Mad Mike's First RX-7 Drift Car "FURSTY" - Throwback to 2006

Before he became and international household name, before Redbull and a shed full of mental drift machines, we met Mad Mike and checked out his first drift competition car, FURSTY. The NA 3-rotor was a crowd favourite due the style, the noise and Mike's crazy driving. He's worked hard and come a long way since. Well done Mike.

I think mad mike is personally responsible for the price of rotors in new Zealand these days lol

[@nemohoes007]

Should see the prices in oz

[@MaxCotton]

This is so cool, Mad mike is insane and it looks link Lincoln is going to follow in his footsteps 👍

[@provethemwrong5604]

And no power steering! He is the man !

[@carpetmantis]

Love how it was still running mostly stock brakes and hadn't been to cut up and tube framed like it is now, and I'm pretty sure it's a 1996 s7

[@cable-xc1ex]

I still remember his wagon burnout while sitting out of the car almost

[@Ryan-hf9qz]

I remember when it got stolen and seeing all the posters up at petrol stations

[@rx323bug]

At the manukau velodrome?

[@ThatHoodlum19]

[@stevendixon4723]

[@Shauny808]

By far my favourite of his cars, the 20b NA with digi cammo. That car used to be all over my wall.

[@Generalusuer]

Straight og. The level hes at in this video is basic grassroots now. Crazy

[@cappo_nz]

I vaguely recall that the current MADBUL is still the same shell as this original car

[@K20Mike1]

Still have my ignition dvd volume 001 with this feature in it, 13-14 years on its still my favorite version of his car!!! Turned many people on to rx7’s with this feature alone 😎
