It's very frustrating to see this van as it was denied the right to compete in the formula D, but some how the Scion got through on technicality of being mechanically similar to an AWD model from japan, EXCEPT that the damn element is sold as AWD in the USDM market. WTF is that?
Note there was also a Toyota Vitz that was made RWD for the Formula D, and I'm sure there is an AWD model in some other market as well, but it was denied the ability to compete as well.
That makes no sense, some how a FWD Scion is in and an S13 that is RWD can't compete even though the body mods are based on another RWD? Favoritism? perhaps.
I like how you guys are implementing community forum photos into the blog.
that's part of the idea with this project. We want people to join us in the Speedhunting :>

I Love Toyota, but comon, play fair.
That element actually has a V6 accord motor turbo charged motor.
I think they should allow it, but then again FD told Xat racing with their Pontiac Front end on a 240 they couldnt because of the "body change"
