Not sure if you some of you ever saw these threads below:

Falken Drifter (race) IS350

At the time some of these pics were taken it was the 2JZ swap, but it now has the V8 as previously stated.....

Threads in chronological order:

First (and Second) Look: Falken Tire IS350 Drift Car

Early pictures of the Falken IS350 drift car 56K death!

At the time of the original build (early 07'), the IS-F motor wasn't out yet..


Plus, even with the recent conversion to their current V-8,
the IS-F motor (model 2UR-GSE) is a mucho expensive design & costly upgrade.

The IS-F surely doesn't have anywhere close to the power of the motor they have now, and they would have run into all the same technical problems they were having with the 2GR-FSE.
