Took a trip out to Langhorne , Pa with Owen and Brizzy for BlownEuroz. It was a great way to kick off the season. Good people, dope cars, and a good time. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Philly FDR Drift
RALLYDRIFT: FDR in the Winter from Drift Alliance on Vimeo.
Andy at Drift Alliance made this video of him drifting FDR park. He even goes into the skatepark under the bridge and fools around there. According to the KeepDriftingFun guys, the S13 he’s driving is stock on an open diff… even more impressive.
A year in reflection
As 2011 approaches quickly, I find myself reflecting on this past year. A lot has changed in the ShiftedFrame family, and a lot will continue to change. I know I have been absent from this blog roll, but that is because I have been focusing on illantic’s new apparel and tumblr page. As next year rounds the corner, illantic will be more involved here. I promise to bring more car shows, events, revealed cars, and info to this blog as the year progresses. I will also have more interviews with rising stars in the scene. It should be a very interesting and fun-filled year for the illantic gearheads.
I know I should probably do a recap but that’s boring. Soooooo
Where there’s smoke, there are tires. We plan on burnin up the net with the stuff we have planned.
Welcome 2011!
Jay Z, Buffett and Forbes on Success and Giving Back
Yeah, I know this is a blog about cars, but after a long conversation with one of our partners yesterday about drive and determination it got me thinking about this video. Warren Buffett and Jay-Z give some really interesting insight here on their success and how to make it in this world. Enjoy.

Day in the Dirt
I got invited to a Dirt Track event. Normally, I am not into these kinds of things, and I usually skip over them when it is on the speed channel. But after this experience I will probably take the time to watch and learn. We were at the Bridgeport Speedway, Bridgeport, NJ.
This 924 car fully sponsored by Thornton’s Gulf is driven by this man….
Steve Durand, a 5 time champion of the sportsman class. He is a very well known driver at the speedway and recently got back into the saddle after a bad wreck.
The 924 is powered by a 467 CID, 900hp V8 that is mated to a two speed transmission. First gear takes you up to 15 mph, and then second takes you up to 120mph+. Keep in mind that this thing only weighs around 2500lbs.
Thornton’s gulf has been involved in racing for about 10 years now.
The sound of perfection….
As you can tell I am obsessed with this work of art. The exhaust note is perfect.
