Kevin Darwish bought his first Nissan S14 240sx to have something to drive while he was rebuilding his show/track Honda Prelude. He only wanted to add aftermarket wheels and suspension but that didn't last long! He ended up rebuilding the 240sx from the ground up so he could compete in Canadian professional drifting. Unfortunately, a year later, Kevin put the 240sx into a wall at ICAR during the Full Throttle car show.
With the car being scrap, Kevin tore it apart, trashed the shell and started looking for a new one. Luckily, his mechanic, Ardo Vanlian (AVFAB), had bought a used S14 shell owned by their good friend, Formula D and DMCC driver, David Briggs, and decided to sell it to him rather than turning it into a street car.
It took Kevin and his mechanic 1 winter to put the car back together. Some of his parts from his old 240sx were used; other parts were purchased brand new. Since Kevin's mechanic, Ardo, was in the middle of building a street car with Briggs' old 240sx shell, he had the cage removed. Kevin decided that he wanted to compete in DMCC, so a new cage was custom fabricated and placed in the 240sx.
One thing led to another and Kevin finally competed at his first DMCC event in September 2012 at Autodrome St-Eustache in Quebec!
Next year, Kevin aims for a podium position at any of the drifing events
