no..its perfect size....seriously though its exactly what we were looking for and we are hoping to get the weight down to about 3k..if not guess we will just have to make more power...

ozthunder · 10-17-2007, 04:39 PM

lol..true that. Links?

Vince@R/TTuning · 10-17-2007, 04:42 PM

see if i can get shawn on some pics...

ozthunder · 10-17-2007, 04:42 PM

And no, that's an Aristo, not a Soarer.

evomike · 10-17-2007, 04:57 PM

long wheel base equals super hard to spin

S.Milone · 10-17-2007, 05:47 PM

This is what we are starting with

Serious cage, 1uzfe all aluminum quad cam V8, coilovers with external reseviors just to name a few cool points.

ozthunder · 10-17-2007, 05:56 PM

You had one helluva starting point!

Pretty cool!

This reminds me of Honda Tuning converting an Elemnet to a RWD setup for drifting, gutting it, painting it orange, and building a sick cage for it.

Not that an Element resemble the Lexus, but more so that its an unconventional car for drifting and there both orange.

S.Milone · 10-17-2007, 06:41 PM

It was a Grand Am cup car. Same company who ran the Is300s

ozthunder · 10-17-2007, 06:42 PM

So wait..how much does it weigh now? B/c I was presuming stock weight lol

S.Milone · 10-17-2007, 06:43 PM

Also in Japan Large four door Cars are used often as drift cars so it isn't that odd.

ozthunder · 10-17-2007, 06:43 PM

I never question the Japanese lol

S.Milone · 10-17-2007, 06:47 PM

We do not know actual weight at this time since it isn't in our possession. But we were told it was under 3000. Curb weight factory everything is 3600. We corner weighted an Evo recently and it was almost 3600 LBs so I think we are in good shape.

S.Milone · 10-17-2007, 07:08 PM

Four doors aren't unheard of. HKS Demos this one.

Friends Racing D1 car with full interior.

Moral of the story is the cars drift well and they have been done. We know they are good. We are just using the 1uzfe instead of the 2jz.

evomike · 10-17-2007, 07:15 PM

I never wanted to drive the 13 but I wanna drive this let me know when you guys have it in the shop I wanna check it out

ScubaSteve · 10-17-2007, 07:23 PM

So when is it getting put to good use?

Vince@R/TTuning · 10-17-2007, 08:14 PM

we have all winter to get it ready for next year....

evomike · 10-17-2007, 08:26 PM

I wouldn't ruin that ting by making it a drift car but that's me

Vince@R/TTuning · 10-17-2007, 08:35 PM

^^^yea i know..its more of a drift demo car but we wanna road race the **** out of it..and plaster R/T Tuning all of the side and anyone elses name who wants to give us money to have there name on it

PaleDSM · 10-17-2007, 09:59 PM
