Our team built it live in X-treme Car Show held in Helsinki this weekend. They built the car saturday from 10am to 7pm and sunday from 10am to 6pm. In this time car was stripped all out, they installed V-mount on it, changed the exhaust, installed coil-overs, hydraulic e-brake, M-sports wide bodykit and D-max style hood, additional carbon splitters front and side, APR Performance GTC500 wing, smoked tail lights, new wheels, bucket seats, 4-point harnesses, Xbox console and some in car electronics. It also got decals on it and one local pinstriper made his personalizing for it as well as Big Dane from West Coast Customs put his autograph on the dashboard.

Main sponsor was EA Games with Need For Speed Prostreet game. Other sponsors were Osram, Ground Dynamics, D2, Fuel Wheels, APR Performance, MDS audio and 3M.

Here is one underhood pic. There was one camera man filming our team througout both days so we'll have some building up videos of it. It will also be presented in X-treme DVD released near christmas.

For the engine we will be making a full build up during winter and the car is going to be competed in Finnish and nordic drifting series next season.

Thats actually pretty cool, considering I work for EA as the lead vehicle artist for Pro Street I had no idea that we were sponsoring that even. Too bad we don't have an FC in the game, only the FD and RX8..

Wow! That's cool! I know that there is only FD's on Pro Street but I didn't have any proper FD on garage for this But you can keep this somewhat "inspired" by Pro Street trailers etc. And ofcourse you can make some patches or updates to include this FC on the later version

Finland is such a small country that you don't have to be alarmed not knowing about our little sponsorship

Random question, but what kind of wheels are on the car BEFORE all the work was done? Nothing showy, but they look clean on a stock body car.

Thanks! We are building a second one with similar looks for next year also so plans are to compete with two of those in Nordic Drifting Series season 2008. Hope to see you on the track also with your own FC!

Silvia is already sold. It was a D1SL car competed in Japan and it was really great drifter. Now we are making even better drifter from this FC, atleast I hope so

They are some Work wheels but can't say the specific model. Without center hubs they look almost like Meister, but I'm not sure how long they have hade Meisters.. They are some 15*6,5" (or 7") and are really decent in weight.

Everybody just canīt like it. I respect your opinion, but we were building a race car which has to stand up so that our sponsors can get the coverage they are paying for. For a daily driver I would also have a full white one with some modest bodykit and golden spokes wheels with some good lip. Nothing more, nothing less. But in the other hand, this car is everything BUT a daily driver and so it should be.
