The Kid Behind The No F**ks Given RX7 Is Building A Crazy Rolls-Royce Drift Car
You may remember Corbin Goodwin from that video with the crazy car. You know, the one with the bodged and battered RX7 that terrified small children as it cruised the streets. Well Corbin is back, and this time his modified motor will blow your mind.
Buoyed by the popularity of what was dubbed the 'Zero F*cks Given RX7' (above), Corbin sold the car for a vastly higher sum of money than it was worth. With that money burning a hole in his pocket, he set about finding a truly unique donor vehicle to transform into a badass drifter.
After much deliberation, research and nervous moments hovering over the eBay 'bid' button, Corbin finally decided to purchase a 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II.
His plan is to make it into a "JDM-inspired twin-turbo continent-eating luxury bruiser", which he will take around the country making films about the local car scene - and if he's overfunded he'll use the money to take the car worldwide.
So how exactly do you make a Rolls Royce drift ready? It's simple, says Goodwin, "just add two turbos to the front, put a manual behind the engine - and this engine is well suited for boost - then get a suitable rear-end, do some serious suspension work, and take it to the track." He's also promised to fit a roof exhaust. Seriously.
Despite unflappable confidence in his dream and his ability to achieve it, Corbin's lacking one vital thing: funds. He's set up a Kickstarter to raise the necessary moolah and hopes to raise $26,000 by June 24th, 2013.
