Larry Chen, the drifting maestro, decided to embark on a new challenge post his departure from FD. His latest project, a Porsche 718 build, has set the automotive world abuzz. Unlike others who dabbled in similar ventures, Larry's attention to detail and unique approach have resulted in a machine that not only works but excels on the track. The car's exceptional forward bite, impressive traction, and the ability to lift a front tire while drifting have left Larry grinning from ear to ear.

What sets Larry's build apart is his philosophy. While others may treat such projects as novelties or one-off showcases, Larry aimed to create a car that he could drive every weekend, pushing its limits and having fun with his friends. This mindset, combined with his meticulous planning and execution, has led to a build that defies expectations. Even the Porsche Engineers, who never envisioned such modifications, were taken aback by the success of Larry's project.

Larry's choice of the Porsche 718 chassis was deliberate, driven by factors like budget considerations and the car's suspension setup. By opting for a mid-engine platform, he was able to leverage the car's inherent advantages for drifting, such as improved weight distribution and stability. Modifications like relocating the radiators and extending the wheelbase have further enhanced the car's performance on the track, making it a formidable machine that surprises even the most seasoned drivers. Larry's attention to detail, from the cooling system to the steering setup, showcases his commitment to creating a truly exceptional driving experience.
