ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back­to­ back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport­ compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel ­drive, tube­-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front­-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front­-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear­-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club

[@Tugboatpb]

The quality of this build makes me want to cry because I'll never be able to attain this level of perfection and cleanliness

[@WorkableWax]

Yes you can. I believe in you

[@rotor13]

Of course you can. It will just take a long time. I’m in the middle of a similar process of restoring a beat to shit FD RX-7 with a 3-rotor setup. The pain in the ass part I’m stuck at, is removing the front radiator support to make room for a better cooling system, but still be able to mount the OEM number without actually extending the from end. There isn’t an off-the-shelf setup I like so I’m ended up buying a totaled FD so I can hack up the front end metal to make my cuts and test fit everything before committing it to the actual car. I’m going V-mount setup in this case. But the mounting areas aren’t to my liking, considering I want to keep a/c, and all relays in the same position, and need to make some room for mounting Twin oil coolers and such. It’s a challenge. I’ve been working at this for about a year so far. Hopefully once I get everything fitted and finalized, I can work on making sure the entire engine bay is where I want it and can get the 3-rotor fired up and playing nice with everything by Spring of next year, so that I can be able to at least drive it to work out any bugs with the drivetrain before ripping it all out for body work. Mind you, I’m doing this all by myself in my spare time. With occasional help from friends when I need an extra set of hands. I practically have no social life and won’t have one until I finish this build. But I do take breaks from it when I need wait for parts to be delivered.

[@jacehultzen]

@@rotor13 fuck yeah man, glad to hear some people are still doing their own builds. Keep it up man there's nothing like original work. Good luck 🤘🏼

[@andersjjensen]

@@rotor13 Kudos man! Kudos! Keep the VIN plate from the totaled one. One day you'll be able to buy complete after market shells as box kits, like you can with old Mustangs etc. When that time comes a clean VIN is going to be worth good money.

It's very nice to find a channel that is not some random half-baked garage build. I am a mixed discipline engineer -mechanical and electrical- and I love what I see here. Every detail is carefully considered. Awesome.

[@ButBigger42]

Man, I want way more vids from you. No bullshit. No fluff. Just straight up information. Love it. I don't want to see your breakfast, workout routine, or none of that crap all these car channels are recording. I wanna see cars being built. Also, it is impressive seeing how effortlessly you do this stuff. Shows how much you know. I'm sure you've forgotten more than most of us will ever learn.

[@kaumohlamonyane272]

I am scared to know what the budget for this season is😮

[@AlexDrifts]

He runs a factory backed team, He gets most of this stuff for free plus he has a budget from Toyota and AEM I believe. If I were to put a number on how much of his budget he has spent (not including tools he has in his shop) I would put it at about 80-100k out of pocket. However If we factored in MSRP into the build assuming he paid for everything, It would be probably around the $350-500k mark.

[@RollAwayMedia]

@@AlexDrifts happy to find some people on youtube who know how to add up costs! i believe thats pretty accurate

$500K +

[@chris31795]

@@georgegeorge2526 Maybe, but maybe not. This man owns the most successful formula drift team in the U.S. and holds a number of records in the sport. He's not likely to skimp on parts, but he's been doing this for 20 years. A lot of places he goes likely gives him discounted rates simply for a shoutout. Advertising revenue is a hell of a thing.

[@mas921]

Yes

[@mostneuter]

​@@chris31795 in both case, it's a dedicated racing car, the cost won't obviously be low

[@user-180-mand90]

You have to think of these builds as Total Cost per Season of Racing. For example a WRC car costs 750K, but the total team budget for a year of racing could be 15M. Same here, if the initial vehicle is sponsored, the car may only cost ~50K in parts to create, but the total team budget for the season is ~1M.

Can't wait for the next episode!

[@Streamlines]

8:34 I am not okay with the orientation of your layers on this print! I guess this part will be loaded top to bottom, and front to rear. This layer-orientation is bad for both of these.

[@phillyskidog1]

@@URMZzZ I believe he said "more chip resistant than paint"

[@TheDeathskull37]

If you print it in ABS plastic, suspend it in a container filled with acetone without submerging it, and boil the acetone, then the vapors will settle onto the part and reseal the surface. This fuses all of the layers together and makes the part several times stronger. I do with all of my ABS parts. It makes them damn near indestructible. Lmao I hope he reads this, it's a very useful technique.

[@y__h]

@@TheDeathskull37 Does that work for the internal structure or just the surface?

[@TheDeathskull37]

@@y__h Mostly the surface, however that is where the splitting of the part usually starts. You do get some minor penetration into the center of the part, but not much.

[@Viskoze]

Keep in mind that mounts like that must break easily, otherwise there will be more damage to headlight. I dont know how strong it is in current form, but if it can withstand track and engine vibration it is strong enough. Anyway useful info in this thread

[@25Ezekiel17]

I'm curious about the effect powder coating has on the stiffness of the chassis.. since at 400 degrees you are essentially annealing the entire car 🤔

[@A_Man_Of_Culture_]

400 degrees isn't hot enough to have an impact on steel especially when it only lasts for 45 minutes

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Holy crap so much work!!!

[@danielmarshall4587]
