The humanity

TSLegendary · 04-10-2008, 01:59 AM

If Toyota would of made the TC RWD,We would have probably seen a bunch of small affordable rwd coupes in the market just boom but, i guess Hundai might be the company making that first step.Maybe even revive the affordable rwd coupe market.It will be like living in the 90's all over again.(except for the over priced gas.)Maybe a RWD Scion in the future?

scribbles6 · 04-10-2008, 01:59 AM

interesting, i wonder how they're doing this (obviously hella money) since it's fwd.

oh well, sucks that gushi got stuck with that, they should have gave him something better.

slider2828 · 04-10-2008, 02:01 AM

Wow... that is completely one off. They turned the engine and mounted.... You can do it, if you have the money.

irax · 04-10-2008, 02:02 AM

According to this months Import Tuner the loop hole is rule 8.11.13 or something that allow cars designed for RWD or AWD from factory. According to them in japan theres an AWD TC. My issue is that the reason why RWD or AWD based cars is to make it more competitive for grass roots and privateers, because if they could just take a fwd car and put any ole' rwd engine in it at that point your really just making your own car and is really unfair to teams without deep pockets

Dousan_PG · 04-10-2008, 02:05 AM

iirc they modified the crossmember a shit ton
that was illegal i think
so when i was at FD tech it failed
who knows if it will drive at FD
ill let u know
ill be there

ultraman019 · 04-10-2008, 02:21 AM

It's unusual, but it's always nice to see something fresh.

raz0rbladez909 · 04-10-2008, 02:23 AM

DP-AE86 · 04-10-2008, 02:34 AM

I dont see any unfair advantage they would gain over the grassroots guys that the big money teams already running crazy setups based off RWD platforms dont already have.... Just look at Rhys's car, I really dont see how a converted FWD car would have any advantage that thing doesnt already... seems to me this is just another expensive way to be unique and its really not going to matter especialy in drift racing.

my 2cents

slider2828 · 04-10-2008, 02:39 AM

But you know what who cares... Drifting needs a big sponsor like toyota to be in it right now. FD is doing ok, but more sponsors means bigger events.

jinesz32 · 04-10-2008, 02:46 AM

people can drift fwd. looks pretty neat.

There's no denying the fact that they've essentially created their own car. That said, IMO it's not that big of a deal because they also have to develop the performance from scratch.

irax · 04-10-2008, 03:01 AM

then why don't they just leave the platform options open?

I think the car looks pretty cool. They r gonna. Have the same problem the hankook porshe has, and that is if they don't have a whole nother car in parts, when they break something, they're screwed

SlideAlliance · 04-10-2008, 11:50 AM

jspec240 · 04-10-2008, 11:52 AM
