The car was made to drift. They were concerned with the weight but did a good job on the researching of parts. (carbon hood , trunk and I think doors) Those volk racing wheels are pretty light. These guys are really big on that scene.... when visiting the shop it is easy to catch the 240 flu. But like I said these guys are highly knowledgeable on all engines are there to help, which gives them thumbs up in my book.

Those doors aren't carbon fiber. When you get a chance, find out where, when, and how the doors were obtained. You'll get a good laugh out of it.

As for stickers, you have to keep sponsors happy and car is at SEMA, i think there is no such thing as car without any stickers at SEMA's. Didnt you guys know, stickers add HP.

Someone from NOS Energy (Marketing) contacted me in regards to its build up when they started on this....


Turned out really nice. I didnt think it would be done this fast!

Very, Very nice! I love 'complete cars'

It was a bit of a joint effort, but it's over now.

Hi everybody!

Im glad everyone likes it. It was a hell of a project to complete in 1 week before the show!!!!

Let me answer any questions i can:

the car is built for Drift, Road Race, and Of crouse to look good and be a Demo car for NOS Energy Drink.

The wheels are pretty light considering they are 19x10.5 and 19x9.5. they are Volk Racing GT-V 2 pc. forged wheels low disk type. The offset of the actual wheels is +22 all around. We used a 15mm bolt on spacer of front and a 25mm bolt on spacer out back(25 rear will be changed to 15mm when stock replenishes.) Of course the only way to clear 6 piston brakes al around with Low Disk wheels was to use bolt on spacers. The Custom size wheels we wanted were not available on such short notice. The effective size and offset now is 19x9.5 +7 front with 245 Direzzas and 19x10.5 -3 with 275 Direzzas out back.

The car WAS NOT COMPLETE for the show of course... it still needs more engine wiring, chassis wiring, and a few other things we just didnt have time for before the SEMA show.

The engine is a built 1JZ GTE with a Greddy T67 25G Turbo and Manifold and custom IC piping by MA.

Full Standalone ECU is the Electromotive Tec3R Unit with DFUs and custom mag sensor bracket we had machined.

Drivetrain Help from ATS consists of a Twin Plate Carbon Clutch kit, and Carbon 2 way LSD.

Everything on the Car was installed and/ or hand fabricated in house here @ MA-Motorsports.

the doors are not Carbon fiber though we were SUPPOSED to have them for the show. We got a set of doors from the junkyard 1 day before the show and had our body guy come into work on his birthday to spray them blue for us real quick.

All carbon fiber parts are supplied by Siebon.
