I liked the old livery more. At least he's driving an FR-S at the end of the day.

Graphics make it look kinda lame. I haven't seen a rocketbunny car that looks so boring... I can only assume it's the graphics

agreed, something about the graphics and design makes it look off :iono:

Looks like an R/C car paint job.

Our rc cars look better than that.

I don't doubt that art all. Hell I've done some that are better than that. But I was talking more about the visual style of it: the multiple colors, the fades, etc.

Looks like Planet Earth car

Planet Earth, or Captain Planet?

HEY! Don't judge by the looks, but judge by their hearts!
And I know this is one bad bitch inside :thumbup:



But GODDAMM, she is a ugly one tho! :lol:

To me it looks like the wheels are just to small and I think that's why it looks off.. It's the first thing I noticed.. Something is off and my eyes keep drifting to how the wheels look.. Which sucks because those are the wheels I decided on.. But 18" 8.5 all around..

I think we are just used to seeing rocket bunnies sitting low on aggressive rims and stuff and this one just looks more functional then form

Its definitely the vinyl. 2012 Formula D Ken's Car.

it looks like hes still running 17/18 stagger... which doesnt work at this height.
looked better with old aero on it.... looks like a monster truck now.

Looks good!!! Go Ken!!

Added several high quality photos to the OP. Sample:

@Gixxersixxerman, the wheels are definitely not fitted to the flared Rocket Bunny fenders.

It looks worse than it did the first season.

TRA wide body but has 2" wheel gap... Graphics are ugly as are the ones on nearly every Formula D car. Just wait until somebody uses a rocket bunny 86 in D1SL. Guarantee it will look sick as hell. Even Orido's looks dope.

Gonna suck replacing rocket bunny parts when Gushi crashes again this season

Why would it suck? We have spares. Ready to go on anytime. Hahaha

If you're referring to how it goes on, it's just screws. Easy as hell.

Are you the real Ken Gushi? :eyebulge:

Ya know, Ken *is* short for Kenshiro. Celebrity appearance on ft86club, NINJA-style. NOICE :clap:

Well just wanna add that I LOVE the new livery. And if Knshro13 really is Ken then that's pretty fucking awesome! :)

I know. I've ran overs before. Was mainly referring to price but then again, I'm sure the budget for this car is much different than most others seeing how it's not a privateer build

That and the TRA Kyoto x GReddy Rocket Bunny name implies a joint production with GReddy. And @Knshro13 is piloting the official GReddy Drift FR-S so, yeah, GReddy has to pay GReddy each time they replace a fender. :bellyroll:

Adding one more (and my favorite) shot:

@Knshro13

If you are the real Ken Goochi, goodluck this week in Round 1. Let us know how it goes and fill us in on how the Scion FRS Earth Dream car does. :)

Pretty sure he's the real deal. I've chatted with/follow the Goosh on social media plus he went live on Reddit last week I think. He's :w00t: really just like any of us... really lol.

If any of us happen to stumble upon livestreams of his drift events, please start one of these threads again. People who may be interested might forget or be totally unaware; it's good to keep our community in the loop. :thumbsup:

P.S. I believe the 86 will have crazy representation this year. I forget the names but I saw a youtube vid of a guy who started alone pull together sponsors from scratch to help build his 86 drift machine. And Daigo Saito might be in a V8 BRZ IIRC.

Nah Daigo will still be using his sc430. Achilles Radial recently held a fb contest to design his 2013 livery so it's a safe bet he's still sticking with his Lexus this year.

Toshiki Yoshioka and Tony Angelo are using the 86 this year and I recall seeing another team post their formula d build on this forum. It will be a fun season to watch for sure. Good luck out there Gush :thumbsup:

Fredric Aasbo will be using a GT86 too I believe. Definitely interested to see how the 86ers will hold up against those bigger LS1s.

A lot of new contenders this year with no v8s. Quite a few high powered JZ and RB powered cars competing this year.

My bet is on JTP or Millen for the championship this year. I'm not rooting for either cause I have friends competing this year but I think they are the main two who have a chance. JTP has been so close the past couple years but it barely it slipped away each time. Millen got his car dialed mid season last year.
