I knew we would make it happen eventually but on a day with 74 entrants I couldn't be happier! Next step D1 Lights!! Need parts from Japan? / defyauto Filmed & Edited by: / driftgold
Against all the odds + Reliable home build rotary engine + working smooth perfectly fine S1 shifter + predictable and again reliable suspension setup hard work paid off Andrew...
The past 18 months of bad judging decisions, bad parts, and bad luck all coming to an end. Definitely deserved the win after all your efforts and resilience. Great job dude.
Damn good work dude! Can I just say, I live here too and there is absolutely nothing more frustrating than having staff for anything just talk straight past you when you know you have a point. Good on you for more or less keeping your cool i.e. not getting kicked out lol.
Congrats !!! After all the let downs the car is finally letting you do your thing and get wins. Definitely more to come and I can’t wait to see it keep up the hard work. 🎉🎉🎉
That’s such bulll shit they came after you again.. clearly someone’s totally jealous of you I’m so so glad you stood up for your self…do you think it’s cuz your not Japanese? Keep up the good work brotha your kickin ass!!
@@AndrewDate Hahaha no way!? Defend your case! Is it mainly just parts availability/source access and cost? Basically just keeping "simple" without overbuilding I guess?
@@TakumiFuji01 the problem with any oem replacement gearbox is purely size, the case and gears can only be of certain strength and its not uncommon for the HKS ones to break. The only advantage is the dog engagement but the shift speeds dont seem to be an isssue and although CD series gearboxes are an expensive conversion but once installed they are quite cheap to replace.
U got the 7 working soo good. I dont get why the rotor hate, i feel the noise issues go further than db aand this event/round, it seems u get a raw deal too often. Is that cos ur foreign an clearly killing it
@joz1751 I would like to think not but they're going to have to try harder to stop us 😊 I definitely wasn't the only person getting spoken to about noise but yeah it's hard to know what to do when we go there and test and get assured we are all ok but then comp days comes and we aren't ok..

The second point is remarkable! Probably the only one I've heard of.
I love your videos so much. It's the real "What's it like to drift in japan?", not videos of American millionaire influencers going to Matsuri.
hahaha thank you! Only about a week until all that happens 😅

can be a fine line of standing up for yourself or just looking like an idiot 😅
