Summary Kevin Behind The Build EP.3: In this installation of the series, Kevin Lawrence’s RHD Nissan S14 is going under the knife yet again but this time coming out better than ever. With a larger radiator (being pushed to the rear), a new dog box and more…Kevin also explains a bit about what it’s like to be a new driver in professional drifting.

Summary Nate Hamilton The Build EP.4:  As the final phases are approaching, Nate is realizing the need for change and the upside of embracing change. Watch as the Nissan S13 as it gets violated to the extreme; of being welded, stripped, cut apart and more. Follow witness to just how much beauty can be created from some an array of processes. This episode is a great representation of not only the mind-set of a driver, needed to succeed in this industry but also the work ethic and team work necessary to produce such quality, which in the end separates those who strive towards the same goal.
