Above is some pictures of our car of 2009 Formula Drift car.

Hi, I this is my first time, last year our car was built and I have never documented anything. I am here to help the drifting grow. And to really see what is involved to build a competitive car with the budget we have. Everyone thinks we are a full supported Drift Team, we are not!! We work really hard to do what we do and for all of you that work on your own car I will you the best luck in your project!!! anyway, here are some pics and info on the build of 2010. I always wanted to check out Ireland, hopefully one day!!! :)


Ross Petty Driver and Co-Owner of Garage BOSO is the pilot of this car. Just to let everyone know this car was fully built in our facility in 2009. Just to let you see what we do everyday at Garage BOSO. We will be posting up the restructuring of the car for the 2010 Formula Drift Season. We are starting a little late on the build but we will be ready. Yes, we will be running the same car from last year with many changes!!!!!!!!

New look, lighter chassis, more power...


We won best looking car of the year. (Formula Drift 2009)
We got Import Tuner Front Cover Issue (Dec. 2009).
In Formula Drift 2009 we got 13th place overall standings!

Last year was a little crazy, this year we are looking for a poduim!!!!!

Preparation, fabrication, tuning and painting all by Garage BOSO. Just a heads up. We are taking in Dyno tuning work now.. Need to raise money for parts!!!! We tune on Dynapacks.

Check out pictures below of the start of the project. We are really busy here at the shop, I will do my best to keep the build updates!!!!

Today is Saturday. Started a little late today, so much thing to prepare and setup. Less than 2 months for the first race, time is flying.. Anyway we had parts come in today for Okinawa Japan, Special thanks to Robby, Will, Eric in helping me find the Diff we needed for our racecar. I have the diff apart now, checking condition of all the parts and see what direction we need to go, so we have 3 different gear to use depending on track setup. I wish we had that super cool quick change but that shit cost hella lot, well anyway Thanks to all the Okinawa Friends for calling your guys and having you guys hit up all the junk yards. We really really apreiciate all your help.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for everyones responses!!! I will try to keep this updated all the time!!!


We are kinda stuck waiting for parts, and money. we are just finishing the body the best we can do until we get the doors, trunk and the missing rear over fender to finish off the body work. and the new paint cant wait!!!

I am still sourcing all the parts for the diffs, so i have spares and different gears for the different track layouts. Time is so short need to get the engines ready, so much more things........ Anyway, thanks for everyone checking out the BOSO build. And thanks to "Drift Ireland" for allowing me to post our shop build on your forums. Enjoy the pics!!

Thanks to all!!!!

We are so behind. Still waiting for the carbon doors, trunk and rear over fenders from japan before be can paint it. anyway here are some pictures of our progress, And just to make our life more crazy we are starting on the S14 Rotary and see if we get it running before round 1.

**anyway today is engine building day..I'll try to post what i can.. thanks for everyone checking BOSO out!!!!!!!


Setting backlash, expeially if you the S14 Diffs we modded with Skyline internals with 4.6 and 4.3 ring and pinion gears. (all i need is a 3.7 & 4.1 and my collection is complete)

Well at the moment we are stuck waiting for parts. I will be updating shortly...


I just wanted to share with you this picture, this was about 3 months after Frank Siharath (Me) and Ross Petty opened up Garage BOSO in Gardena in January 2007. This picture was the when we got to build our own Drift car to run in Formula Drift and be a part of Falken Tire.
http://i50.tinypic.com/1gjc7o.jpg


This picture below is at Irwindale when we did a Photo Shoot for all the Falken Drift cars and Team. This picture was taken in 2007. That year we tuned and supported 5 of the cars in Falken. We are still the only Shop that still Fabricates, builds engines, painting and Dyno Tuning everything inhouse. (We use Dynapack Dynos for Tuning only)
Also in the picture you can see Darren M. AE86 in the middle.
