- A week ago Adam's MX5 perished in a fire at our Drift Games HQ. After putting months of time into perfecting every piece of his dream car, it was destroyed in minutes. Thanks to our amazing Drift Games fans picking up merch on our website, we decided to buy him another project...
Thank you all for your support, it means the world - www.driftgames.life

Really hoping that as a community we can help to bring back all of the cars you guys once had...
Justice for the rx7
It’ll happen and it’ll be even better !!
Give them some credit, I'm sure they can use some help, but I think they can make the comeback.. ✊️
Sadly, their pride wont allow it.... people want to help, it is what the community is for.
Not the same cars thats basically impossible
The codename for his car damn well better be Phoenix
I said the exact same thing
Perfect name
The Phoenix: a mythical bird that dies in flame, and is reborn gloriously from the ash.
YES!!! 🔥
Savage Phoenix
Guy loses everything, gets some money back and buys his friend a replacement car... Well done sir.
We debated buying this car a few weeks ago.
I’m so glad we didn’t.
It’s found its perfect home.
Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it 🖤
Seeing Adam upset in the fire video really made us realise how much was lost that night.
Made up to see this. Top lads 💯
Thinking of all the guys before yourself is a boss move god makes a way ❤
Insurance is such a con sometimes. So glad Adam has a project to raise the spirits up! 🙌
Sometimes??
Insurance is a business, they will do anything they can to not pay out. Modified cars is one of the easiest reasons to not pay out
Insurance is such a con S̶o̶m̶e̶t̶i̶m̶e̶s̶ most of the times.
Yes, frankly I am shocked - how low can an insurance company stoop to refuse even a single dollars payout on his car. That’s a diabolical immoral decision.
He wld have been better off saying the mx5 was stolen. They're unlikely to find its vin in the remains of the fire.
There is no single member of the DG family more deserving of this. So pleased for Adam, and kudos to you all for this gesture ❤️✊
Go Adam,knock this one out of the space time continuum!!! Perfect build !!! That's why I am a sub and why most importantly you guys are my #1 FAVE team holding it down for us,the followers and stewards of our fine car culture respectively!!!
warms my heart that driftgames has still got spirit, excited to see the new and improved driftgames
a came to this channel the day of that tragedy, and im deciding to stick around because i believe you guys will rise again and I want to see that, lots of love to you guys keep fighting
Check out their other videos, they have done so much cool stuff. I highly recommend their DMEC video from last year, they built a racetrack inside a soccer stadium in Poland, sold out all 55k seats, put on an incredible competition, then tore it all down in 5 days. They showed all the behind the scenes stuff with the construction and all that, awesome video series.
Damn boys, this was an awesome moment. THIS is EAXCTLY what Drift Games is all about. Congrats Adam!
No insurance cover because of where Adam parked his car.. insurance companies are absolute con artists!
Great to see all the guys smiling again 😄
And so it begins. You are almost back Dave, you can still hear it in your voice, but it will come, and I'm inspired by you and the team's resilience. Guess I need to go buy something else on the site so we can see another new project, if that's all it takes, I'm on it.
Good too see you smiling again Adam, all the best with the new car
Getting Adam a Datsun Sunny is the most incredible and heart warming thing I’ve seen all year everyone knows this will be the cleanest and dopest Sunny/Hakotora build ever made
Adam’s a legend. Well deserved after a horrible few weeks
you can burn a shed, but you cant burn down the spirit of this lads! ^^ so nice to see!
I’m glad I was able to help in a small part to this, Adam is the most deserving ❤
Dave.... you are an absolute legend with a heart of gold. To rise above what you have all been through and to do something like this for Adam is just simply amazing. God bless and big love to you all as this is just the beginning of an amazing journey 🥰
アダム頑張ってほしい。応援しています。
im one of the newer viewers since the fire happened, truelly broke my heart seeing Adam in tears as i do understand losing something precious, im very glad to see the team is looking much beter and happy for Adam to see he has a smile on his face. all the love and hope that you guys will only go up from here
I love how the car community as a collective have come together ❤️
Never, never give up. Videos like this make all of us stronger because show the value of friendship, honesty and loyalty. Well done!
Can we take a moment to enjoy the KLUNK of shutting the Datsun's door 😍What a great way to kick of the rebirth then with something just so cool. You guys are going to got this. 🙌🙌
You guys are gonna come back stronger than ever, i just feel it.
Clearly a Skyline front end is needed and hopefully an engine to match 😉
Such a great morale booster! Keep the momentum and you will all be back better than ever ❤
Glad my money has gone to help one of yous out I hope I can give some more for each and every one of you have a fresh re start ❤️
That is so awesome to see an old Datsun pickup in such a great condition
You all look in so much better shape! Hope the recovery goes this well, the community is here to help!
So damn stoked for Adam and for this build !! I'm Australian and I had a Datto 1600 with a SR20 turbo'd and that thing use to get down.......I still regret ever getting rid of it 💯 What beast to startwith and can't wait to see Adam build it to his dream 👍
Aussie too, and got a 1600 club car. :D
Got my DG shirt in the mail yesterday, it’s awesome in Irish green of course. Cheers lads from the US!
Couldnt be done for a more deserving dude. Nicely done drift games.
Best of luck…another mechanic from Lebanon 🇱🇧
I will be honest, I may have shed a tear! What a first step BACK. So much LOVE, so much RESPECT, so much PRIDE, Congratulations Adam and what a way to get back on your feet.
I cant wait to see this lil truck roaring down the road on its STROM wheels and fresh rubber from THE TYRE BOX, sitting under its one of one wheel arch kit by LIBERTY WALK, ridding right on BCRACING coils, turning tight on FDF suspension, with a freshly built SR purring under the bonnet fill of MOBIL1 and rolling road ready thanks to DRT, not missing a beat on it LINK ecu, SUNOCO fuel pulsing in its veins, chopping the gears on that SONAX trannie, my next garage floor from TUFF-TILE in the bed, DFIFT GAMES stickers on the windows thanks to PRECISION GRAPHICS, and a we will NEVER give up hoddie drapped over the passenger seat. Project PHOENIX, begins!
Well said 😂 just saying that its samsonas that make gearboxes and sonax make cleaning products and bunch of other useables. 🤙
The best thing a friend can give in a bad moment is be a true friend . Dave is the man and so is the entire Drift Games crew!
I’m not crying, your crying! 😊 this is amazing lads, great to see a smile on Adam’s face 👍
When the fire happened, I was really gutted for Adam,, he comes across as such a genuine happy guy. After watching a small % of the amount of hassle he had with the mx5. 5 engines. And that was the best mx5 I've seen. So glad for him. Nice one Dave and the guys, and anyone else who was involved. Legends.
DriftGames Rising up and coming back Better and Stronger than ever 👌 # DriftGames 2.0 👍
Glad to see a minitruck on the channel. I fully support the rotary swap idea - I want to put a 12A in my '95 Ford Ranger. Braps make the world go 'round.
Im not crying! 😢🤣 Awesome to see all the support pays off! ❤️
Extremely noble, to loose everything and have nothing left then give back to others before rebuilding yourself. This gesture whist made me a fan forever.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people. Great to see how the community and each other can band together in such a hard time.
So happy for you fellas, jumping right back into the driver's seat! 💯🔧🚗🏁®️
I love it when the car community no matter where in the world comes together to help.
I know you guys will recover, it may take some time but it will happen one tee shirt at a time. I bought two!!
what a smile on Adam's face, gotta love it!
I really wish you guys would accept a go fund me.
Not as a charity, but as us giving back to you. You guys give us so much in the form of entertainment, motivation and education. It's a community and communities come together to help in times of need.
Mad happy for Adam, insurances are painful, they aren't really there to help, they are a business and as any business, they maximize turnover.
Awww brilliant guys. I’ve something in my eye lol who would have thought Driftgames could bring tears to a grown man 💚😭
This is awesome. So happy for Adam! Built the only Miata I ever liked. Adam gotta go 13b or 12a! Do whatever pleases you of course!!
You guys need to name your first project “PHOENIX” as you are literally rebuilding from everything from the ashes! Huge respect to use and what your doing is showing people that when life gets tough yous can rebuild and improve and be better than the hardships you face! Life is tough but your determination is what decides where you end up! ❤
I still cant believe what happened to you guys. But I'm CERTAIN you guys will come back stronger, harder, and better. It WILL take time. It WILL be an emotionally difficult journey. But you guys WILL pull through. I know you guys begged for no help, but I really would like to help in any way possible. I bought just about everything you guys had, and to be honest, I wouldnt care if I never get any of it. Also, i got you guys a couple thousand views on each vid. Dont ask dont tell. I did it for the team, not the merch. But it doesnt feel like enough You guys have become part of my family over the years. And i cried with you guys. And I cried with this video too. Adam deserves it. You ALL deserve it. DRIFT GAMES 2.0! BIGGER, BETTER, FASTER! Btw, wrap it yellow and name it "DAT SUN" 😅 Cant wait to see adam do it justice with his zinc bolts!!
What an awesome car to give. That thing is so cool. Also the editing on this video is top notch. You guys are still killing it no matter the odds stacked against you. Keep up the vibes and the smiles.
Sorry for the over exposure in some of it. The gear is bit off and it was super sunny but cloudy at the same time🙂↕️. Lukas
@@driftgames_life no apology needed. As I was watching this I was appreciating all of the shots and the cuts with the music remembering what you guys are working with/through. The vibes are great. 👍
While it's the communities generosity and support that put you in the position to be able to do this.. It's your generaosity to not wait on the insurance etc for the guys before anything else.
Been saying this a bunch re people supporting you but Mad props to ya.. 100% right move
seeing the building up in flames then seeing the merch you guys were wearing "let me enjoy my ride" I was crying my eyeballs out, you guys are serious legends!!!!
this is the reason we are all here for, you guys are the best, keep doing what you are doing
This is absolutely soul warming. From another OCD car enthusiast that pays attention to all the detail- I salute 🫡 all of you. Not only for looking ahead and focusing on the positive but looking out for one another and caring for each other is what it’s all about. Please please please keep it up. From the ashes comes growth of new life, a new beginning, a blank canvas to create, inspire and share. Create your beautiful art my brothas! We are alive, we can not stop, and we won’t. Cheers for a very bright future to come. Illuminate that path for us all to see. We are here to support for the journey. Thankful for y’all.
Lovely truck🔥, well deserved project for Adam, looking forward to see you guys this weekend.
Rise from the ashes baby! Keep on keeping on boys. It can only get better from here! Never give up!
Adam was the nicest dude the two times I've been lucky enough to be invited to an event.
In all honesty, it’s not the cars, it’s the people that make the difference. Cars have meaning, but without the people they have no meaning. Looking that the positive, see this as a restart. New builds new ideas and new plans! Keep it up guys! We got your back ❤
A step foreword after such a lost is the biggest one, Good luck guys!
Amazing so happy for Adam. Merch merch merch buy buy buy 💪💪
Hey Dave; class act mate, pure class. If only every deserving bloke could have a mate like you...
Not a bad life. Just a bad day. It will most certainly get better. You guys are still crushing it.
Good stuff guys. So glad Adam was the one to kick off y’all’s new lives too. Was emotional watching, can’t imagine all y’all’s feelings. And hey Dave, going forward bud you don’t need to over explain or justify showing some joy or happiness. Take what’s been and being offered brother. And through the tragedy of the passed you/ y’all will flourish in the future. So glad you’re doing that. 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻🤟🏻
I absolutely love this, the world needs more of this wholesomeness
Also solid job on Adams part to not cry, I know I would've been in tears
South africans unite to help inspire this man with the cool shit we have done to these.
I'm so so happy for Adam as he was the one I most felt sorry for.
It’s really awful what happened to you all. And It’s so cool that you are still taking care of your own. A lot of respect for that.
The DRIFT GAMES PHOENIX will rise again . can't wait to see the up and coming projects.
It's amazing seeing all of you staying positive.
I can only imagine how you all feel.
This was a amazing thing you all did for him.
Excited to see what Adam does with "Our" new DG truck😁
No ”” needed 😏
Well done,guys,well done Adam! No doubt will be savage looking !
Adam may not have shown a tear, but I did. Welcome to the datsun family adam, and also I look forward to potentially welcoming you to the rotary datsun community as well. You guys are awesome for doing this and cant wait to see what you do with it!
These are so common here, good to see people appreciate them a lot overseas
Sorry to say that I discovered you all from the tragedy. But I am loving you guys and the backlog of content and am here to support y'all for the long run.
You guys are a inspiration. To suffer such a monstrous business catastrophe, and to be bouncing back with positive energy.
You just experienced the “apocalypse” - but I believe VALHALLA is just around the corner !!!
Im glad to see that they moved forward and are actually coming together. This scenario can either make or break a team and if this team stays together nothing will ever stop them
This was awesome to see and especially because I am a big fan of the old Datsun's of that era. I have a 1970 Datsun 510 4 door (Datsun named it a 1600 in Australia).
It's great to see you guys are being able to get back into to swing of things. You have mentioned in your last few videos about not wanting charity but I urge you to consider carefully how you think about that. I'm a fairly recent subscriber but I can tell that you guys as a team have given a lot to not only your CZcams community but also your local and international Drifting Community. Your contribution has helped promote it to a level that it wouldn't be at without you so don't be too hesitant to accept help that will do the same for you. People want to support you and they feel confident giving to you guys because they know that if Drift Games gets better as a company it elevates the sport, the community and the businesses that rely on it. They want Drift Games to be back the way it was as soon as possible and if those that are able, want to contribute to make that happen, just consider whether refusing their "charity" isn't taking from them the opportunity to have that.
Just a thought.
Warms my heart.... Hear me out on the engine swap Sr16ve on itb's! Same footprint as the sr20 as it's just destroked and just epic sounds. Less than 200hp too so you wont break everything.
This community is amazing. In no time at all you will be back so semi normal.
While watching the tragic video of the fire I noticed everyone grieving but I don’t think I saw anyone as down as Adam so I’m so glad to see a smile again and see him stoked for what’s to happen awesome to see just a sign that ur comin back better and stronger
Im also a new viewer since everything happened and i will be here forever so you guys can rebuild a new beautiful story 💪🏼
Let’s make sure we’re all hitting the like button on all these videos to make sure they’re getting the absolute most viewership to help fund their rebuild!💪🏾
Dang gents, this even put huge smile on my face. That little Dustsan is iconic here in South Africa aswell, this one going to be fun one for Adam.
GG Guys.
Epic choice, looking forward to seeing what Adam does with it 🤘🏻
Great video guys, Beautiful little pickup for adam. See you boys at the weekend!
A thumbs up seems sooo inadequate, with everything that has gone on, Dave you are the man. Nothing beats helping out your mates love love love your work.
great to see adam smile again and everyone back up in high spirits
I never buy merch since im a broke drifter, but i bought what i could to help as soon as i saw what happened. Seeing what everyone who bought merch was able to do for Adam makes me so freaking happy, thats a rad car. I could care less about the shirt but when i do get it, it will be my favorite, just for the meaning behind it and the whole drift community.
Im hoping we can all come together and help build back up drift games to BIGGER than it was before the fire. I foresee it becoming MASSIVE. Its an unfortunate way of the word getting out about drift games but i think this will become an amazing thing.
Pleased Adam’s got something to get into, watching that poor fella literally sobbing a couple weeks ago broke my heart for him. You all deserve better but this is a cracking move.
Such a great gesture! After all you have all been through, this is a shining light in the dark!
The Datsun truck has been an all time favourite of mine , that’s a wicked choice he seems over the moon to have it you are all amazing 💯
What a fabulous little Sunny! 🤍 Datsun were pretty ubiquitous in Australia in the 70's & 80's and popular little rally cars too.... I have a soft spot for them as one of my dad's rally cars was a Datsun 1600. Adam's going to have a blast making that his own, looks in better condition than I remember them being brand new! LOL What an amazing gesture & a fitting way to kick off the healing process. 🏁💜
.. I cried for Adam 😭😭😭 WE BACK BABY ! Lets Fcuking go ! Huge fan all the way from South Africa ..
Giving up never was an option, happy for the whole team and especially for Adam, keep it going lads!
Really happy for Adam! These are very popular in South Africa.. they were build here till 2012!
Any positive news about drift games an the employees literally makes my day I love the content
Absolutely delighted for Adam well deserved
Congratulations Brother!! Just looking at it - it needs a 4 Rotor!!
To the Drift Games Team - you are truely an inspiration to many, keep being you always and God bless. Love from New Zealand
Post apocalypse merch! Is a must!!
This made my day. Was feeling shite but this cheered me up. Adam is such a nice guy and deserves it
Nice one guys and look forward to Adam putting his stamp on it. Top guy
