First Klutch Kickers Win - 2JZ E36 Drift Battles!

[Music] [Music] welcome to today's video guys uh they did change the schedule back to how it originally was in og clutch kicker so today we'll be practicing for two hours qualifying and then doing top 64 battles to start off the day got the car up in the air actually before that i took some baseline measurements figured out what camber is figured out what toe is front and back there's nothing wildly off so i think the biggest issue was having yesterday is just when the car was driving straight the steering wheel was like turn like this so i'm blasting down the straight i'm looking at my center point and i'm actually holding the wheel to the right and not realizing it so we're replacing a tie rod that was worn out and also re-centering the wheel should hopefully make it feel better and also playing around with the sway bar setups to make the car do some different things on track overall gearing feels good logs feel good so we're just going into today do some leads do some chases and have some fun all right [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] all right first practice session we got a lot of cars out here gonna have a good time made some setup changes and do a burnout and i'll do some drifting you know we focus on filling all the zones going all the way to the ends of the zones and do the things i got to do i got jinge on the mic helping me spot stoked about that i'm gonna pretend this is qualifying and just do the most banger solid lap i can [Music] come on i felt sick i'm gonna pretend this is a top 64 battle because it's likely the type of car i'll end up going up against definitely could be better but every chase i still feel like i'm learning you know all right we got a set of scrubs on uh we did bad math about tire consumption so i got to be a little bit more mindful of my usage and uh plan a little bit better because right now we don't have enough new tires for battles so it looks like i'm gonna be running some scrubs um [Music] [Music] better go there for qualifying i'm gonna do the same thing got some fun excited to watch galette see what she does [Music] all right guys we are two people away from going up and in traditional competition fashion it always starts raining right before i go hopefully it holds out enough um because right now at this rate i think the track would still be pretty much dry uh everything in a car is pretty much the same as i've been practicing on the only difference is i'm running scrubs just trying to conserve tire and make sure you have enough for battles and everything yeah i'm just gonna go have a good time do my best lead i can i love the car feels great on these tires super happy great first round so far rain rain go away come again another day [Music] woe is me all right sight lap here we go [Music] ah [Music] [Music] oh god this is terrible the concrete is like embarrassingly bad and it grips up here [Music] this is so bad if my clap counsels it's gonna suck i can't even go anywhere okay my bumper's on track this is like terrible i enter the concrete with like zero speed and zero angle and it still just loop the car right out yo i'm wet wet why me [Music] [Music] looks like it's drying up um i think we might even get a full dry lap by the time we compete obviously no qualifying i'm not familiar with the way that the person we're going up against drives um but yeah we're just watching i think i'm like 11th battle that's ginge how did we like the battle what i wasn't listening i just said that's jinge oh yeah yeah it's nice to have you here sir i know i'm i'm really prepared for this situation both mentally and physically [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] um [Music] [Applause] um [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Applause] one more time that's to you rain ruining my chance of doing it one more time tonight now we got to do it tomorrow morning got to be here 7 a.m how early we're here this morning 8 a.m huh we're here at 8 a.m this morning right here oh so it's the same yeah oh everyone's whining like it's some crazy thing we were here at the crack of dawn we were barbecuing a bucket full of marshmallows and graham crackers i gotta load my car but mike's got all the cool stuff trailer is he too busy worrying about filming and making a video mike you're so awesome let's go we're going to texas road [Music] thank you [Music] poor cletus in his grass the pit situation and moving trucks around with all the rain hasn't taken a while so there's definitely some torn up areas around here it's early we got like a 7 30 a.m drivers meeting gonna load the car do some stuff and then i don't even know if we're gonna have time for practice this morning they're gonna try to fit the whole competition in before it rains again florida likes terrain [Music] no time for practice we're just straight into the first battle and the first ones up so gonna go out [Music] [Music] no belt 250 whole lap no belt had to call a five minute call uh we lost the belt so i did that whole lap with no power steering thing is i kind of like thought about that happening in my head so i feel like i jinxed myself by thinking that uh [Music] [Applause] [Applause] um uh [Music] i think one of the most like underrated and underappreciated things in drifting is like yo both of us just went out there like 8am zero practice laps and just went and hooked it at a freaking banked wall at like 100 miles an hour so regardless i ended up getting the win he made way more mistakes on his lead than i did and i think my chase was a little bit better um he plowed both inner clips i did wash out past the inner but somehow i held together the lap even without power steering so i'm pretty proud of that usually no power steering in a car like this the car is very difficult to drive and it looks like we lucked out so you look down there it looks like we're about to kick another belt so we're gonna figure out what's going on here and uh hopefully win more battles okay bye [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] me oh hmm uh all right so it doesn't matter how much planning you do and how much you fixed on a bill to come out that season and you think you have everything you figured out we came out friday and saturday i have no problems with the power stream system we made adjustments to make it so that this doesn't happen because they flew a belt testing at the compound sat on thursday night put it on had no problems friday and saturday and then today we came in first battle out we had it through our barrel we put another belt on change the tensioner and feel through another belt right after our top 32 bottle battle it just goes to show that doesn't matter how much you read or how much if something is working perfectly doesn't mean you can't go wrong so hopefully i could make this stock system work and don't have to switch to another style pump or anything like that because it's great to service it's easy to put on the belt when it this style when we switch to another system then you got two belts and then it just doesn't make it that easy glenn's about to go out for her second battle she beat her first battle really proud of her her leads been killing it that battle was pretty good i didn't make any huge mistakes it kind of kept me cool because i knew that i had a big gap on my lead run lost power steering again so we're addressing that um oh yeah my ship's not fell off that was funny i got to get a better one of those but i hammered it back on so it's cool [Music] yeah just give you guys an update i mentioned that thing about the people that don't like delivery and like me banning them from the channel my banned list went from a thousand people to 17 000 so if you guys notice a significant drop of subscribers or the likes on this video it's probably because of that if you got banned you can't see this so i apologize to you but you won't see my apology yo highlighted in my day shout out mike massey you got me 100th anniversary edition haribo gold bears with limited edition party hats have you ever had a blue party hat hair bow probably not let me give your boot [Music] are they actually different flavors because i swear they all taste the same fruit loops are they though yeah they're labeled flavors fruit loop don't tell me for loops are all the same flavors i will lose my mind i'll go home right now i will go home right now [Applause] oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right guys we're about to go up against what appears to be a v8 46 i knew he was having some clutch issues on the car he almost just called us five minutes to get it sorted but i think it's sorted now and um he's gonna be leaving i'm gonna be chasing he's been running kind of mid bank uh through practice so i'm gonna give a little distance there and kind of reel him in on that second outer zone and then just do my thing in the lead run and i think it should be enough for what we need to do trying to drive smart not just drive with aggression 24 7 because sometimes that will uh bite me in the butt so get through this battle and then move on because this is top 16 so then the next battle would be top eight so i'm gonna go have fun and do the thing i'm hot and hungry mmm gummy bears i'm boiling out here it's hot all right calm cool composed distance on the bank reel em in on that outer you'll have some fun restart oh [Music] that was real bad coming off the bank yo my shifter flew off and i missed the gear coming off the bank bad i don't know if they'll zero me in the chase or if they'll dock him for points because he was offline i'm literally just shifting a rod at this point [Music] [Applause] [Music] god oh i really hoping to [ __ ] up this motor i lost my belt again i did a full lap with no power steering coolant is at 260 right now it's gonna be a one more time so get ready that was scary i thought i was going into the wall yo i think his car is out yo i wish we had a good laugh you winked no clutch hey thank you man hey next time we'll get a good battle good job good job good job chelsea i need a good luck charm so my belt doesn't fly off i'm gonna take it home for the box make sure chelsea put up a real good fight with sean i had some mechanical issues i got up in the car i'm gonna get all that [Music] [Music] got chelsea to know for putting my wheels on if that isn't good luck i don't know what it is all right this car is no joke drivers no joke sebastian i don't know how to pronounce his last name i think he's from canada 2js15 it's been a good time let me know when i'm clear go fast make smoke have fun leading first time gotta look for my marks hit them and then switch places and do the same in the chase i can't wait for a nice ice cold water with a hamburger i always think about food i'm a hungry boy [Music] uh [Music] how we look how we look how we look that was one of my best leads for sure i bogged the [ __ ] out of the car leaving the line hope he doesn't think i did it on purpose i just loaded up the handbrake a little too much make sure i don't do that on the chase it's gonna be fast and do my thing damn he's leaving like a rocket huh what if he did that on purpose to cool his car down yeah he did he's cooling his car down he tripped the light to cool his car down that's smart little trickster over there i see that's a good move oh just called five it was smart for him to do that yo my car feels really good that felt like one of my best bank runs into the inner any uh comments about that ron jinge i'm gonna leave a little space by inner clip one reel them in on the bank and reel them in towards the bottom remember the hand brakes rotate on the bank don't hand brake pass center clip 2 wheel them in through the rest of the course [Music] hmm oh he lost and i lost power steering oh boy my belt is off my belt is off i lost my belt and literally did the last three corners no handed one more time we got it one more time guys i'm coming back to the pits now get all hands on deck dude this tire change because they're gonna be quick with us on time just gotta do the thing again two three four go zoom go room hit my marks all right [Music] [Applause] um just letting you guys know i'm getting a pretty harsh vibration towards the end of the outer zone 2 apron it appears to be coming from the right rear wheel i don't know if something's loose drive train related but just something to possibly put eyes on when we're doing the next tire change it's like kind of like a rattly vibrating sensation damn he's uh he's taken out so it looks like i got the win on that one pat says whatever we're doing in the pits we got to make it quick you need this back quick [Music] [Music] he's starting up right now and pulling up gotta keep pressure on that uh got to get right up on there high on the bank so i got to be careful coming off the bank give a little bit distance there reel them in and then just glue them through that sweeper do my thing hello [Music] [Applause] [Music] i go fast boy go fast do the thing boy i almost got lost a couple times [Music] my that was fun we should have got the win right hell yeah yo i'm staying full throttle off the bank through both inners and my car is so fast through there it's ridiculous top two baby [Music] me [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right top two baby we're chasing first and i know that dirk has beautiful leads so we're gonna need to do the best leave we can because i know my lead's not gonna be enough to take the win on this one so follow him i know he's slow across the concrete so just gotta set myself up to probably fall back a little bit coming down from the bank that way i'm ready for that region [Music] then i can attack him into the next sweeper this guy's probably pretty fast off the line too so i gotta be ready for that make sure i enter high can we just dive on the bank watch my mark to handbrake around the uh the downhill section just remember my marks and just drive through the smoke should be good uh hell yeah that was good made a couple mistakes but i think if we do a good lead we'll have it his car is noticeably slower than mine so just got to do the thing hell yeah brother hot tub here we come uh [Applause] it was close to contact in a couple areas [Music] hmm [Music] whoa i think we might just got the win boys [Music] hell yeah good fun [Music] hell yeah i don't know if i've ever won clutch kickers i know i got second for sure on the last one it may be a minus 15 this might be the first clutch cookers i've ever won my bank run sucked but we did the thing my car be hot right now yo you guys want to know something funny i asked for that pennzoil hat because i knew i was going to be on the podium in first i guess no matter what i was on the podium but i knew i was going to get first that's why i asked for the hat i i pulled a vaughn and i told the universe what was going to happen before it happened and i made it happen we got a belt baby i saw the future and i made it happen pencil autozone get in the zone hmm [Music] hmm [Applause] [Music] stoked for you dude [Music] yeah it was crispy [Music] it's almost christmas [Applause] miles blake please it home fourth place and one thousand dollars miles flick the status e46 connor oh sully great joker out here today showing that he's got what it takes to be at the top i'm gonna announce the first place ever the first place winner he's gonna take home i believe ten thousand dollars yeah and these battles all through this event battle after battle our first place winner in the trimmed hq e36 is [Applause] and all the drivers [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] cameraman you can't drink ah watch me we ran hold on pretty good i like i put to good work all these little bass bars in here i'm glad we didn't get a new rear bumper but like look i got a little scratchy scratch over there this side is my i think my first tail light on the e36 if you guys have a e36 bumper reach out to us because we need one um but yeah shreds also you guys that were saying this is fake this is real duarte actually got this plate i think it's a germany plate from germany like from their equivalent to our dmv it's legit and he paid a lot of money for it and it was a gift to me and i love it so if you don't like it now that i've had a little bit more time to think and my brain is not as foggy um super super stoked on my chase my lead could have been a little bit better on the bank i was a little shallow but overall what got me through today was not only driving smart and driving consistent um i made some mistakes and chases but overall my leads are pretty good i didn't drive with my heart i drove with my brain which is hard for me to do sometimes because i always just want to adore everyone but i try to play it smart we overcame all the belt issues that we were having yohan has a plan to fix it long term um but johan like shredded kept the cart running kept fresh tires on it james was in here micrometering used tires because we didn't have enough new tires and we're like using scrubs and new tires and all the team back home getting the car together last minute marco sean johan mike with the photos and the picture but no it's really cool clutch kicker is one of my favorite series and i came into this not expecting to win with a car that we didn't test at all like shut out jamie dynoing this thing late at night like the day before the competition i did like three burnouts took logs of it i just taking logs and sending him logs on grid and he's like probably at dinner with his girl sending me revisions and stuff i always appreciate that it's pretty cool um he's a busy dude and he has way more important things to do but anyway the car ran great hopefully i didn't hurt the motor we had like probably five or six times that it hit 250 and when i lose my belt i lose my alternator so i know that everything has lower voltage and i'm hoping i don't have a log that uh it didn't go too lean so we'll probably pull the plugs inspect those that'll tell us if we had any detonation if it was like we'll do a compression test we'll inspect the head see if the head's warped or anything gearbox is rad you guys saw on the footage it shifts so good geforce nitto the one son hell yeah appreciate you dude car sick yeah g35 1050 putting it down the tires sick shout out nitto what was i talking about oh yeah i came into this literally just like excited to force myself to practice hard on banks because no one ever drifts on banks unless it's a competition so i always go into formula drift i'm like i don't know how to tandem on a bank but i feel like this this round is really good for learning things my boy i stayed out of the ground out here out of the grass in the money hell yeah appreciate your job dude so proud great first event hey listen the first person i ever told about the freedom factory outside of like my inner group was adam and now he's out here winning the first ever major drift event out here dude i'm a boy a boy yo this guy we i told him we had a tire issue and he was like dude if we need to get a chopper to fly to the compound and get your tires we'll make it happen he's he's down he's committed he's shredded too like i'm really really impressed with his driving i know he's going to come back stronger and harder in the next round he's got a plan he's got another little special secret sauce working out but overall my goal with this thing the car is sick but we weren't able to put any chassis in the car because we can't spin the tire so we basically had the rear end with full compression and we had like no travel to absorb bumps and stuff so i'm hoping we can add some more boost in the mid-range get the torque up and then we can soften a bit but the next round won't be on the bank so uh it shouldn't be as big of an issue anyway overall stoked on the car it's been awesome and uh it's a great way to stay in shape [Music] [Applause] [Music] when you say

Do KK judges not look at proximity as harshly? It wouldn't surprise me because it looks like there's a bit of range in HP between the cars competing.

[u/ill_have_2_number_9s]

Bro, no power steering? Hats off my boy!

[u/the_oracie]

onion spec shift knob threads focked him dood

[u/Maciejk8]

Kinda dumb to hear him talking about thirst and hunger just before he needs to perform.. Okay its not F1, but they must have some budget left for a cooler and some rotisserie chicken right?

[u/esoe___]

he is really banning people for saying their opinion of his livery wtf lmao

[u/lowkibased]

He kinda looked like rudnik for a second in the thumbnail

[u/tjohnboy]

I’m shocked they don’t make them wear fire suits all things considered…

[u/JackRK_]

2022 year of the power steering

[u/PlaneLime1732]

Had he lost he would have blamed the power steering though
