The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - COMING 2006 ! !To avoid jail time, street racer Shaun Boswell is sent to live with his father in Tokyo. There he discovers drift racing. After losing a race to Yakuza-connected D.K., the Drift King, Shaun has to enter the Tokyo underworld to find a way to pay his debt. Shaun Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street racing -- which has made him particularly unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo. In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks. For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing, Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death. Five Axis SCION xA
Five Axis has made headlines with its last two
award-winning Scion project vehicles - the xB
DJ and tC Widebody. This year the company
completed its makeover of the Scion family with the xA Speedster. This
Five Axis show car features three interlinked Xbox 360 game consoles
playing Forza Motorsport on a pair of 19-inch Samsung monitors behind the
seats and a giant screen on the underside of the hood fed by a Casio
XJ-560 projector. The xA Speedster also has the trade mark Five Axis
widebody treatment, as well as the complete removal of the roof and side
glass and see-through body sides on the doors. While some may argue that
wild show cars like the xA Speedster are silly or even a waste of time, we
can't but help but be impressed by the work of Five Axis year in and year
out. Five Axis 6-inch custom widebody conversion Engine and exhaust
Are Race Car TIRES IMPORTANT? Tires matter because they connect race cars to the track. The best tires are those that provide a high level of grip and offer the driver a full sense of security as they race at 180 miles per hour. The tires must also be durable so they can last at least one fuel stint without a drop-off in performance. In fact, Michelin has been able to accomplish all of that and have the durability to race two fuel stops without changing tires. Referred to as "double stinting", this allows teams to not change tires on every pit stop, which can save as much as 20 seconds per pit stop. At most ALMS tracks, that can mean nearly a quarter of a lap in track position, a significant advantage.
