JLine SDMSL2 18×9.5 -10 / Rear 18×9.Keep an eye out for the rest of the Kindred Impulse crew. Rocket Bunny & Supermade bodykit 2 Front Bumpers (Supermade shown & Rocket Bunny) – Peak Performance RUCA (Rear Upper Camber Arms) – Peak Performance Pillow Upper Link (Traction Bar – Rear) – Greddy E-01 Boost Controller w/2 extra Wiring inputs – SARD Fuel Pressure Regulator with Braided Lines and Fittings – Built by Performance Options / Oakland & assembled at DGR And after my experience behind the wheel I loved it even more. I love this car for the fact that its a seemingly perfect marriage of performance and looks. Notice the hole that was cut at bottom section of the door panel so that the door can close properly with the cage’s door bars. The heavy OEM door panels were replaced by a much cooler looking carbon fiber one. The interior has the usual dedicated drift car treatment: a completely gutted interior, Bride Vios III Lomax bucket seats, Takata harness, Keys Racing steering wheel, and of course, a pink JDM bubble shifter. Mark also sourced out a Peak Performance 5 Lug conversion kit. That sort of fitment is, in my opinion, a good balance between looks and performance. The wheels fit perfectly with their front size and offset of 18×9.5 -10 and 18×9.5 -35 in the rear. I like the placement of the RodZilla Sticker. The suspension also features Peak Performance inner and outer tie rods, a Peak Performance pillow upper link for the rear traction bar, Peak Performance rear upper camber arms and a Peak Performance Tension rod. There’s little body roll, and the rear squats just enough. Having had the opportunity to drive this car, I can tell you on personal experience that Mark has set up his HKS Hipermax D coil overs perfectly for drifting. Mark wanted a car that produces enough horse power for fun, but also wanted it bulletproofed. You’re probably wondering about the S14’s overall animal print at this point, it’s Mark homage to his sneaker roots –Nike to be exact. The Porsche 911 GT3 White paint job looks great The Supermade front bumper is currently the one shown in these photos. A Rockey Bunny kit flows all the way around, but he has two front bumpers just in case he decides to switch things around. When it came to the selection of the body kit, Mark chose both Rocket Bunny & Supermade. The motor, an S15 block with an S14 head, was built by the guys at Performance Options & assembled at DGR Fabrication and features a block bored to 86.5mm. More than enough power to have fun drifting. This S14 features a fully built SR20 producing around 450 horses. But we’re not here to talk about Mark, or how I loved driving it. ![]() That’s all thanks to Mark’s years of experience building his own car and going out to drive it. ![]() There was more than enough power to have fun with and how the car was going to react was very predictable. When Mark gave me the opportunity to drive this car to learn the basics of drifting, I was expecting the car to be this untamed beast which will take hours to get used to. But of all the different variations, its current state is my favorite. The Fatlace S14 has seen a lot of different looks over the years.
