Casual Sunrise Circuit Crash

The video part of this trip (aka all the drifting) was supposed to end after Kyoto, and just be us enjoying Japan at our own pace doing non car related stuff. But since we were already in the mix, as soon as we got back to Tokyo things changed, and more drifting we did.

I even did a thing where I drove my z up a steep hill filled with rocks due to running out of skill, but the cars and parts all made it home after. What a trip!

About this trip:
I had a crazy idea earlier this year to do a 2 man drift week, but in Japan, in a couple 350z's. I asked my good buddy Mike if he'd want to join and didn't even finish the sentence before he said yes. The goal was to make the simplest, most affordable, reliable drift / street cars we could and beat the hell out of them for an entire week.

I talked to my main man in Japan, Junichi from @HARDCORETOKYO about how we could make it happen. He told me I was crazy, but we came up with a plan. Dates and events were solidified, Z's were bought and registered, and I started getting and shipping parts. No, don't ask Jun to do this for you, it was a huge favor from him to us so please don't ask. Shout out to Cam Villena for helping with receiving parts as well!

Luckily I have some super solid partners and we got both Z's dialed in with @gktech angle kits, arms and hydros, Fortune Auto 500 coilovers, Kansei wheels, Valino Tires and Grip Royal steering wheels. J Beat and Juns boys got most of the stuff installed pre us getting there, but there was still some left to do.
