The pictures I’m about to show you were grabbed in a little over an hour before getting on a flight out of Chicago.The primary reason for being there was to shoot Richard Fisher’s S14 Nissan 240, LS equipped machine that oozes presence.
There’s been a full feature on Fish’s Rocket Bunny kitted BRZ in the past, but since then this garage full of interest has sat dormant in the archives.
Fish has an enviable stack of cars and virtually every one of them runs on air. Like many of the Risky Devil guys, he’s a firm convert to the air suspension way of doing things.
It aligns perfectly with the Risky Devil style: attention grabbing in a subtle way as opposed to using something like wild graphics.
Fish had them built up to his specs and now they measure 18×10inch at the front and 19×11inch in the rear. But for me, it’s the hilarious -49 and -58 offsets they feature which makes them work so well. You’d more normally find this design of wheel on a VIP machine.
The SR got swapped out a while back and you’ll find a familiar Chevrolet power plant in there now. “The reason I did an LS2 swap into the car is simple: power and reliability with ease,” Fish says. “I don’t care what anyone says – a nearly stock LS is as bulletproof as can be.”
The project has become his campfire, the one that centres the collection. Fish sums it up best: “That car has taught me all I know about drifting and the culture behind it. It will always stay with me, no matter what condition.”
As for drifting on air suspension, it works it really does. If you have any doubts, then you need to educate yourself on the subject. Take a look at this short video from a grassroots bash!
