Drag racing and drifting are always forms of motorsport. One of the drift cars I work on is a Toyota Supra MK4, which is the Drift Masters South Africa 2023 and 2024 champion. I was the first person to build a compound turbo 2JZ in South Africa in 2020, and the first person to build a Toyota GT86 2JZ swap in 2015 in South Africa. I have a lot of photos and videos of cars, engines, and fabrication work I have done. One of few people that modified most of the different car manufacturers south africa.
