Default FormulaD = MR.B's car DRIFTING

OMFG! I have never been so scared for someone elses car. I have seen his Z go from stock to what it is today. I would have cried if it hit the wall. I was almost shaking...

Here are some pix I have from FormulaD here in LA...























NICE RIG Mr.B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



New Performance Nissan Headlight Overlays. Fit PERFECT (I didnt install them)

the driver is tony angelo. he is a great driver, i think his car had one of the fastest entry speed of the whole event. hes from pennsylvania(sp?)

the car is way tricked out with some nice suspension and brakes. even tho the brakes were attacked by the 20" rims. the spokes took out some chunks of the actual caliper...

Did Mr. B sell his car?

Tony Angelo will be driving his new Endless USA twin turbo 350z which we hear showcased his talents very well at Drivers Search though apparently he was robbed of qualifying.

Great pics! I love the Z's screwdriver handbrake.

BTW, did they sell the SR20 front clip? I have heard of vendors selling parts before, but that is ridiculous.
