I was hoping to blog this stuff as it was happening from my phone, but I’d gotten a new blackberry and it just wasn’t connecting. Got it sorted now and ill just recap the last 2 days or so. Out with the old! Yanked out the old bullseye s362 which was t3 flanged, and I think was choking the motor, especially if you see that the manifold was originally T2 flange and we just made an adapter to work.

Ok, most people know I hate working on cars, but I love to drive them. I’m about to fit this Bullseye power S366R onto my RX8, and then send it off to Europe! Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

In my travels to Asia in the last 2 years, I found one of the best drivers I have seen in a long time, and a hell of a good guy. After lots of hanging out and seeing him drive, I get to tell you that we have added Tengku Djan to the DA brotherhood. He’s a sick ripper and a great dude, here’s the official copy….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Drift Alliance team is excited to announce the addition of a new driver to our Drift Alliances aces team, Tengku Djan Ley. Tengku Djan is a drifting powerhouse, and his long list of achievements is staggering. Djan is the 2009 FD Asia Champion, 2006 D1DP Malaysia Champion, 2010 FD Round 1 Singapore Champion, 2010 FX Open Malaysia Round 1 Champion. Tengku is a drifting icon in Asia, and is revered in his home country of Malaysia. In the words of Drift Alliance President Tony Angelo “I’m extremely excited to have Djan on the DA team. He is truly a world-class driver, and he stands head and shoulders above his Asian contemporaries. To develop one’s skill to such a high level is extremely difficult and to do it while being isolated from other top competitors is astounding.” Djan plans to make the move into US drift scene in the coming months and he will be sure to have a large impact.

The Drift Alliance team is made up of the best and brightest stars in the drift world today, with more FD and D1 wins than any other American team. Drift Alliance drivers are renowned the world over and represent the true spirit of American Drifting.

OK,
Here’s what’s new!

-Moved back to the Northeast, where I belong, and where it is mega awesome. I can’t wait to get back to driving at Etown and other NE tracks, have fun, make videos, and do burnouts.

-East Coast Bash is THIS WEEKEND!?!? YES, the biggest excuse to throw a party on a track with your friends, and occasionally some people will drive, a lil.

-Josh Herron and Will just released what is probably the best looking drift video I have ever seen this week. It’s the Forsberg recap of ATL FD. It is incredible, watch it, then watch it a few more times. I hope that I can get those two to come out for a day of fun with my Rx-8 with some similar results.
