Daily drive to daily drift
Daily drive to daily drift
The first thing I did was sell the wheels and got Demon Tweeks to build a custom exhaust for my mx5. I got a savage jap can with a 3.5" tail pipe then a custom welded straight through cat back centre pipe.

I also made sure that it was built on an upswept angle and coming out on an angle also.

I took her to a few JDM meets and was getting a lot of attention from the look I gave her but I decided to go full jap and try to change the look completely.

At this point I didn't know what style to go for in the jap scene whether it would be JDM track, JDM stance or Drift. but after stepping into a friends Nissan Silvia S15 that was tuned to 350bhp and set up for drifting I decided I knew what I wanted to do.
I bought some steels and started to practice drifting around my local industrial estates and at night going to some quite roads to use roundabouts. I then purchased some rota fighters and had some toyo proxies put on them. to start off with I thought oh no too much grip but the extra grip helped sustain a good drift. I got bored of this any way and decided I was going to try and make a drift car that I could also take to shows and well show it off

I purchased a japspeed extra large BIG GAY WING. I thought I should get a spoiler that would put my mx5 on the map so people would remember it. but after a bargain of £250 I found out it was extremely big and worried that if I couldn't get a wide wheel to go with it the wing would look stupid.

Then finally after two weeks my car went from the JEM look to the JDM drift look. I bought some new rota grid v wheels 15" 4x100 8j front and rear with et0. the wheels were black and I later found out in this size these could only be purchased from the us so they are a rare sight.

Now the wheels were on I got the spoiler fitted it and tbh I have got nothing but good reviews and amazing attention drawn to it. the car has turned out great but far from finished. I have a stand pass with outlaws so I will be bringing the 5 to show with you guys what do you think?
john wan Oh my god that wing is bigger than the car when you go out do you collect cyclists and prams? Realy like the rims mate
lmao its huge but its a big gay wing it would look like a Halfords special if it wasn't that big. cheers mate wheels are really nice only actually got them yesterday and fitted them on took it for a drive.
