Its taking me a long time to finish this car because customers come first. At the end of eaxh day i try to do at least one thing to the 7. Today I Got the car back on all four wheels. I used razmus spare drift wheels in the rears because we are running the same size tire and wheel specs. I used stephens BBS’eeessss on the front jus cause. Car runs and I drove it around the block. I still need a few more things to be able to get it back on the track, but its looking promising. I love the way it sounds ….brap brap brap…
Some of you on here knew this was going on but most didnt. I want to thank all of my fellow Sumospeed members, everyone at SAGE auto, RE_Spec Garage, Rameybuilt, CN Stainless bolts, Beach City Customs, Enjuku Racing, ISIS Performance, and Projekt Photo for making this possible. I will let the article speak for itself.
Check out one of the craziest videos we have seen in Japan thanks to Rob Riter. He was able to witness this event in person and said it was over 30 cars on track at one time. The white S15 you see flying by is Kawabata and the lead car is Nakamura of Team Burst. Don’t miss this one.
I wish we could all get together here in the states and do this. This is the way it should be done……Start building your “Missile car”….I am!!!!!!!

Our cage and suspension mods on stephen knoops car is coming to a close. This car will be insane and knoop will be driving the piss out of it.
On to the knuckles and LCA’s. We have decided to try out a ball joint set up on sthephens car to correct his suspension geometry on his lowered 240sx. The following pictures are the RE_speck super angle knuckles, gusseted LCA’s and notched, and also the ball joint mods.
NOTE: We are not event at full lock in this picture. The BBs rs’ dont have super low offset.
NOTE: This is a quick mock up. Nothing is in its final resting place.
I had the honor so build this awesome cage for s.knoop. I will be competing next year at usdrift events along with a few other events. I hope this cage and my suspension mods help him get further.
Cage is fully done. Formula D and NASA spec cage’s will be available after February at an affordable price. Schedule your cage now for a discounted price. Inquire for more info: RE_spec1@yahoo.com

I have know stephen knoop for about 6 years now. We were both harcore ka-t guys and where both interested in autocrossing. Drifting back then was just taking off and not many people actually drifted and track events were not really available. Fast forward to now. We have both moved on from autocrossing, ka-t’s, and Sr’s. In 2010 we are looking to join everybody else on track with v8 powered s-chassy cars. Next year we both plan to have our cars out there sideways with ls1’s and fully build drift cars. I have taken responsibility to build the cages for 3 drift cars competing next year in Usdrift. Knoop” aka” WishiHadaSilvia is one of those guys and he will be getting a lot of work from me. Front tubs are on the list, so he can run my RE_spec Knuckles. Keep tuned!!!!
