Dustin Jennette & Patrick “Yota” Whitley Drift Car Build

[JITB]

I met Dustin and Yota during my first two years of college through mutual friends. Three years passed by and they are now two of my best friends and now teammates. It has been a long and rough year and a half to say the least but to see these two cars become what they are today is incredible and I am happy to share with everyone the final products. But this is only the beginning…

After actively competing in D2 and collegiate paintball, no more than two years ago, a decision was made to start building drift cars up to par with pro-amateur specifications. Drifting is a dream both Dustin and Yota wanted to live. Why not go for it?

The decision to chase their dream is not only full of hard work and dedication, but involves risks with no guarantee of success. But I think that is a part of the fun, especially when it’s with your friends. It will be a good experience nonetheless.

I think the one thing really I love about these cars is their individual style. They are so different, yet they were built side by side in the same back yard shop. The cars reflect a little bit of their background too. Dustin having had a boosted JDM front integra and Yota with a lifted camo cummins Dodge.

Dustin and Yota took a different approach than most do when getting into drifting. They decided they wanted to fully build their cars first. This is probably frowned upon by most but they aren't in it to impress critiques. L

Dustin went with a traditional drift car style with an awesome color that really stands out from the rest. At the heart of his minty machine is a built S20det with an upgraded gt2871rs turbo. He has tubbed the front fenders and done a complete overhaul on the suspension along with Fortune Auto coilovers. It’ll put you in your seat! The car is still awaiting a custom built cage and also a seat that should be completed by January.

Yota decided he wanted something unique and fun with a southern backwoods theme that also showed his roots. I think he hit that nail on the head. He calls it the Skew40. Under the hood is an LS3 and tubed front end. The Mossy Oak camo wrap is what really sets it apart from...everything, not to mention the Micky Thompson wheels. It screams merica’, literally. He has also reworked the entire suspension and added Fortune Auto coilovers. A fully custom cage built by Yota himself, Status seat, and custom gauge and switch panels make up the interior.

In the midst of all of this they have also started a digital printing business called Sticker Shark, to help support the drifting. Tires ain’t cheap! They are currently focused on stickers and vinyl wrapping.

In a sense, these are works of art. Any car guy or girl will understand. I love seeing a completed race car before its even seen any track time. All the hard work and long sleepless nights spent diagnosing the little things that always seem to get in the way. Taking it apart and putting it back together over and over and over. It’s all worth it in the end. It’s all to chase a dream. Everything to do with these cars apart from the tuning has been done by Dustin and Yota and the help and support of some dedicated friends and family. They are true “go-getters” and I have tons of respect for them for it. They are just two normal car guys from South Georgia. There is never a dull moment with these two.

Dustin and Yota would like to say Thanks to EVERYONE who lent a helping hand and supported the building of these cars and the decision to chase a dream and a special Thanks to Mom and Dad for all the love and support along the bumpy road. A big shout out to StickerShark (http://www.facebook.com/StickerShark?fref=ts)L, HateGrip (http://www.facebook.com/hategrip?fref=ts), and SOUTHRNFRESH (http://www.facebook.com/pages/SOUTHRNFRESH/369346666943?fref=ts)!

Drift cars frustrate me more than anything on wheels...........

if i had to think of a way to describe my frustration it would be something like this. A drift car is like a girl who looks like a supermodel, but decides to shave her head and wear overalls just for the fuck of it, just to reject normality.

I look at all of these cars, the camo one specifically... and certain aspects of it are amazing.... they really show that the car is extremely well built and great attention to detail was shown.... but the car as a whole... all of them.... look like complete ass.

Why is it acceptable for drift cars to look so fucked up?????? there's no way you can have this much automotive skill and ability and not be able to make your bumper fit correctly..... i dont get it....


To the OP, pictures are great.

[VQ35 Star]

maybe he bought a replica, painted it before test fitting? :dunno:

seems like they wouldnt plaster the cars with cheaply made fragile fiberglass then eh?

the mint colored car has a bumper that doesnt fit simply because it doesnt fit. it's not the result of damage.

what kind of body part can you buy that can sustain impact sin? don't worry, i'll wait

What is that Saturn's bumper made of that makes it flexible and damage resistant?

[Sammich]

everything is gona break, dont matter the material. plainly stating, it doesnt matter what parts they use on the exterior body parts of their vehicle, they drift, they will at times hit the wall/each other. damage is damage. why get upset about what they put on THEIR car to drift in?

You're not worthy of having an automotive conversation with me. I am no longer going to belittle myself by explaining things to you. The most basic common knowledge things about cars, you seem completely oblivious of. Honest to god, swear on my life.... my initial reaction when i read your posts is "stay in the kitchen"..... because my brain's subconscious response to reading something so stupid about cars is to assume it's being said by a woman.


I'll see you in the entertainment and offtopic sections :goodjob:

how about them Falcons? Drew Brees might as well of handed his record to Tom Brady last night.

[Elbow]

It's a fad to have a crappy looking drift car, there's no reasoning behind it, they just want to say "I drift hard bro."

The cars in the photos aren't bad, they remind me of a used and abused circle track car. lol I'm speaking of the REALLY beat up 240s and what not that drive around.

[d-man478]

I'm aware that my bumper doesn't fit well. That is one of the things that piss me off about my car. My dad did bodywork for 30 years and I promise you we cut, sanded and grinder the bumper to try to get a proper fit. It is also designed to come off easily. If that's all you find wrong with my car, thats great. There are so many other things I would love to do better on it.
With that being said, I really appreciate all of the love and criticism on the cars. We tried to build these things the right way and not cut corners like most "drift cars."

Buy the real thing and it'll fit right man. Having those fenders and that lip is not worth having the gaps in the body work. The money you save from buying replica vs OEM, you will spend in the long run with excessive body work and repairs. Plus, if youre into drifting.... a urethane bumper isnt going to explode if you hit a cone.


but... maybe it's just me. I'm anal about body work, those gaps are like nails on a chalk board to me. Real parts make a world of difference in the execution. Buy nice, not twice.

[JITB]

Anyone that is funding their own drifting career, buying real expensive body parts isnt a smart thing to do for your pocket. All of fd cars are replica down front to back on body parts and even wheels. Even tho the fit and finish may suffer it just doesnt make sense to spend that money on a 900$ bumper and you get it split in half.

That's how i rolled, and i'm just as broke as the next guy. The real bumper isnt gonna bust into 50 pieces when you hit a cone.

Correct me if im wrong..... but drifting isnt a race.... there's no lap times... ... its about style....

What's the point of participating in a "sport" based on looking cool if your car looks like shit. It's like figure skating in sweat pants.

[d-man478]

Not trying to be a dick, but I think a lot of people think both cars look pretty cool.

the things about it that i dont like, you dont like either. if you could go back and do it over again, you wouldnt buy those fiberglass pieces again. I'm sure you were not happy when that shit didnt line up, but for the moment youre stuck with it. When the time comes to replace it, buy the real stuff.

[RSGM]

Real parts make a world of difference in the execution.



Nobody cares about your stupid smart-ass remarks and opinions. Clearly money that could have been used on a real bumper, that probably would have been destroyed anyway, was used elsewhere for more important things. You talk a lot about having real parts. Then I saw your horrible looking lancer with evo body parts, FAKE split wheels, and eyelids and it was clear, your taste is the problem.

You're wrong again buddy. I would much rather have Origin over fenders rather than pull my fenders 30mm and they look like even more shit than my fiberglass pieces. Also, I would buy the fiberglass kit again as well. I like it and it's my car. A quarter inch gap doesn't make me lose any sleep at night.

P.s. Please respond again. I haven't been in an internet argument since I was 14. This is enjoyable.

[C230K]

Drifting looks like fun, but at the same time expensive with all the tires you have to buy, great looking cars. If I had to choose I would pick the blue one

i can make a bumper fit. I paid $2800 for the lancer, it's nothing more than a resell. I've had 3 cars for every year you've been alive boy, move along. I comment on 240s because ive had about 5 of them.

It took you 5 240's to have one that looks decent? and you're still on fake wheels? If its a resell then why are you modifying it? That hurts the value, you know. 63 cars is a lot to still have fake parts and comment on how its wrong for others to have knock off parts. Something isn't right here.

Lolol @ "fake" wheels. People still use that as leverage in an argument?

For the record, d-man, I'll be honest and say that I don't really care for either car, but I won't belittle you for it because it's your car and you do what you will. No love lost because, although our tastes may differ, we still both enjoy cars.

There's a difference between being a Kardashian brand whore and expecting quality. Most rims on the market are made using the exact same methods as expensive rims. While high end companies like Rays do use a more advanced method to make higher quality rims for race cars, a majority of their wheels are manufactured in the same way and with the same structural integrity as the cheaper companies. There's so many replica wheels in the world right now most people dont know what is a replica and what isnt.

The difference between an OEM polyurethane bumper and a fiberglass bumper is astronomical. The difference in a replica wheel and an "authentic" wheel is only in your pocket. But you see, the difference in me and you is that i form my opinions based over years of experience using products and evaluating them personally in my own garage. Not what some dipshit like you thinks is cool on a forum. My 240 dyno'd over 400hp and ran low 11s. I've done 160+ mph on an XXR wheel. There's nothing wrong with XXR wheels.

The only reason not to buy an XXR wheel, is if you do not like the way they look. XXR is a company that replicates the design of more popular wheels, the same way as other "high end" wheel brands also do. CCW..... replica company. The manufacturing method and structural integrity is the same.

That's all junior. move along now.

Even though i despise fiberglass, i wouldnt appose the use of it on a show car. On a drift car..... you know it's a probable certainty that the part you are using is not durable enough to withstand the abuse. Using a real part in this application simply makes logical sense. A polyurethane bumper can twist, shake and absorb light impact without cracking or being destroyed. Most fiberglass parts crack before or during installation.

Most of you kids dont make enough power to break a wagon wheel, but you're always talking about "fake wheels". If one of you breaks an XXR wheel, it will be because you slid into a curb. Also..... the car im talking about, also has XXR wheels...... and drifts on them without incident. So.... clearly theyre up to task.... though his bumper is not.

What "modifying" have i really done? I know you kids on this forum think changing wheels and putting a sticker on your door is "building a car".....

But lets take a look at this Lancer. I changed the wheels, changed from 1 OEM wing to another OEM wing, replaced old damaged headlights and added color matched eyelids. Everything i did to this car can be removed in an hour and i have all of the original parts if there so happens to be some standard model lancer enthusiast in the world who wants to reserve the value of an unmodified standard model lancer. Outside of the wing, an old lady probably wouldnt notice the difference in this lancer to the next, other than it looking better for some reason. Also, the car is bright ass red, kind of sets the tone for the personality of the potential buyer. You're reaching........... and doing a poor job of it. The wheels.... theyre not "omg i had to have them wheels" i paid $200 for them. They were displays that i was offered at a discount, they were the correct fitment, so i took them. Also, the only mentioning of this Lancer you've ever heard from me are in the for sale section. This is no vehicle i'm out there bragging about or expecting compliments on.

Ok you are right you win this thread

I don't think SF was using replica parts themselves as his focal point. I saw him attacking the fitting issue that replica parts commonly have. He seemed to be talking about how the replica part doesn't fit so why get it.

It's silly to me when people talk about "fake" wheels as if they weren't real. Fake wheels are wheels made out of maybe cardboard to show what styles are out there. Fake wheels are wheels that can NOT be mounted on a hub and used for the purpose a wheel is made for. Rota is not a fake wheel. It is a real wheel that can actually have a tire mounted on it and can be mounted on a car and used. It's just a gross misuse of the word similar in nature to the word "hate" and how it is consistently misused.

I said replica which they are, and even so what is the point to having a better quality bumper on something that gets taken off regularly. Its stupid, noone questioned his wheel choices. , this place is full of so many hypocrites it just makes it a pain in the ass to even post sometimes.

What this place is full of is morons like yourself.

I dont particularly care what brand it is or if it a replica or not, that is not the base of my argument. The bumper doesnt fit....... its not even close to having correct fitment. The owner of the car even said his dad has 20 years of body work experience and cant get it to fit.

I dont care if a walmart sweatshop made it or chip foose hand crafted it... if its junk its junk. You think XXRs are "fake" wheels because you're a moron. Simple as that, no other excuse you can make for yourself. Unlike that misfitting bumper, XXRs bolt to your car just fine and suit their purpose.

The main difference in "authentic" wheels vs XXRs is that XXR doesnt cater to your individual needs. XXR makes 2-3 multilug patterns and offers only a couple different bores.If they dont make your fitment, then youre shit out of luck. I understand if you dont want multi lug or if you do not want to use a hub ring... those are legitimate complaints about XXR wheels..... but theyre made with the same quality as many other expensive wheels. Rays engineering makes high end premium wheels for race cars, but they also use the same method as XXR for their street car wheels.

You're arguing brand value and calling a product fake..... im clearly pointing out a problem with a product that is painfully obvious.

Like i said, my opinion is forged from experience, youre just a jackass repeating what you heard or what you think is cool.

[dvpjdm]

Drift cars frustrate me more than anything on wheels...........

if i had to think of a way to describe my frustration it would be something like this. A drift car is like a girl who looks like a supermodel, but decides to shave her head and wear overalls just for the fuck of it, just to reject normality.

I look at all of these cars, the camo one specifically... and certain aspects of it are amazing.... they really show that the car is extremely well built and great attention to detail was shown.... but the car as a whole... all of them.... look like complete ass.

Why is it acceptable for drift cars to look so fucked up?????? there's no way you can have this much automotive skill and ability and not be able to make your bumper fit correctly..... i dont get it....


To the OP, pictures are great.

The front bumper is tilted back. lol You're right. I noticed that as soon as i looked at it, the body work has serious gaps in both cars.

How about this since you want to take that route and resort to name calling, we can have a personal conversation and discuss this, whenever you attend anything. I dont call you out of your name so please dont do that to me sir, I am a grown ass man, and I seriously have a problem with being called anything but my screen name or Joseph. So unless you want this to escalate to another level I would suggest you save the fuck shit for another member sir, I dont play that tough guy shit on IA.

And the words FAKE never came from me,THEY ARE MOTHERFUCKING REPLICAS, why are you so sensitive about it, no one said anything about your precious wheels, they are what they are. You can save all that for someone who cares, i can give two shits about what anyone puts on their car its not mine. as long as you like it who cares. but...THEY ARE REPLICAS, JUST LIKE THE BUMPERS

You say dont call you names and continue to have a civil debate......

I guess hypocrite isnt name calling eh?....

Also, youre the person who took the conversation off topic and insulted me personally. I have an issue with gaps in body work, since you cant defend the gaps in the body work, you decided to look for a way to insult me. You called me a hypocrite for having rep wheels and insulting rep body panels. I dont care about something being rep, what i do care about is quality. Being a rep doesnt change the quality, that is a misconception of the ignorant. I'm not sensitive, i'm simply stating my case and easily debunking everything you have to say. Even though to you it seems like i'm going through some kind of great effort to argue with you..... i'm not. It's pretty easy to counter your dumb ass posts.

Also, i could give a fuck less about your threats.... im not hiding from anyone. If you want to approach me in public, do it at your own risk. In the mean time, fuck you, fuck your mother, fuck your dog. This aint a church picnic, if you cant handle someone else's opinions then get the fuck off the internet.

you should use fiberglass parts that wont stand up to a fat girl leaning up against your vehicle......

stock used body parts would be cheaper than modified fiberglass parts, especially when you factor in shipping costs vs finding them at junk yards. Not to mention the stock body panels would be more durable than fiberglass.....

Maybe...... you drifting kids do care about looks...... you just say you dont as a defense mechanism since you're sensitive about everyone thinking youre a bunch of fags..... you know, like that guy at the bar who hits on a girl and then says shes ugly after she rejects him?

I'm aware that my bumper doesn't fit well. That is one of the things that piss me off about my car. My dad did bodywork for 30 years and I promise you we cut, sanded and grinder the bumper to try to get a proper fit. It is also designed to come off easily. If that's all you find wrong with my car, thats great. There are so many other things I would love to do better on it.
With that being said, I really appreciate all of the love and criticism on the cars. We tried to build these things the right way and not cut corners like most "drift cars."

[E36slide]

Buy the real thing and it'll fit right man. Having those fenders and that lip is not worth having the gaps in the body work. The money you save from buying replica vs OEM, you will spend in the long run with excessive body work and repairs. Plus, if youre into drifting.... a urethane bumper isnt going to explode if you hit a cone.


but... maybe it's just me. I'm anal about body work, those gaps are like nails on a chalk board to me. Real parts make a world of difference in the execution. Buy nice, not twice.

You're an idiot buying oem parts for a drift car is stupid. It would just get destroyed. He did it the right way.

I think he's hater simply because he doesn't like drifting so he doesn't really get the point of the replica "none Fitment" panels. To be honest when I slide I slide with no bumper at all just one less thing to replace. You could go oem route but crash bars would be a must.

Both cars are awesome. I would have loved to feature either one of them. I'm just not sure why we are all acting surprised at less-than-perfect bodywork on cars like this.

I don't think he is a "hater" at all seeing as how the word "hater" is being misused.

I too dislike drifting. I've never liked it. I've always seen it as a pointless "sport." I dislike 240s not because they are primarily dressed up to look like drift cars, but just because they don't look good to me unless in clean, lightly modded fashion. But just because it's not my thing, doesn't mean I should go around bashing folks that do like it. So I don't. Just like some people don't like my car. I'm cool with that.

When you're wrong you like to throw out cheap insults. Truth is I just started drifting but don't partake in any so call white trash group you speak of. So if a few kids slide their cars for fun and start fads their white trash idiots? Or are they just kids trying to have fun doing something they like? You're a joke. You try to belittle people with your off the wall opinion. Not everyone will agree with you so get use to it dude. Oh so you have owned 5 240's? Tell me about how Japan calls you for advice when building a car. I've had 7 so does that make me the holy grail of the 240 gods ? Like I said your opinion is bias. On this situation it's best to run reps and save the oem stuff for being destroyed. Just like if you had ccws and then had a pair of xxrs reps that look like ccws which one would you take to the track ? 2k rims or 600 hundred dollar rims ? The rep panels maybe weaker but will break just the same and to be honest can be repaired a lot easier then the oem bumper. Fiberglass can be molded and fixed. I've seen people destroy a rep into piece and with a little bit of bondo it was back to normal. Could you do that with oem ? Nope.

What is the point? You dont have to sell me on drifting.

Why? because next year i'll be 30 years old.

If you dont like my opinion, ignore it and move on. I dont want to like people like you, youre wasting your time.

You can repair poly the same as you can fiberglass. Poly is 10x stronger and less likely to be damaged than fiberglass. used OEM panels are cheaper than the fiberglass parts youre using. Your cars are tacky because you want them to look tacky. It's not an accident. You guys keep insulting me for doing things the right way and making excuses for your style choices.

I dont like misfitting body panels. The car has misfitting body panels. That simple. I'm not lying... im not slandering his good name, im not making things up. I am pointing out a flaw that clearly exists in this vehicle.

You don't even know me dude. You ant throw around the term "you people." I don't associate with most of the people you're describing and the people I do associate with that slide are very mature. 30? Dude half the pro am drivers are that age or older take Howard for example. So he's a tacky 240 driving fag to? Or Sammy tiger ? Someone has been watching to many fast five movies. Not everyone does tacky things to their 240 most who do are 17-18 years old. Kids trying to have fun and be different. If being different means I'm a fag then ok so be it. You're wrong oem is not cheaper. A Silvia front end runs 1200-1500 where a rep can be 500-800 giving the brand. I only agree with you if they're sliding with a pig nose or shark nose bumper but true "jdm" parts are more expensive so it's best to go rep. I have zero zip ties I. Any of my body panels nor would I ever use them. People use them for the ability to remove panels quickly at events. It serves a purpose. I do agree with talking shit about wanna be drifters who use zip ties for looks. My car is a product of my personality if you don't like it blow me. If I wanted my car to look boring ill give you a ring old man. Pretty much every Silvia front coupe looks identical to yours (boring). No style no flare. You like to be boring that's cool but don't call people who like to do things out of the ordinary fags just because you don't agree with it.

Eventually one day your shitty attitude and your know everything personality will bite you on your ass. It's easy to talk shit on thee interwebz. All your doing is creating enemies. You bitch and cry and force your opinion even when it's not needed. We all knew these were drift cars so we all understand the body panels probably won't match up. None of us needed to here you botch about it.

Majority of the time, fiberglass bumpers are lighter than stock bumpers.

drifting is not a race. You're figure skating in your car.

[E36slide]

that would depend.

No fiberglass is alway lighter then oem parts. Have you ever lifted a oem 240 rear bumper then lifted a origin aftermarket bumper ? It's about 15 pounds different maybe more. Hence why most people go with fiberglass aftermarket body panels.

[VQ35 Star]

like i said, depends. some fiberglass bumpers are known to be heavier.

[VQ35 Star]

depending on the amount of resin used by manufacturers. Origin being a well known company has there techniques down.

drifting is not a race. You're figure skating in your car.

Yet figure skating is one of the hardest sports known to man.

You just passionately argued with me and at the same time you agreed with everything ive said.

Arguing just to argue because you guys think im an asshole, that pretty much sums it up.

No. I agreed with the hard parking wanna be drifting kids buying rep bumpers and zip ties not these two cars in particular which see a track almost every day. Any way you type it rep bumpers are better for pro am and pro drift cars simple and plain. No one runs oem and if they do they have the money to spend.

[VQ35 Star]

but...zipties hold what bolts cant!

[d-man478]

OH MY GOD. YALL ARE STILL ARGUING OVER MY BUMPER. Get a fucking life. It doesn't fit. I love to figure skate my cheap, white trash, mint green, horribly fit, retarded looking car. Get over it.

And I like to do burnouts and my bumper still doesn't fit.
