In this exhilarating video, Larry Chen, the man with a penchant for pushing the boundaries of automotive awesomeness, unveils his latest surprise project. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, because he's brought back his old car, the one he sold way back in 2004. And let me tell you, this is no ordinary car. This is a machine that holds a special place in Larry's heart, a car that has seen its fair share of trouble and triumphs. It's a car that symbolizes the essence of his drifting journey.

Now, you might be wondering how Larry managed to reclaim this automotive gem after all these years. Well, it's a tale of perseverance and a bit of luck. You see, the car went through several owners before landing in the hands of a man named Stepan, who painstakingly restored it to its former glory. And when Larry expressed his desire to bring the car back into the drifting scene, Stepan, being the kind-hearted soul that he is, agreed to sell it back to Larry. Talk about a stroke of luck!

But let's not forget about the heart and soul of this machine - the engine. Larry's car boasts a quad-rotor rotary engine, a true testament to the power and performance that lies within. And with the addition of nitrous, this beast is ready to unleash its full potential on the track. The car has undergone extensive modifications, with a focus on enhancing its drift capabilities. From the suspension setup to the transmission, no stone has been left unturned in the pursuit of automotive perfection.

And what about the aesthetics? Well, Larry has kept the body of the car true to its original form, with only minor modifications to enhance its performance. The classic steel factory 12A nose remains intact, a testament to the car's heritage. And let's not forget about those stunning wheels, custom-made by the talented folks at Rotiform. These wheels not only add a touch of style but also provide the necessary grip for Larry to conquer the drift circuit.

In conclusion, Larry Chen's resurrection of his old car is a testament to his unwavering passion for the sport of drifting. This project is not just about chasing podium finishes or setting records. It's about the sheer joy and entertainment that comes from pushing a machine to its limits. Larry's decision to compete in a professional drift series with this car may raise a few eyebrows, but it's a statement of his commitment to doing things differently and proving that age and appearances mean nothing when it comes to true automotive greatness. So buckle up, folks, because Larry Chen is about to take us on a wild ride like no other.
