Buying the most INFAMOUS drift car ever built…

- The time has come for a new pro drift car on the channel. While the MX5 NC with the SR20 engine swap was a cool idea, it never really paid off. It was time for Josh to step up into something more powerful, conventional and competitive! That's why we decided to track down one of the most infamous drift cars ever built. Now, notice we didn't say 'famous'. This car has done more crazy stuff, had more crazy drivers and created more drama than any other on the planet. Now, it's ours...

I did not know you guys existed, before the fire. TH-cam algorithm decided I should see the "we lost everything" video, for some reason. I've never particularly been into drift racing, to be honest, though the cars look cool and whether I'm interested in the sport or not, I can see all the time and skill and energy that go into some pretty damned impressive (even to me) cars. Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Ash.. I have watched, liked, commented on every single video of yours since the fire, and am impressed by how you guys are springing back from such a devastating loss, and I am impressed by the community(s) coming together to help you, and the people coming out of the cracks who'd rather see their cars appreciated and loved than sitting in garages 'waiting.' You've made me a fan of what you are, and I will continue to watch your videos, and look forward to seeing you rebuild your world. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, I had the same! This is definitely a channel where I think I could watch anything just because the personalities involved make it so interesting, but now I might fall into drifting (and more worryingly the drifting money pit lol). And just from what I've seen I have immense respect for these guys, and I'm so happy to see people have rallied around to help.
I'm the same, I'm into GT racing and F1. My son is the JDM fan in the family, but I now have to watch this channel, in the hope these guys get back on track(pun intended) and yes I agree the cars look awesome. Good luck to all at Drift Games
Welcome to one of the BEST car TH-cam’s around. You’re going to fall in love with Dave and the boys.
Same here
this is the best comment I've have ever read in my 14 years on TH-cam !
“One car survived the fire and we don’t even want it.” 😂.
Good call. That mx5 was a downer
Well it could be used as something else still...
running through the tally of issues with the mx5 certainly made me feel better about the 3rd engine in the e36...
I feel that too with my second engine for my Cressida.
im about to be on my third might just 1j swap so it stops breaking
You are far from alone; Going on block #3 in our turbo m50 e36 and 4th in our turbo m20/m50 e30. Mostly stupid issues like a failing injector, sticking thermostat causing the block to overheat, etc., etc. Comes with the territory of racing anything
Same, second engine in my first gen rx7, hasn't seen asphalt yet, but want it to be ready before it does so I'm taking my time. 6 years into this project. I need an actual camera so I can film work being done. Was planning on it last year. Was going to buy equipment and actually get started on a real channel, then life happened, I have a 9 month old son, & remodeling my first home that I've paid over 50k on already. I think once I build a shop out there, get done with remodeling, & buy some film/editing equipment I'm going to get back on track with starting the channel. I have plenty of projects of my own as well as projects I build for friends. Including my, 80 rx7, 04 (I think) rx8 roller (soon to be LS swapped), Pontiac 400 powered 77 Chevy k10, 99 silverado, 04 Honda 400ex (extremely modified), & lots of others to come, friends vehicles include 96 mustang gt (built), gsxr 600 (built), dual sport, lots of dirt bikes/other street bikes, a few other ATVs including a bike engine soon to be swapped into a Yamaha 350 warrior chassis, I'm part of a local car club, we go on cruises, go to a lot of events & such, I think stating a channel could be very beneficial for me.
Lowbrain S13 is honestly legendary and you're 200% correct, this car couldn't have had gone to a better home. Please make it red with a black roof again!
As soon as you guys said Australian fans might know the car I knew exactly what car it was I'm BUZZING FOR THIS LETS GO!!! The mini docuseries for that IDC season was what started my love for this sport
I was like is it this that car in my brain then I seen the trumpets
Same! Ive seen those trumpets before!@thatsimracer666
100% , same here, Iconic car with some very iconic driver history. Awesome to see the boys picking it up.
Dave putting his boys first one by one… leading by example….
Blows my mind how underrated Luke Fink is considering how much he has done for the sport, what a legend
He's Australian. We don't have a proper drift series. Put him in formula d and he'll do great things
@@coreysolly9739 yeah I know, im from Aus too. Thats what I mean, through his competing and running Archy and everything that he's put in to the sport it blows my mind that he doesnt have the credit that he deserves. I agree with you, as much as I dont think FD is everything, a solid season or 2 would probably help alot.
It is actually comical, how out of all the cars the only car you don,t want survives. I still miss the Corvette.
Us too 😢
Full carbon V2? @@driftgames_life
Good luck with her guys I owned that car for years so happy to see you have it now,
I still have the chassis plate and log book somewhere for it.
No way that’s insane!
One of my earliest memories of the drifting community was where Luke Fink was up against Jack Shanahan, Luke damaged the rear suspension mid heat so was given the 5 minute rule.
That's when I saw what the Drift community was all about as I saw Jack's dad, John, run straight over to Lukes pit to help get the car back up and running so he could battle his son! It was amazing to see and as much as we all love seeing these things do things that cars really shouldn't be able to do, it was even more incredible to see how much compassion everyone has to see everyone suceed.
If my memory serves me right, Luke was driving this car at the time.
Insane to see it back out and clearly in the right hands. Enjoy it guys, go tear it up!
Shanahan’s are major player in the game over the weekend
Tbh, I love how the NC turned out. Yes, it had moments since being built, i hope this isn't the end of it. Maybe just throw an oem mazda engine and turbo it(grassroots style). Now seeing Josh in an S13 will be a new chapter, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's to come of the new project. 🤘🤘
Maybe an LS to make power and be reliable
He said it's going in a street car
I agree with turning the NC back into more of a grass roots style with a basic motor/turbo set up! keep the car around as it one of the only cars to survive!
Just throw in the cheap as chips 2.5L Mazda mzr/ford duratec
I just wanna see Josh do his best not gonna lie.
Its always been tip toeing around problems.
Really glad to see this!
Lads, Lucas kills it with the videos and sound tracks 👏
Luke Fink in that yoke was the most entertaining combo 👌 can't wait to see that car back out
MY BOYS ARE BACK
It's so amazing to see not only the drift community, but the car community as a whole pull together for a member of our family. I never had a doubt in my mind.
I was thinking about this car a couple of weeks ago and wondering if it was still alive, fantastic to see it hasn't been stripped and even better see it in the hands of driftgames. Apart from James Deanes cars this has always been a personal favourite. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it and good luck to Josh, onwards and upwards
Never in my life did I expect Drift games to own the Low Brain S13, such an iconic car. Cannot wait to see what the future holds with this one
Only way is up 🇮🇪✔️
Yazz!!
.... All while looking out the passenger window on the lock stoppers
get around it
I’m from America, and I recognized it by the door bar! Please put an S13 front back on the car! The Battles between Luke Fink in this and James Deane in his S14 are legendary!
I remember when it had an RB25 in it as well!
Can’t change the front end it part of it’s personality, sure it lights from a Honda minivan ,
@@dougieirvine3980 it originally came to the UK as a BN sports demo car if i remember correctly, used to have Full BN Blister aero- the odyvia swap was blasphemy at the time as it used to be the best looking car on the grid
Like a droopy RWD Accord. Jesus only spoke of his father’s Accord btw…
if the livery doesnt have flames on it we dont want it
It will
😂😂
you guys are a massive inspiration to people you started with nothing and built up to what you are now and disaster struck with the fire but that never held you down you guys kept going hard and are on the road to recovery with your heads held high. i take my hat off to you all you deserve every bit of credit you get and the content is always on point. you guys have done amazing well done keep up the good work. wishing you all the best from sunny scotland
MX5 is just a miata. Call up Taylor Ray, hes got that perfected. Simple LS swap and a few other additions, damn near bullet proof
Exactly what I was thinking.
Exactly sr20s aren't known for their reliability anyway so a ls would be a logical step
Then why did Taylor build a Corvette as his pro car? He said himself the car wasn't able to compete so he had to build another. Don't me wrong awesome build just honest make much sense to run an mx5/miata. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Why isn't there any civics in pro class? It doesn't make sense nor would be competitive.
@@ivanvargas8951 pro spec vs pro. Josh is not pro level. Do you even understand classes? Taylor did great with it until people showed up with full blown FD cars. Hell even than, he beat them more than they beat him. You must be new to here 😂😂
@@ivanvargas8951 Taylor had a vette before he did the Miata project. The vette was his roots in drifting, and has more expandability than the Miata did. The vette also has more bay-space to modify than the Miata does, so any upcoming changes in rules and regulations would be easy to adapt with the Vette. Taylor has talked about it in the past. The Miata is his baby. The Vette is his "Okay, cool, I need to compete and have room to grow with the sport," car.
Proud to have been able to support and awesome to see the channel on the bounce back!. Also Dave massive props to you on focusing on lifting boys sprits of the team. keen to see where the next 12 months take you guys from here!!
cannot wait for my shirt to arrive
When Luke Fink came over and drove that thing! best weekend of drifting ever!
I'm so happy to see you guys busy and moving on! Keep it going! Can't wait for more content!
Found some photos of this on a old harddrive from about 12years ago the other day 👌🏻
Use to be in a shed in a lydney in Gloucestershire
That's an insane story! I was there at Mondello the day Luke took this car out the first time and it certainly left an impression on me and many others. Good luck Josh and enjoy it!
Glad to see the lads getting back on there feet
This channel is so fire. I have no doubt you guys will rebuild and be better than before. Grateful for your tenacity, I’m excited and inspired watching the content. Keep it up ❤
Love to see y’all building it all back piece by piece! This car looks ROWDY! Great content as always, much love from Texas!

Love it , hope you keep the soul of the design too .. I'm truly delighted to see ye bounce back so quickly and can't wait to see the new canon gear in action
Cool vid.Well done.Nicely done.
Congrats on the car ...& getting the branding too...
Even After losing everything in the fire.
& the fire thing happened to my shop too years ago & no one gave a crap...
Still struggling after 10yrs since then..
Just goes to show how blessed you guys are & how glad you can be for having all the media platforms.
I cant even afford my daily commute...hence Im living at work in the week.
Be Very Happy where you are
You guys are amazing! Wish I could support in a bigger way. Sure the views and likes are awesome but you guys deserve much more!!
Realy love to see you guys gettin back in good spirits and stick to what you love to do. Hoping to be able to visit a Adam LZ worldtour in Europe this year. So hartwarming to see all the support to the Driftgamescrew that is well deserved. Love from Holland🙏
That is insane! So stoked for you all. Can't wait to see more of this car and Josh stepping up.
I didn’t know who you guys were but TH-cam sent me the We lost everything video and I felt so bad for you guys, I bought some merch to support but let me just say that I’m here for it all now! It is super exciting to see all of these new cars pop up and it really is just amazing to see how motivated you guys are to get back and running! I can’t wait to see what more you guys have in store! Love from California❤
You guys are awesome, been following you for some time now and I can't wait to see the future of drift games I believe it will be bigger and better than ever before keep up the wkd Vids drift games team 👍🤟
Your city street in your garage was inspiring and I found your channel around the time you shared it, there will be people who do special things because you showed them what is possible. Thank you!
I just looked down, and I am wearing the "Never Give Up" T-Shirt while watching this video....made me happy.
Coolest pro / comp. build we’ve seen in ‘24. Possibly the richest history of any car that will run this season worldwide. Warmed my heart to watch this. Love you boys and can’t wait to see what all you guys accomplish in these next 5 months. ❤️🤙
Great episode. After you said Australians knew the car I was abit shocked as I don't know of any pro cars that have gone from aus to Ireland.
Those big pipes out of the bonnet gave it away before the shed was even open.
Absolute beast of a car, hope you guys enjoy it
You guys just continue to prove that nothing can stop the Drift Game boys!
Loving the updates guys, keep up the good work!
Amazing to see how much you guys have recovered in such a timespan. May God be with you all!
Excited to see your new beginning...Good things are headed your way 💪
SOOOOOO damn glad to see progression with HUGE smiles on everyone's faces. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON GENT'S!!!
This is so bloody awesome!! Can't wait to see it on track. It's going to be an amazing year ahead. Love you guys, all the way from Australia
Awesome guys can't wait to see the end result. I know Josh put alot into the NC and probably one of the best out there but it defo was a headache for you guys hopef5 he will have more luck with new car
Hell yeah this is gonna be exciting to watch, I love the content guys, let's keep on moving upward and onward!!
Yes guys!!! The only way is up, and you lads are smashing that! Keep it up & you'll surpass where you were pre fire ❤️

I found your channel right at the start of lockdown and got to watch the full process of this car live and I agree it’s time for it to be retired. It’s had it’s time
So happy for you guys. Sick whip🤘

Look forward to what happens next
Awww man the memories, Back when i did media this car always generated a buzz and there would always be more people trackside when it was out. Glad to see it in good hands and being used again!!
Excited to see you guys get back to doing car stuff. Good luck competing this year!
Damn Guys ... This Got Me Hyped Up ,to see this again ... iconic car but to you guys it means alot aswell ... Keep Up Stay Humble .. 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome,so glade to see things moving for you guys
This is mental! Great news. Cant wait to see how it comes out and also cant wait to see how Josh is gonna do with new machine!🔥🔥🔥

Yell yeah killa 👌love your work boys 🍻
Siiiiick. So happy for you guys! Piece of history
Yessssss boys. This is sick.. you said Aussie and I though Luke and V8. Stoked to see the work over the next few weeks and Josh step up.
That's freaking awesome!!! Congrats guys
Guys i'm so happy with this ! So happy to see y'all smiling and getting back to it ! Huge love and respect from Switzerland and thank you for waking up the drift passion in me.
What a perfect car to bring the channel back! Its such an iconic car and looked amazing driven as hard as it always was. Between Fink and Ffrench this car got some amazing aggressive runs. I think the mx5 should get a near stock 1uz and it just turned into a fun bash car so it still gets enjoyed and doesn't get lost from the channel
I'm so happy for you guys, this is an amazing car I remember long time ago I was in Essex at my first drift event and this car driven by Luke went against my friend Leonard Kepert and in the final against James Deane, I was amazed about the sound of this car
