"Myspace Style" Drift Forum - Welcome to DriftHQ.com

Hey Drifting fans,

I'm sure, as you are into drifting, you are probably a member of a drift forum. Forums are great but there are so many online now and they all seem pretty much the same.

That's why I decided to start a new breed of forum for the Drifting community on the web!

The website is called www.DriftHQ.com - Online Community for Drifting Fans Worldwide

When you go there and sign up (FREE), you'll notice it has the Myspace or Facebook feel. And, that's exactly what I was looking for.

This new social community style website gives us drifting fans more choices thanks to advanced technology to share our passion in a new and cool way.
So I invite you to join www.DriftHQ.com - Online Community for Drifting Fans Worldwide and enjoy the new style of drift forum.

Cheers,
Stu - www.DriftInJapan.com & www.DriftHQ.com

Rhys Millen'a Solstice GXP Drift Car

Rhys Millen's Solstice GXP Drift car might not be the prettiest, or most typically styled drift car, but its a great piece of machinery in itself.

Rhys' machine is not your typical daily driver of course, but the combo of great chassis dynamics and power make for an almost perfect drift car set up. It has a worked 2.4L turbo ECOtec race engine. A Torque-monster, putting out 520 ft-lbs of torque and 500 horsepower!

The Solstice GXP is a sports car at heart so it makes sense to turn it into a full-bore race car!

So how's the Solstice GXP's production engine?

It's a 2.0L turbo ECOtec LNF, an advanced engine design with direct injection and continuously variable valve timing, making 260 horsepower and 260ft-lbs of torque.

Still not quite the monster of Rhys' Solstice drift car, but should be enough to allow the Solstice to drift like it's production competitors in the drift scene like the Nissans and Mustangs!

Check out Ryhs drifting his Red Bull Solstice at Formula D. Some may not like the shape much, but this car would be a lot of fun to drift!




Until next time,
Stu - www.DriftinJapan.com
