I was hoping it would be a sweet drifting story.

Maybe because you have a Nordic Green?

Have you seen a drift car up close?

They are far from amazing, they are torn up, zip tied, and half broken with twisted frames.

As long as you like Nordic green thats all that matters! I'm just not a fan personally, but everyone has their preferences.

They're fun to look at for like 5 minutes before you realized there are more zip ties holding the car together than bolts haha

unless you're really good at drifting... NYC Drift King ha

The tofu delivery biz isn't so good these days. So I sold all of my 15x10s and stopped drift racing Lan Evos driven by guys with bandanas on. I have now hooked up with the Drift King in Tokyo. We just call him DK. He is sponsoring our trip to Racewars in the desert.

Most track cars get bruised and battered. Not sure why this is news to some people.
For most people in grassroots motorsports its not practical to guy buy new aero after every event and get it painted.
I refresh mine the beginning of every season. And you wont find zipties holding anything together. That goes for a lot of drivers as well.

I mean you can see huge gaps in the hood and bumper. Damaged I assume. But that car is fugly IMO. Then again I can't think of a RX-8 drift car that really looks good to me aside from the bergenholtz car.
