In a quest for adrenaline and tire smoke, the team embarks on a journey to the heart of Japan, where the art of street drifting reigns supreme. Their first dance partner is a modified Mark 2 Chaser, boasting a beefed-up td05 turbo and 350 horsepower of pure drifting fury. With custom 1484 Knuckles and a suspension setup to die for, this Chaser is ready to slide through the winding mountain roads with precision and power. But the real shock comes when they witness high-speed highway street drifting, a spectacle that leaves even the most seasoned drifters in awe.

As they ascend the iconic Initial D Mountain, memories of childhood anime dreams come rushing back. The roar of engines and screeching tires echo through the misty peaks as the team immerses themselves in the heart-pounding world of Japanese street drifting. A Toyota Cresta joins the fray, its single turbo 1J engine pushing out 450 horsepower of controlled chaos. The dashboard setup is a sight to behold, a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the Japanese drift scene.

After a day of street drifting euphoria, the team takes on the Moara Circuit for a taste of track drifting perfection. Here, they meet Sam, a drifting maestro with a mean S15 packing a 2JZ engine. Sam's machine is a masterpiece of power and precision, with a built engine, Kord 272 cams, and a Garrett G35 900 turbo propelling him to drifting glory. The day culminates in heart-stopping tandem drifts, where the team experiences the true essence of Japanese drifting culture – a blend of skill, speed, and sheer automotive passion.
