In this riveting episode of Larry Chen's adventures, we delve into the world of a truly unique drift car that defies convention. With metal doors crafted by the owner himself due to the unavailability of carbon fiber alternatives, this beast stands out in a sea of typical drift machines. Sporting a Toyota Chaser JZX100 chassis fused with a Monte Carlo body, the car's journey from Russia to the US adds an intriguing layer to its already fascinating story. The owner's passion for left-hand drive is evident in the meticulous modifications made to suit his driving preferences.

Under the hood lies a stock 2JZ engine from a Toyota Arista, tweaked to produce a respectable 650-700 horsepower. Weight distribution becomes a key focus, with carbon fiber and fiberglass components strategically used to balance the car's heft. What's more, the owner's foray into a winter rally with this very car before transforming it into a drift setup speaks volumes about his versatile driving skills and the car's adaptability. The decision to retain a front radiator setup due to financial constraints adds a touch of pragmatism to this otherwise flamboyant machine.

As we explore the exterior of the car, we're greeted by a livery that harks back to the glory days of NASCAR, complete with whimsical fake brand names that inject humor and personality into the vehicle. The owner's role as the founder of the RDS drift championship in Russia sheds light on his deep-rooted connection to the world of motorsport. Despite Larry Chen's eagerness to capture the RDS events through his lens, external circumstances thwart his plans, leaving us yearning for a glimpse of the adrenaline-fueled action that defines the championship.
