VIDEO: Another G35 Drift Car, Watchout Calvin!

D1champ · 10-24-2005, 05:42 AM

The car is currently stock, just test run in stock form before it goes into the shop for prep work over the winter. The VID is a little slow the first couple minutes in, but it's worth watching the whole thing!

BTW: This isin't my car nor was I driving it. He's an acquaintance of mine. his name is Marco Santos.

The car has no upgraded components. The interior is gutted to lighten it up and some wheels/tires have been added. No suspension,brakes or Power mods have been added. STOCK ENGINE!

SidewayzRacer · 10-24-2005, 07:02 AM

WOW! That's stock suspention?? That thing had hardly any body roll!

dreamdrivedrift · 10-24-2005, 11:28 AM

wow thats open diff?!

J-BloodAE86 · 10-24-2005, 11:39 AM

i dont believe thats stock suspension, there is way to much camber in the rear. it definitely has lowering springs. that guy is tearing it up though, nice vid.

I'll double check if you insist, will update later.

driftersil80 · 10-24-2005, 03:38 PM

Yea there is definetely some suspension work there. G35's dont look that low even with different rims.....

FD3S_pilot · 10-24-2005, 05:13 PM

sweet vid. yea there must be suspension work but no matter its
just another example of simple suspension mod and no engine mod
a car can still drift nicely...

yea. btw sweet sig! lol. i remeber just reading about some sti or something putting down like 400hp with not much done to it and it made me think like wow thats about double what i consider a highpowered motor. with oldschool cars 100hp per liter n/a is like my 'really sick motor' criteria, but nowdays all these turbo cars are doing that bone stock. lol.

Update: The owner ordered coilovers but didin't arrive in time so he cut the springs slightly to drop the car, Coils are going in during the winter.

KristianAE86 · 11-03-2005, 05:03 PM

Great vid man - thanxs for sharing with us.

But i cannot belive there no suspension-work done here.

The car almost jumps around - very similar to a car that has has its rear springs/shocks remowed in favour of some steel rods.

link doesnt work for me... i just see a lot of random text

Automotion is a shop from montreal. These guys are the biggest pioneers in drifting in Quebec and Canada and are responsible for the first official canadian drifting competition that started in 2004 and is gaining popularity fast as was seen in the 2005 season. http://www.driftmania.ca/

Winter being our main handicap here north of the border we're stuck watching videos till the snow melts. Gives me enough time to build my s13

That explains why it was hoping so much.

Not to sound biased, but I tend to disagree. But hey you don't have to take my word, ask Seigo Yamamoto.... he came up for the Final Round and drifted a few laps with Marco.

FireEmblem62 · 11-13-2005, 05:17 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHA, the car look sick, but its funny to hear it hop through that second corner. Remember kids, cutting your springs is a BAD thing.

jockstrapjc · 11-14-2005, 10:18 AM

heres the REAL scoop on this car. from a guy at automotion,

Just wait till the Spring when the car is done.

The test runs here gave Marco a good feel for the car to get to know what he needs done during the winter.

The car was screaming for traction the entire day; he was only running on P265 tires. Such a shame that I didn't get more footage that day.
