Reviving My Formula Drift S15

[@frankom1528]

Its your exhaust pipe ! The area of a circle with a diameter of 4 inches is 12.566 square inches vs a Ellipse w. Major diameter of 4 in and Minor diameter of 2.5 in got an area of Area 7.85 square inches ... point is : you got to run a Minor diameter 6.25 oval exhaust pipe to have the same flow as a 4" round pipe !

[@Joebobinator]

Even then he will lose a lot of velocity due to fluid drag because there's so much more wall for the same cross sectional area. It's the same effect as making a pipe super long.

[@andremanley7710]

Dammit Adam. It’s bed time dude

[@turbocateyeS475]

Bröther it's 10:25pm the night before Thanksgiving. There's no reason for a early bed time!

Brother, you have work/school tomorrow? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving man, you should be able to stay up late tonight brother

[@G_Ozare]

I can say this car is legendary. Absolutely beautiful machine. Hopefully the livery never changes.

[@syygnis]

I remember when he first got this S15, when it was getting built and his first drive on the street in it, was such a wild car. The old 3.4 2J.

[@brodieyule2386]

I remember when he took it to Enjuku to get built! Absolutely crazy how far this think has come

[@assaulttheasphalt6638]

Back when it was white. He pulled it out of his garage and sent it to enjuku. That was looooong ago.

[@syygnis]

@ that's it

[@slydwaysdrifter2159]

That’s around when he came into my feed. I was watching anything and everything drift. He came to me organically through what is popular in drift. I only remember hate from drift fans, from having him enter the scene. He is the absolute best thing for the drift community. Friends with everyone, enemy of non.

[@playboicartiisgoat]

remember he wanted twin t51rs on it

[@Joey-bj6vm]

Watching this crash was devastating. The whole evergreen crowd was rooting for you, you were definitely crowd favorite that year. When you crashed the entire crowd sighed so loud it was louder than some cheers. Like as a community we felt the suck together. Getting a podium was definitely redemption

[@landonbussieres1125]

This is one of my favorite cars you got. So glad to see her back!

[@HGChannel2020]

8:11 That clapback was valid

[@Jnlix1k]

Yo that’s me af! Must be a puertorrican thing🤣 i speak 3 Johan got me beat

[@ddiemundz]

this car is such a staple of your progress as a driver and your career. so stoked to see it back

[@Rwal2023]

Funny enough i just came across an old bookmark on twitter of this beast on the Seattle bank in 2021 absolutely screaming on the new engine setup you had in there. Might not have been the most successful car in FD history but it sure is one of the best looking

[@hogridercsgo9639]

Always keep your formula drift car like this. It looks so dope

[@grumpy5.3]

1:36 I'm so glad I have a little piece of this livery, it was by far my favorite livery on the S15. Huge thanks to Adam and his team! 🤙🏼

[@85aw11]

You generally can't time aftermarket cams to the factory marks. There will be a cam sheet with the timing specs that come with the cams and they have to be set or checked with a degree wheel and a dti on the valve.

[@dylanlobbestael]

You can, if the centerline is the same as factory. I assume they checked this…

[@Phin_Again]

The car that started the FD journey. Crazy to see how far you've come as a driver since this was first built.

[@colinpronev1674]

This really was the best looking car in FD

[@visionmauto]

Mike has clearly been on an inspirational music kick for his montages and I am 100% here for it lol. So much emotional depth to the history of your cars and other projects. Good stuff bois!

[@flexnix]

Johan's savageness.... 8:04 ............ 11:03 ............ 12:32

[@DaBaltimoron]

The production value on this is so much higher than a behind-the-scenes day-in-the-life shop video needs to be. Amazing!

[@VanishingImage]

I just love this car!! The 4 rotor supra has sort of taking it but this will always be a top one of my favorites!!

[@JonathanGT10]

I currently own a s15 and its my drift car, this car was the motivation to do it and I'm so glad I did. Love these cars and always will.

[@ashtogotstackz]

I don’t say this about a lot of people in life but I can honestly I noticed the change within Adam and the way he has improved within the last 4-5 years mans a beast and can’t wait for next year!!

[@Wemustmod]

I wish more car KZbinrs treated their employees like best friends the way you do. Been a long time watcher (and saw you slide at South of the Border many, many years ago from I95.)

[@Cooper3471]

@15:00 is such a subtle flex. Having enough cars that you have to schedule dyno usage must be something that is super annoying yet also very inspiring considering the circumstances

[@LeesGarage]

Pretty rad to see Johan talking about the S15 in front of the OG shop cabinets.

[@WILTONBarreto-m6x]

Projects like Alemio with strong use cases and a clear vision often lead the next bull run. Definitely worth considering!

[@NastyIsrael]

Crazy how Ken Gushi has a little car warehouse for his drift builds in the same complex where I work out here in Temple City, California ! Dudes such a good sport and would always help me with my s2000 whenever I needed some help mechanically

[@tailopez5106]

8:21 Was the wrong side brake caliper installed? I thought the bleeder valves always faced the top.

[@wrighrw2]

Ya bleeder nipple should be on top ......

[@scottnickel9872]

💯

[@sirmonkey1985]

they can be installed on either side. the bleeder can be moved to the top or bottom of the caliper. i think they put it on the bottom by choice likely to protect the cross over line.

[@giancarlov3740]

Mike. Well done you guys don’t stop with the quality sheesh! Video is fire

[@RustyShackleford9000]

LOVE this kind of technical build /tuning content 🔥

[@craigdavies69]

It will feel absolutely insane to drive with all that power under the curve, even without the top end power,love the S15 good to see it being worked on again 💙

[@Aussie-JP]

Damn mate I’m so stoked to see the S15 back!! Please make more videos with this beast 🔥💯👌 watching you build this car and entering FD years ago has built my love and following for drifting 😁

[@dominickschultz3479]

Im sorry glad to see thus car back on the channel. Love this car so much and it's what made me fall in love with the channel, watching that car do the smokiest and nastiest car imo. Loved seeing it get built too❤

[@Chocolate_dragon]

I haven't watched an LZ video in a year or so. Saw the thumbnail and had to give it a skim through. Good to see the S15 getting some love again. Loved this car! Hopefully the steering is sorted out this time. It always looked like the car was a fight to drive.

[@brodieyule2386]

I love seeing this car alive again!! One of my absolute favourite builds! Id love to see the signature fade again in FD but im unsure if it fits with the e36

[@lowlife4028]

Cant believe its been 5 years already, i remember the build like it was yesterday. Its great to see how far Adam has come..

[@petervincent6550]

Thank you Adam for the Garage Sale!! Finally got sick deal on some seat brackets for my Skyline!

[@MB7_7]

I have a tiny square off this car! Easily my favorite looking drift car when you ran it on 2020, always thought it deserved a proper look over everything to make it fun! happy thanksgiving!

[@Jonrichdelacruz]

i miss this car on the channel. Still the best looking drift car imo even tho the setup was never dialed but would love to see this at events. The potential on this build has never reached its ceiling and i need adam use it fr

[@VdubSPAZ]

Not only Can Cams be for turbos but the difference between cams of Autos versus manuals is big difference Most people don't put that into account because of the torque is different on a auto versus a manual that was something we learned a long time ago with the V8s but gets forgotten about a lot unless you do a manual swap sometimes you'll think about it because the computer will act weird without it

[@zach3322]

Always thought this was the best looking drift car out there. The livery, the triple chrome wheels, the color. Masterpiece

[@Jonrichdelacruz]

[@briankrepps8015]

Can you do a gran turismo style build but from the first few games like body kits and liveries from the “race modification “ on the game. I feel like you are a game character… in a good way and race and make money and can mod your car to get farther In the game to win the game. You always go so in depth testing and tweaking and I love that. And that you are able to do so with budget. You have so many cars and get to dial all of them to the finest. Mayb something way different than used to. Not a s chassis or bmw but I know they are tried and true chassis. Love the Corolla build cuz it’s a little pr style fun. And I’m sure some copyright gran turismo livery might be out of the question

Glad to see the old girl and you rippin again dude ! ❤️🔥
