The beginning of serialnine
In the early 2000s, Gerard De Peralta set the foundation for what would become a pivotal force in North American sedan drifting—SERIALNINE. Inspired by a passion for older Japanese sedans and a vision to blend performance with style, Gerard started SERIALNINE in his garage. It wasn't long before Kevin, whose dedication and innovative mindset matched Gerard's, joined the journey, propelling SERIALNINE to new heights. Together, they focused on developing high-quality, precision-engineered suspension and body modifications. Over the years, SERIALNINE has not only redefined sedan performance but has also fostered a strong community of enthusiasts. Through their leadership, SERIALNINE has significantly impacted the drifting scene, inspiring a generation to push the boundaries of what's possible with their vehicles.
