Tyler Cox Memorial Build thread, SR20 2.34 monster tube machine

Late in 2012 a friend of mine passed away. In an effort to keep his memory alive I wanted to share his new car build he was working on with people from around our drift and 240sx community. Many of you probably had a chance to meet him in person, most of you didn't. I am writing this little intro post them I am going to straight copy paste out of the original thread I am posting in to make this easier on myself.

Tyler never had a build thread for himself anywhere that I can think of, even though his car was FAR beyond the average builds of the time period. When we were going built LS1 in my drift car back in 2006 or 2007, he was making more TQ and HP than my built V8 out of a 2 liter, and managing to drift it! When Falken Drift Showoff came to town, he made more smoke than any of their cars! When normal kids were posting about getting their first set of xxrs and going to their first local event, this lucky kid was getting to tandem with his JDM heros like Daigo Saito and Ken Nomura in the D1GP USA series. He was ricing the streets of Atlanta in his drift car and then going to Nopi Nationals Drift comp and doing their whole series. I got the opportunity to travel most of the nation with the kid.





Mind you those pics were taken back in 2009 or so, that car was mind blowing back then! It is mind blowing now! And so I give you Tyler Cox. The man the myth the legend. The drifter that everyone classified as the Texas oil kid, and the legend of the boy who burned off more tires than anyone else his age.
