Like most people I became interested in performance cars started around the time I got my license. I can still remember first learning about drifting online back in 2003. Though it took me a while, I eventually managed to buy and maintain a 1986 (AE86) Toyota Corolla specifically for drifting. Slowly, and with lots of practice, I was able to grow my skills. Finally, in 2006 I was invited to the Formula D Pro-Am Nationals where I took home the title of National Champion/Formula D Pro in my mostly stock Corolla.

When Geoff started talking about drifting a Fox-body I was concerned, "aren't those heavy, poor handling economy cars?" Then I remembered; I've been driving a light, underpowered economy car. Our first time out at the track was frustrating but, as we improved the car it got really fun and it was clear that the car had potential. So we've set out to make more than just a drift car, but a recipe so anyone can cook up their own Drift 5.0. I think this project appeals to grassroots drifters like myself. Over 2.6 Million Fox's were sold in the US and that means cheap affordable cars and parts are available anywhere. In short, it's a car you can drive around, take to a drift event and not break the bank. If you have any questions for us check out our forum.
