Tim's new driftcar - LEXUS SC300

Without any more waiting, here we go!

We present You Lexus SC300

At the moment the car is totaly stock, even with some problems. The steering mechanism was broken, front bumper broken, lamp totally messed, interior in poor condition..

Enough about the past... lest see what will be done in the near future!

First the car will be repaired to normal condition (at least), then the fun will start!

The car will be removed of all interior, all the unnecessary things and equipment. A lot of changes will be made:

Interior - racing bucket seats, racing safety belts, racing steering wheel, aftermarket panels, some must-have gauges..

Exterior - wide bodykit, wheels (R18?), clear lamps, plastic windows, harder details (hood, back hood, doors) will be refabricated to carbon (maybe)..

Suspension - coilovers, adjustable arms, maximal front wheel angle..

Engine - 2JZ-GTE (3.0 twin turbo), will be remate to 3.0 single turbo, with GT35 series turbo,

afttermarket inlet/exaust cams, better intake and exaust systems, intercooler, progr. computer (maybe)..

Transmission - 5 or 6 gear mechanical gearbox, 2-way or 3-way (welded) diff, 2 disc heavy duty clutch..

Also - bright green color (as always), team & sponsor stickers..

And ofcourse, if I forgot something it will be added in near future, when the project starts!
