Thinking purely about the standard car here;

This is the first shots of the BIW (Body in White) i've seen. Notice that massive cross car beam on the floor pan behind the front seats? That should make for a massively rigid structure. = Good news!

Okay just kidding. This car is pretty darn cool.

Looks like you guys are slightly behind. Those pics were posted on ScionLife a good month ago...

Just about every Formula D (pro drift car) has two brake setups on the rear. One is the standard one, and the other is the Hydraulic Hand brake. It's rather common.

Gushi loves and sticks with Hankook because of the amount of smoke they produce.

Very cool!!

It sucks that they're using shitty APR parts on a legit competition car though...

I love the wind splitter

Jedi1 · 06-27-2012, 12:38 PM

An chance that splitter and flick up combo will go on sale at some point? If they don't take Aero away from STX I could be in for that and the rear wing on this car.

Insane!!!!!!!!!!

LOL @ Greddy stickers over the factory painted brembo brakes. I respect Greddy, but that's kinda lame.

I've never seen it before till now. I've been to a Formula Drift competition before and never once seen it on the cars, of course that was back in 2008. Im sure things have changed since then. I believe the main cause of this is a type of brake oscilation which gives a more flexible means to allow the driver to apply braking power where he needs it. I mean its drifting not true racing. Where its the art of using the clutch kick/ ebrake technique. As a driver approaches his corner it probably helps adjust the braking on either side, which will allow for which wheels begins to spin the most as the car turns sideways. Just my theory.. thats all.
