VISION PERFORMANCE Formula Drift 2014 Build
 
Hello everyone,

Not sure if this is something you all are interested in but we are building an FRS to compete in the 2014 Formula Drift series. Here are just a few pics from where we are at. If you like I can keep you all posted as we move forward. Also most all factory parts on the car are up for grabs. Let me know if you need anything.

Sincerely,
JoeDrifter

He's either the battery or the fuse box :) or even a single turbo upgrade :lol:

It's a 2JZ swap with nos... That's why he's wearing a bottle top and valve for a hat. :lol:

JoeDrifter 12-27-2013 11:44 PM

Well guys, I must admit the 2J is not for this FRS build. I must come clean. It has always been our intent to go LS Supercharged. We are working on sponsorships currently for and will have an official announcement here shortly. Once we determine the exact LS setup you all will be the first to know!

Thanks
Joe Drifter

BURN HIM AT THE STAKES!

industrial 12-28-2013 10:03 AM

Supercharged LS because a regular LS wouldn't get the ass end moving? :lol: Can't wait to see this.

LBC Por Siempre 12-28-2013 10:31 AM

So you're stroking it with forded induction and some Funny Sauce too? Shooting for 500-600bhp?

Titanium with H Beam forged pistons arms?

JoeDrifter 01-01-2014 11:05 PM

LBC - We are currently considering two motors. The factory LS9 which has the titanium rods and all the goodies. We are also looking at the Edlebrock Supercharged crate motor. We will see in the coming weeks which one will pan out. The goal is about 700whp. We also have just launched the VISION Performance website @ visionperf.com and are linking it back to this build thread! It's a work in progress but as you can see we are getting the ball rolling on many levels. Below you will see the awesome cage work recently done by Cutworm Specialties Inc. They busted the cage out in no time at all. Check out the cool things they do at cutwormspecialties.com! They had a car at SEMA this year. Completely hand built. They do really great work and it's an honor for them to be able to contribute to this build! Should we just clear the cage?

The Vision Performance cage going in. It kinda sets the tone for the whole build. Door bars almost in! Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to give more details on the motor setup! Busy busy!

Cage is coming together nicely. By seeing the tacked up bars, fitment of the joints seems good as well. Nicely done.

JoeDrifter 01-11-2014 07:57 PM

The 2j was just a curve ball guys. It's going to be LS Supercharged. Should have actual motor announcement shortly.

3 gears?

JoeDrifter 01-18-2014 10:51 AM

4 Speed dog box. The top panel comes off and allows you to swap out gearing at the track without pulling the transmission.

And what did you do in a past life to deserve such good fortune? Way pro design and build execution. Wished I lived closer to your shop. All the best for a safe and victorious 2014 season.

JoeDrifter 01-25-2014 02:07 AM

Here again with www.cutwormspecialties.com getting the new gussetts installed.
