 2 together .

So we kinda had to throw some curveballs .

They certainly did .

But you guys sharp , you got some sharp peeps for sure if you guys don't .

I already know Von Junior , the owner of RT R formula drift champion , my mentor .

And uh , now I guess , are you technically the team manager , team owner , everything .

But I'm uh my job is to support you and Chelsea and make sure that you and the team have what you need to achieve the goals .

And uh obviously , one of your goals is to become an F D champion .

And so the process begins now there's a lot of stuff we got to talk about and that's what this video is for .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And we're gonna bring you guys behind the scenes at the lab and our whole thought process behind this huge decision for both of us .

All right , before we get into too much nitty gritty , I want to give you guys a super quick tour of this place .

We are at the RT R lab .

Yeah , this is uh this used to be Kenny Schrader , uh one of his facilities .

So this is where all the activation demo activities go and you'll see the difference of the F D area when we get there .

But O G Mustang won the 05 USA versus Japan in 2007 world championship and kind of put me on the map if you will .

And I really want to do a comparison of current F D cars versus that F D card .

I mean , quick question for you .

Can I like , I don't know how well known it is and a lot of people , I always hear them making comments that think the demo cars are F D cars .

Can I like talk about the differences between the two ?

So I'm gonna be getting a demo car , right ?

Sick .

You will have a demo mustang that you'll be driving with .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

You know , whether it's me and you doing grid life or me , you and Chelsea or you and Chelsea , we'll all have our own exhibition car and the goal of these cars , right ?

The F D cars are only for F D .

We don't use them for anything else , right ?

You know the deal you've been running our F D program .

A lot of abuse , a lot of time between rounds .

So these are toned down .

This is a coyote .

It's a four performance illuminator with a vortex Super charger .

Um It has a T 56 magnum in it and a drive shaft shop 49 inch conversion .

So they're just toned down drive trains , but the same similar chassis .

So like this car , if we got a shot in the race car , you could pour everything out of this .

The chassis is exactly the same but the sub frames are different , so they drive a little bit different and then power wise , I know the F D car is making an extra like four or 500 horsepower .

Right .

Correct .

Yeah , there's about 750 in F D cars .

About 12 , 1300 .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Still not bad , but still all the , you know , still the same look and feel right when we do demos or content still appears to be the same car , right ?

Still , same branding , but this car is much more affordable to run like these illuminator run forever and we don't have to ever change them .

So where the F D car needs a full rebuild , you know , expensive rebuild at the end of every year .

So , and if you're not aware , Von did just recently announce that he's taking a step back from driving an F D and I just want to make it very clear .

I am not taking your role in the RT R team .

Chelsea is moving into your position on the F D team as I guess you would say the lead driver and then I'll be filling in the Chelsea's position as the new or the rookie .

Exactly .

And I'm stepping back to be team owner , just kind of assess from outside and my vision is a couple of years come back and we'll have a three car effort .

That's , that's the current plan subject to change like all things in life , but that's where I'm at right now .

Maybe electric baby .

So , this is where all of our prototyping development .

RT R vehicle builds go down .

That's a truck that just got back from .

That's the R R Fund runner .

Uh , when we make , you know , a ton of parts , you know , molded plastic parts , the fabricated metal , full suspension .

Uh , this fiberglass , you see what I see my body , my colors on there , huh ?

Yeah , you see that little , little uh little fade there where you get that from all the way through .

Maybe it's mine .

Who knows ?

Who knows ?

It's not , I'd be kind of stoked and we're not open to the public yet .

But this is basically like our showroom , right ?

So like our first ever production RT R first prototype , which I gave to my son , I actually gave it to my dad and my dad .

Maybe give it to my son .

This is uh R R X four G T .

I thought you sold that it is going for sale .

The buyer got flaky and I just shut it down .

So talk to me .

Nice .

I won't flake out on it .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

You need a Yeah , I do , you know , don't look at that .

So I , I gotta hide the uh you know , the real F D car .

So we'll talk about that later .

Um And is that gonna be like the chassis that we're gonna test on ?

Is that gonna be the chassis that I'll drive ?

This is your car .

All right .

So you guys will see it in this video , not in its official final form , but uh we'll save that for later in the video .

Yeah .

So are you our engineering ?

We got two 3d printers , all of our engineers in there and now we're in fab area .

It's so cool being in these spaces that have like intentionally laid out for what we do because like the first thing I ever saw was my compound and then I toured gri kind of has like a restoration facility over in California .

Every time I come to one of these places , I get so many ideas and like seeing just the intentionality of like where things are stored and how things are laid out .

Yeah , I never would have thought of it , but this is , this is all my team .

I laying out how this all works .

Our previous shop was much smaller but very purposeful .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

So this is s 5 50 chassis that's getting prepped .

This may actually become a demo car or actually become a stale .

Um because I think for the new demo car we're building , we're using a chassis , we already have that's been sitting as a spare .

So this will become a spare .

In the case you or Chelsea getting a shunt , we'll be able to transition to a new chassis before the next F D round .

So we always have one of these on deck .

What's the biggest thing that you guys like remove or cut out or modify in terms of weight .

It's really everything .

I mean , Aaron would have to come over here and show you everything , but here you could see the tunnels cut out to fit what we need to fit in there , obviously taking the roof off and really just prepping everything for light weighting , but also for crash damage .

So this is obviously where your fuel cell goes .

So they do a ton of work .

They de tab everything .

Yeah , I wish we had another one you could see here , but they take all the tabs off .

Right .

Lightweight .

Can do not stitch .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Well , these chassis are so rigid .

You don't need to stitch that a lot of time .

Yeah .

Yeah .

Do not need to be .

It's cool .

It comes around just like this .

That's sick .

Yeah , that's exactly how it comes .

So , it's basically what would go in the plant would get loaded on to like the first step and then it starts going through , you know , going through all the processes .

Um , can anybody buy one of these , uh , Ford used to have a body and white sales program ?

I don't know if they do it anymore .

I know for s 1 90 sevens they did , but I don't know if they do it for us 550 anymore .

You're saying it would be pretty cool .

Just grab it and then you just get like a crashed car and switch the parts .

Over and there you go , you could do a lot less work .

Yeah , they , they sell for only race car , only race .

So we got , we got a clean room here which is all for gearboxes , transmission work .

I assume the engines aren't built in house .

Correct .

Our engines are built down the road .

Ray runs .

Ray runs , manages that program with uh Sandy Wilkins .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

We now have you , you have double Chelsea .

Well , I just found out , I didn't know that this , you guys don't paint these , that these are basically how they come from Ford .

I must save so much time and money .

It is as part of the time and , and livery design thought process to have black bumpers .

So we don't have to paint them every time we touch them because it's like every event , you know , and then when they get scratched , you don't really notice it that much either .

That's not that bad .

So prep room and then we have two paint bays here .

We have a full time painter , uh who we just brought on .

He kills it .

How often can I expect to come here ?

I know I got my next year schedule .

I didn't see art lab trips on there .

Yeah .

Well , because we usually meet at other events .

I mean , you're more than welcome to come as much as you want , but it's not , we have a couple planning meetings , but , you know , we have a really amazing team .

So like we plan things and then it all just gets executed and we normally I say we like myself and Chelsea .

Chelsea doesn't usually come here .

We usually just meet at events and get some time together at events if we need to sort anything , but there's constant communication .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

So there's not really a need to always come here .

But that being said , we might have some fun , you know , some content fun , just like we do it when I come and pick up the four G T you pick up your , one of the first things I see pulling in , look at how rad the outside of this building looks .

I know like every time I drive down here , I'm just like , mind blown that this is ours .

Like this dream has earned this .

It's crazy .

We have a gate with a watchdog watchman , barbed wire and then you have this beautiful sign and what's , what's cool too .

A little fun fact that I've never really talked about in video .

Allen from 5th 3rd Bank is the key person that helped me finance the compound .

It's real difficult being a youtuber and especially in the racing world too .

I know it can be tough to get financing and guess what ?

Guess who helped ?

Fun .

Yeah .

And that's how I connected you with him because it's not often you find a bank that , like , understands our business and seemed like it was really easy for you too .

Alan is a really bad dude .

Shout out to Alan .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Well , yeah , I met you early on in pro two and I remember like being really pissed off because everybody was just like , hating on you for no reason .

And like , I just saw a really passionate guy that was good behind the wheel and everyone else for some reason want to hate on you because your success elsewhere and that just really pissed me off .

And I also related to that because the same thing happened to me when I went into off road .

And so I just naturally was just like , you know , you know , let you know , hey , I'm here to help you out if I can help you in any way .

I just remember you and I hit it off pretty good .

And I remember , you know , inviting you to come play with me and Chelsea at auto enthusiast day 2018 .

And that's really where I think we got to know each other .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And like the relationship started , I think the craziest thing about this experience is just the infrastructure that's required to run this , having like someone get in the car , every lap , having people check tire pressure and fueling up the cars .

And it's , it's really like , takes a lot of effort to put this on .

So I'm very impressed .

I literally remember my first round of Pro two at Orlando .

I had never driven a track before when it starts to grip up from the rubber being laid down on the track .

And I remember you blowing my mind with the whole spacer thing .

Oh , yeah .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

A little , you said it's like an old dirt track trick , putting spacers to keep the car looser on the banks and behind the scenes , both on Chelsea , the whole RT R team has helped our team so much .

It really feels like with all the events that we've been doing together , like it already feels like family just because we're always hanging out pitting next to each other .

You guys are giving us advice on stuff and yeah , I agree .

You know , it's been fun .

Like for me , like , I enjoy , like seeing people achieve their goals and like , I've told you , I believe in you as a driver .

Um And I've always just wanted to see you succeed because I see your fire and passion in your eyes and when you're doing it , like , um I just relate to it a lot and for me , especially when people are hating on someone , like I hate bullies .

And so like , I just wanted , I knew you were gonna prove everyone wrong and I know you don't think of it like that , but I just hated it .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And I felt like you're such a great thing for our sport and I felt like you're such like the perfect person to also help help drift get big .

And I wanted you to be successful as a whole for you .

Like I saw you , like , even when we came out and you're just playing auto enthusiast day , like your analytical of like how you process and how you want to be the best that day at driving that car .

Like I love that passion .

And so for me watching you continue to progress and obviously us staying close and us helping you with the little bit we have like , it's just been fun to see it .

And aside from like my team doing well and us doing great things for our partners .

This is something I'm able to cheer for .

You know what I mean , you going to your next level .

Like there's so much to be learned and so much to be achieved and it's just gonna be fun .

So many kind words , it warms me up .

I know we've been talking about this .

I feel like for almost like two years now , about the idea of me potentially driving a mustang .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And I will say the biggest thing that was holding me back is I respected and looked up to you so much for what you've created with RT R .

And I wanted , I wanted to do the same thing .

I wanted to build up my own team and I wanted to create that foundation .

I thought it was so cool as a brand , everything that you've accomplished with it .

And I think last year was a reality check for me that with eight rounds in a year , they're just I have to be all in .

I can't be the influencer , do all these other side projects and do F D on the side and be able to operate at the level of everyone else and build out an infrastructure like you've built out , build out a team like you built out .

I had great people backing me , great sponsors .

I had a great car but I just personally don't have the time to create what you've created without being all in .

But I don't want to give up and I still want to continue driving and I want to drive at the best level I can and what better way to do it with the best team in drifting hands down the highest level team .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

I don't think anyone can argue that with the highest level cars probably the most R and D in drifting , in my opinion , it's smart of you to be thinking that way what we've built in 20 years , you know , and obviously it's not all just from being behind the wheel , but , and you , you know that right ?

I mean , you started kind of slightly backwards , right ?

Like you didn't get into motorsport and then start to build your profile .

You had to build a profile and then you got into motorsport .

But as you get into it , you realize the infrastructure that it takes like if you're not doing it yourself , which means you're every single day doing everything on your own .

And you don't have the time to create the value for , for partners , let alone live and have fun .

You're just , you know , going , going , going and you know , so for you to see that , right ?

And you had to be in the trenches .

I told you in 2018 , you're gonna want more time , but you had to get in the trenches and build this out .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And then see , ok , now I got here , but I still want to get here and something that you guys know too , like this year was rough in terms of content .

It was not the year that I wanted it to be in terms of doing all the fun projects and stuff at home .

And I feel like we kind of got lost in the F D content .

You know , I'm fortunate enough to have the same guys helping me on the F D T team doing the projects at home .

But that kind of shot ourselves in the foot because we weren't able to really do anything big other than little stuff here and there between rounds and for me youtube merchandise , these other fun builds are what I enjoy the most and what make money F D doesn't make me money .

And this move for me , I think everyone would want to know like a program like this , the way that they typically work .

There's understood amount and estimate of budgeted cost to operate a season .

And the goal is to have partners that can help back you and help cover some costs .

And I think looking at it right now this move , not only am I getting to drive , I didn't even mention the teammate being my original drift .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

It who got me into drifting is going to be my mentor , coach and teammate having the best car , the best team .

And I think I will be in a better financial position as well Making this move .

I think it will cost me less .

So like for me , it ticks all the boxes .

I want a podium .

I want to do the best I possibly can .

And with one of those things , I have no excuses .

Well , that's the goal is to , you know , free you up so you can focus on driving , right ?

You told me you want to become a championship caliber , you want to win a championship , right ?

That's , I mean , that's your ultimate goal .

I know you , I think it's a realistic goal and , you know , maybe not next year , but I think within two years we're going to have you , you know , chasing that championship .

And it's because , you know , we have that infrastructure , it's gonna allow you to focus on the things that these guys enjoy the most , what you love doing as well .

And it's just all going to work .

We're going to have a ton of fun together .

I mean , I'm not stopping drifting .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

We're going to do a ton of fun events , create some fun content and you're going to just progress exponentially as a driver with our processes and the people around you and it's going to be epic .

And I am just so you guys know any plans to stop blogging by any means .

I'm going to try to still cover F D the same way that I did behind the scenes .

And I'm excited , like I said , I already getting to know some of the guys and they've let me in on team meetings , the engineering meetings that you guys do before the track .

Like there's so much neat stuff that goes on behind the scenes .

I don't know how much of it I can share and how much of it will be top secret .

But I'm excited to bring you guys along for the ride and I hope you guys are too .

This is literally the opportunity of a lifetime and I think we talked about a little bit not before last season and for me , and then it was like , I felt like I had just touched the tip of the iceberg with the S 15 and I was like , I got a really cool thing going for me .

I love my guys , I love my crew .

I wanna see what we can do really going all in at this .

And like I said , I just had never experienced a full season because before we had the condensed season with only four rounds in pro one .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And with that , it was true that like , honestly , I feel like if it wasn't for that condensed season , I might not have made the move to pro one originally because I was scared of an eight round series taking too much of my life trying to run my own program and have my own team .

So makes sense .

I mean , you're very smart dude and you got , you have to value your time , effort and energy and you just took a ton of it off your plate and you still get to achieve that part of your life at the top level and you can continue to focus on the cool that you're already doing .

And I'm excited to be a part of it and continue to have fun with you .

We've done everything we've done has been epic fun and we're non stop laughing and enjoying it .

And can we show my car ?

Sure .

So technically I am getting your old F D chassis , my last year F D chassis , the one I won a championship in as well .

So it's a , it's a blessed chassis .

All right , let's do it .

I'll follow you .

Can I show these rigs ?

God , that's crazy .

You got indoor rig barking crazy .

I know .

So that's the wash bay .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

So they just come off the rig from the track straight into the wash before all the , all that rubber .

You needed me to send tires here .

What is that about those are demo tires .

I could have used any , this guy had me pallet tires and sent him for testing .

Oh , by the way , uh we are going testing .

You guys won't see that until the next video .

So that will be in two days .

But I'm super excited .

It's gonna be , I have driven technically his F D car before at OS W but it was in the wrong gear on the center of the oval , but no Nitrous , but we're going to have a full test session where , uh , I'm going to basically operate the car before it gets torn down with Chelsea .

Get acclimated to it and have some fun , which I know you guys pretty much never do .

Right .

This is the first , yeah , we usually do one test a year .

Um , so before the engines go get rebuilt , we want to give you a couple of days in the car , just get comfortable and then we're gonna do one more preseason test before Long Beach just to get you more acclimated , get you feel in the car .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

And I also don't want you thinking all off season , not what it might be like .

I want you to know what it's gonna be like drive in your head and be ready to kill .

So I'm uh , yeah , I think , I think it's time to show him the car and now mind you guys , this is not what my livery will be next year .

This is just a quick test levy that the guys threw together that I'm really stoked about .

I think , I think you hit the nail right on the head .

So behold my official first art , as you can see , they put a little bit of full air on it with a fade .

I am so stoked the bike on it and everything and the bike rack , of course , of course , 2021 Ford Mustang rt R spec five D R Y 45 455 cubic inches of madness .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Uh It's about 800 of the tire and then about 1200 of the tire on .

Nice .

So plenty of power in there .

Full race car build , dry , sump , everything , regulators on everything , but no more than what's needed in the engine bay , obviously proper bash bars for fixing it very quickly .

If you're ever getting a shot , right ?

You can see kind of how we do our substructure so that you get into the first one and then we have the second one here .

So steel on the front aluminum and then hopefully you never get into this .

And that's how we save chassis forever is by using those , those substructures .

You ready to do some tandem in these things .

I mean , I've been doing tandem in them for like five years now , a question for you .

Yeah , I'm ready .

I'm ready , but I'm excited .

I'm so I've been waiting for this man .

I can see the excitement in your face .

This is me behind the camera the whole time upside down .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Outstanding and you have super special Chelsea PC RT R two A in the front three A in the nice and simple interior .

We change your type lights to red .

Love that goes well with it and then got a little bike .

Is that just for uh for the shots ?

That's for the shots .

That's for obviously we're gonna do your first time being seen driving this car later .

So we figure we , that would be our first giveaway hint before we show you , you can't get a better feel than having a in line handbrake because with the dual caliper , when you have a really sticky tire and chassis setup , it deflects the rotor a little bit and pushes the pads back and then you have to press or pull the hand brake to reset the pads .

So having only one set of calipers on there makes it .

So the pads are always like ready to go on the rotor .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

So more resolution on the hand brake , you don't lose a foot brake from knocking the pads back and it saves about £12 .

So that's a big bonus for us .

Four speed Dog box .

You remember how to shoot the H pattern at them ?

Yeah , I do .

I'm actually excited .

I just drove one recently in Collette's car and I actually like , enjoyed it a lot more than I thought .

The first dog boxes .

I ever drove were not very good ones .

So , it kind of ruined my taste for them .

And they were like , like , I think they're older side shifters and they just didn't feel so great .

And then I drove her car and I was like , ok , I get it .

Well , you only also have to shift forward and back ever because you don't ever use anything but fourth gear and do one shift for round run .

Well , you will leave in second , but once you're on the track , yeah , you rarely ever go .

You never go back to second .

So , start in second and then pretty much 3rd , 4th , back to third .

If anything .

That's pretty cool .

Yeah .

So they're like on track .

There's never any like side shifting .

So it's basically the same thing anyway .

Why don't you let them know why we have a Titanium one piece shift ?

Oh , I heard about that .

You got two pieces .

One on yours .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Chelsea one piece because he was breaking them .

He was blowing the shifters when I drive my car .

I ask all of it of everything and there's no like , split second of anything and I've broken quite a few shifters , a couple of gas pedals .

Do you have a spatula pedal in your car ?

No , spatula pedal in my car .

Yeah , let's sit in this thing and see if you fit , bro .

All right .

So we did test fit you and Irwindale and you asked for a slightly different seat .

So let's see how it feels .

I , I'll take , I'll take your camera .

I'll be your camera guy .

Let's see , dude , there we go .

I do get to do a little drift in the parking lot today , right ?

Ok .

Sure .

We'll do it .

She s not gonna talk to Ray , but I'm sure he'll let you do it .

He just , he yelled at me .

He said no more limiter .

That's our , that's our ongoing joke .

The first time I drove on car , Ray yelled at me because I was on the limit too much because someone told me that I had , I couldn't leave .

What was it ?

Third gear .

He , he blaming it .

He's blaming it on me .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

Yeah , I did , I did suggest it was third year because I thought fourth in the circle was too small .

So I'll take my fault .

But when you hear the limit , you can also get off .

Now , Ray hates me .

This is the view that I like here .

So you just hold this and one more .

So there you got your uh front tire tamps , your rear tire tamps .

So you never have to guess when you're going out what you have and you can always be consistent because it feel company Chelsea shifts this stuff so fast .

Watching your in car video , you're like , well , you start in second , right ?

So it's just boom , boom , pretty much .

Yeah , he's just blowing the tires off every time you see that it looks like you guys like short shift them and then kind of the tires off .

Yeah , he like short shifts shots .

So then I put your wheel on .

Do you like your knees like that right now ?

Does that feel good ?

I mean , I kind of , I kind of have to , to be able to get the , put the wheel on .

We'll see how that looks .

video content Image generated by Wilowrid

My body is weird proportions .

You know , mine is too .

I'm all , I'm all torso .

I don't know , I'm all long leg .

I don't know if that's on all the way .

Is it on the way out ?

Does that feel good to you ?

Angles knees , the height of the wheel slide , that a brake back a little bit if it's too far away from you .

Yeah , I mean , the wheel might be a little bit close and the hand brake might be a little bit far .

But I mean , for testing , it'll be fine .

I'm not super picky .

Well , you're gonna have to take time to get it right anyway .

So you might as well get it right .

Like during the next day or two , it takes zero effort .

Like you can lock it with two fingers .

Yeah .

So maybe it won't .

Yeah , that's it .

I'll lock it .

I love that .

I only need two fingers sometimes .

That's all it takes .

Wait on who am I ?

Yeah .

Chelsea Nova .

Hey , man , I like to feel the C G dude .

He really does .

He literally like there's no way you can see over the hood .

I , I can , uh , clearly I know and he still gets where he needs to .

We were , we were joking about putting parking poles on the front for me .

So I , some little , some little plastic guys right here .

It's not as bad as you think .

You feel it .

You know , the deal you get connected and you just know where the , the extension of the body is .

I mean , we got a bumper budget .

So the problem is it's a big car and it's not super light but it drives small like it does everything and transitions like it weighs £1000 less than it does .

I mean , it makes sense because this is effectively the same weight , if not a little bit lighter than lasts 15 with more power .

It's a loader that's £300 lighter .

So it's probably better weight distribution .

It's pretty good job , Chelsea , good looking out .

I was just like , so it is just that good , like , basically like we'll , we'll do all the warm up and everything for you .

So you just show up and sit in the car and go .

Ok .

So , so normally what we do first thing when we get to the track , we change plugs first thing in the morning and then basically once we do that , we just obviously make sure it's a neutral , just put a little bit , a little bit of gas , basically .

Yeah .

When we , when we're just letting it warm up , we like , we never really let it get , get below like 2000 R PM and just keep it there and just , you know , wait till it , basically all I do .

I take it up to the fans , come on and then basically wait till the fans go back off .

So we know everything's getting controlled , you know , with a little bit of gas .

Yeah .

Your first startup , bro .

It's a lot quieter than I expected in the car except M B IP Muffler .

I'm used to being outside of the car and it's just screaming a red line .

You can't hear anything .

Do you have any earplugs ?

So my helmet has pretty good ear cutts .

Do you think I'll need plugs though ?

Really ?

Get some molds .

Yeah .

Uh , Collette's rotary is the loudest car I've ever driven and it's just pain like I , well , that's different .

That's a frequency problem .

Got it .

That's like a brain rattler .

Yeah .

No , literally .

That's , that's the perfect way to describe it .

I hear everything I got to check .

I'll send you her info .

That's what you want .

Oh , I need , I want to do a seat mold .

That's something that I wanted to do .

How , well , how does that feel ?

Because you said that on the other seat , this is the different seat .

I mean , it's just with my back is your butt all the way against the back right now .

Push your back all the way back .

It is .

Yeah , I guess it's a little upright if I sit like that .

So , yeah , I'm a big Ford guy now .

We got a big G T R guy over here .

What's going on with this thing ?

It's a fun , have a G T R .

It's been a project that's been in the works for a couple of years and now it's done .

Look at this custom wide body on it .

What size are these tires ?

They look massive .

3 15 all the way around .

One God .

Where did you get those wheels from ?

Oh , funny story about the wheels .

Miss Chelsea .

Chelsea's wife found them for us .

She was Boaring them and she was about to buy them .

But then she , she let us buy them .

I think we are .

This is so freaking surreal .

I'm trying to keep my cool .

They , I am fan boy getting out to the back .

This is so rad doing a burnout being like 10% throttle .

Like there , there's no other way I just felt like , oh , well , it's all , it's also called making it easier so that everything is easier .

I promise you , you'll never drift this thing at 10% throttle ever gonna happen .

Right .

Yeah , you got a lot of air in here too right now .

It's really easy to drive her out like I could , I , this thing will be so easier than some of my other cars today .

It's a really nice driving car .

Yeah .

Feels great .

It's good .

We do it on that .

Yeah .

Yeah .

Well , I overcame my phobia of accidentally hitting the rev limiter and I definitely didn't hit it .

He said he like a pussy .

I know I've been hearing it from him for the past 10 minutes .

It's just like words cannot describe how excited I am to go properly .

Drift my future F D car tomorrow at the track and go .

Just have fun in tandem with Chelsea and learn from the best .

This guys is the opportunity of a lifetime .

I've really enjoyed the challenge from F D and now getting to be a part of such an insane , high level team with people that I love and have a great time with .

I'm just so excited and I do want to put out there .

Uh Even though I will be technically driving for a for team , it will not affect anything in terms of the other builds that I do or , you know , working on my two old two forties and bonding someone that I look up to so much guiding me through my journey and F D and having faith in me to step into this role and really just believing in me means so much .

I'm going to make them proud .

I'm going to make you guys proud and I'm gonna have a lot of fun at the same time .

I'm excited for the future .

I hope you guys are to uh it's been so cool seeing all the people excited , anticipating this move and if you guessed it , if you had a feeling before it happened , kudos to you , I appreciate you guys support more than anything and as you guys know , or if you don't know you guys and your support , such a huge reason why I've been able to get where I am and I'll never forget that .

So thank you and make sure you tune in on Friday to see me drift this thing .

It's gonna be good .
