HGK Eurofighter E92 vs The LZ Compound | Behind the Build

We're taking an exclusive walk around with Pro Latvian Drifter, Kristaps Blušs. This drift legend will give us a complete tour of his monstrous E92 Eurofighter - a high horsepower V8 beast.
Kristaps Blušs, the Latvian Drift Champion, is renowned for his aggressive driving style and mechanical precision. His E92 Eurofighter is a testament to his dedication to the sport and the art of drifting.
Get ready for a detailed overview of this high horsepower machine - from the engine bay to the cockpit, we'll cover it all. Kristaps himself will be sharing insights on his car's setup, the modifications, and what makes the E92 Eurofighter a true drift machine.
And the grand finale? We're handing over the LZ Compound to Kristaps. Watch as he brings the Eurofighter to life, throwing it into corners with precision and showcasing his impressive skills. It's a sight you won't want to miss.

Some drivers: "he scratched my bumper!!!" Kristaps: "Take my pro car for a spin in the middle of the season."

[@yveuh1267]

yes but i didnt give it to the first guy too, its adam he know his ,place and know how to drift so there is nothing to worry about

[@VelocityFreak]

Granted, this isn't his current pro car I don't believe, this was the original chassis from 2017 (he mentioned near the beginning). His current one is very similar in looks, but I believe is different.

[@JayyMM4Life]

@@VelocityFreak this is the same Pro car.

[@brokesports6732]

@@VelocityFreak this is the car he is citē tlt running in fd

[@SupraStar29]

​@@JayyMM4Life it is the same one but he just meant that he has an newer eurofighter build that he built for europe/Russia comps at the time.

[@bproofsteel]

Letting Adam rip around the compound in his FD car definitely shows something about Kristap's personality. Gaidam pjedestālu.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Mad Mike also cool guy..

[@carlooooo0]

More of this from other FD guests please.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

That BMW is a freackin beast..

[@georgecjr]

It is awesome to see an interview with Kristaps. He seems to be a straight to the point type and builds great stuff. Having Kristaps, James D and Chelsea running this year is making it exciting. They all are just beasts that push their hardest everytime they are on the track.

[@WLS_Churchill]

Driving the Eurofighter at home is what you can call a dream, lucky you Adam

[@jkflorida]

Shoutout to Bluss. Letting someone drive your Pro car mid season is wild!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Just shows that even the guys in fd know Adam has skills behind the wheel, he just doesn't perfom well under the pressure of high level competition.. Yet

[@foxxstain]

he has a backup car bro and he owns the team so

[@JJR_77]

@@Matty.Hill_87 we can't expect him too be in all honesty, we still technically a 'rookie' in FD

[@Matty.Hill_87]

@@JJR_77 exactly, once he's got some experience under his belt it'll be a different story

[@vad1mkisel]

Kristaps is hgk, a team that produces PRO drift cars, so he promotes his service, because Adam may want to buy 😅

[@itscaptainterry]

Hell yeah. For everyone watching, Kristaps and his team are from Latvia (population = 2mil), the same country that just happened to beat out US for 3rd place in the world hockey championship.

[@brutaldrift]

every other kid drifts here he is inspiration for all of us. We drift crazy here

[@cobratuner]

The fact that an FD driver from a different team let Adam drive is amazing. NO ONE DOES THAT!

Its latvian people baby, blušs is the mvp ❤️

its a retired car tho

Wrong, everyone does that

[@DAlexander96E]

I had the opportunity this past winter to meet Kristaps and he gave me a tour of the HGK facility and I must say, it is top notch. If anyone ever is in Latvia, I highly recommend going. An absolute standup and humble guy and his personality translates well on camera.

[@mareks26]

Latvia represent! Proud of our guys from HGK

[@samuelhoward8504]

This is awesome, i feel like Kristaps doesn’t get as much publicity anymore. It’s good to see him back

[@vipecrx]

HGK car for Adam's european car.

[@TenzkiNa]

Kristaps such a humble guy and eurofighter still looks fire. Adam should joind Drift masters Riga Baby at Bikernieki track with it :P

[@DriftHQ]

Yes he should!

[@petrissmalga1993]

Yes yes it's Riga babyy..😂😂😂❤

[@carlooooo0]

I like this series. Dope build breakdown.

[@devonvanwyk5066]

Check hoonigan

[@DriftHQ]

Thank you for watching bro!

[@B-skidz]

That will always be known as the craziest baddest e92 pro car 🔥

[@poplaurentiu4148]

When he present it first time and images spun out on internet i was in shock.. Carbon-kevlar was a material used on WRC Group-B cars but here is raw unpainted it looks mental and with all mods clearly looks like the Supreme OG APEX PREDATOR..

[@exTnRoxx]

Kristaps is just a wholesome and humble guy! Respect!

[@Skreamies]

Loved the HGK cars for years while they were kept over here in Europe, glad Kristaps started branching out to the US so more people could see them and know about them! They always make such brilliant looking cars as well every single time. Also just realised this layout is like a mini flat Road Atlanta haha

[@DriftHQ]

Thank you for watching

[@FranksGarageOfficial]

I still remember when Kristaps had the eurofighter bright over. Basically off the shipment container straight to the track kicking ass

[@triotrio1000ify]

I remember the first time I seen Kristaps on Adams channel was when Aaron Losey was bullying him over bringing an “overbuilt” car to FD at the SEMA show. Now Adam sells his parts and they’re cool 😂

[@tinyrisu5966]

Aaron came off like a major D in that video XD

[@richardfuller3566]

Want Kristaps ALSO throwing shade? I vaguely remember him saying something about Adam

[@kaspars1998]

Really hated Arron that time knowing from where HGK is coming, this year their team in Atlanta was only 3 people, including Kristaps.

[@Freeman_AF]

His response was spot on, though. And now look at FD! Kristaps knew it was coming.

[@zerozero_73]

@@tinyrisu5966 I feel like Aaron is always complaining

[@bavarianhero]

When I went to my first FD event at LB I seen him. The dude is hella taller then me, I didn’t know who he was at the time but after years of seeing FD seeing this car on video I still can’t believe that that car is that incredible. It feels like it still has so much more to offer. Knowing KB, that car will be there.

[@luckyboy3333]

Favourite youtuber and home country hero, what a duo💪🏻

[@nolingatewood5182]

i remember when Blušs and Aaron from lonestar got into it at sema several years back. dude seems down to earth. just another entrepreneur

[@eiyzyiel8957]

Adam should do more of this .. Not only for this channel or his own channel , this would be a great addition for his podcast channel ...

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Next one Mad Mike from New Zeeland..

[@collinmorris]

This is a super cool segment, and interview. He seems like such a great dude.

[@theneck5157]

Great interview!! Adam should do more of these with some big names … he can show behind the scenes with top drivers because they will explain more to Adam knowing he drives and races and builds so they will open up more

[@Militaryshoplv]

Kristaps Blušs -the best! Greetings from Latvia 👊🟢

[@nielsreiziger4850]

If there's a legendary drift car then it's the Eurofighter for sure. The engineering and craftmanship of it is still ahead of its time.

[@jra5624]

That thing is sick. This is my first time seeing it in FD this year, and I immediately loved the thing. It's simple but still very beautiful and very well done.

[@kingcobra_gaming]

Literally my favorite drift car ever….. good job Adam!👍🏾👍🏾

[@elviscukurs2671]

I am from Latvia, and I was waiting for this video!

[@jamiemcilreavy4827]

[@tribewu3223]

Legendary car… still remember the first time I saw it on the Hoonigan channel 5 years ago

[@gafrers]

One of the best (if not the best) Quality Drift RacCar build Ever

[@fucksusanwojcicki]

When he's saying it makes 1100-1200 torque, he means newton meters, which is about 800 ft/lb. It literally is not physically or mathematically possible for an LS, or any motor, to make over 1000 ft/lb when its making peak HP at something like 8k rpm

[@SupraStar29]

Yes. This should be higher up

[@MichaelAverycarhauler1969]

I like this series! More nowzzzz!!!

[@Mix_Lv]

A proud moment to be latvian

[@mihalis1010]

There's a couple dudes here in Sweden running Eurofighter kits on their cars, and I tell you what, these things are something special to see in person. They just have a presence about them. I believe the two guys here that I know of are running single turbo M52 engines with spray.

[@fifthgear93]

This was such a cool video to watch, especially the driving at the end. Adam should've pulled out one of his drift cars to do some tandem with Kristaps.

[@WheelzOH]

Oh my god, that engine is beautiful

[@davidmunne4136]

Yo the fact that this car was built so “long ago” and it’s virtually the same it’s wild and no wonder he doesn’t look as crazy as before, thought it was the same motor as back then. He’s to this day on my top5 FD driver list, crazy aggressive diver. And gotta love watching him change his own tires on the FD live. I aspire to be as calmly bad ass as this dude
