Over the last few months we have had the opportunity to work on this awesome Time Attack Subaru build.
Here is a Rushforth rendering of what the car will look like when all completed.

In order to remove unnecessary weight from the rear of the car, we replaced the heavy factory rear bumper beam (32lbs) with this all aluminum custom replacement (just over 9lbs).

This shot is after mini-tubbing front inner fender tubs. Now at full compression, the 275 Dunlops on 18×9.5 wheels fit with ease and clear at full lock.

Here you see an early stage of the Spearco intercooler fitment and chromoly front bumper bar.

In order to cool the massive front brakes while maintaining maximum tire clearance, we recessed all duct work into factory front frame rails.

Now inner wells are finished and sealed.

If you love drifting, or plan on building a purpose built drift or track car, then this build is for you. Building a
“no excuses” drift car, we first decided not to follow the crowd but to lead one. With its low initial cost, longer wheel base, and an engine bay large enough for Japans finest, we opted to start with a 1990 Toyota Cressida. Flipside looks forward to sharing its research and development on this build as our quest grows for high horsepower sideways fun.

Early stage of drift project shows car with suspension installed. Look for detailed pics of installed Flipside fully adjustable rear camber and toe arms.

With the help of the team at J-Rod and Custom, the entire front end of the car was stripped, prepped, bodied and painted in preparation for the 2JZ twin turbo engine and tranny combo.

Engine bay hints how Flipside is preparing for the larger carbon fiber inner fender tubs. We also modified the core support to be removable. This allows the engine and trans to go in and out with little effort. Next, blasted and painted all suspension pieces as well as upgraded all front bushings.

Inside, the car has been lightened throughout. Lexan side windows have been installed, and initial fitment of roll cage has been started. Flipside intends to offer a complete weld in kit for all who require an SCCA legal roll cage for Formula D or local track requirements.

Jared at J-Rod and Custom, built a new tunnel top that not only looks great, but provides additional clearance for the larger transmission.

In August of 09 I was lucky enough to receive an anniversary gift that continues to impress me the more its driven. Its a 2010 Mustang GT and over time, you will be able to see it develop into a refined street machine with the ability to do track time any time.

Watch us as we begin a build on my oldest sons first car. We plan on turning his Toyota SR5 into an excellent example of a well balanced, well built, entry level car on a budget. Check out the Rushforth rendering as our blueprint and ultimate goal for his car.
