ADWITYA "THE BABY" AMANDIO

back in july the 29th, a drifting competition is held during Indonesian International Motor Show (IIMS) in Pekan Raya Jakarta, kemayoran. this competition called DRIFT WAR is held by Achilles and GT Radial drift team. both of the team send their best drifter to engage in this competition.and  from Achilles drift team, this is DRIFT KING Emmanuel Adwitya Amandio with his nissan Silvia S15.

 the most important thing that effect the car's performance is their engine. underneath the hood, we can see a SR20DET engine porting and polished which increase it's capacity from 2.0 into 2.2 liters. with an upgraded cam, air filter, header, turbo and intercooler this car produce 70 more horsepower then it's original which turns it into a 320 horsepower monster. a custom strut bar and chambered front wheel is applied in order to increase it's grip that is very useful to maintain the car's stability from that huge amount of a power.
on the next day, back in the paddock when everybody was busy preparing their vehicles for the final battle, some representatives from -PREVIOUS- come to support Amandio and his team.we went visiting his crew and fellow drifters  Hermawan "the Ice Man". they both shows a great responses to our visit by giving one of us a team t-shirt and a change to record the whole competition from the track side.
