I am well aware of the fact that it has been done before. It still does not make it a good choice for a drift car.

Just a little update on the car guys


Cage is almost completed.


Seibon Dry Carbon Fiber showed up yesterday. The look and feel is top notch.

Dry Carbon CW Hood with Reverse Scoop
This stuff is just super impresive, Super Lighweght and Strong! This stuff is just awesome.



Seibon Dry Carbon Trunk Lid


Seibon Carbon Doors


For those of you that have always wonderd how much wider the APR Widebody is compared to the OEM body check out the gap when the door is installed minus the flare.

Stephan Verdier finished 13th in points last year in Formula D in his STI. In two full sesions he's broken a couple axles and blown up 1 tranny!! All stock Subaru parts (axles and gears).

There's not a secret "rwd conversion"...it's a simple matter of putting a new center diff in the car. Stephan did it in his garage.
