Alright ladies and gentlemen, behind me is my M2 drift build.
It is finally, I shouldn't even say finally because this build literally took two weeks.
We started this build like a week after SEMA ended, which is like November 10th.
It is now November, what's the day today?
26th.
So we finished this car yesterday.
15 days ago this was a bone, like scratch, like stock M2.
Now it is a freaking wide body drift missile that has like 600 wheel horsepower.
I'm going to take you guys from the front to the back, let you guys know all the modifications
that are done to this car.
First and foremost, the PSM dynamic wide body kit.
I know, I know you guys are hating on the Nardo Grey wide body fenders.
Those are temporary.
This was just for the LA Auto Show, but after the LA Auto Show, I'm going to be getting
exposed carbon wide body kits from PSM.
So it's going to look exactly like this, except the wide body fenders are going to be exposed
carbon.
I'm thinking about doing like a satin exposed carbon or something like that.
That's going to be cool.
We have headlights.
Those headlights are from New York.
Cool story behind this headlight.
I decided to do these headlights a week before this build was due, and I had to send these
out to New York.
FedEx charged me like $800 for overnight shipping to get these out there.
It normally takes them like three weeks to build this headlight.
They did it in like a day.
Sent these back.
The glue on the casing was still wet when I got it back.
I have the 2016 M2, which is a pre-LCI headlight.
So what 180NYC did are add these hexagonal angel eyes.
Those headlights, you can do whatever color you want on those headlights, and it's all
controlled through the app.
I'll do a quick demonstration.
So just off of your phone, you switch whatever color you want.
I like to keep it on blue because it actually matches the blue bar thingamajigger that's
in there.
We also have a PSM Dynamic front splitter.
I'm going to be getting another splitter on top of that from MFR after the auto show.
Cooling.
So this motor is now pushing 600 wheel horsepower.
Actually, just under 600 wheel horsepower.
The M2 now has a pure turbo stage two turbo upgrade kit, which gets this car to 500 wheel
horsepower.
On top of that, I have a low pressure and a high pressure fuel pump and direct port
fuel injection and E85 and another custom tune so that this car can run E85, which will
make this car eventually run at just under 600 wheel horsepower.
For all that added power, we definitely need to keep this car a lot cooler because it was
heat soaking a lot.
So we got CSF radiators hooking us up with the whole nine yards of the cooling system.
Skoll wheels.
Skoll is a company by Brixton Forged.
You guys know I have Brixton Forged wheels on the Huracan.
Skoll kind of takes this like retro styling from like the 60s or the 70s and put modern
technology into them and some of the modern like design cues and make really cool wheels
out of them.
So I asked Cody for some satin black wheels and the next thing he does is sends me this
paint on this wheel where you stick a flashlight onto it and it like glitters.
It's like shines.
It's really cool.
So I really like what Cody does.
Every time I ask for a certain paint color, he just blows it over the top and sends me
something cool.
Moving back, the whole interior has been reupholstered.
We got blue Alcantara with the Full Send logo embroidered onto the dash.
Full Send, by the way, Nelk.
Huge fan.
Please follow me back on Instagram.
That'd be appreciated.
Full Send is Nelk's logo.
It's also my like favorite catch line.
I don't know.
I just say Full Send all the time.
So why not put it embroidered literally onto the dash?
Of course, we got the e-brake so we can pull those drifts.
And then a new upgraded gear shifter, a brand new Sparco seat thanks to one of my friends.
Oh, and then let's not forget, we have the Studio RSR roll cage.
That's actually also temporary.
So after the LA Auto Show, we're gonna get a full cage that goes like all the way around.
It's gonna be legit like race car driving around the street.
We have a wing that was stolen from a Boeing 747.
And these brackets are made by MFR Engineering, Mike at MFR Engineering.
I love these people that like work on my cars because I asked them for something and they
just blow it over the top.
I legit did not know the Full Send was gonna be there.
Like I showed up to MFR to pick up my car.
I saw my wing literally drilled into the car.
Next thing I know is look at the strut and it says Full Send on it.
Mike, you're a funny ass guy.
The other big noticeable thing about the back is the diffuser and to put this giant diffuser
on the back, we had to relocate the exhaust onto the rear bumper.
And I was looking at some photos of another car, a Ferrari 458 Italia, and I was like,
why don't I just put like a Ferrari 458 exhaust onto my car?
So MFR Engineering literally cut a giant hole in the back bumper, rerouted the exhaust,
and put three big giant tips, completely straight piped onto the back of the car.
It sounds absolutely, absolutely amazing.
By the way, MFR, they make like legit stuff.
This diffuser is chassis mounted onto the car.
So I mean, it looks like flimsy sheet metal, but it's not, you could actually stand on
it.
I mean, give or take, I'm only like 150 pounds, but Mike, who weighs like 250 pounds, literally
stood on that diffuser and didn't move a bunch.
Everything here is chassis mounted.
The future lip I'm going to get, everything they make is chassis mounted, which is really
cool.
Now, also, as I mentioned earlier, my M2 is a 2016 M2.
It was a pre-LCI M2, so it didn't have the LCI lights, but Toby at Studio RSR, he figured
out a way to code and rewire the lights so I could have those LCI taillights on the back
of the car, which just looked 10 times better.
It's just a new, updated, all the brand new M2s come out with it.
Mine was the pre-facelift.
So now my M2 looks like the facelifted version.
And by the way, Studio RSR is ultimately the one that fully assembled this car.
I wrapped this car by myself, by the way, I'm never wrapping another car again.
My fingernails are about to fall off.
My skin's all peeling.
Don't ever wrap a car again.
It's like, I don't know how people do it, but yeah, at Studio RSR is where we built
this whole car.
We were up until like 8 a.m. every single night for a straight week.
Toby and I, he was literally falling asleep on the chair.
He pulled through, like honestly, if it wasn't for him, this car wouldn't be ready for the
LA Auto Show, which by the way, is tomorrow, which is crazy.
I'm like looking back at this car, literally not even two weeks ago, this car was a bone
stock M2 and now it looks like a mean drift machine.
It looks straight up like a race car, which is absolutely amazing.
If we come around to the interior real quick, obviously, blue Alcantara, which feels really
nice.
But the biggest thing you're going to notice are these bucket seats.
These were given to me by a good friend of mine, Slow Prius.
I'll put his Instagram right here.
Please go give him a follow because he literally just gave me these seats.
This seat, no bullshit, came out of a Prius.
He has a Prius, I mean, hence his Instagram name, Slow Prius, and he yanked these out
of his Prius because he had to return his lease or something like that, and gave me
these seats.
I've never owned like legit full race car bucket seats before, so going in and out of
this thing is like crazy.
Oh, I can't wait to give this car to a valet.
They're not going to figure out how to get in the seat.
I mean, just watch me kind of struggle into it.
Hey, you know what?
Dylan.
Come here.
We're going to make Dylan get into the seat just to show you guys how hard it is to actually
get into a race car bucket.
You can't get in.
Get in.
We're going to time him.
Here, hold on.
How long does it take to get into a race car bucket?
Actually, getting in is the easy part.
Getting out is the hard part.
Anyways.
Wait.
Nice boxers.
I'm in.
All right.
I'm going to time you getting out.
Three, two, one.
Get out as fast as you can.
The car is on fire.
I'm out.
Seven seconds.
Not the easiest things to get inside, but if you get inside this thing, let's not forget
I did practice this a lot.
Once I get in the car and adjust the steering wheel, this seat is so much more comfortable
than a regular car seat.
It's like you guys are never going to believe it, but I can sit here and I can go to sleep.
This seat is more comfortable than the original M2, and it just hugs you, and it hugs you
all around your body.
I feel so loved.
It's an amazing feeling.
Now, I'm going to try to get out without ... Imagine pulling out.
Imagine pulling out to a club like this.
Don't mind me, guys.
There you have it.
There's my Drift M2 build.
Come check it out at the LA Auto Show, Wednesday to November 28th, all the way up to December
9th.
It'll be at the front door.
The tickets to get into LA Auto Show are only $12 or something like that.
It's super cheap.
My car will be there along with millions of really, really cool builds, so please come
to LA Auto Show and check this out.
Other than that, thank you so much for watching, and I can't wait to do so many more shenanigans
with this car.
No other car in my garage will send me faster to jail than this car, so stay tuned to watch
how much trouble I get in with this car.
Until then, I'll see you guys next video.
Thanks for watching.
