Man, it amazes me the quality and effort you put into these videos! Your intros are so fire, the way you edit them with the dope tunes and the sick shots of you setting your cars up to be worked on. It really makes them an experience to watch, like I just tuned into my favorite tv show or something.
I agree with your perspective when it comes to having a drift beater and a clean drift car. If you can have both you can drive the crap out of the beater and learn your limits and the car’s limits and when you’ve gained more experience you can enjoy driving the clean drift car without clenching your butt the entire time that you’re driving it.
Yep. Thrash the 350, kill it, and discard the corpse. Transfer the parts onto your next trash 350, repeat ad nauseam. Save every dollar you don't spend on bodywork or paint on the 350's or doing bodywork because you got too rowdy with your Vette or Miata for going back to Ebisu.
Keep thrash car a thrash car keep the miata as a clean build. the point of the 350 was to have a car that was on par with your friends and be able to go hard in with them.
His particular 350z that has body damage on every panel is a thrash car. If it was a clean starting point of say to make it nice. But that wasn't the point of this particular 350z, it's destined to bang fenders and scrap walls.
Byron Malkinson ikr I love it. You can tell he takes pride in his work. That's why sometimes his videos takes longer than other people that go to the same events. The wait never bothers me since I know it's gonna be quality.
No man save money for the Miata. This car is a missile for sure and it would probably take more work to make it nice than it’s worth. Then it’s a constant battle to keep it nice and expensive too. Once it’s nice, you’ll spend way more keeping it nice
1 minute into the video and I already replayed it 5 times to take in those unreal edits..Your time and effort is really paying off. Fair play :) Casey neistat of drifting I reckon :P
Casey is a pretty creative dude. You don't need to like him to appreciate the work and thought that goes into his or Taylor's videos. It's a compliment to Taylor.
About making the Z nice, I understand your perspective. But you could make it a little nice-er. Kinda like your Ebisu car. Pop out a few dents from the inside, rattle can the fenders and you're set...
I really enjoy the videos you make. You go into detail to explaining the what, why, and showing the how. Even if I don’t have the cars you own I can learn from your little tricks and the explanations.
awesome vid, Thanks for taking the time to put this out there. I needed to drop the subframe on my Z to replace the lateral bar after an accident and couldn't find a garage around me willing to do it. A++
This video helped me no end in having the confidence to tackle swapping the rear subframe on my Elgrand (not exactly the same but very similar). Thanks!
Dude I absolutely love love these longer videos! One question though, what is the sole purpose of solid bushings? I have a pretty good idea, but I'm sure you know more than I do so :)
One of those solid bushing kits comes with rubber washers , alum. against steel will make some noise , some kits come with adjusters , shims that fit between the body and the sub-frame
I don’t like coffee but I can drink cold brew and not kill my self drinking it. Family sells coffee and I have never liked it. Some benefits from cold brew is that it’s a lot smoother and has more caffeine. Also like the beater z. It’s raced and not a queen that sits.
I wouldnt worryabout making it nice-nice but id keep it in the decent state it is now. When you start having to climb through the car because the door is bashed shut then its bad haha. Just keep it functional
Idk if you will pin this but, when i go to click on your video’s, I know I will be watching what I clicked on. Not no bull shit like I click on when I see Streetspeed717 post something.
Dude that's honestly so true... I've gotten so sick of Mike's clickbait. He can have the most ridiculous crap in his title, but the only thing that's gonna happen is he's gonna look at his cars for 30 seconds, go to someone's shop, then talk about the title at the end of the video for 2 minutes.... So annoying.
Man i really want to see a big build on the 350z, maybe not even making it nice but rebuilding the engine, boosting it maybe, i dont really car. I want to get one and i love your videos because they're so informing, it would help a TON
Another good video. I wouldn’t say make the Z nice. But maybe clean it up a little bit some drift stitches on your bumpers and skirts and rattle can the fender blue so it’s not rusty looking. Good job on your progress too bro. Keep it up
If you really want to shrink the bushings go to one of that grocery stores that sell dry ice and then soak the bushings in a mix of chipped ice and alcohol. We use this method in the aerospace industry to install bushings
You've been inspiring me to get into drifting man! I have an e46 325I that I got really cheap last summer and now I've been thinking about making it a starter drift car to learn with! Only thing is that I feel like it might not have quite enough power(185 at the crank) but I guess I could airways jack up the rear tire pressurea bunch?lol I also have a rwd 98 Chevy 1500 with a 5 speed I was thinking could be a cool drift truck possibly?? Look at all the ideas you've planted!
When i take those type of bushings out, I always just torch them and use a hammer to smack the middle out and then i cut two slits in the metal ring and then hammer it out. Only take like 30 minutes to do four typically. I'm biased though because i do this type of stuff daily. PHAHAHAH. Literally typed this before you did exactly what i typed the second bushing. You go Glen CoCo!
I'd keep it _some-what_ nice, just wouldn't spend too much time and money on it. Take care of it and it'll take care of you. I've found that regular washes and inspections often led to me catching things before they got too bad. This equals more seat time in the long run. Plus, it's therapeutic. But, to each his/her own.
The drift missile doesn't have to be nice, but it should at least look like you spent some effort on it. Everyone who watches the video's knows the work you spend on making it function correctly, so the exterior should speak to that. Having paint that somewhat matches, pulling out the dents to a reasonable amount (like how the rear fender arch is currently) and making sure that the bumpers/skirts are at least attached at the start of the event goes a long way. Keep things rattle can & hammer vs Bondo & paint booth.
get a small bag and fill it with random sockets and tools you might need before sliding under the car helps me out a ton at work, great videos cant wait to see the miata shred
piece of wood and a small sledge will allow you to knock it in without damaging the bushings.....for future projects. the wood will deform but a good piece may do all of them.
Awesome video as always. Don't make the z nice. Maybe throw some bash bars on it to protect it in crashes/wall taps. Maybe even go apocalypse theme. Side note will you be at the osw after dark event April 14?
If you like cold brew coffee, check out Black Rifle Coffee Company, they have a pretty nice, non hipster, cold brew setup you should check out. Plus their coffee is amazing!

Man, I wish these videos didn't come out at 12am in the uk, but here I am. Notification squad
Never clicked off Tj's vid so fast
why would you click on it in the first place lmfao. he fixes his hair more than his cars
Keep thrash car a thrash car keep the miata as a clean build. the point of the 350 was to have a car that was on par with your friends and be able to go hard in with them.
D_ Baggington is it not still a thrash car?
His particular 350z that has body damage on every panel is a thrash car. If it was a clean starting point of say to make it nice. But that wasn't the point of this particular 350z, it's destined to bang fenders and scrap walls.
The amount of effort Taylor goes into for his intros is just a madness

You said it

Seemed like you liked Taylor at the start of this...then you end it by calling him Casey Neistat? Geeze.
Casey is a pretty creative dude. You don't need to like him to appreciate the work and thought that goes into his or Taylor's videos. It's a compliment to Taylor.
Pssssst, issa joke
RootedJay i misunderstood then. My bad. Have a good day

I Appreciate the time you take to do the intro
I really enjoy the videos you make. You go into detail to explaining the what, why, and showing the how. Even if I don’t have the cars you own I can learn from your little tricks and the explanations.
awesome vid, Thanks for taking the time to put this out there. I needed to drop the subframe on my Z to replace the lateral bar after an accident and couldn't find a garage around me willing to do it. A++
no need to make it nice but that black/rust fender is hurting my OCD
I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos, the beginning was awesome
Totally know you were talking about Alberto big boost in the beginning of the video.
This video helped me no end in having the confidence to tackle swapping the rear subframe on my Elgrand (not exactly the same but very similar). Thanks!
Forgot how dope his vette looked. Haven’t seen it in videos for a while.
The editing is fire Taylor !
The editing is 🔥
Anthony Colon I swear Taylor could make watching paint dry entertaining
I RoyallyRagedRedneck I would watch an hour long video of him organizing tools
Love this channel! Nothing fancy just classic tools and cars
Must b LZ cause he recently bought a Z to drift with his Friends something more "cost efficient" it's obvious
Loving the build Taylor!
Who doesn’t love a Taylor vid
Keep up the good work!!! love your videos and what you do, I know this cant be easy, so thank you so much for keeping true with your content!!
Dude I absolutely love love these longer videos! One question though, what is the sole purpose of solid bushings? I have a pretty good idea, but I'm sure you know more than I do so :)

Love cold brew. Also nice new glasses. Great video a always keep it up
Holly cinematic intro ! Love it
Make it decent like you ebisu car!!Hahaha that ice cream music 🎶!!I really enjoy those edits they got hella better!!❤👌!!
Awesome video man, thanks for the positive vibes.
I wouldnt worryabout making it nice-nice but id keep it in the decent state it is now. When you start having to climb through the car because the door is bashed shut then its bad haha. Just keep it functional
Great work Taylor. I need to do that to my s14 badly
Idk if you will pin this but, when i go to click on your video’s, I know I will be watching what I clicked on. Not no bull shit like I click on when I see Streetspeed717 post something.

Watching anything streetspeed should make you feel bad anyways. His content is pure cancer...
nathan ortiz same
make the 350z drift car nice or "it looks nice from 10 feet"
Looks don't make a hill of beans! As long as it runs and drives the way you want it then keep on riding it.
3 years ago 68k views 2021 now averaging 140k views but what im really trying to say is stay golden pony boy your video content is always good
1:33 coming up is a three day drift event.... puts up four fingers 😂
Love cold brew man.....LOVE IT!!!!!
I love cold brew, I made some with deathwish coffee (aka the strongest commercial blend) and it was glorious.
Like the new hair cut. Much cleaner.
Man i really want to see a big build on the 350z, maybe not even making it nice but rebuilding the engine, boosting it maybe, i dont really car. I want to get one and i love your videos because they're so informing, it would help a TON
taylor is working on his own Z, that makes sense
Ice cream truck montage for the win!
Look. Look. Look. Woulda just look at it just look at it 😂
Another good video. I wouldn’t say make the Z nice. But maybe clean it up a little bit some drift stitches on your bumpers and skirts and rattle can the fender blue so it’s not rusty looking. Good job on your progress too bro. Keep it up

About to tackle diff busing on my 3fiddy......... Thank you for the video...... Also thoughts on the tein setup before your bc upgrade?
Noti squad keep it up man will be hopefully get a mx5 mk1 or mk2 myself soon get some seat time 😃
Cold brew coffee is the best coffee!!

+Taylor Ray don't forget the Transmission oil level :) Keep up the good work - love your videos and overall vibe - love from germany :)
Love me some cold brew. It's amazing. As far as the Z, keep it beat up. I kinda like it. I do miss the Vette a little bit though.
the diff bushings in this car are the real culpret
get a small bag and fill it with random sockets and tools you might need before sliding under the car helps me out a ton at work, great videos cant wait to see the miata shred
Is the event at osw?
Do you have a thing against using a creeper? Concrete is killer on the back!
Would you recommend that Milwaukee head lamp? Been looking into getting one for awhile but haven’t yet
the drive shaft if i remember right is carbon fiber oem. no idea if you founf tht out i paused the video
haha this video is over 2 years old but im about to do this on my G35! Thanks for the info abd guide!
cold brew is fire
i bought a harbor freight bearing press for this specific job... you did it the very difficult time consuming way
Can’t you run a small weld across the race of the bushing to get it out without cutting into the subframe?
What's your cold brew? I've never been too much of a fan of hot coffee but like iced. Never made it before however and don't know how?
love cold brew!
Man you really been putting work into this thing but at the end of the day your going to have 3 nice drift cars
You should also try the Milwaukee M12 Hackzall!
What impact is he using at 2:45? 3/8? 1/2?
When are you getting a Garage creeper ?
1. In the oil field, we call grinding stones "donkey dicks" 😆
2. Loved the ice cream truck montage! 😆
vskfs are so fire on the vette idk why you dont just daily it on them
piece of wood and a small sledge will allow you to knock it in without damaging the bushings.....for future projects. the wood will deform but a good piece may do all of them.
Awesome video as always. Don't make the z nice. Maybe throw some bash bars on it to protect it in crashes/wall taps. Maybe even go apocalypse theme. Side note will you be at the osw after dark event April 14?
Great video
you'll probably never answer but did you use the spacers included in kit?
I'd like to see an episode like "budget drift car cleanup". Maybe some tips on making the car a little nicer with a little bit of time and money.
Re: heating [cooling] parts - steel usually expands [shrinks] 1/1000th of an inch, per inch of material, per 100 degrees of temp increase [decrease].
The infamous Ice cream truck strikes again
Are you going to put bash bars on the missle z?
Lmao that ice cream man is a hustler you have to give him that
Cold brew, beer yes.
Cold brew is the best
What model is the small impact driver that was in the floor in the back of most of the shots under the car?
have a salvage yard sponsor.... yes keep it ruff
i love cold brew!
New hairstyle ? Looks good
Ferris Bueller you're my hero...
If you like cold brew coffee, check out Black Rifle Coffee Company, they have a pretty nice, non hipster, cold brew setup you should check out. Plus their coffee is amazing!
The 350 is the the beater you got it to send it so just send it don't make it look nice use that money to keep it running good
🔥🔥 as always
I'm sure you have said it in another video but what lift jacks are you using?
Why did you get the corvette as a drift car at the time
Ferris Buhlehrs day off 👌👌
I love cold brew.
TJ hunt the person Taylor mentioned in the beginning?
Daniel Spooner or Evan
Don’t really watch Evan!s videos
