A few months ago you didn't know if you would even get another headquarters after the fire. It's amazing what friends and supporters can help you do. Congrats. Keep up the great work
It’s almost like they’ve grown their own money tree and it’s a fast grower!! Fair play to you guys though rebuilding yourselfs like a phoenix rising from the ashes (infact that would make a great t shirt) 🤔
After flying out to the LZ Festival in 22, I started to learn about you guys. Now I have a Miata which I drove from Switzerland to Mondello this year and have my first drift event coming up. Thanks to LZ for making me aware of you, and thank you guys for all the awesome work you put in to inspire others! I was heartbroken earlier in the year, but stoked on how you turned things around, keep doing awesome stuff!
I love hearing yall explain the reasoning for the ads and everything. It’s really nice to actually hear the reasons behind things and not just gaslighting us into thinking there’s always been this many ads
Content dont get any better then DriftGames💯🔥never expected a Solstice out of all cars lol. now just gotta throw a 2jz in it so you have that similar chassis same motor feel.
Just discovered your channel recently and i have watched every episode from the start. I dread to think how many hours iv spent on youtube trying to catch up in the last month or so. Pleased to see that you didnt give up. A couple of things i did wonder though. What happened to Josh's gt86 and also what happened to mike. I was expecting him to return after a temporary goodbye he only seemed to appear in a couple videos and dissapeared. The banter between him and josh was great. Especially loved the bit where he and josh got everyone revving in the start line. Anyway keep up the good work lads
Absolutely love watching how comfortable Dave is in the new practice car and I'm in love with the turbo spools! 😂 Praying for a better season in 2025 for Drift Games 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 love yall's contents as always 😎
Here they have an OPEL badge and are called GTs. I think the A20NET engine has decent support in the aftermarket industry. Wouldn't be a problem for you.
The "Kappa" chassis is everything Dave said it would be and don't forget that D-Mac came close to winning FD in a Saturn Sky LS swapped version of this in 2011-12 which was the first pro drift event I ever went to at Road Atlanta. Also, why I bought one about 5 years ago along with the fact that they can be had relatively cheaply. The Ecotec 2.0 is a flat plane crank VVT direct injection engine that can hold 400-450 Hp on the stock bottom end along with some upgraded springs and retainers & upgraded turbo.
I remember when these cars were still fairly new. A Canadian figured out that a 2jz fit with pretty much no modifications. It bolted into the stock engine location. Always thought these were interesting cars. The gxp fast back version were my favorite.
so stoked to see the new DG HQ! and of course Dave would get a "practice" car nobody else has 🤣 always loved the solstice though cant wait to see the progression to come, lets go!
Epic car, I love this channel you guys are always doing something to make the channel more interesting! LZ really brought me to the channel but 100% you guys have kept me watching ❤
Good sht Dave I love the transparency and to have already got a new hq after that horrific fire is amazing you guys are definitely hardcore congrats my dude
What an awesome rig,if you could engineer in some more lock it'll probably help long term with transition to the supra,good to be comfortable at higher speed knowing you have the lock available even with less power
Ideal car for you to practice with , maybe run the same suspension struts , brakes etc so they become familiar and react the same as the supra to help even more
you said "that no one would recognize" but I tried hunting down that exact car last year before figuring out that it got shipped to Ireland lol, good luck with it fr because the Solstice/Sky platform is extremely underutilized and seems like a good one
I guess the only other option would have been a Honda S2000. I remember back in the early 2000's, there used to be 1 or 2 S2K's drifting in D1GP. But it was rather snappy because of the wheel base.
Finally something other than an S chassis,rx7,supra. THIS is thinking outside the box and making something unique. Tuerck did it years ago in FD its awesome seeing other platforms being used in drifting.
ima be honest i fucking love it always had a soft spotfor these cars here in canada tho sadly there like 25k for a stock one here still but thats awsome keep it up boys heres to 2025 and new beginnings from a fan here in canada
Suggestion: Do a limited mystery bag merch drop every month like you did a couple weeks back, I think it's fun for the fans while helping you with your projects.
Hell yes!!! I think I may have a new favourite car on the channel! Loved this car for years and loved watching the Solstice's and D-Mac in the Saturn Sky (which are the same underneath) back in the day in FD. Can't wait to see what you do with it and to see it get some love and abuse
I always thought pontiac solstice/saturn sunfire were slept on .I had the privilege of a shake down torture test on one when working for a GM body shop , it was a very impressive little sports car.
Always liked these Pontiac Solstice's, however I much prefer the Saturn Sky like DMac used to run in FD with Falken, which is literally just the same car with a different body (Not DMac's car obvs). From what I know, these are similar to Opel/Vauxhall VX220's with the difference being engine layout. Those had a similar engine which was derived from the Cobalt SS in all of it's 4 banger turbo goodness, and I believe that derivative went on to then power the VXR Corsa's & Astra's 🤮
i love your videos and the content is great specially the fact that you recovered and all, super happy to watch your videos but the " warp stabilizer " man ! this is not a hate comment, i genuinly mean it

Can allready say your going to need a practice car for your practice car 😂

Out of all the "weirdest" or "unexpected" cars in this channel, this is by far the one that surprised the most
Pretty cool to see it man
I love hearing yall explain the reasoning for the ads and everything. It’s really nice to actually hear the reasons behind things and not just gaslighting us into thinking there’s always been this many ads
Dave justifying car purchases is honestly one of my fave parts of the channel 😂
I was expecting a salvage z4. I was wrong. This is much cooler!
That thing is a Chrysler cross fire
I thought the same exact thing.
I might be way off on this but isn’t this the same car as Adam Lz’s mums car? The silver drop top ?
@@grantmeldrumyes
I was thinking 944 😂😂
Content dont get any better then DriftGames💯🔥never expected a Solstice out of all cars lol. now just gotta throw a 2jz in it so you have that similar chassis same motor feel.
stock 2jz with the stock twins and boom done like a ebisu jzx

Toss between a ford capri and a Chrysler crossfire is the weird cars ive seen being drifted in an event.

Hell yeah! The OGs know! 🔥🙌🏽
Can't wait to see it with a similar livery! Such a good idea for practice!
Hell yeah! A LNF powered drift car!!
19:46 the big flame 🔥🔥
Dave giving us history of his accidents! Dude can carry on! Car works but I'm going to change it because of sponsorship lol
I all for the weird and unusual builds that turn heads, way more fun, way more practice
I remember when these cars were still fairly new. A Canadian figured out that a 2jz fit with pretty much no modifications. It bolted into the stock engine location. Always thought these were interesting cars. The gxp fast back version were my favorite.
The smile tells it all! I really dont like the look of a Solstice / GT but this one looks badass!
so stoked to see the new DG HQ! and of course Dave would get a "practice" car nobody else has 🤣 always loved the solstice though cant wait to see the progression to come, lets go!
Man, what a perfect practice car for the supra, cant wait to see how good dave is going to be next year.
hell yea drift games coming in hot 2025
Epic car, I love this channel you guys are always doing something to make the channel more interesting! LZ really brought me to the channel but 100% you guys have kept me watching ❤
I want to say LZ talked about this when he V8 swapped his Mom's solstice, with a real engine it's apparently quite a fun little car.
V8? Didn’t he turbo it 😊
@@josteincarlsen2905 he turbo'd the OG 2.5 L ecotec then completely LS swapped it.
Hardtop Solstice rly doesn't look half bad. They're super rare here in the US, if they even had any. Seems like the perfect practice car.
Good sht Dave I love the transparency and to have already got a new hq after that horrific fire is amazing you guys are definitely hardcore congrats my dude
Why does the flutter sound like muttley laughing, when you done them donuts😭😂💀
It does 😂
@@LukasDriftGamer I can't unhear it now, I went back to listen after seeing your comment 😂
@@karlsmiler87 😂😭
Hehe Mine does the same thing, it's because the BO valve and waste gate are re-circulating thru the exhaust.
@@Danger-Dave 😂😂
So the answer for 5th gen Supra drivers training for drifting is Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky/Opel GT presuming they have a LHD Supra
What an awesome rig,if you could engineer in some more lock it'll probably help long term with transition to the supra,good to be comfortable at higher speed knowing you have the lock available even with less power
Ideal car for you to practice with , maybe run the same suspension struts , brakes etc so they become familiar and react the same as the supra to help even more
this car has no business in drifting so well! 🤣 It's crazy how good and smooth it is haha! Congrats!
This is actually so cool, have always loved these cars!
I love watching your mission to become better
you said "that no one would recognize" but I tried hunting down that exact car last year before figuring out that it got shipped to Ireland lol, good luck with it fr because the Solstice/Sky platform is extremely underutilized and seems like a good one
I remember it from ripping at englishtown back in the earlier 2010s and it honestly sounded and looked like a riot lol
I guess the only other option would have been a Honda S2000. I remember back in the early 2000's, there used to be 1 or 2 S2K's drifting in D1GP. But it was rather snappy because of the wheel base.
This is going to be one hell of a year for you guys!!!! From the end of last year to now being so close to the new HQ!!
Finally something other than an S chassis,rx7,supra. THIS is thinking outside the box and making something unique. Tuerck did it years ago in FD its awesome seeing other platforms being used in drifting.
god you guys are criminally under rated wtf
Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky are cool little cars, kinda a modern Cobra. Over here people like to LS swap them
Love the new practice car Dave top notch and if you notice in the vid at the end it shoots a cheeky flame
Idk what car I was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that, never seen such a unique drift car in my opinion
Good luck with the new car,can't wait to see the car and team at Driftland.
Dave is buzzing! 😂 can’t wait to see this thing sitting pretty!🤩
You and me both!
I think you should keep it all murdered out even strom wheels can't wait for the wide body kit also love the car
i love how he called it an opel sr20, cos it resembles one and even sounds like one!!
ima be honest i fucking love it always had a soft spotfor these cars here in canada tho sadly there like 25k for a stock one here still but thats awsome keep it up boys heres to 2025 and new beginnings from a fan here in canada
Super cool. The solstas seems like a great way to progress.
It would be super fun to see LZ drive a supra in fd with a 2j
Was not super excited when the garage door opened but seeing that thing on track is cool! What a fun, unique platform
Glad you liked it!
The dose on that little thing is epic so unexpected when you see something like that
Lol the Solstice market is about to skyrocket here in the states. Drift Games out here setting trends.
Look forward to having you and the Soltice join us for the Winter Series in Scotland 👌
See you soon!
Will there be a live stream for this series lads?
Suggestion: Do a limited mystery bag merch drop every month like you did a couple weeks back, I think it's fun for the fans while helping you with your projects.
We will be indeed!
I'm surprised you picked the Supra at all, you've certainly talked me out of one.
Looks like you got the hang of that pretty quickly, class little machine well wear Dave
She's chooching. I believe in you Dave, you can do it!!💯🔧🚗🏁®️
Here We GOOOOOOOO !!! YES DRIFTGAMES
You got the poor man corvette...an LS fits nicely in them...Hot Rod magazine built one and it was so loud it scared little children
Hell yes!!! I think I may have a new favourite car on the channel!
Loved this car for years and loved watching the Solstice's and D-Mac in the Saturn Sky (which are the same underneath) back in the day in FD.
Can't wait to see what you do with it and to see it get some love and abuse
Great videos, can't wait to see the new building!
Drift games getting so many legendary car ❤
Pontiac Solstice , when the garage doors opened-copped it straight away ,my go to car on Colin Mc Rea Dirt….👍
I remember seeing this car on the channel during Covid
Solid logic! I dig it.
This needs a mini supra kit!!!
I always thought pontiac solstice/saturn sunfire were slept on .I had the privilege of a shake down torture test on one when working for a GM body shop , it was a very impressive little sports car.

Corsa VXR was a 1.6
😍😍😍 absolutely love it , I first thought it was gonna be a gen 1 bmw Z3
Dark alley car deals. Neat. :D Not sus at all.
Hell yeah Brother Man, USA for the win. What a great idea ! Love the new car.
Glad you like it!
I thought of something like fc3s, but this.... You have a chance to create the first beautiful Solstice in the world
Drift Games best channel on YT 🔥🔥👏👏
I wanna see them hit 1.5mil this time next year I think it’s possible but even they got to a mil next year it would be class
Man that thing is awesome, never expected I'd like a solstice! Are you gonna put an angle kit on it tho?
I hope this makes people build these things again
Murica! Hell yeah brother! Pontiac for the win.
Always had a soft spot for the solstice since fd. hard to make them look good but the full black goes hard
You got to get LZ's mum to drive this 😂
It's a great car to work with. Really rewarding car because it makes you work to drive.
Love the temu supra 🚀
What a wagon. Can't wait to see her in action at the invitational in december
Ha, didn't see that coming! Super random and cool!
And it's called a "Solstice". Class!
Livery needs an Autobots logo somewhere seen as that car features in Transformers!!
Let's go. I'm ready to see the progression.
I remember the car from Colin Mcrea Dirt2 rally speck
This a good lesson in sticking to it 🙏
I can see how much work went into this!
Next thing ya know is Dave will be converting an Opel Astra Bertone to RWD using the Pontiac running gear 🤔
Great video guys, What a little weapon of a car!!
i love your videos and the content is great specially the fact that you recovered and all, super happy to watch your videos but the " warp stabilizer " man !
this is not a hate comment, i genuinly mean it
Cool little car it sounds rowdy !!
You get the hang of it and you will be flying in the supra ! Practice makes perfect 😎
Pontiac Solstice... now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Cannot lie I was expecting a z4, this will make awesome content though.
Weird drift cars do be the best!
that is one savage looking practise car well wear
That's pretty neat solstice drift car who would of thought
A 2jz literally bolts right into a solstice btw, factory motor mounts and all. Transmission takes factory 2j bellhousing even.
For a second there, I thought the mad lad had bought a TVR.
See you in Scotland, ill be in the rookie class in the bright pink car
