I'm sure you know the driver is Jesse Streeter, I actually did an interview with him. This was filmed around 2005, he had stock knuckles back then so he couldn't give the car too much angle. For the famous curb kiss he actually went to a D1GP driver named Atsushi Kuroi and asked him for scrap stainless steel for the bumper so the curb wouldn't rub through the FRP and Atsushi thought he was an idiot. Jesse says he has not progressed much in the past 8-10 years, for him it's more about the joy of doing it. He says the street drifting scene is way smaller now but he mainly drives mountains with his close friends so as long as he can do that he is happy. The PS13 featured was also a pretty basic build at the time with only a few mild modifications. I have archived the interview but if anyone would like a google link to the full article, I don't mind creating one !!
@@only_of sorry, just seeing this but i’m pretty much fixing the article now and i’m going to add it back to my site so i’ll have a link here in a couple hours
After seeing several of your videos and being subbed for a short while, its crazy how few subs and views you receive brother. Your content is next level, between the synergy of your background music with the clips, to the shear time and effort put into these videos. Much love and wishing you a successful '23
I never really saw Phat Sliggity in that sort of light until you brought it up. I was gonna say the old Risky Devil vids, Itoh's feature on V-opt and the JDM Insider westco feature were (and still are) my favorites, but they definitely do not share these elements with Phat Sliggity so i definitely get your point of view.
@@urasuras7514 sure is, and it's even cooler to me that Koguchi, Itai and others who came after him in the 180SX game ran his stickers as well (and yes I know Koguchi started way before Itoh but his debut as an individual drifter was i think 2001-2003, as was his start with the kouki 180 platform). I see itoh as someone who revolutionized the kouki 180 the way that Hiraoka revolutionized the zenki 180 (and the 180 in general), and the way Tsuchiya revolutionised the 86.
Btw I like your videos, seems like Honda boys get what original drifting is all about, maybe it has something to do with how they appreciate the grassroots aspect of racing in Japan or they just recognize real, keep it up.
Drifting peaked in the late 90's early 2000's, nothing comes close to that raw and authentic feeling of those days, those times will never be surpassed again
You should do more death/fall videos not that many people put as much energy as you do like the fall of speed hunters just an idea Great work man keep it up
