Buying the most INFAMOUS drift car ever built…
The time has come for a new pro drift car on the channel. While the MX5 NC with the SR20 engine swap was a cool idea, it never really paid off. It was time for Josh to step up into something more powerful, conventional and competitive! That's why we decided to track down one of the most infamous drift cars ever built. Now, notice we didn't say 'famous'. This car has done more crazy stuff, had more crazy drivers and created more drama than any other on the planet. Now, it's ours...

I did not know you guys existed, before the fire. KZread algorithm decided I should see the "we lost everything" video, for some reason. I've never particularly been into drift racing, to be honest, though the cars look cool and whether I'm interested in the sport or not, I can see all the time and skill and energy that go into some pretty damned impressive (even to me) cars. Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Ash.. I have watched, liked, commented on every single video of yours since the fire, and am impressed by how you guys are springing back from such a devastating loss, and I am impressed by the community(s) coming together to help you, and the people coming out of the cracks who'd rather see their cars appreciated and loved than sitting in garages 'waiting.' You've made me a fan of what you are, and I will continue to watch your videos, and look forward to seeing you rebuild your world. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I had the same! This is definitely a channel where I think I could watch anything just because the personalities involved make it so interesting, but now I might fall into drifting (and more worryingly the drifting money pit lol). And just from what I've seen I have immense respect for these guys, and I'm so happy to see people have rallied around to help.

Same, second engine in my first gen rx7, hasn't seen asphalt yet, but want it to be ready before it does so I'm taking my time. 6 years into this project. I need an actual camera so I can film work being done. Was planning on it last year. Was going to buy equipment and actually get started on a real channel, then life happened, I have a 9 month old son, & remodeling my first home that I've paid over 50k on already. I think once I build a shop out there, get done with remodeling, & buy some film/editing equipment I'm going to get back on track with starting the channel. I have plenty of projects of my own as well as projects I build for friends. Including my, 80 rx7, 04 (I think) rx8 roller (soon to be LS swapped), Pontiac 400 powered 77 Chevy k10, 99 silverado, 04 Honda 400ex (extremely modified), & lots of others to come, friends vehicles include 96 mustang gt (built), gsxr 600 (built), dual sport, lots of dirt bikes/other street bikes, a few other ATVs including a bike engine soon to be swapped into a Yamaha 350 warrior chassis, I'm part of a local car club, we go on cruises, go to a lot of events & such, I think stating a channel could be very beneficial for me.

One of my earliest memories of the drifting community was where Luke Fink was up against Jack Shanahan, Luke damaged the rear suspension mid heat so was given the 5 minute rule. That's when I saw what the Drift community was all about as I saw Jack's dad, John, run straight over to Lukes pit to help get the car back up and running so he could battle his son! It was amazing to see and as much as we all love seeing these things do things that cars really shouldn't be able to do, it was even more incredible to see how much compassion everyone has to see everyone suceed. If my memory serves me right, Luke was driving this car at the time. Insane to see it back out and clearly in the right hands. Enjoy it guys, go tear it up!

I was thinking about this car a couple of weeks ago and wondering if it was still alive, fantastic to see it hasn't been stripped and even better see it in the hands of driftgames. Apart from James Deanes cars this has always been a personal favourite. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it and good luck to Josh, onwards and upwards
MY BOYS ARE BACK It's so amazing to see not only the drift community, but the car community as a whole pull together for a member of our family. I never had a doubt in my mind.
Luke Fink in that yoke was the most entertaining combo 👌 can't wait to see that car back out
Lads, Lucas kills it with the videos and sound tracks 👏
Never in my life did I expect Drift games to own the Low Brain S13, such an iconic car. Cannot wait to see what the future holds with this one
you guys are a massive inspiration to people you started with nothing and built up to what you are now and disaster struck with the fire but that never held you down you guys kept going hard and are on the road to recovery with your heads held high. i take my hat off to you all you deserve every bit of credit you get and the content is always on point. you guys have done amazing well done keep up the good work. wishing you all the best from sunny scotland

Then why did Taylor build a Corvette as his pro car? He said himself the car wasn't able to compete so he had to build another. Don't me wrong awesome build just honest make much sense to run an mx5/miata. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Why isn't there any civics in pro class? It doesn't make sense nor would be competitive.

@@ivanvargas8951 Taylor had a vette before he did the Miata project. The vette was his roots in drifting, and has more expandability than the Miata did. The vette also has more bay-space to modify than the Miata does, so any upcoming changes in rules and regulations would be easy to adapt with the Vette. Taylor has talked about it in the past. The Miata is his baby. The Vette is his "Okay, cool, I need to compete and have room to grow with the sport," car.
Found some photos of this on a old harddrive from about 12years ago the other day 👌🏻 Use to be in a shed in a lydney in Gloucestershire
That's an insane story! I was there at Mondello the day Luke took this car out the first time and it certainly left an impression on me and many others. Good luck Josh and enjoy it!
When Luke Fink came over and drove that thing! best weekend of drifting ever!
Realy love to see you guys gettin back in good spirits and stick to what you love to do. Hoping to be able to visit a Adam LZ worldtour in Europe this year. So hartwarming to see all the support to the Driftgamescrew that is well deserved. Love from Holland🙏
Get it guys!! Love the strength of the whole team to keep pushing!
Great episode. After you said Australians knew the car I was abit shocked as I don't know of any pro cars that have gone from aus to Ireland. Those big pipes out of the bonnet gave it away before the shed was even open. Absolute beast of a car, hope you guys enjoy it
DriftGames rising up and coming back stronger and better than ever 👌 and building the ultimate team and stable back up of weapon cars lets go so sick and keep up the great work 👍
I was thinking it would be an S14 or a S15, but was hoping for an S13 or S14. Never would I would never have guessed this car would actually be the car. I've seen this car before but never knew the story behind it. It's incredibly inspiring to see how you guys get back into it after everything you have been through.
love that you guys have stayed positive and are consistently still kicking ass to provide us with the best drifting related videos on youtube! so keen to see this thing rip again
I watched you guys competing in drift masters over weekend so looked you guys up on the net and saw everything that had happened i know its not much but i showed abit of love and pre ordered a t shirt. Looking forward to seeing future content with you guys rebuilding everything best of luck to you all for everything coming your way this year 😊
I found your channel right at the start of lockdown and got to watch the full process of this car live and I agree it’s time for it to be retired. It’s had it’s time
Coolest pro / comp. build we’ve seen in ‘24. Possibly the richest history of any car that will run this season worldwide. Warmed my heart to watch this. Love you boys and can’t wait to see what all you guys accomplish in these next 5 months. ❤️🤙
Insane anouncement ! This is wild ! Reallly love that car , the front end change everything ! Really pumped !
Your city street in your garage was inspiring and I found your channel around the time you shared it, there will be people who do special things because you showed them what is possible. Thank you!
I'm so happy for you guys, this is an amazing car I remember long time ago I was in Essex at my first drift event and this car driven by Luke went against my friend Leonard Kepert and in the final against James Deane, I was amazed about the sound of this car

Only recently got in to your videos and your drive and determination is mad keep going and keep moving forward and by the looks you will be back bigger and better than you was before.
Awww man the memories, Back when i did media this car always generated a buzz and there would always be more people trackside when it was out. Glad to see it in good hands and being used again!!
You guys just continue to prove that nothing can stop the Drift Game boys!
What a perfect car to bring the channel back! Its such an iconic car and looked amazing driven as hard as it always was. Between Fink and Ffrench this car got some amazing aggressive runs. I think the mx5 should get a near stock 1uz and it just turned into a fun bash car so it still gets enjoyed and doesn't get lost from the channel
Looks like Josh has got big shoes to fill. I definitely think it was time to close the chapter on the mx5 and start a new one. All the best guys. Good things are coming your way.💪🤘

Lads! What an iconic car. I remember back in 2011 seeing this car whip in BDC with it's iconic red body, black roof and big dishy Work Equips! That was back when we had iconic liveries and cars like Phil Morrison's DW S15 with the zipper livery, Paul Cheshire in his Falken G35, Mark Luney with the SATS Supra (Over 1000hp that thing iirc)! Also can't forget the Japspeed boys! That was back when I was just leaving school, and I was SUPER into playing Forza Motorsport 3 & 4, along with watching as much drifting & Japanese content as I could. This car on kill mode is INSANE, so sick that you guys are bringing it back! HYPED!
Sick, still remember this car from Bandana video of Drift all stars times😅💪

As an aussie and mad keen on drifting since early days,and invold in it along time ago and the demise of some Aussie events back then seeing Luke head over to Europe and race in this car was crazy time. It put the spotlight of European drifting on our radar. It has a very long history from the comments, can't wait to see what happens with it.
