Formula D. Built FR-S cars

I guess this would be the best place to put this as I don't see any subsection for Drifting.

Follower of Formula Drift I always find myself glued to the computer screen for their live stream for the long distance events I can't attend and I religiously get down to the Atlanta, GA event as that's the only one close to me I can attend.

Last year there was one FR-S in Formula D. Ken Gushi's GReddy built FR-S as most of us know. But now there is going to be like 5 or more FR-S/BRZ in Formula D. and I'm losing count/details on them. So, help me dig out and find out who is rumored to be running what.

1) Ken Gushi - GReddy FR-S rocking an Cosworth EJ25 boxer

2) Tony Angelo - Building an FR-S and taking the 2az from the tC and dropping that in.

3) Ryan Turek - Rumored to be running an FR-S for 2013 season. Not sure on the power plant, but rumor is leading towards a 700whp 2jz.

4) Otto Graven - Super widebody FR-S (believe there is a thread on this forum as well) with a 1000hp V8 under the hood.

5) Toshiki Yoshioka - Will be running a BRZ (previous drove for RSR in the S15). His video interview, he said he will be going with a TOMEI powered EJ26.

That is the 2013 list I have thus far seen. For 2014: "Slide or Die" Dai Yoshihara will be stepping out of the Falken Tires V8 S13 that brought him the championship in 2011 and into a BRZ that Falken Tires will be building. It is expected to also have an LS V8 in it.
