JR let me simply state that you are the man!!!!!

The DA DVD is awsome. So question for you is when you guys coming to CANADA!!!! I am a fan but it is hard as hell to see drifting let alone get merchandize and actual pro drifters out here in the great white north. So think about it and don't forget about us CANADIANS!!!!

Peace out, and once again your are the man!!!!

Setting an example

I just want to thank you and all of your team for pushing that MUSTANG to the limits and setting the bar for future stangs coming into the drift scene.In the beginning I must say I didnt really like how you and the car were coming out on the track and just not mending but as I watched ,read articles on the motor buildup I found some new respect for you and the car.Your a GREAT driver JR and I am glad to see that the car has worked out for you.It has encouraged me to keep building my own project and not to give up.I watched last year and the car,you,team falken,just DOMINATE!

Good luck with your indevors,

First steps i would reccomend in order

get a good seat that holds you well, get some coilovers or at least stiffer lowereing springs and some good shocks depending what your budget is. Tein flex are whhat I run and they are great. When you are practicing at sanctioned closed courses and other safe enviroments ONLY, dissconnect your traction control fuse and Abs Harness. DONT FORGET TO RECONNECT BEFORE RETURNING TO THE STREETS.

That should be a great start.

When you are comfortable. get a good tight aftermarket Posi DIff, A good clutch (exedy is best on Market and will last forever) and contact XMP www.x-m-p.com and see if they will send you spindles or modify yours for more angle. Contact Alex @battle version get some custom rear arms to stiffen up the rear.

When you are comfortable with that setup add some more power if you need to however the stock power and torque is enough to have fun and you really wont have to worry about breaking to much.

Good luck be safe!

[X-M-P Guru]

JR's right. the new Mustang is very easy to modify for drifting. Shoot us an e-mail or call and we can tell you the diff, bars, arms, spindles, power adders, shifters, clutches, or whatever else you wanna you know from basic set ups to all out competition.

Most of the parts on his car were all custom made but the aftermarket has finally caught up since we built it and most of the parts are shelfed items now.

Good luck!
