The early stage of this drift project shows the car with the 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.

The 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, we 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 the 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.

The car is nearly ready for start up. The latest pics are long overdue, but worth the wait.

The front end shows you the basics, however, look forward to additional tin work for the ducting and air intake.

Here the 2JZ is installed and the initial boost path completed. The car will intentionally get sorted on the twin turbos. Later, after the cars suspension is sorted, more power with a big single.

The boost path was powder coated “Flipside Grey”. The radiator shroud, not pictured, is nearly finished.

Inside trunk shows the finished fuel lines.

This shows the battery, box and cable routing.

… again, cable routing and final driver position prior to the cage work.

Next up, fan shroud and start up. Coming soon, detailed photos of Flipside twin rear brake set up.  Also, installed Flipside rear bushing upgrade and full S.S exhaust system. Feel free to call or text with your questions about pricing and availability.

Then intake is machined so that all internal baffles and obstructions are removed to increase flow characteristics.

Here you can also see the new bottom cap that will be welded in place before final inspection.

For those looking for an intake with less heat soak, less weight, and the most efficient boost path you can create, its hard to argue with such a proven product. Flipside short runner intakes are tearing up the streets and tracks with power levels well into the 500hp range. Period.

Feel free to ask about polishing or your powder coated color choice.

• Motor mounts
• Transmission mount
• Stainless steel downpipe starter
• Mild steel turbo relocator
• Billet aluminum cold side turbo flange

Assembled, you can see how kit works with your factory manifold and factory or upgraded turbo.

Here are some shots of the individual parts:

Flipside has streamlined the design of these brackets to make them both easy to install and affordable. Here you see the kit prior to blasting and powdercoat. These are made from mild steel and are very strong.

Here are some photos of the installation, as well as the seat in the car in various positions.

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 295 Dunlops on 18×10 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.
