Real builds
No fake deadlines. No pretending every idea works.

BUILD IT.
DRIVE IT.
SHARE IT.
Real cars, garage problems, questionable decisions—and one retired show goat who insists he runs the place.

01 · The whole point
WE BUILD THE CARS
WE WANT TO DRIVE.
GSM is a grassroots motorsports channel built around the work between the idea and the first clean lap. Track cars, drift cars, street builds, classics, trucks and off-road projects all belong here.
We show the wins, the wrong turns, the broken parts, and what it takes to put it all back together.
Real driving
Track days, road tests, drift events and dirt under the tires.
Real community
For people who would rather help in the paddock than pose in the parking lot.

MEET
MANAGEMENT.
Gibs is a five-year-old retired show Boer goat and the only member of management willing to eat the landscaping. Chris handles the driving, wrenching, filming and invoices. Gibs approves the spending and takes credit when it works.
“Every race team has a manager. Ours eats the landscaping.”

EVERYTHING WITH
A STORY TO TELL.
GSM is about what we have built, what we have driven, and what we learned along the way.
Track & HPDE
Learning, setup changes, mistakes and the next clean lap.
Street & classics
Old metal, new ideas and cars meant to be used.
Trucks & off-road
Tow rigs, trail rigs and our OKIO roots.
Drift
Cars built to move sideways and the events around them.
Garage & community
The work, the people, and whatever breaks next.

FORMER GSM RIG.
BUILT TO CRAWL.
The Jeep has been sold, but it remains part of the GSM story: a 65,000-mile JKU that could handle serious trail work and still make the drive home.

05 · Current project
THE E46:
START. SORT. DRIVE.
No finished-car reveal yet. First, show how the 2004 BMW 330i ZHP arrived. Then document the work. The final direction comes after real seat time.
SORTING THE BASICS.
- Corrected coilover preload to 5 mm
- Set ride height and dampers to 16 of 32
- Installed Corbeau FX1 Wide driver seat
- Moved Sparco Circuit II to passenger side
- Added passenger low-mount hardware
- Worked through the first-drive coolant hose and O-ring failure
Next: track testing, reliability and alignment refinement.
06 · Custom vehicle concept & planning
YOUR BUILD.
ONE CLEAR PLAN.
Have the car in your head but not on paper? A GSM Build Board turns the car you own, the direction you see, and the details that matter into one polished visual roadmap.
- Your actual car as the starting point
- Multiple views of the finished direction
- Paint, stripe, wheel and stance concepts
- Current equipment and planned changes
- High-resolution PDF or shareable image
Creative concept and enthusiast planning only—not engineering approval, mechanical inspection, or guaranteed parts fitment.
