#180 - The 180SX Episode with Archive 180SX
Episode 180 is dedicated to one of the most iconic drift platforms ever made: the Nissan 180SX. We sit down with Pat Lynch of Archive 180SX, Cole Mannon, and longtime friend of the shop Johnny Monaco to talk about their obsession with the chassis, how they each discovered 180s, and the styles, stories, and builds that shaped their love for the car. From rare aero finds to deep dives on body kits, fitment, and the culture around the 180SX community, this episode is all about why the 180SX remains the drift car.Check out our Sponsors!AG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/COUPON CODE:chasebaysafterhoursLIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!

#177 - Drifting On A Budget Is Back! $17.5k
The crew dives back into their fan-favorite “Drifting on a Budget” role-playing game, where each person picks a car off Facebook Marketplace and tries to survive a full season of drifting on a fixed $17,500 budget. With Johnny and Eddie joining in, the team debates car choices, negotiates imaginary deals, and plans repairs and upgrades while preparing for events like Opening Moves, East Coast Bash, and Drifters of December. It’s chaotic, funny, and full of drifting-nerd strategy as they try not to blow their entire budget before the season even starts. Be sure to leave us a review if you are enjoying this podcast!
