Where have either of you two been the last 2 years? I hope this car isn't new to you! haha, that's the Vertex drift car, driven by Youichi Imamura. He's one of the best in D1, you should get some recent Option Videos!

BTW, the last pic of that car, the car is wearing the newest widebody kit from Vertex, it's the a widebody version of their standard FD body kit... it's pretty smooth looking

That is not the Vertex car, that is the Apexi D1 Project RX7 FD3S. You can tell by the GIGANTIC Apexi vinyl across the side of the car. The car is sponsored by Vertex (for the aero kit), as well as by R-Magic (for the hood). Vertex has their own car, a JZZ30 Soarer, driven by the owner of Vertex.

Much money is invested in this project. In fact, they have a US version of this same car for when they run events stateside.

neo-omega, it seems fitting that you've hired the PFC tuner, since he has direct relation with Apexi.

Those are Volk GT-P's, last time I checked. Very blingy, which is the trend now in D1. Damn, Japan is getting into the US trends. Blingy wheels, crazy graphics... I just wished the ladies would all get boob jobs, too! :p

This is a very well done FD, but I like the Team Orange/Panspeed FD! Much cooler, much ricier! Especially with the crazy roof wing and the GT wing. Crazy Japanese! What will they think of next!?

yeah, this car is BADASS!!! the VERTEX kit is so clean yet very mean looking.. i like.

anyways, it is race season over in asia right now, so the tuner will only have time to come to chicago for 2-3 days in june ( date pending ). if anyone wants their cars tune
by the best!! this tuner is a perfectionist... he told me he will only tune 3-4 cars a day because he wants to tune every little horse or pony out of your engine and yet safe. now, if you want him to just throw some map that they uses in their race car... he could do that too. and he will be able to tune more cars like that. it's all up to the owner.
