Bought the 1:24 Silvia, “Tore the M**** F****** Roof Off.”
During more down time while working on the project car and waiting for parts to come in, I was inspired by one of Jay Z’s songs. Since I couldn’t find an S13 convertible scale model, I decided to mod my own. It was time to bust out the cordless Dremel (ballin!) and the plastic bit […]

Top Drift Round 3 @ Streets of Willow
Round 3 of Top Drift would be at Willow Springs International Raceway, on their Streets of Willow course. This was a new track for Top Drift to be judging on, so everyone came in not knowing what section was to be used for competition. They’ve been here before for All Star Bash, and […]
