Best “sim” channel out there. Thanks for sharing your journey. I raced in SCCA for years but wanted to try my hand at drifting, also learned on AC and really appreciate all the info. My kid is 9 and is an incredible drifter in AC. We plan on getting a Fox body Mustang and drifting the shit out of it next year, Wife Willing.
Great video, and driving! It's a lot of work getting the car prepped, but always worth it. Good to see a behind the scenes video, keep up the good work
Appreciate it man - Yeah I moved over the winter, miss running up at lanier for sure. Debated getting some nicer looking aftermarket wheels but these things take an absolute beating and I don't cry when they get scratched so I'd be hard pressed to find something better.
love the vlog, hoping to see more! especially love that you show maintenance and all, as someone who is forever planning to get a "toy car" one day but noone was there to show me how working on cars is like with most of the youtube channels showing only ripping and fancy garages making car mechanic stuff look like a fairytale. old man noises all the way!
Awesome video. Your videos on how to start in Assetto Corsa really helped me get started recently (still only like 30 hours in assetto so still a lot to learn lol). I've been wanting to try to start IRL drifting in my G35. Every video I see of someone with a 350z with the HR motor has overheating issues. Hopefully you can get that worked out. Looking forward to the next one. Good luck on the axles this weekend.
Appreciate it - I think it might just be A VQ thing in general. Other guys there were DE, crashed one had an upgraded rad and the other was also struggling with temps. First time I've had a problem but also first time I've hotlapped on a track as intense as this one so we'll see what a flush does and go from there.
My main worry about going from virtual drifting to is the cost. So a few questions: - How much does upkeep in general cost, say on an annual basis? - How much do tires cost and how often do you replace them in the average, say two hour drift sesh? - Which parts of the car are pushed to breaking point when drifting? Which parts need replacing most often basically, and how often? Love the videos, keep it up Janky
Honestly these are really complicated questions to answer. Depends on a lot on the chassis you're running, for example the Miata guys can do it cheaper because the tires are so much smaller. In general there are cheaper ways to do everything, like getting used tires instead of new, but it's definitely not a cheap hobby. Tires are by-far my biggest cost. You've also got fluid flushes which are probably a few hundred dollars per year. My car has busted some axles and wheel bearings so far, but otherwise has been pretty reliable. I generally go through 2 tires per event, but there are folks that are a little less aggressive on the throttle and have tires last multiple events. My car runs 18 inch wheels, so the cheapest tire I've ran has been around $85 per, or about $170 in tires per event. Again, driving style and chassis makes a pretty big difference. The most common parts you'll see damaged are axles, wheel bearings, differentials, and tie rods. In an ideal world you have nothing break during the season, but even just driving cars regularly on the street you can't predict when things are going to break. Just luck of the draw. Honestly best bet is to hit up some local events, find the most broke looking people there and ask them how they're doing it lol.
@@JankyDrift Tire cost is wild. Coming from videogaming, the idea that every time I drift I'm slicing off the surface of my rear wheels, that just never occurred to me before I played Assetto. And I'll take your advice and walk up to the most broke looking person at a local event and tell them I'm impressed by how they manage to turn up and drift even though they look look so raggedy and poor. You promise this works, right? Cuz I can see some flaws...
All gopros. Have a mount on the roof right over the windshield. Then headrest mount, and another suction cup inside on the windshield which was the one I said was moving around too much in the video.
@@vincentlevesque30 so I run my cameras on linear FOV and I think that movement effect might be a part of the stabilization. All my mounts are solid but the cameras I guess might move around a bit with inertia. You can get mounts that pivot with wind direction though. Something like this: drifthq.com/products/swivel-mount-rotating-mount-for-drifting
How much is for store the trailer ?? I’m debating to buy one and stored because I don’t have space for it at home!! U-Haul make the work but is getting expensive !!
Found one for $100 per month. Would love to find another local spot for cheaper though, they have a few websites at least by me where you can rent garage and field space so I'll be keeping an eye out going into the winter.

absolutely beautiful drifting!

very enjoyable watch
I really enjoyed this format and would watch again for sure. I’d be keen to see the repairs too
Fun to watch in combination with valuable experience! Thanks!
Great video, subscribed ✌
Great 🔥🔥

@@thesprawl2361 haha maybe consider phrasing it a little nicer than that, but yeah that's the gist.
Hey man love the videos and I can relate to you on a lot of ways. What kind of trailer is that.
What's your camera setup? The one on the top turning with the car? It's really nice, I want to do the same for my drift videos!

Thanks for the answer! How do you make them spin with the direction your car is going? Especialy the one on the top, it looks good for tandem!
