Better Late Than Never: Scion FR-S’ First Drift
Just thought I would put this here in reference to this post "The Next Hachi Roku (AE-86)?". What was that exactly? The Speedhunters got some footage of Formula DRIFT driver, Ken Gushi, testing out the drifting abilities of the Scion FR-S for the first time. So even though the vid has made it's way through the Internet a couple weeks earlier, a word is a word and here's a glimpse of what the Toyobaru can do...on a wet track.

Preview of a few Scions at SEMA 2011
Scion does it big again this year. They recently released a few sneak peak pics of modified 2012 Scion IQs that will be at SEMA this year. I'm a FAN... the question is are you?
The next Hachi Roku (Toyota AE-86)?
The Scion FR-S Concept is suppose to be the descendant of the famed Toyota AE-86 known to devoted fans as "the little car that could". The AE-86 was a light and agile car that gained fame due to the Japanese Anime series "Inital D". It was first believed that the FR-S was going to maintain the Toyota logo but it looks like it's going to carry the Scion badge instead. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see this car drifting, and when it does, IMPORTJUNKIEZ.com will be sure to post it! Enjoy the video.

Tanner Foust @ Mulholland Drive
I like this vid. If you haven't seen it already you must be living under a rock. What is it? Tanner Foust in his Rockstar Scion tC drifting around LA's famous Mulholland Drive.
Is it drift season yet?
I don’t get the comparison…
I don't get the comparison, but this video is fun to watch. Enjoy.

RUMOR OF THE DAY: AE86 to make a come back?
Just like the undying rumor of a Honda CRX return every couple seasons, the Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno/AE86 has a similar cycle. This time coming from the Japanese magazine, Best Car. The "AE86" is slated for a Winter 2008 debut. Boasting a 120hp engine and under 2200lb weight, this car is set to be an affordable lightweight compact RWD car - the likes of what we haven't seen since the Miata debuted. Interesting note from the article is that the car would sport a RWD system from Heavy Fuji Industries a.k.a. Subaru. Anyone else see the Scion Fuse in the sketch? Hmmmm, I think I'll believe this when I see the car in showrooms. It's only a year away...
