Mine just happens to be loud as a result of making it more fun. There are many key elements to a rad car, but the most important to me are low and fun. What are three words that could describe your cars and why? I heard great things about 240's and how easy they were to work on so after about a year of working on it and never driving it, I decided to sell it and get my hatch. It was the most difficult car I've ever owned. Joe: Well, before my S13, I tried to build an FC. When I saw that for sale sign, I went in for the kill. Justin I originally wanted an S13, because my very good friend, Josh Pean, convinced me that they were cool and to find one in good condition was nearly impossible. Why did you choose to go with this platform for the builds? It’s just really hard to do that to a car when it looks good how it is. Joe: Maybe cutting the rear fenders to fit the overfenders. I put a lot of trust in those guys and they came through. It was hard waiting for parts and traveling too much to have a heavy hand in the swap. Up until then, I'd done all the work on the car, but when it came to cross breeding, wiring, and tuning, I handed it over to the experts at Portland Speed Industries.
Justin: The hardest of part of my build was the 1JZ swap. Joe: Back in 06, I had some friends who got into drifting, and that’s back when I was driving an RSX, after seeing how much fun they were having I decided to sell my car and get a RWD platform. I went straight to the bank to get a whopping $1700 loan. It was my first experience with a small, RWD platform and I immediately fell in love. Little known fact - before I bought my (then bone stock) Nissan in 2007, during a solo test drive, I kicked the clutch in a nearby parking lot. As soon as I found out it was a thing, I had to be a part of it. Justin: I started drifting because during autocross, my favorite moments were those when I would use too much throttle on corner exits. After going through so many changes and hitting lots of stuff, I kind of forgot about the "look good" part. Joe: At first I really wanted a super clean car that always looked good and that drove super well.
#BASHBAR DRIFT SERIES#
It started with autocross and quickly evolved to drifting with the start of the Drift Evolution series in Medford, Oregon in the Summer of 2008. Justin: I built my car as an affordable way to have fun on and off the track. I meant to write Tandem or Die and misspelled it. It started with a typo when I messaged Shreeve about 3 years ago. Justin: Is the secret out about this yet, Joe? Should we say? How did Tandem of Die start and what does it stand for? Hobbies: Drifting, Basektball, Rock Climbing, Videogames Hobbies: Skateboarding, Drifting, Driving simulators Here's some insight on their thoughts upon creating a couple of cars with much character. Over time, evolving into some of the most iconic pair of cars coming out of the states are Justin Shreeve's and Joe Ayala's S13's of Tandem of Die. If you've ever googled "stance" or "liked" a photo of a lowered car on any of your social media news feeds, then chances are you've heard of " Tandem of Die."
