When did you first get truly excited about drifting and who influenced you to develop the drift style you have? Why did you choose to take the path through drifting that you did?
Since my first experience with drifting (around 2003), driving technique has always been the most critical aspect for me. Over the years, the importance continues to grow in creating a machine whose look matches the performance and emphasizes explosive driving style.
My current s13 Silvia came from Tokyo to California, again to Kansai, Japan and back home. It’s most recent setup is a reflection of these travels.
