Chassis introduction: I've had this chassis for a little over a yr and a half now. It's gone through many changes and updates. In its current form it is very capable and has taken 4th and 5th place in consecutive drift battles (the only thing holding it back is my nerves) It is almost full OverDose at this point and has a tun of rare JDM parts.
