KEN GUSHI + RS*R Scion tC (Press Release)

[olddrifter]

Not a every day swap, but not that difficult if you can get factory parts. Since in Japan and Europe AWD is common option on US FWD cars...and if they share a platform "like" the Scion is acceptiable with FD its not easy but not that hard eather....

Remember, Blake Fuller campaigned an Integra in the first year of Formula D... using the drivetrain from a CR-V

.....until it was deemed by FD an illegal set up/platform for the 05 season.

I hope you're right. That'd be pretty cool.

And Blake did not even flip the engine, like the TC, He just used the JDM AWD parts.
Looks like FD has changed the rule, but I have not seen the new one's not on web site yet....

Never did.

In motorsports you do what works and worry about looks later.

[Brian]

That's fine.....





but this is drifting.

Ha....ha.....ha.... =P

Anyway...if this car does what its supposed to do then that's all that matters.

just wait til you see Tuerck in his Solstice, and D.Mac in his Sky!! I think that will change some people's minds....

I think that Millen's problems with the solstice weren't because of the short wheelbase. I've heard that Tuerck's car is shredding it up, and it's a very very basic setup, not fully modified and custom like Millen's...

ryan was putting down some good runs yesterday. car even has the oem turbo

You make it sound like the oem turbo is some amazing thing. I thought the GReddy turbocharger was better than the oem so why is it such a big deal?

[Brian]

He is saying that it was very impressive even though it only had the normal turbine.

Not if you drive a Topaz obviously

Meaning: "Play it safe...Drive a Topaz! It's not like everybody and their mom doesn't have one!!"

[Brian]

Yeah, that makes sense.
