The Holden VY Commodore that Daniel uses to drift has been built after 3 years of him wanting to drift in a Holden. Originally 'Fanga' wanted to use a supercharged V8 engine but instead decided to use a Nissan RB26DETT that retains the standard engine with a single turbocharger conversion. This with an aftermarket ecu helps to make 350kW at the wheels. The majority of modifications have been made to the suspension, drivetrain and bodywork.
