Daigo Saito's FD 2012 car. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

JDMpurest · 03-05-2012, 06:00 AM

I'm sure most of you have already heard the rumors of of Diago running a Z40 Soarer for Formula D 2012. Some people said V8 which was always wrong from the beginning, Diago only builds 2j's, so without further a due.

Here it is in all of its 1200hp glory.

The car can be seen in this video as well towards the beginning, just look for the massive huge spoiler. This video was filmed yesterday.

I also have some photos of the car i will post later.

Finally a top FD competitor that wont have a v8

That is some beautiful stuff right there....

Flicktitty · 03-05-2012, 08:38 AM

AWESOME! cannot wait to see what this car will do...

IMO that doesn't look like a 1200HP Setup (turbo size wise)

DenkiMan! · 03-05-2012, 09:29 AM

oh god, fd will now be a priority of mine this season. i was too excited to hear he was competing stateside. v8's beware

JDMpurest · 03-05-2012, 10:32 AM

ryandriftingfat · 03-05-2012, 03:01 PM

IIxOATxII · 03-05-2012, 04:08 PM

Damn is that star specs in the rear? Has to be like a 275-ish or bigger got damn.

The girls in America need to step their game up haha.

tricky_ab · 03-06-2012, 07:25 AM

I don't have the magazines in front of me, but I belive there was a article about this build in either Option or Drift Tengoku...

I'm interested in see how he does stateside...

It was Doriten 2 months ago. The car has changed alot since though. There was some engine parts changed (Turbo) and some other details. Originally the Turbo choice was a greddy T88 but he's since chosen a larger garret unit to achieve the power goals, 3.4 liter as well. I think the spoiler got bigger haha.

Landers · 03-06-2012, 10:37 AM

Finally, A pro car without a v8!

Can't wait for the season to start

Ah I had thought so...I'll take another look tonight...

Thanks!

aoshi1 · 03-06-2012, 11:45 AM

Wow, so rad. His builds are amazing, even if I am biased towards 2jz's lol.

ilia · 03-06-2012, 12:13 PM

Can't wait for all those tube frame nascars to get taken out by something that more closely resembles a drift car.

Those definitely looks like Hankook RS3s, probably a 285 since Hankook doesn't make a 275 in 18s.

Ninjabread · 03-06-2012, 12:20 PM

This thing should be neat. Assume the radiator is in the back?

Anybody have a clue what flares he has on the front?

Same ones as the rear on his cresta.

I've been looking everywhere but can't find them.

Should be BN sports.

There are no tube frame cars in FD. Look at how those drift cars are put together and take a look at the FD rulebook...

On another note It's cool to see Daigo running events here in the US. This season is going to be fun to watch.

I cant wait for the V8's to stomp all over this shit box!

Shadowhunter · 03-06-2012, 02:31 PM
