The 2010/2011 XDC champion is hitting the road in a unique way for the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada this year. The event kicks off on October 22nd at PSI Motorsports (this Saturday), hits Technica Motorsports in Atlanta, then a stop in Fort Worth, Texas along with a few other stops before hitting Las Vegas. Chelsea told us he will have some updates from the trip and we will be rolling into Las Vegas at the same time they will be to roll our Nissan 240sx and Mazda Rx-7 into the SEMA Show for display.

We are running a mock setup similar to the one Dai Yoshihara runs on his 2011 Formula Drift championship winning S13. Thanks to SPD Metalworks for providing a duplicate of the bracket Dai Yoshihara runs on his competition car. Find out what our plans are and how this got installed on the S13 over at the project car blog or follow the link below.

Issue 21 is here with the 2011 Rookies taking center stage on our cover this month. In depth interviews with Walker Wilkerson, Otto Graven, and Odi Bakchis put the team of 2011 on the center stage like nobody else has to date. We also grabbed J Brad (Team Falken Motorsports Manager) and asked him all the questions you readers submitted which made for a great piece. The Industry Insider sits us down with Efrain Olivares who is the agent for Kyle Mohan and Tyler McQuarrie. The issue pays tribute to one of our favorite Wrecked photographers Dan Jenkins in the In Focus Section. We wrap up with a look at the Retaks S13 and the return of Toshiki Yoshioka from D1GP.

Project V8 240sx has been getting some serious love over the past few weeks from the Wrecked staff. We picked up a full ISIS Suspension arm kit (available for the S13 and S14) to install on the V8 S13. The installation covers the rear upper control arms, rear traction arms, and rear toe links. Head over to the Projects Blog to see how the installation came along.

Last night we headed out to pick up and collect our newest project car. It ran the complete Formula Drift 2010 season with Jeff Jones behind the wheel and retired at Irwindale Speedway. Below you can see a photo of Jeff Jones running tandem with Joon Maeng at Formula Drift Las Vegas last year! We will be opening up a projects blog and filling you in on more with this car very soon!

Our S13 project has been one hell of an undertaking but it is rapidly coming together before it’s 2011 SEMA due date. You can see our Sikky Manufacturing mounts sitting inside the empty engine bay while our LS3 from GMPP sits just behind the car waiting to be dropped in. Ricky Cervantes snapped this shot quickly as we were packing up the garage the other night and we turned it into a wallpaper after several requests. Scroll down to the bottom of Page 2 and find this wallpaper in five different sizes.

Our Project V8 240sx has been lacking one major part lately and it was the actual V8.

We are going toss some modifications on this gorgeous machine and get her installed. Check out the full install and delivery process over at our Project V8 240sx blog. You can buy a 6.2L LS3 or various other GM powerhouse factory V8 setups on their website and find out more about our engine (GM Part# 19257230).

We got a shipment of BFGoodrich Tires for our S13 Nissan 240sx. Our front tires are a 235/40/17 and our rear tires are 265/35/18. The guys at BFG were even nice enough to send us some extra rear tires for when we get this V8 monster fired up and ready to tackle some local Los Angeles drifting events.

You can head over to the Project V8240sx blog to check out a full installation of our BFGoodrich Tires that we mounted on our Enkei RPF-1 wheels! Here is a little sneak preview of how they look on the back of the car. Our suspension portion of the project is almost wrapped up and we are about to moving forward on the V8 project car!

We posted this to our Facebook Friends on Friday as an early exclusive so go add us if you want the next one early. The cover features the new Gardella Racing driver Eric O’Sullivan with a ten question interview about his new team, teammate, and the new season. We also paid homage to the only two time champion Tanner Foust with a great write up called “The End of An Era” written by Joey Redmond. Jon Chase from DSTROYR wrote a guest editorial about how his brand has been impacted by the sport of drifting. In Focus section turns the lens to the Mazda brand and the many cars it has brought into the sport. We kick off Project V8 240sx in the issue and lastly throw out 2011 Season Predictions and Fantasy Drift tips.
