Drifting project cars with friends is always a good time. Its always nerve-racking taking out a freshly restored project car onto track.. Our 240sx s13 drift cars have some very different engine swaps; SR20det, RB25det, and VQ35de-T.
While crashing is a part of drifting, I do believe different measures could have been taken to reduce the damage on my restored 240sx..

I spent the last 7 years building this 1990 Nissan 240sx from the ground up by myself. I swapped out the KA24e for a KA24de. Then once more for a RB25det out of a R34 Skyline and couldn't be happier. I have also converted the 240 to right hand drive, (which ended up saving my life!) After installing a few drift parts; such as a hydro E - Brake, and dual rear calipers, welded diff, solid suspension bushings and more, the car handled amazing. Surprisingly this S13 was able to drift and stay sideways perfectly despite the damage that was done to it.

Never you shill
Poor 240 but we love you Mike and we will all definitely be here to watch you replace the same quarter panel again you got this bro keep your head high
I was gonna say at least it wasn't your taillights or wheels but 😅
Quick question, what type of camera do you use for ur videos?
@@Meow_Merchantdudes gotta eat/pay for his many projects. Chill out.
Having the fender bender in the start made every drift that much more tense.
The people hating on your car more than likely have never had a project that they were passionate about. They are apart of the "throw-away" society that we currently live in. Your build is super inspiring and is giving me the motivation to cut up my first car to fix as well. Keep doing what you're doing.
The 240 is amazing and it’s genuinely wild that people would show hate towards something that was restored with passion.
If one hates what another has passionately created they might as well hate the creator, for what has been created typically is symbolic and representative.
Long live the 240
they hate because they cant do what he did they dont have the dedication and consistency he got
@@brxezoit separates the wheat from the chaff.
@@brxezo Exactly bro, hating from the stands or they just driving a car they can't fix lol
Just to show support for this New Corner Panel 💵
Appreciate you homie 🙏💙
I love the fact that you continue drifting after the crash
And the guy whith the red 180 seems to be a really good guy
Dude never stop making these you and Fran are amazing, hope to be like you guys one day. Don’t listen to the people hating on the car they never will understand the true passion for the car. Buying merch when I can afford to help fund that quarter panel. ❤
hey prizza thanks for uploading and being very transparent towards the end, people will find anything to degrade another person’s build but at the end of the day they have a car with no story while you do! your 240 is no longer just a car but a chapter in your life reminding you of all the good and bad times
The 240 has its battle scars but it'll come back even stronger. I've seen a couple comments about pulling the dent back out, and I also reckon you should give panel beating a go. Definitely one of the most exciting builds on YT the story is insane🔥🔥
The h8ters trying to say your car's unsafe? Apparently they haven't watched any of your videos. Not only have you properly rebuilt your car, but you have rebuilt it better and more safely than it was when it was new. Keep doing what you do and let the h8ters hate. You're doing an awesome inspiring job. Keep living the dream, and keep drifting!
I think it’s so odd that people love Jake now that he’s passed away but he was notoriously a pos before he died and was always at the centre of some controversy. None the less great video.
im so happy that you're uploading as frequently as you are, man. this channel is a gem!
Don’t listen to the haters Mike. They might think it’s just a “240” but we all know that it means way more than that to you. This car is much more than the sum of all its parts. And the time and effort you have into this thing makes it so much more special than any other car could be to you.
I know you spent so much time on this car, bringing the exterior back to an oe spec, but what about running over fenders to hide the damage?
That would also make it easier to fix if something like this happens again to the car.
Keep up the positivity Mike, the 240 will be back better than ever.
The ending message resonates, I went on the honda-tech forum to ask a few questions about budget ideas for getting a flex joint on an exhaust and immediately got hate about doing cheap things to cars and they were tired of people on there making junk repairs, I was surprised at the amount of emotion that came from a simple question and I've seen the same responses over and over on car forums, the amount of ego and insecurity in many people who build cars is uninspiring to be a part of sometimes.
I can't help but admire how your mindset is so strong and always present, it clearly got you very far and will get you a lot further. huge inspiration Mike keep it up:)
The Night-Drift Session at 12:52 gave me a heavy load of Goosebumps🥰
People hating on your build is lame you worked hard and did it right. You should be so proud of bringing this car back from the dead. Yeah him following to close sucks but spin outs happen in drifting especially at amateur events. No matter how careful you are accidents are going to happen in drifting. Things like blowouts and brake fad are unavoidable even if the cars have good separation. I don’t say it to be a jerk but maybe only do solo runs or retire it and build another car. If your are gonna drift this car it’s gotta b a risk your willing to take. Especially if you choose to tandem with it it’s gonna get banged up at some point.
This is one of the greatest drifting/car channels in a long time, i havnt enjoyed content like this since the old Haggard days
This was easily the best drifting footage I’ve seen in a while! The way you filmed it was really enjoyable to watch. Can’t wait to watch you fix the damage and complete the car!
Mike, with every aditional driver near you when drifting, you are doubling/ tripling the chances of a crash, its just the way it is. Beauty never lasts in drift.
You've got 118K people behind you bro, these haters are just jealous on many levels. You'll have her looking better than befoe in no time chief!
The fact that it took that hard of a hit and didn’t hurt anyone should’ve proved the haters wrong immediately. I can’t imagine putting all that work into something and people hating on it, probably because they don’t have the balls to do so themselves. You’re killin it dude, screw the haters 🤙
That’s a great point. He said the whole time it’ll be more structurally sound then From factory and it clearly is
Daaaaamn i guess you gotta get a z33 to drift so you stop using all the s13 parts left on this thing. Hella good drifting! Really sucks that you were getting followed so closely. It looked really cool until your fender was caved in. On another note car has seen worse so it'll be fine in the long run and good thing it wasn't painted yet, really sucks the oil pan was dented again but we saw it coming, gonna have to get that low profile oil pan sooner. Also saw some z33's 🤤 I love seeing z33's from behind just sooo clean It's what made me fall in love with the z33-z34 body style. Saw an s2000 as well!
I agree, a z33 would be a good seat time car!
Looked like fun, but damn that dent... I actually had a tear 😢 Well back to finding a clean rear quarter panel. Love the car!
bro im so so so proud of u man you can fix that man you BUILT THE HOLE CAR ALOT of people cant say that man your got this bro
Time to give the 240 the showcar treatment and get a seattime Z, that way you dont have to be stressed too much about who you're driving with. Regardless of what you decide, your fans are here for you, man. Youve fixed it once, you can fix it again. Take a moment to appreciate how much youve learned and grown since starting the restoration of the 240, and get back to it. 🤘
I watched your 240 series from the start and it sucks to see that panel bent again. Best of luck to replace it!
Weld tabs and get the ram hammer and you could probably get that out, then get some good body filler for it.
Mike it's such a nice guy, even doe you can see on him that he got upset after the crash, he didn't let that ruin his day
heeyyy thats me ! thank you mike! see you soon !
🫡🔥
Not one to usually comment but surely the fact that the car took a major hit in the whole side that was replaced shows the structural integrity of the work carried out and shows the haters that there is really nothing to hate on, but hey haters gonna hate.
Just keeping doing you and let the mouth breathers that like to criticize get on with their obviously uninteresting lives lol
Keep your head up mike, we're all with you! And it's clear that this car is 150% safer than most of them sliding there
Another chapter in the story of the 240, we know you'll fix her up and it'll come back stronger than before. Keep inspiring Mike!
You two are the coolest couple! You both always go on nice adventures, keep doing what you doing my guy!!!!
That guy at the start line at 11:45 looks SO hyped, that must be a great hypeman for a drift session
The way Franzy looks at u is crazy bro I’m gonna take a bath with my toaster
Dude so sad 😢, but it's drift life. Atleast it wasnt the B pillar again. I'll support the 2nd rebuild. Loved Fran squishing your head, that was something my mom and I would do, so thanks Fran!
sorry to hear how some people hated on your car. but just remember there is 118.000 people that follows you, and loves your car and would freak out seeing it IRL. personally i would mabye some day. keep up the good work 💪💪💪
When people are jealous it comes out as hate sometimes.. As long as you are ok , dont worry about metal.. 90% of tandems with over 2 cars usually end this way.. Thats why in Japan they have missiles for that purpose.. You could either fix the car and leave it out of events while buying another chassi for drifting or keep this a missile trying to repair it every time.. Its sad to see rare parts as your tail being smashed by the rush of someone else! Keep up the good work my guy 🎉
Man dude, I completely felt your pain as soon as you stepped out and looked at it, I’m like noooo!
The good news is that you have parts to fix it AGAIN........ The BAD NEWS..... You have to fix it AGAIN!!!!
Honestly, whoever hates on this build to me just sounds like they are jealous, because if you love cars, like I believe or want to believe all of us actual car enthusiasts do, there is nothing but respect for what you have achieved. And in my own personal opinion the hate that they portray towards the 240/180 is pure jealousy, and not jealousy of the car, jealousy of how you managed to turn the death of the car into it rebirth, jealous that it was going so downhill and you came not only back, but better, jealous of you not giving up, and jealous because they know that if they were placed in the same situation, they wouldn’t find the solutions that you did and it burns them inside to not be the ones in that position, so in a way, their hate is admiration. Don’t let that, or the unfortunate crushed quarter panel ruin your spirit. Make sure that you enjoy getting that fixed and don’t let it knock you down, perhaps while yours in there you might get or fabricate some sort of cage to prevent the quarter from being caved in so easily. You got this Mike, you’re a HUGE inspiration, and thanks to you I’m close to getting my project back on the streets.
Almost 1 hour of PrizzaMike godness!!! Amazed to see the 240 ripping again, Omar putting work and Rio Bash still alive! Such a shame to see the haters and the crash near the end but oh well, it's a part of it! Keep the good energy up and use it to overcome the new days that are coming! You got this man!!! Oh, Happy B-day Franzy!!! lol
So sorry it got banged up, don’t listen to the haters, you rebuilt it with Love and I’m sure it’s in much better shape mechanically than all the haters cars. Keep grinding and you’ll always come out on top!! #RESPECT
Mate. Sorry to see your damage after all your work. Don't worry about the haters. Keep up the good work.
that drifting footage with that song hits hard no lie
Hey man, I love leaving comments and seeing each and every video you post. I remember when the first t-bone happened and man, fixing that thing looked impossible. Youve shown me how much can actually be done even being constrained on time and money. Your videos of this car have helped me on my car an unreal amount. Its now rust free and has new panels welded, and proper happy door gaps. Hoping everything goes smooth after you get the damage out!
Hey man, let the haters hate. You’re my biggest inspiration when it comes to restoring my car. I had to cut out the floor, sills, doorstep, toeboard, rear subframe mounts, trunk floor, …
The only knowledge I have is from all your video’s since the start of your T-bone. Without you I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now, and I definitely wouldn’t know as much as I do now.
Keep up the positive spirit and good luck with finding a new quarter panel, you got this! 🦾🦾
If you can picture it in your mind, you can shape it in your life ✊🏽 just know whatever it is we support ya!
Loving the longer video's Mike🙂 happy birthday Franz🥳
Love that she knows how to record while drifting
Paintless dent repair is your BEST friend
damn .... but on the bright side .... MORE OF PriZZAMIKEEEEEEEEEEEEE and the legendary 240
i cant deny man... you are drifting you gotta remember these things happen if you want to drift get a separate car to drift and dont drift the car you love
I worked a paint and body shop here in Dallas that is pretty famous we worked on the gas monkey f40, i have seen and worked on race cars and street cars with the same damage and we rebuilt them to be back on the road. there was one Lamborghini that a son of an rv dealer bough and destroyed running from the cops and the insurance was over 200k in repairs. so the haters do not know what they are talking about, nor have they ever fixed a car. those are the guys that get a dent and then reshell a car. good work Mike keep it up and middle fingers to the haters!!!!!!
Just purchased Whither - I'd Stay Forever from Itunes , thanks for the new band. Fran trapped us there , you never guess a ladies age
They're such a great band!!
And you were raised with manners! Love to hear it 😁
anyone hating because they think this car is unsafe or because they think you’re dumb for putting in all this work and money to bring this car back are just simply projecting the fact that they wouldn’t be able to rebuild a car to this extent 🤷♂️. Good stuff bro you’re very inspirational not because you have a 240sx but the way you just get stuff done, especially in a driveway. You’re always fixing and making something better !
Why is Omar leading lmfao that man lost all privileges to lead after watching this xD
So much work put into this videos, thanks Mike.
It’s so crazy to wait it slide so clean again mad respect prizza
that was a painful crunch especially after watching the struggle it took and the months long process of putting the 240 back together only for it to be folded like that. time to start again 😅😅
I really dont know if this would help, but there is a method wich is to inflate a football ball inside the quarter panel to pop it out a bit and then use some welding rods to take out the more extensive damage, it worked for me but it was less damage than that , good luck with that and keep it up!
Love that z31 300zx.
Denis the menace is such a legend😂
The good thing is, with vids like this we get to see your whole process of rebuilding AGAIN !! We love it no matter the damage 🙏 we are here for all content you bring ✅✅✅
yeah i don't agree with what the haters have to say about your car and honestly they got no right to validate anyone, what are they gatekeepers? ironic that its rio bash too i seen the people around jake rio would bully him for not being able to afford beers for them cause he spent it all on his build. east coast drift community seems a little odd so careful who you surround yourself. it's hard not to appreciate the work you put in.. so hating on your build is kind of crazy to me..
it's been a sec since i have been able to keep up, cause things are so crazy for me the past 2 months, but i saw the video title, and had to click. :( I hope you're able to repair the 240 soon, and it doesn't get you down too bad. you're simply the best channel i sub to in my opinion. y'all keep rocking, and don't slow down for anyone.
The best part is that we ALL know this isn’t the end :) literally proved the haters wrong, the car took the doink pretty well. Like everyone always says, your ability to stay positive in the face of adversity is why we all love watching the journey
I really enjoyed and appreciated the longer video Mike! It sucks to see more damages to the 240 but she will get fixed in no time! I'm glad to see you guys had fun though!
all of those drift shots look so awesome, my god that looks like such great fun. this is probably the best car content on the platform, never stop what you are doing
Now this was an amazing video. Not only for the content but the length of it, I just get so excited whenever I see that you upload a video from the 240, it has so much history!
Man that dent hurt so much, but I'm pretty sure you'll figure it out, the 240 will never die!
youre videos always give the best vibe watched the whole thing and didnt even notice it was 43 mins long great video hope you can get the car fixed soon goodluck!
It's all good dude, just adds to the character.
ur videos keep showing me that life happens shit happens just dont stop and never give up cant wait to see u redo the rear i hope this time u can get a quater easier stay safe homie
That quarter panel can be repaired without replacement. A good body guy can pull it out and make it straight again.
Loved the sound from the outboard camera. Happy birthday Franny!
Im telling ya Mike, you need to build a Firebird Drift Missle since you come across them so often in junk yards that parts would never be an issue ever again haha. Would make an interesting series swapping in an import drive train if you decide to go that route though lol
love you man, such an amazing experience seeing you build your car for so long and now finally being able to drift it!
First off. I gotta say I have been watching your videos for about 3 years. I'm never going to stop. It sucks what happened to that quarter panel. But that happens in drifting. Looking forward to more gloria vids. Imma have to go buy some merch. Keep up the great content.
Awesome video as always man shoutout to you from NZ! Always love the positive vibes you bring and cheers for inspiring me and others to get into cars man! Happy Birthday to Fran too!! 🎉
really appreciate the little things like the brake light fix, I just had the same issue and would’ve never figured it out without you! ❤
O kurde przyjacielu oglądam cię na bieżąco od prawie 2 lat i widziałem ile trudu włożyłeś w to auto naprawdę współczuje i czuje twój ból ale najważniejsze w życiu jest aby się nie poddawać i przeć do przodu wieżę że dasz radę sobie z tym poradzić, no bo kto jak nie ty. Trzymaj się, na pewno dasz radę!
Good luck pulling that dent, love your channel. Its my favorite youtube channel, can't wait for the next update. Oh and Happy Birthday Fran.
I'm loving your videos Mike. Thank you
I came across someone who didn't approve of this rebuild and it confused me. I never expected anyone to hate to your face. Sad you experienced that especially at your home track. You've accomplished something very few have the skills or the audacity to even attempt. Keep doing your thing and don't get discouraged.
its so awesome to see you out drifting with your friends man, good to see the car back drifting again! im so gutted for you bro but you will bounce back with a new quarter again soon i can see it! you an fran are amazing i hope she has the best birthday ever! and im buying merch to help you fund another rear quarter my dude! be safe an keep moving forward bro, your such an inspiration man!
@PrizzaMike you know its kinda funny how people hate so much but its totally "cool," and "okay" when people restore old muscle, and jdm cars that have rotten to bits. i dont understand why hate about it i think its awesome you restored your car cause you love it so much, and i feel you heavily on it cause i have done the same 2 TIMES! to my honda! Keep up thew hard work bro i love your content , and remember hate is just fuel to the fire that powers our work!
Saturday morning coffee and cars. 👍 👌
I'm actually changing out my starter 😂
Just adding to the 240 lore brother, keep your head up
watching the full video homie and i just want to say i appreciate you and everything you do! our runs at the end of the day are forever gonna be a core memory, was seriously so fun! i know it's another set back but i know it'll be back better
I went through Omar's first spin when the tire blew frame by frame and you can see the spot where a piece of rubber opened the fuel door, and then a 2nd piece came through and slapped the door right off the car... If you watch the frames you can see it floating up above Omar's car like a flying saucer for quite awhile before coming down right in front of yours and bouncing on the pavement a few times. You can see sparks coming from under the wheel early on in the frames before the carnage really started as well.
It's a shame about your rear quarter, though! Maybe you need to bring a rubber mallet to events... just hammer that thing out, and it'll be good to go'ish!
Not sure why people would be hating on your car for being unsafe though... I mean obviously I haven't driven it, so I don't truly know, but it seems like it has driven normally since you fixed it, and I haven't seen evidence it was about to come apart, so what's the problem? If they think it's "unsafe" now, I wonder what they thought when you drifted that one time right after the crash when it was still all smashed in... Also, don't drift events have a safety check before you're allowed to drive and did you pass it? If so, then again what the prob?
Anyway, while I'm sure you're bummed, I have confidence you'll be able to get this thing fixed. Hardest part will probably be finding another decent fender.
Just remember everthing happens for a reason and that youv inspired me so much🤙
sorry to see that bro after all your hard work but just glad to see you walked away not hurt bro keep the good work up 🤙🏼💯
I guess that's the part of drifting but I think 240 after all this hard work and surgery that it's been through deserves a rest. For me it would be constant stress that anything can happen to this car. Of course it's your build and decision, I Hope there is another mint quarter panel somewhere for you and the car will be done soon ❤
You never gave up when that whole side was caved in, you'll fix the beast again ❤️
Well, dude. It'll pull out, at least you haven't painted it yet, the frame ain't bent & nobody died! To quote a cheesey movie line: "Rubbin's racin'" 😁
Guys! Guys! The man drifted this car when it was folded in half... This is no big deal. He'll fix it... as soon as he finds another quarter...
Keep going Mike do what you do best. . Let no one detour you . Keep the great vids coming.
ur driving is on point my man! cars looking great on track, awesome weekend for sure
you are so lucky with ur GF. shes always smiling and she is very supportive of you.
