i fixed the links all you have to do is click and it will open a window right click and save where it says.

The video links don't seem to work. And when I went to the media section of this article on the ign site I didn't see any videos. If you have them could you maybe post them on here. I got to see the pics but I would really love to see some videos.

spiritD · 06-22-2005, 11:34 PM

ditto... linky no worky. cool story though....

pictures were disposablecam-tastic.

relax kiddies, looking around the page a little helps.

Hm, not registered with IGN

FC3slider88 · 06-23-2005, 02:41 PM

Yeah, it sucks cuz you have to be registered. Well you can at least view the lower quality video and then save it to your comp if you have quictime 7 pro.

Buddyworm · 06-23-2005, 10:08 PM

Hoh, soooooo cool. If only the cops were that cool about it here.

driftersil80 · 06-24-2005, 09:55 AM

HMMMM. Whats up with the "no seatbelts" thing? Thats pretty messed up and dangerous as heck sounding. If you are wondering what im talking about, read the article (number 2)!

CrazyBadger · 06-25-2005, 09:53 AM

The sound works but I don't get any picture...

DoriAltis · 06-25-2005, 01:25 PM

is Bai still driving for Signal? I haven't heard much about him lately and the article didn't mention anything about it

06-25-2005, 08:12 PM

Thanks for sharing!

eclipse.soul · 06-26-2005, 07:58 AM

thats odd, the vids work for me without any problems...

Cressida · 06-26-2005, 08:05 AM

the video was cool. those IGN guys have a hardon for S13s now lol.

CrazyBadger · 06-26-2005, 10:35 AM

Okay, the video works now. Nice video, whats with like 3 cars coming down and then only 1 drifts?

Nope, he broke off with them so he could work on his own company(west co.).He said he wanted to be known as Kazuya Bai the owner of West Co. and not Chunky Bai the driver for Siganl Auto. He plans to help design products for Origin.

Really? How did you find the info? Komatsu, left Signal too. He's with Super Made. I wonder why he left. Maybe they're not taking care of their guys or something. Kuroi is probably next to leave.

Lord_EJR · 06-27-2005, 08:08 AM

who/what is supermade?

also, does anyone know the website to check oput the origin lab stuff? always been a fan of bai, wanna chek out the orgin kits.

Aiki-Drift · 06-27-2005, 11:19 AM

SuperMade is a tuning shop in Japan ofcourse. Very nice shop cars and talented drivers, which now include Fumiaki Komatsu. His car is now silver. (RPS13) Check'em out at www.super-made.com

Origin is reachable at www.origin-lab.com

actually they are usually drifting well before the corner, just at that location there isnt much run off (guard rail on both sides on the exit of the corner) so if they stuff up the entry its often easier/safer to bail from the corner and go straight ahead.

Ive got no idea why Bai doesnt run seat belts, maybe a little too much confidence??

DoriAltis · 06-28-2005, 12:34 AM

Even if Signal's drivers leave for whatever reason, they've all created a healthy fanbase for themselves. Everyone respects Signal's drivers.

Komatsu and Bai helped facilitate the American drifting scene by being some of the first Japanese pros to come over and do events.

I still remember seeing Chris Forsberg cuting up pipes for fabrication when he first started out on the west coast at Signal. Now he's a rock star.

I was reading a Super Street mag while in line at the grocery store, and coincidently I came across it and tried to remember it because of this thread. Yea the twins are gone

, but like I said Bai just wanted to change his image from a clown to a more serious businessman.

Streeter · 06-29-2005, 01:03 PM

maybe gone as far as Signal twins go but they are still good freinds and regularly drift together at track days here.
