SNAPSHOT: Nissan 180sx Drift car

Adam O'Connor snapped this shot of a stunning Nissan 180sx RPS13 drift car at last month's Irish Drift Championship at Driftland. With a full cage, aggressive aero package, coilovers wound low and wide rims this 180sx looks ready for action. The bright paintwork and vinyls are an awesome callback to the Japanese drift cars of the early 2000's.
