In a heart-pounding escapade through the world of Japanese drifting, Larry Chen embarks on a tire-squealing adventure, burning through 10 rubbers in a whirlwind of adrenaline. Nestled near the iconic Fuji Speedway, he stumbles upon a hidden gem of a shop where competition vehicles are born from the ground up, with arrow parts crafted on-site. The meticulous process of engine maintenance and chassis assembly unfolds before his eyes, showcasing the dedication and precision of the team.

With plans to unleash a fleet of four cars in D1 and one in FD come 2025, the shop pulsates with the promise of raw horsepower and sleek design. Larry delves into the inner workings of a 2024 powerhouse, boasting a formidable 2JZ engine and a history of six years on the track. The air crackles with anticipation as future builds and meticulous bodywork take center stage, all meticulously executed within the shop's hallowed walls.

Amidst the maze of spare engines and the owner's personal S13 darling, Larry unearths a treasure trove of historic vehicles, each bearing the scars of past battles on the drifting circuit. The shop resonates with the echoes of roaring engines and screeching tires, a testament to the owner's unwavering passion for the art of drifting. As Larry's gaze sweeps over the collection of Soarers and Corollas, he finds himself immersed in a world where speed and craftsmanship converge in a symphony of automotive excellence.

From the hum of the conveyor belt system to the meticulous organization of tires and wheels, Larry is spellbound by the shop's intricate dance of preparation for the upcoming events. The sheer dedication required to manage 180 tires per race weekend leaves him in awe, a testament to the team's unwavering commitment to the pursuit of drifting glory. As the visit draws to a close, Larry's mind races with visions of future drifts and the tantalizing prospect of joining the ranks of the drifting elite in the years to come.
