The only reason y they r putting scions in formula d is because Toyota is sponsoring them. so there pretty much forced to take a scion when toyota offers it to them. Ken Gushi drove 1 last year and did horribly in it. Formula D is about using cars w/ parts that you can buy on the streets. How is a RWD Scion even possible for an average joe??
rwd drive conversion is posible for the average joe because the chasis layout is pretty much the same as the jdm toyota Caldina which is rwd so pretty much the drivetrain was pretty much bolt ons
in Japan the TC is an AWD platform at round 2 I was talking to Steph Papadakis and Tanner and they sait that it was a Japanese TC converted to left hand drive and they swapped it to RWD and put a V8 in it and same with Gushi's TC except his is a 4cylinder. But they arent forced to take anything from Toyota or Scion... And Gushi is actually pretty good in his now lol surprisingly.
I dont like the fact thats scion is invading formula d. But you guys have 2 admit a scion w/ a nascar v8 is insane. Ken Gushi must be pissed at Tean RSR for lagging it LMAO. Cant wait to see this monster in action.
haha hater? I went to the 'yota dealership and saw 5 cars with standard transmissions. That's just a shit tonne of fail. I love classic Toyotas, but the stuff they put out now is garbage, vanilla garbage.
OMG that sound is amazing !

maybe it has to do with something with the new subaru/toyota alliance in 2012, they are releasing a FR car pwered by a boxer engine

Toyota Avenis is the same chassis as the tC which is an AWD chassis. That's why it's allowed in the FD rules.

They aren't "Forced" to do anything. They are given an offer, and they accepted it.
