Its your exhaust pipe ! The area of a circle with a diameter of 4 inches is 12.566 square inches vs a Ellipse w. Major diameter of 4 in and Minor diameter of 2.5 in got an area of Area 7.85 square inches ... point is : you got to run a Minor diameter 6.25 oval exhaust pipe to have the same flow as a 4" round pipe !
Even then he will lose a lot of velocity due to fluid drag because there's so much more wall for the same cross sectional area. It's the same effect as making a pipe super long.
That’s around when he came into my feed. I was watching anything and everything drift. He came to me organically through what is popular in drift. I only remember hate from drift fans, from having him enter the scene. He is the absolute best thing for the drift community. Friends with everyone, enemy of non.
Watching this crash was devastating. The whole evergreen crowd was rooting for you, you were definitely crowd favorite that year. When you crashed the entire crowd sighed so loud it was louder than some cheers. Like as a community we felt the suck together. Getting a podium was definitely redemption
Mike has clearly been on an inspirational music kick for his montages and I am 100% here for it lol. So much emotional depth to the history of your cars and other projects. Good stuff bois!
Funny enough i just came across an old bookmark on twitter of this beast on the Seattle bank in 2021 absolutely screaming on the new engine setup you had in there. Might not have been the most successful car in FD history but it sure is one of the best looking
I don’t say this about a lot of people in life but I can honestly I noticed the change within Adam and the way he has improved within the last 4-5 years mans a beast and can’t wait for next year!!
You generally can't time aftermarket cams to the factory marks. There will be a cam sheet with the timing specs that come with the cams and they have to be set or checked with a degree wheel and a dti on the valve.
@15:00 is such a subtle flex. Having enough cars that you have to schedule dyno usage must be something that is super annoying yet also very inspiring considering the circumstances
I wish more car RUclipsrs treated their employees like best friends the way you do. Been a long time watcher (and saw you slide at South of the Border many, many years ago from I95.)
Im sorry glad to see thus car back on the channel. Love this car so much and it's what made me fall in love with the channel, watching that car do the smokiest and nastiest car imo. Loved seeing it get built too❤
Damn mate I’m so stoked to see the S15 back!! Please make more videos with this beast 🔥💯👌 watching you build this car and entering FD years ago has built my love and following for drifting 😁
It will feel absolutely insane to drive with all that power under the curve, even without the top end power,love the S15 good to see it being worked on again 💙
hey adam 9 times outta 10 you wont see this but if u do i just wanna say ive been watching for around 6 years and youve come so far in your carreer... i remember when it was the blue beamer at the local track...keep doing what u do your a legend
I haven't watched an LZ video in a year or so. Saw the thumbnail and had to give it a skim through. Good to see the S15 getting some love again. Loved this car! Hopefully the steering is sorted out this time. It always looked like the car was a fight to drive.
16:16 The amount of money in just like half of the chairs at that makeshift Thanksgiving table is wild. Herman Miller and Steelcase chairs are the best, though.
I love seeing this car alive again!! One of my absolute favourite builds! Id love to see the signature fade again in FD but im unsure if it fits with the e36
Damn, I have been waiting for you to bring back this Legendary car. It's my favorite out of your entire fleet. I use it all the time in Forza Horizon 5 have my own Drift Tune for it. Hope to see more content with this car super hyped to see it back!!! 🤙🤙
I have a tiny square off this car! Easily my favorite looking drift car when you ran it on 2020, always thought it deserved a proper look over everything to make it fun! happy thanksgiving!
i miss this car on the channel. Still the best looking drift car imo even tho the setup was never dialed but would love to see this at events. The potential on this build has never reached its ceiling and i need adam use it fr
ADAMMM I love ya man and I love all your cars, I don’t think there’s been one I’ve genuinely disliked. I wanna see you compete for a championship but quit switching pro chassis’😩 ik you’re not completely going into an unknown car but I feel like going from chassis to chassis is affected how you compete. You have all the talent to win that championship brother, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU MY GUY🤙🏼💯
Crazy how Ken Gushi has a little car warehouse for his drift builds in the same complex where I work out here in Temple City, California ! Dudes such a good sport and would always help me with my s2000 whenever I needed some help mechanically
First! I jusf want to say, youve been an absolute motivation for me adam, and forever a dream to meet you one day. Glad to see the s15 back ;) Love from sri lanka!
This car needs to be time capsuled, it’s just beautiful and so sentimental! Please never change its livery…Side note please please take this car to Japan 🇯🇵 💯🙌🏼
I think the switch back to the stock intake manifold is a big part of why it’s making more down low but rolling over so hard. Also even though the ge cams are the same duration the fact that they are opening and closing the valves a few degrees earlier could make a difference. Just some things to consider.
they can be installed on either side. the bleeder can be moved to the top or bottom of the caliper. i think they put it on the bottom by choice likely to protect the cross over line.
Always thought this was the best looking drift car out there. The livery, the triple chrome wheels, the color. Masterpiece
Absolutely. sucks we dont see it that often anymore
this livery is flashy just like team reverse.. love it
It is
Its your exhaust pipe ! The area of a circle with a diameter of 4 inches is 12.566 square inches vs a Ellipse w. Major diameter of 4 in and Minor diameter of 2.5 in got an area of Area 7.85 square inches ... point is : you got to run a Minor diameter 6.25 oval exhaust pipe to have the same flow as a 4" round pipe !
Even then he will lose a lot of velocity due to fluid drag because there's so much more wall for the same cross sectional area. It's the same effect as making a pipe super long.
im even going to go out on a limb here and say that its the small exhaust ports too.
I'll never forget when I almost stepped on the fresh Yashio kit when I met you and tripped over your Gram Lights tryna play it off. Good times...
Good lord man, who taught you to walk? 💀
@@NicheEscape your mother, she knows how to have an accident.
Manjimessiah spotted in the wild!!!
I can say this car is legendary. Absolutely beautiful machine. Hopefully the livery never changes.
Dammit Adam. It’s bed time dude
Bröther it's 10:25pm the night before Thanksgiving. There's no reason for a early bed time!
Brother, you have work/school tomorrow? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving man, you should be able to stay up late tonight brother
Garrett did the same thing. 😂
Hahaha lucky for us Aussies it’s 4pm
@@Youdailydoseofmemes 6am in the uk
I remember when he first got this S15, when it was getting built and his first drive on the street in it, was such a wild car. The old 3.4 2J.
I remember when he took it to Enjuku to get built! Absolutely crazy how far this think has come
Back when it was white. He pulled it out of his garage and sent it to enjuku. That was looooong ago.
@ that's it
That’s around when he came into my feed. I was watching anything and everything drift. He came to me organically through what is popular in drift.
I only remember hate from drift fans, from having him enter the scene.
He is the absolute best thing for the drift community. Friends with everyone, enemy of non.
remember he wanted twin t51rs on it

This is one of my favorite cars you got. So glad to see her back!
Never clicked so fast
You and me both lol
I read that wrong
this car is such a staple of your progress as a driver and your career. so stoked to see it back
Mike has clearly been on an inspirational music kick for his montages and I am 100% here for it lol. So much emotional depth to the history of your cars and other projects. Good stuff bois!
Always keep your formula drift car like this. It looks so dope
dawgs got 78 cars to sell before this one
@@DolphinDivingChamptalking about keep it how it looks
8:11 That clapback was valid
Yo that’s me af! Must be a puertorrican thing🤣 i speak 3 Johan got me beat
The car that started the FD journey. Crazy to see how far you've come as a driver since this was first built.
Funny enough i just came across an old bookmark on twitter of this beast on the Seattle bank in 2021 absolutely screaming on the new engine setup you had in there. Might not have been the most successful car in FD history but it sure is one of the best looking
Freddy's hair looks like he is wearing some sort of leather gladiator helmet.
Omg I’m dying 😅
💀💀💀
I don’t say this about a lot of people in life but I can honestly I noticed the change within Adam and the way he has improved within the last 4-5 years mans a beast and can’t wait for next year!!
1:36 I'm so glad I have a little piece of this livery, it was by far my favorite livery on the S15. Huge thanks to Adam and his team! 🤙🏼
This really was the best looking car in FD
The production value on this is so much higher than a behind-the-scenes day-in-the-life shop video needs to be. Amazing!
You generally can't time aftermarket cams to the factory marks. There will be a cam sheet with the timing specs that come with the cams and they have to be set or checked with a degree wheel and a dti on the valve.
You can, if the centerline is the same as factory. I assume they checked this…
I currently own a s15 and its my drift car, this car was the motivation to do it and I'm so glad I did. Love these cars and always will.
Mike. Well done you guys don’t stop with the quality sheesh! Video is fire
It’s crazy to see how long ago this was, I’ve been watching you since the BMX days. Boy has it been a journey, to many more 🎉
I just love this car!! The 4 rotor supra has sort of taking it but this will always be a top one of my favorites!!
Pretty rad to see Johan talking about the S15 in front of the OG shop cabinets.
Keep killing the game lzmfg and drift HQ crews! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL
@15:00 is such a subtle flex. Having enough cars that you have to schedule dyno usage must be something that is super annoying yet also very inspiring considering the circumstances
Cant believe its been 5 years already, i remember the build like it was yesterday. Its great to see how far Adam has come..
I wish more car RUclipsrs treated their employees like best friends the way you do. Been a long time watcher (and saw you slide at South of the Border many, many years ago from I95.)

Love seeing Freddy’s personality develop, seems more and more comfortable 😂
I remember being so excited for s15 content back in the day. Quite possibly my favorite car you've ever built
LOVE this kind of technical build /tuning content 🔥
Johan's savageness.... 8:04 ............ 11:03 ............ 12:32
Damn mate I’m so stoked to see the S15 back!! Please make more videos with this beast 🔥💯👌 watching you build this car and entering FD years ago has built my love and following for drifting 😁

omfg, she's coming back alive, IM SO EXCITED
I haven't watched an LZ video in a year or so. Saw the thumbnail and had to give it a skim through. Good to see the S15 getting some love again. Loved this car! Hopefully the steering is sorted out this time. It always looked like the car was a fight to drive.
Thank you Adam for the Garage Sale!! Finally got sick deal on some seat brackets for my Skyline!
Adam videos like this are so fye, just working on cars and chillin
16:16 The amount of money in just like half of the chairs at that makeshift Thanksgiving table is wild. Herman Miller and Steelcase chairs are the best, though.
Happy thanksgiving to the LZ crew. Definitely thankful for you guys.
11:08 felt that one
S15 is sick and the behind the scenes feel of this video is rad.
I love seeing this car alive again!! One of my absolute favourite builds! Id love to see the signature fade again in FD but im unsure if it fits with the e36

Great to see the S15 back, I wore my Rookie of the Year t-shirt today in memory.
The video I’ve been waiting for all year!! Really want to see this car get some more action!!
i miss this car on the channel. Still the best looking drift car imo even tho the setup was never dialed but would love to see this at events. The potential on this build has never reached its ceiling and i need adam use it fr
I remember when Adam was building a BIG POWER Stroker 2J for his cream S13. Good luck with the season!
I LOVE the 3 piece wheels for drifting that just screams baller I’m so happy to see this car back
Seeing all these videos makes me feel a mixture of emotions..sad, happy, excited and jealous all in one sweep.
Nice getting it back to running conditions and happy thanksgiving to everyone
Glad this car is getting back on the screen, On par with the e36 for me as favorites!
Here for it!!!
absolutely the best drifting platform.
Soo good seeing the guys have fun and banter in the shop 👍
Happy thanksgiving Brother and to the entire Fam aswell

Thank u adam for reviving it its the build of my dreams
Best looking FD, glad to see it running again.

Checked RUclips for a video last night and didn’t see one. Ordered your Drift Masters skate deck and then wake up to a video, hell ya!
This is the content I love to see from Adam 🎉🔥🔥
First! I jusf want to say, youve been an absolute motivation for me adam, and forever a dream to meet you one day. Glad to see the s15 back ;) Love from sri lanka!
Been watching RUclips for hours waiting for this to drop😅❤❤❤❤
Glad to see the old girl and you rippin again dude ! ❤️🔥
Finally my favourite Adam LZ car is back 🥹
Best part of getting off at midnight is watching this after I’m off every night, won’t sleep until it’s watched.
Never thought I'd see the day this happened.. can't wait to see the future of the car 👌🔥
Zipper flying low bro. 22:00
Was literally about to comment this.
This car needs to be time capsuled, it’s just beautiful and so sentimental! Please never change its livery…Side note please please take this car to Japan 🇯🇵 💯🙌🏼

Finally bringing back my fav car tho car that makes me want to learn the sport
Great content. Missing the song at the end though. Give your Dad a ride in the Mint Porsche
Bro I would love to see this car come back as a FD car even if it's your back up car. This car is amazing and it slides so well.
Happy Thanksgiving, Adam, Collette, and crew, y'all rock! Peace 🦃🍻💨🤘
Been waiting for this car to make a come back!!!!!!!!!!
The beats on the vid make it FUEGO.
8:21 Was the wrong side brake caliper installed? I thought the bleeder valves always faced the top.
Ya bleeder nipple should be on top ......
💯
they can be installed on either side. the bleeder can be moved to the top or bottom of the caliper. i think they put it on the bottom by choice likely to protect the cross over line.
I miss this car! One of the main reasons I was here lol I remember the s13 of course too
I watched the Seattle crash in person and man that was heartbreaking happy to see this car make a comeback
My absolute favorite car in the garage 🤤
So happy to see this ripper getting some love❤ I have a poster of it I got at fd Seattle signed by you on my wall
I believe this is the most beautiful fd car that went! I would’ve loved another season on fd
I have missed this car, The look is sooo good!
Nothing but love Lz
Seeing the come up from the outside has been insane 🙌🏽✝️
Can't believe I'm seeing ole girl alive. It's like Corona time all over again
This the type of content i love
Love how much PRP products you have now
Love the s15 is getting some love I miss seeing the s15 drifting and i love the s15 and the R34 those both are my absolute favorites and dream
Full length exhaust causing restriction? Yall is moving a ton of air. Great work guys 💪🫡❤️🔥🤙
Finally, love the 15 🔥💪🏾
Best video in long time!
MY FAVORITE CAR IN THE FLEET!
One of my fav FD cars. Even got the skateboard
