That car was owned by droo-p

Another guy drove the sc430 in 2009, Yoshioka's status in D1 in 09 wasn't as great as in previous years.

The other guy (Hagisako?) crashed it.

DRIFT EMPORIUM · 02-04-2010, 10:55 PM

Steve - I am also building a 95 Supercharged, 5 speed converted, dual sunroof Previa. It's going to be sweet!

I think the SC430 used in D1 was running the 3SGTE.

Hach1r0k1d03 · 02-10-2010, 09:52 AM

so will this car be used in Xtreme Drifting Circuit? or in formula D after this season?

Jonny Fonseca · 02-10-2010, 10:38 AM

Are you going to the drift event @ Turner field in Atlanta with the lexus?

slideways2004 · 02-10-2010, 10:47 AM

This sucks, his own cars are amazing and he is a beast behind the wheel in them. If he is doing this for the sponsorship, then it is totally understandable.

i know what you mean... forrest has been building dope cars since high school and i didn't even go to the same school as him lol. but if drift emporium is gonna let him pilot their sponsor car, by all means do so but make it suit forrest's style by putting an 2j in it or let him pilot a ls430 or a gs350 with a 2j if its a lexus platform they're going for.

A pic of the 3UR-FE. We are using these measurements to make the Z33 Trans adapter. Adapter plate being made.

DRIFT EMPORIUM · 03-17-2010, 09:38 AM

John and I (Joe) making the motor mounts for the Tundra 3URFE swap. The SC430 being originally built/sold with a 4.3 Liter V8 allows a surprising amount of engine bay room for the huge Tundra 5.7 liter 3ur. Note how far back the engine is able to be located to the firewall!

Slapshotnerd · 03-17-2010, 10:37 AM

wow, that's pretty impressive! can't wait to see what the final weight distribution is!

Amanda · 03-18-2010, 11:40 PM

So unique!

DRIFT EMPORIUM · 04-07-2010, 05:39 PM

Hey Amanda,
I remember you from Long Beach back in 06 or 07 when you and Cassidi were working the Dunlap booth! LOL Good to see you still out there.
