just stumbled across this on another forum and thought it was pretty interesting...


from D1gp.com
The rumors circling around the drifting community has finally settled. Nobushige Kumakubo, a top D1 contender whose presence is essential to the D1 circuit, has done the impossible. Breaking the habit of the traditional platforms that are seldom utilized for drifting, a front engine mount rear wheel drive Subaru Impreza was confirmed to be his next vehicle of choice. The 2.5 liter EJ25 is expected to be built to Tsukuba circuit specs, according to JUN auto mechanic. Although JUN primarily specializes in other forms of racing besides drifting, Kumakubo is confident that he can adapt to any form of tuned vehicle. With a vehicle built by one of Japan's best tuners, combined with his unmatched drifting skill, Kuma is determined to keep his rank at its peak. Now the real question is: Will the car be orange?

What's up with the fans in the trunk and the side air intakes?

when passing gas he can aid not only in dispertion as a weapon, but it also gives a nitrous kick when the fans blow that methane out the back. both trunks opeen of course.

The radiator is in the trunk.
