DSTROYR Features Buckey Laing's Drift FC!

Check out my Feature on the Dstroyr site! Learned everything i know through the Vegas Drift Series, and will be finishing up the rest of the Vegas Pro-Am Season with my Newly Revamped FC! Gotta thank Nicholas Dizon for giving me a solid series to come hone my skills in a safe environment. I owe you man!

Huge Thanks to Jon Chase, and Kid Yosh Media for the Opportunity! I really appreciate everything you guys have done for me!

I'd like to Thank ALL of my sponsors who are contributing to my 2011 Season and being the first ones to stand up, and be by my side as i grow as a driver, and work my way up the ranks in drifting.

Cool!

But I have no idea what you were thinking when you replaced your headlights for those tiny *** fog lights that don't flip up. Rear bumper looks goofy too.

Any more pictures of the engine?

thank you guys! i'm still waiting on dzus fasteners so i can attach my rear bumper. it is pretty haggard looking right now. it's just resting on the car.

This car was totaled at one point, and the entire back end was grafted on from a salvaged title fron end hit FC shell i had. Tube chassis rear. the mouldings weren't painted in time for these photos. i hate it too.



The reason for the lights is because i gutted the mechanisms out, welded them down. this is a full blown race car. if it ever sees street use it's to go hangout at the meets once or twice a week.

i hate to say it, but damn i do too... i'm just trying to hold to my roots. my motor hasn't been giving me any issues, or let me down yet so no need to switch it up. i wouldn't mind saving an FC from the junkyard, and doing an LSX to have a dedicated missile car.

As in a backyard ornament or a junkyard car? Because that's what most FC's get used as. I don't understand what you mean. Rx7's are built to be driven hard, and Buckey drives the *** off his. And it goes to the track regularly. How's that not using it to its full potential? There's a bunch of 7's that have never even seen a track and to me that ****'s a shame.

Dope car breh.

Thank you sir. I just get sick of seeing the same cars at events. FC's in my mind are far more superior than the typical S-Chassis cars. Just trying to be myself, and have a competitive car at events. i saved like 300lbs from my last years setup and the car feels pretty damn good. i just need to get my money saved back up and finish my GT35R setup, and make some damn power for once.

i want to hear this car screaming bloody murder riding on some nissan doors cracking wastgate scaring them! haha

the other one was hit in the front end. it was somewhat usable. if i would've done a tube front, and pulled the shock tower straight then i would've kept it.

this car has almost $5k in fab work with the cage + interior/engine bay welding + paint, and more valuable than that - alot of good memories. this car has taking me to some pretty cool places in life and with me only being 21 i want to keep it around as long as possible.

i scored another black TurboII shell i saved from hitting the junkyard. it doesnt have a title. but im trying to file for a lost title, and use it as just a stock style missile car to get seat time in so i don't tax my race car everytime i want to drift and be stupid.

i need to stop getting involved in wall graze contests... i'm so over them haha
