whats up guys, I am Tyler Wolfson. This is my FD3S and I've had this car for a couple years now and its been through a lot of crap. Crashed it into lots of things and had a lot of fun with it. The time has come to completely rebuild it from scratch and I am going to do my best to share my build with you guys.

I can't say what series we will be running next year yet but I can say it will be drifting. Our goal is to create a car that runs problem free and is a lot of fun to drive. We have been fortunate enough to have a good bit of support for this season and are able to finally build a quality car.

Thanks Turblown, can't wait to get my manifold!

DK absolutely! always good times. Tandems with you at XDC or whatever they called it was a blast.

We made a little progress today on the cage and test fitting some of the body work. Also started on the bracing for our transmission. and harness goods!

I talked to Tyler a few days ago. He hasn't slept in 3 days...but the car has a base tune. and the car is absolutely immaculately built. FUll custom adjustable arms etc. A dead serious machine
