@@2jyeti909 if his back problems are anything like mine but, and from the way he's described it in the past I think they're probably pretty similar, big impacts and rough road aren't the problem. It more stuff like bending over at the wrong angle, lifting heavy stuff, reaching stuff on high shelves and stuff along those lines.
Yeah like Ken Block! (RIP) He crashed out all the time and he could out drive Adam on his worst day! Rally driving and fast Rally driving are 2 different things!
Way back when you and Jimmy did the rally Subi's I legit thought you were going to go the rally route for a little bit, even when you went up to that rally school thing. Would be sick to see you venture to that. There's nobody in the space that has produced rally content on top of what you already have and do.
Adam. I was looking at the rebuild of Mat Armstrongs 635 CSI on the Yorkshire Car Restoration youtube, and they powdercoated the entire car. All I can say is wow - its a great GREAT option and from doing only parts of my cars (because I don't have a full bake oven nearby) - it does hold up so well.
Adam, the level of car builds and manufacturing you have in house is unbelievable It’d be a dream to play the way y’all do. Please get into a rally car! I wanna see the joy bro.🤘
Would be awesome to see a collab with Brandon Seminuk! He’d be great for pointers and getting you into rally. Not to mention the box/bike similarities and that being both your career starts.
He'll Probably come here a d do the Irish round at Mondelo because he's familiar with the track and it's the closest easy to fly to and he'll probably do Riga in Latvia it's a brilliant track James Deanes favourite
Everyone who knows and loves a PWR products are good Australian quality. The Carbon Kevlar is crazy I would love that one my E36 or my 180SX it's been something I've wanted for years congrats for living my dreams 😂
Good seeing Owen in the vids! Gotta’ get that guy out of his shell and love to see what kind of wild ideas he can contribute to Team LZ….better make an extra bash bar while you have the car apart lol
Nice build guys , amazing how far drift prep has come over the years. It also gives newbies a good standard to aspire to . Hopefully gone are the days of crappy preparation, leaky engines, dodgy wiring etc etc . Being involved in motorsport for over 30 years mainly in rally and race the quality of build has come along way . 👍🇬🇧
LZ awesome vid and that comp E36 is gonna be a top tier drift car and with you and johan and owen and the rest of the team doing the fab work its gonna be a fabrication masterpiece and all that carbon so sick 👌 an with the 2JZ an absolute beast i know with your eye for style and how you upgrade your cars its gonna be so sick i cant wait to see it when its finished and you shredding that thing 🤙 and as always keep up the great work 👍
i used to work at pwr when they were called K&J thermal in currumbin, australia. Also got to drive Kee's AWD HSV monaro prior to him receiving it at holden. :D they are definitely the world leaders in cooling tech now.
For the fender I have seen people cut and bend the lower section in so it attaches flat in the wheel well, leaving the upper hanging or make a thin bridge to carry the wheel well lower to meet a splitter or lower trim (something like that). It is pretty aggressive looking imho and it does change the dynamic of the car quite a lot for being a "simple" mod, well, would be simple if using metal, then again, might be able to bend some of the c/k sheet because that stuff is pretty flexible.
i took this exact page out of the drift guys book for my e92 drag car. i cut the back of the car off, cut it down and acid dipped it. full oem e92 body made of carbon/fiberglass. looks like an oem e92 but only weighs 2420 with the built 8hp75, built 3.3l without cage. its pretty crazy how much faster the cars are when you take 1000 lbs out of them.
LZ i second to see you in a rally car it would be sick to see what you could do coming from drifting into rally cause they tend to slide those cars around alot also so you would probably be a natural 👍
I'd love to see more fabrication and car building as it happens, Yohan (sorry if that's not the correct spelling) is great at explaining things. Maybe a second channel that follows Yohan and your crew around closer to real-time? 🤔
The cool thing about Rally is that you don't have to have a lot of money to get into it. I've seen Honda's, Volvo 240's, Neons etc. do Rally with minimal mods.
1) Adam get your a** in a rally car. That run was really freaking good for being nonchalant. 2) Look into autoclaves for your carbon fiber pieces when the quality improves. It will help to mass produce your panels so you can have more supply than demand.
Johan!!! Seems like we havent seen much of johan lately, not even gonna lie, i been missing johan the master mechanic!! Good to see ya my guy! Edit: BE CAREFUL. But get in a rally car!!!
You should totally start a carbon line. Could start with 'universal' stuff like splitters or spoilers that you can make molds for & pump a couple out a week to build an inventory. Then, start building a catalog from there.
I’ve been waiting for Adam to get into rally! I know nothing about that side of racing but Would be cool to see him do what he did with drifting from 0 to wining a round in one of the most competitive series, but with rally
I would suggest you take more ideas from the circle track world for bash bars. They have some good ideas for slip joints on the bars so it gives a bit before it bends anything.
Please do a proper rally build! That would be amazing. The R32 "rally" build is fun, but I'd love to see you in like a Subaru or something. A fully built GC8 WRX would be amazing.
Have you seen Brandon Semenuk? He went from free ride mountain biking legend to rally car driver future legend. We would love to see you in rally with your drift experience. So amazing if you collaborated with Brandon.
It would be interesting to see a rally car build. Maybe through Adam's contacts in Ireland he could get all the parts needed to build a Millington powered Ford Escort. Ken Block had one - they are considered by many to represent the very pinnacle of rally cars.
Donegal international rally is calling to you.. last or second last weekend of june and there is always a massive crowd, lots of cars of all kinds in or at and some more drift orientated events in the evenings (king of the cone or the like, more of a skid pad thing) lots of noise, 2 step for 3 days solid.. bit nuts but I'm sure with your contacts you could get a car and entry sorted pretty easily. Though as a novice driver(in rally) you may be restricted to 1.6 fwd or something like the crx. 100% want to see you go down the rally rabbit hole.. especially would love to see you in some momentum based cars (like the crx) and competing. Maybe a historic race?(those guys go hard)
Idk who agrees with me. But rather see these builds vs the Porsche stuff Like i dont even like mk5 supras but likes watching it get built with the 4 rotor
if you wanna save more weight they do make billet 2JZs. Very expensive option but you get a higher horsepower cap in the thousands 2500-3500 versus an iron block 2JZ pushing 1300-1500 on the high end.
I’d 💯 love to see the transition attempt to rally, I’d love to see how many skills would transfer, also a massive test of bravery, how big are LZ’s balls?!?!?! (Love that scene from the rtr drift meetings)
I look forward to the drift builds, can’t wait to see this ripping overseas! Will you be able to add power if needed? When I’m watching driftmasters it seems like some of the guy (piotr, deane, Shanahans, mckeever, and rovanpera, and a few more) are much faster than the rest of the competition and ultimately do better.
I meant to comment on the gtr video in Colorado, But it would be so cool to see you do some rally. I believe there’s a rally race series in the the north east! I feel like your drifting would translate well to rally!
If you want to see one crazy drift car from europe that's an underdog, check Raman Kandratsenka. I've never seen a double wishbone converted BMW, with a GT3 steering wheel going full lock with 90° of steering.
Let's all "Rally" around Adam to rally race......./ 😁 Mikes filming position of him on the sim with the 3 curved monitors had my visual OCD in an uproar, feeling like a constant right-hand drift!
A backup camera and screen would be easy to mount for you guys, if your ECU doesn't support it, I'm sure you could just use a RaspberryPI or similar device. maybe not necessary but probably worth it
All I could think about was ‘06 X-games and why Rally is the absolute 🐐 Motorsport w/ the no fear wearing when doubt flat out representing on a US new gen closed stage….? Couldn’t even fathom the balls it took for group B!!??… Dirt, I believe was a sim developed off my favorite which I have thrown controllers over back when. Would have loved to play that w/ this setup. The wrap around makes the speed almost real. Btw…. …real situation, imagine Collete driving and LZ navigating?? That would be interesting 🤔 Feeling L-zed would be worse than mama-zed shotgun
