yea guess who owns that sc?.... the owner of T&E, Ueno. I have a drifting magazine that details the info on the car and what he's done to it. He's done a lot to the car. For weight reduction :
Even after stripping down the vehicle to a bare chassis, replacing most of the glass windows with acrylic, and substituting in aluminum and titanium bolts everywhere he could, the car still needed to be lighter. So ueno put the car on a strict diet of dry carbon fiber. Carbon fiber hood at 4kg, carbon fiber console with carbon fiber diffusers front and rear. Carbon fiber doors at only 8kg with working power windows.
it is a 1jzgte engine. he even went as far as to switch steel bolts for titanium and aluminum.... the mag quotes that he said the titanium ones cost $20 each.
I got more on this if ya want...

They couldve picked any car in the world to use. But they used an SC.... I admire the work that theyve done and admire the fact that theyve done it.
It was a challenge to do it and now its one of the most high profile Dritf cars on the scene.....for now

Several guys that are regulars on the Freshalloy 240sx boards were picked in the search. Ernie with the yellow JSPEC.com silvia and SileightyMania (benson) are just a few. There was another guy that was just sick in a Z06. IIRC he was a racing school instructor. It's so annoying that all that stuff is ALWAYS on the west coast.
