Step-By-Step: RWD Drifting

Spring Into Action
I f you ever get the chance to meet John Hotchkis, do it. The man knows his stuff when it comes to suspension tuning and high-performance engines. But for domestics only? Well, yeah—that’s his main business. But we don’t blame the guy for wantin more
Traction, Anyone?
Few engine swaps can moisten our panties quite like replacing the KA24 in a 240 SX with a turbocharged SR20DET from the Japanese S15 Silvia. Executing such a swap, however, represents a considerable investment of time and resources. Considering what Ricky Ch more
Magic Dust

Drift. Now, you are the master
“The police are at the place of drift,” my guide says, pocketing his cell phone. We are hitting 120 mph on the expressway around Osaka. I’ve been keeping a corner of my eye on the speed needle—in between heart attacks—because while my more
Get Wired!
When you’re attempting to put together one of the most electrifying show cars on the circuit, you can’t skimp on the details. The paint has to be right, the graphics have to be on target, and the interior has to be immaculate. Of course, one of the m more
