*CRAZIEST DRIFT CAR EVER MADE 😳 MUST WATCH!!!!!!*

Alright guys, welcome back to Geo By Look Reviews, today we're at my mates garage, Cowboy Crew Garage and I'm just going to show you guys around and introduce you to Alfie the Madman and his S14A drift car. So yeah, come on in, let's have a look. Tell us a bit about your S14A drift car man. So it started life as an import S14, so this has actually got the facelift on it afterwards, because it's a later model, it's a 1994 model, entered the UK in 2008, it then became a BDC spec car all the way through to 2011 and then they were nice enough to stick a nice 4 litre M60 B40 V8 in it for us. Now we're talking. And then she's been holding strong for 9 years now as well, so she's absolutely solid. Alright, yeah cool, alright, so who made the car BDC spec then? I believe that was all done by Raw Motorsport when they were doing a lot of the drift stuff back in the day, but that was going back into like 2011. I know they still do track day stuff and track cars, I don't know if they're still tampering or doing stuff with the S bodies, but they did the majority of the roll cage and they did the installation, or the basic installation of the M60. We just made it more solid and better as it went on and just made the drivability issues better and reliability issues better. Ok, so basically the work pretty much was done but then you guys basically refined it and basically done it to your own specs. So we made it, instead of using the engine mounts that were custom made for the engine, it's been chassis mounted, so it takes the weight straight off of the subframe itself, takes the weight off the steering rack and everything like that, and sticks it straight into the chassis itself, so it doesn't actually twist, it doesn't move, she's absolutely solid under load. Yeah, perfect. Full M5 E39 6-speed Getrag gearbox. Yeah, you ain't breaking that. The only problem is, when the synchros go, the gearbox is done, so it's an unrepairable unrepairable gearbox. So it must be a weak point then on them gearboxes. Yeah, but they'll take a thousand horsepower. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the gears are massive on those. But yeah, it looks like the engine's sitting quite low in the back, so that's quite good. Yeah, she's really balanced. When you consider what was in there, like the SR20, it doesn't sit as much forward, to be fair. The only thing you've got is you've got really big pulleys on the front, so it just means having to move the radiator forward a bit, but other than that, everything on it's just brilliant. Nice, man. It just keeps going. Must rip, man. Reliable as well, innit, the V8s? Yeah, man. Like, last year I ran it at, like, stock power, which was like 280-ish brake. Unfortunately, whoever owned the car before me stuck the most stupidest exhaust system in the world in it, so it was 2.25 on the headers, straight into a 5-inch collector. Oh no. Straight into a 4-inch centre section, straight into a 5.5-inch back box. So just mix and match, basically. Yeah, it was sapping, like, low-end power. Yeah. EMP done me a great job of doing a full system for me, with a Japspeed back box, so when I do eventually break the back box, it's cheap to repair, just get my boy in. Yeah, that's it. She's 330 brake, 460 Nm of torque, fully mapped ECU, it's got a higher redline, new pole, yellow jacket, coil packs, SR20 rads, custom thermostat that we made. The Fab Racing expansion tank, so she holds 2 bar of water pressure at all times, so she actually gets cooler faster just keeping the engine on than she does leaving it to cool down itself. The delivery itself was done by Mr Violent D himself, Mr Craig Weston, absolutely smashed it out of the park. He sent me, like, a rendering and it doesn't even compare to how good of a job that he did with this. Like, he smashed it out of the park. Unfortunately, within, I thought, three weeks of having it done, my bonnet just left the building. It just shattered on the motorway. He won't go into how fast I was going, but it was enough to lift the bonnet straight off of its hinges and all of its mounts, so yeah. So my sponsor, Cyclone Signs, did the bonnet for me, well, the new bonnet that I got in the end, and absolutely killed it, wrapped it, did everything. Nice. But yeah, she's running full CST, no, sorry, CS2 HST coil overs all round, OEM lower arms with the extended front knuckle, sorry, the extended front lower arm by 25mm, Duo Masters all round, because all the talk, she squats, and I want her to squat flat. And then she's got Driftworks arms everywhere else. And then, a G.O. by yourself. Yeah, boy. That G.O. by Luke, yeah? Hell yeah. How's it feel? Mate, the car's so different. It's so much better. I can just throw it in however I like. And the thing is, I get my money's worth out of my tires, so I'm not getting no uneven work. Yeah, you're using your full tire now, so yeah, money's worth. Let's walk around to the back of the car and have a look, see the spoiler. Countrylabs wing, more of a universal fitment, but I've ummed and aahed about having one of these wings for ages, and then one came up at the right price, and I kind of couldn't say no, as soon as the lab turned up, and like pre-mounted it on my car, and I was just like... Sold. Had my money. There's like loads of little things that I've done just to make the car a bit lighter and more ergonomical. That is cool. It's got a flat floor, so on S-chassis, your chassis rails run really high up. Yep, that's it. And you can't really do anything with them because of how sunken the boot is. So what we've done is, we've flatted the floor, we've put a brace, and I had a very big impact at Santa Pod. Oh no. Backwards, basically, into the wall. I hit the whole rear quarter, and the damage was absolutely minimal, but the speed that it would go in at was a good 50, 60 mile an hour, and I've seen S-chassis and BMWs where it's been written off up to about here, whereas it was only written off to around here. Oh, that's cool. So all of the chassis rail took the brunt and just distributed the impact across the car. Nice. Battery relocation in the boot as well? Yeah, yeah. That's nice. So she's full BDC spec. I'll show you some more bits. Tell us about your exhaust valve. I was bored. I did one for a customer, and I had some exhaust pipe left over. And then as soon as I put the spoiler on, I was like, well, the spoiler sits out quite a bit, so should the exhaust? So if I'm going to hit one, I'm hitting both. I'm not going to know about it. So yeah. I mean, I heat wrapped it, because, again, I had the heat wrap lying around. I was like, **** it. 720s all around. Oh, I love these wheels, man. The concave is unreal. Yeah, so I run a 8.5 J on the front, 9.5 J on the rear. All my wheels are all 9.5 J rear, just to keep consistency. All my tires, I try and keep exactly the same. It's just a case of playing with, from there, it's just a case of playing with pressure and your shock free load and going from there, really. So it depends on the track. It depends on what I set it as. But the less I have to mess about with, the less I have to go out on track and relearn as I'm going, basically. Yeah. Let everyone know what the red toggles do here, Alf. Yeah, so like I say, she's full comp spec. So when the car is running and I have, say, an accident and I'm incapacitated for whatever reason, and the engine is still running, we'll pull this one and it will shut the engine off. So it's an automatic fuel switch, which leads inside the car. And then I've got full plumbed in fire extinguisher. So when the pin is out, when it's on track, if my car is on fire and again, I'm incapacitated or I can't get out of the car quick enough, this, pulling this will activate the fire extinguisher and will squirt me and the engine bay on both sides of the manifold right where the fuel is and extinguish the fire at ASAP. Perfect. So it's got all the safety features as well. Hell yeah. All right, let's have a look inside the car, see what we've got. I haven't really done a lot with the interior for a long time. Before Drift Matsuri, we went and did a day at Teesside and the seats that I had, I had a set of brides and the foam kind of just kept falling apart. I kept sliding out of the seat, essentially, even though I was strapped in, the seat just kept coming away from me. I was like, I couldn't, I couldn't handle it, especially if I'm spending all that money to go to Wales. So I went and bought these Driftworks Suzukas, a pair of those with the Driftworks harnesses, which has the additional feature of being able to hook up for a six point harness if I ever need to. I like how you've done it all black and orange inside. Yeah. Nice touches. Just to keep the theme going. Yeah. I updated the roll cage myself, so I added the crossbar with the gussets. I thought whilst the dash is out, I'd try and get in contact with a few people and find someone that can tidy it up. The one thing I hate is a stripped out car, but I hate the fact of having the stock Nissan carpets and sanded and all that. It's just weight. It's unnecessary weight. So I found a flocking company called Thank Flock for that. Rob there has really, really helped us out. He's smoothed out the dash. They had loads of cracks in it. The perfect thing about this car is because it is an import, it's got a JLM dash in it, which means that it has no airbag. So it's nice and smooth on top. It just has a nice bit of softness and focus to the interior. So when you're just sat in it, you're just... It's a nice place to be, isn't it? And then give us a little insight on the hydro and the setup on that as well. A lovely Nardi Deepcorn steering wheel. Always wear my gloves when I'm driving it because these ain't cheap and I don't really want to have to replace one if I don't need one. Got the temperature gauge. Because it's a V8 and it's a BMW V8, nothing works. I've got the fuel gauge, so it's the most important thing. Aftermarket temp gauge. I like the hydro quite out of the way because it means that if I need to grab it, it will take me too long and I can correct it somewhere else. So I'm not always grabbing the wand if I don't need to. And then recently I've just got this lovely V2 IRP shifter, which is really direct. It's got a full pin lockout, so when I'm on track, all I use is 1st and 4th. So if I want to get into 1st, I just pull this lever and it releases the pin. And I can select other gears and go reverse. But if I want to, I can't do anything with 1st and 4th. Yeah, that's cool. Nice. I've got my fuel and fans up above. I've also got the power steering, which is an R33 rack, so it needs 12 volts to activate. And I've also got the interior and fans as well. But yeah, the interior is quite simple. Fire extinguisher. Poundhill fire extinguisher. Again, emergency pull there for the fire extinguisher if I ever need it whilst I'm on track. Cut off and then key to go. Alright Alf, do you want to let us know what projects you've got on the go and what builds you're doing at the moment? Yeah, for sure. So we do the odd general customer car. So this Skoda ain't nothing special, so don't worry about it. It's literally in for some maintenance. We've got my girlfriend's MR2 at the moment. Unfortunately, when we bought the car, it had loads of stuff done to it already. And then just out on a standard drive, it started misfiring. Replaced plugs, replaced leads, replaced injectors. Still misfiring, cylinder one. Last option was a compression check. And yeah, there was zero compression in cylinder one. Once you get that done, it'll be cool to get that on the channel as well. Yeah, we'll get that on there. You've got a lovely V8 over there as well. Yeah, so I love myself a V8. So I picked this one up at a deal from Garage D. So thanks Julian for that. This is an M62B44. So it's the 4.4 BMW engine. We currently have a project going on with my partner that I work with doing a lot of stuff in the garage. He's also going to be my next teammate to go to competition next year. So we're going to build him a car that's completely identical to mine. And then we'll just literally everything. Engine, gearbox, livery. Livery's going to be a slight twist. So it's going to have his company name on it and a slight different colour. But the graphics itself is going to be exactly the same. So that's going to be cool, isn't it? Yeah, the spoiler, everything, all identical. Doing a lot of fab work. I will not make a roll cage because I haven't got the patience for it. But I'll happily reinforce the subframe. I've now made a jig for certain parts of S14 subframes. So I can literally make the reinforcement brackets and reinforcement plates. Do it all there. Yeah, and he's doing it as well because they crack, man. Yeah, they are known for it, especially on the back plate for the subframe. They're well known for it. Got a 4A-GZE. That one kind of just ate itself on idle at the garage. So that's out of an A86, but because it's a 4A-GZE, this is actually out of a Mk1 MR2. So it's the supercharged version. But they dropped straight into an A86 and people love them because you can get 240, 250 horsepower out of a tiny little car. It's boosted, isn't it? We'll show you more of that in a bit. Random assortment of parts. Another 1UZ-V8. That's for another customer's car. That's off of a shop blast at the moment. Believe it or not, that's going into an MGB-GT. Oh, nice. Yeah, that should work. But they're 260 brake, they're around 320 torque, I think. In a tiny little car like that on an RX-8 gearbox, that thing will fly. Loads of assorted parts, tools. Let me show you the reinforcement plates for the seat frame. Rear diff reinforcement area. Nice and simple. A bit of welding on the old diffs. What diff's that out of, Alf? That's an S14 diff. It's an open diff which needs to be welded. We'll get that sorted. What's all those panels up there for? We've got an S14 that I've got sat outside. This is just a wide-body kit. I've also got a wide-body kit for that MG. I never thought they'd actually do a wide-body kit for an English car, especially of that age. All the spare bits for the S14 project we've got on the go. What's down there? Again, all the S14 bits for the S14 project. Adjustable arms. I literally pulled them in, pulled them apart, greased them up so they're all nice and free-moving, ready for a geo by the man himself over there. What's this for here, that machine thing? This is just a polishing wheel. Sweet. The garage itself has two parts. I do a lot of the drifting, a lot of drifting set-up, like fab engine installs, engine swaps, stuff like that. The other part is the person that I do a lot of track day stuff with. This is his classic Porsche 928. Unfortunately, on his last outing, the head casket went on the second or third lap or something. That was pretty much a day wasted for him, unfortunately. We've just put another engine in. Standard, nice, simple 4-pot. Because it's part of the Heritage Race Series, they have to be max 140 brake and no more, and they will get tested dyno. They've got special brackets and parts in the fuel system so the fuel system gets tested for octane before a race and after a race. The scrutineering is insane. It's got a four-digit dash, all the electric cut-offs, all the fire extinguisher, basically similar set-up to mine when it comes down to safety equipment. It weighs hardly anything. Your normal MX-5 is just over a ton. This is like 900 kilos. It's mostly fiberglass. It just weighs absolutely nothing. It's weird, it's got a rear transaxle so the gearbox and diff are one so it's got a huge tube that runs through the middle. The driveshaft itself goes everywhere. It's weird. Good fun though. It'll be nice to see it back up. So yeah, this is the V8 S14 project that we're doing at the moment. We've stripped it all down, waiting just to get the Porsche out so we can put it on the spit. Going to be cutting any of the rust out, fully tube front end. Again, cut the back out and reinforce the rear chassis legs. That 4.4 V8, M5 gearbox, 3.69 rear diff running gear. Yeah, all the arms, all the gear is going to go. It's going to be done, hopefully before the end of October. We'll have to come back. If you have a look at it now and compare it to then and then you can come back and have a look at it. Definitely, yeah. This is one of my customers' AE86s. This is what's going to be running that 4A-GZE. It's quite a special car to be fair. It's got all metal rear arches. It's got a TRD gearbox, TRD diff. It's got Tine custom coilovers all around. It's got the V-Wave rear wing. It's going to be quite sad really because once the engine is all built, it's all mapped, it's going straight up the sill. To be fair, they're quite rare nowadays to see these. They hold their value a lot and it's nice to see one that's not white or black. Yeah, that's true. This almost looks like a Smurf colour. I always say it's like Rizzler Blue. I like Rizzler Blue. I remember that on the Suzuki's back in the day. Then we've got one of my friend's slash customer's cars. This was a forceful buy to be fair. He wouldn't listen to me and twisted his arm and made him part with money and got an absolute bargain of a car. This is another V8 set up we picked up. Nice clean build. It's been done by, I think it's called Sunset Drift Team up near Middlesbrough. Shout out to those guys because they're absolute legends. I've met them a few times at Teesside. Obviously, you can tell he goes to Santa Paula a lot with all the bolts to stop the Geo from moving out of whack. This thing needs a lot of love to be fair just to bring it back up to spec. The list goes on. There's a lot of rust that we need to deal with. I was going to say it's quite rusty. It's not as bad as you think it would be but it's all in the standard areas and standard spaces that you'd expect on an S14. We're going to do rack relocation better tie rods because it's got cut and shut extended tie rods do a better job with the Geo, which is where you come in again so I bring it over to you. We're going to get it all nice clean running, give it a service make sure everything's up to par but yeah for what you paid, bargain. We like to get that on the channel. Earlier we had those wings this is Sam Blowey's 1JZ S13. It's got a HX55 turbo on it. It runs apparently around 520 brake BMW 320 diesel box I've just redone the whole chassis loom re-ran a load of wires re-wired behind the dash I'm waiting on some parts back from Garage D at the moment just to finish some bits off and then we've got a full wide body kit for it looking at an aftermarket ECU because it's got a Greddy E-manage piggyback on it at the moment which is alright, it does what it needs to but for a turbo car like this that's running this size turbo and this sort of power it really needs something that's got more safety features like a Cybex or a Link sort of just to look after it and get rid of this MAF as well Yeah that needs to go in the bin It's old school isn't it? Yeah it's old school technology It's got a wastegate Yeah that's the screaming pipe there When it was bought here the wastegate itself was pointing down and was actually touching the steering column so there's actually a small groove in the steering column where it was and you could feel it on certain bumps that it was getting lock bind where it was touching the wastegate itself so we flipped it, I put a nice hole in the carbon kevlar bonnet Ah nice fitment and it just keeps it on point but again it's nice simple, it lights up the rear wheels it's got a S15 rear subframe and diff in it I don't know what the end ratios are but it goes and then just a missile car again same kid that owns that S14 over there just a 328 with a bit of jack flavour it's got a jack can on the back No way I recognise this Is this not Pete's? F***ing hell That actually makes it sound quite good That's jokes That's funny man Jack can on a BMW engine So this is his practice car to learn in He's done one drift day in this I set it all up It's got cut knuckles Who done the knuckles? I don't know I literally found them online I personally learnt in one of these MX5 I've had 7 of these They're bang for buck If you want to know about track, drift, grit They are quite fun Who's is this then? This is my best mates Is there anything spicy in the engine bay? I did a full engine build on it Unfortunately because of magic that is Japanese wiring mixed with English engineering Someone's put the most horrific immobiliser in the world Carbon bonnet It's just not drivable Yeah basically So we've got Alley Rad by Mishimoto K&N intake kit Oil filter Relocation oil cooler Wide body kits by Rev9 I got bored Added some gussets Deleted the ABS New clutch and master cylinder New clutch kit I forget what manifold that is There's a load of other trick bits to go on it Once the interior is back in It's got a full red leather Made by Ferrari It's got some expensive bits on there Mishimoto It's got good quality stuff It should be reliable As long as he looks after it Which he doesn't This is what I'm around to Put it back together And make sure she's sweet And that Golf over there That's Pete's This is one of his projects He's got too many on the go I don't know if that's ever going to see the roads But if it does That's going to be a weapon Let's be fair Alright guys I'm about to go for a drive in Alfie So much nice front end grip There's like a degree of understeer That you can Turn into a little bit to grip it And it will chuck the back end out perfectly Loose when you're not on power As soon as you're on power I hope you guys liked that video And I hope you guys liked Alfie's madness Absolute nutter He needs tyres now Don't worry about that I've got loads Don't forget to like, share and subscribe If you've got any socials They'll be in the description below So we'll put Alfie's socials in the description below And yeah Stay tuned for the next video I hope you guys liked it
