Here at Everything Drift we love unique builds. We like to see someone, tell somebody that they can’t do something, and that person turns around and proves them wrong. In Our Eyes It Is Called Inspiration and Drive. Here is a build inspired by our good friend Ernie Gonzalez of his personal drift car. Ernie, a big supporter of the drift community, and of unique builds with thinking outside the box in this one. He is an amazing person who inspires people to do something different and to achieve their dreams.
When I first saw this build taking place, I could not wait for it to get done. A Q45 was a car that not many people have built into a drift car. Seeing what Ernie has done to this car has been a long road and a exciting build to follow. He has encountered many difficult challenges with this build and found every perfect way around it to make this car completely unique in every single way. Here is his inspiration in building this car and our inspiration on encouraging fellow drifters to think outside the box and never except an answer of “it can’t be done” or other people telling you not to do it. Pick up a build, stick to it and encourage yourself to push forward and build a car, something unique in your own way, which in the long run will turn heads and break necks like this beautiful drift machine Q45.


The tension couldn’t have been any higher at Irwindale Speedway when Formula Drift came to town for a gripping season finale. Things are still settling in my mind, and like any die-hard fan that was there over the weekend, the memories I took away will stay with me for a lifetime.
