I haven't seen any video footage yet Jay... Anyways, I had a chance to go for a run in the car and it feels like it has really good response/power. Simply put, its FAST... Seeing this massive luxury car drifting is eye popping and looks great doing so. It's funny because you actually do not feel how big the car is while riding in it. I guess the car is pretty well balanced.

Once Jay gets more seat time and fine tunes it, he should be able to put down some sick runs. We just gotta wait and see!

I've always have been a big fan of the s14/s15 silvia/240sx. Too bad we never got the turbo'ed version or the s15 version in the US.

The s15 has got to be one of the best looking non-exotic (under $30k) car ever made.

As for the lexy, nice!!! I love that plastic cleaner compound stuff. I use that on all my cars.

Hi Jay, whats up! this is Thanh Phan formerly of HIN. Long time no talk! Whats up! welcome to ClubLexus. You'll find the owners here are pretty helpful. It's pretty different then the 240 or zilvia forum. In some ways better but in some ways worst.... we need more like you!

all i got to say is holy shnitz. Phat car, and i think you just did what i have always dreamed off. Will it be to hard to ask you for a major part list and rough prices on all the parts. I am really excited that you did this. Congradulations, let us know when you will be on the east coast, I want to try to stop by. Nice job once more.
