JSP Formula Drift AE86 rebuild

Postby john russakoff » Sun Aug 04, 2013 9:08 am

Short back story:

2011 formula d season, crashed my racecar in new jersey and totalled it. Built a new car with some good friends in 10 days. Had a bunch of bugs with the car the last three races of the season. After 2011 the car sat at my house untouched due to finances and frustration. So after almost two years ive decided to bring it back to the shop and put it together the right way. This car will be rebuilt mainly for drag racing now but I am purposely still leaving it able to turn and drift for later down the line.

I am very fortunate to be able to continue relationships with oast sponsors and am excited about their continued support during this rebuild. So I need to thank them first.

Incredible work, Mr. Russakoff. I really enjoy your work, and I envy that rear end!

Loynings is about to push (try) a boosted RZ Tacoma to 200 mph over a running mile course @ Bonneville Salt Flats in the next week or so....

but that is another story. John... so what are your plans... as Tony pointed out the RZ is more than capable of hurtling you down the 1/4 blisteringly quick.

I know Gforce is mainly used for drag racing but would that trans with a stock F20 be streetable?

Glad you're back in the AE86 headache! Awesome to see someone going a route other than expensive parts whore or drift only.
