SPONSORING :Steven Carter

Steven Carter is one of QLD's up and coming drifters, as a competitor of Drift state and Stadium drift he has been consistent with qualifying and battles. ISC jumped on board in late 2007 to help Carter progress to the next level, the A31 currently has ISC N1 coilovers, adjustable suspension arms, FMIC, exhaust, Work XD9 wheels and many other modifications! The car was painted in the brightest possible blue we could find so the car would stand out above the competition, the car has definitely accomplished this and will know be featured in a future HPI magazine.

SPONSORING :ISC S13

The ISC S13 was built to advertise some of ISC's most important products, and to also be a competitive drift/track vehicle. The car features the ISC N1 coilovers along with all the adjustable suspension arms, full Japanese exhaust, FMIC, vertex body kit, inner guard bracing, cusco roll cage and the list goes on and on. The car will makes its Debut at Mallala 2008 SD with Myles Bond behind the wheel. A huge thanks to Mark at Fuel Automotive for carrying out a full rebuild on the ca18det and also various other work that has made the car what it is today. We would also like to thank M&C Doyle for the paint work and Boostworx for tuning.

Jono is definetly a driver to watch out for in the near future, with past drift cars consisting of a VN commodore and a Mazda FC he is know behind the wheel of a competitive rb26dett A31. At round 1 G1 Mallala Jono won the Ben Simpson Rookie award and now with the backing of ISC Coilovers we hope to see many more trophies added to the collection. Jono has qualified well at every competition he has entered and now know that he is finally behind the wheel of a competitive car we cant wait to see how he performs at Mallala 2008 SD!

SPONSORING :Danny “DENZO” Vahoumis

Danny Vahoumis is a very well known name through out Australia since his early days with “Japanese Motorsport”. Danny is not new to the Australian drift scene by any means, he is a big reason why drift has come so far in Australia in the last few years. Danny has been involved in motorsport since the early 90’s when he owned JMS. He was competing since the first drift event was held at Port G, South Australia. He has then gone onto compete in G1, Fullock, and DA. At current he is most probably the most well known drifter in South Australia and maybe even Australia due to not only his high level of skill, motorsport history, but also his “wacky” personality. 2007 will be an interesting year for team JMS as the store has only recently re-opened with Danny as Manager.

SPONSORING : Tarmac Army/Delirium/Team Wheelworx

The exciting new colour schemes of the cars reflect the personality of the youthful team, and the stunning vehicles have been constructed with performance and reliability in mind. With cutting edge technology loaded on board, the all Nissan line up has been specifically designed with one thing in mind…….DRIFT! Dubbed the ‘Tarmac Army’, the Team is gearing up for another successful years sliding, starting with Round 1 at Barbagallo Raceway in WA. Stepping up to the Team leader role is 2006 Toyo Super Drift Champion/Xtreme Team Champion Linden Reynolds, last years biggest surprise package to come out of Super D. Driving his totally revamped R32 Skyline, ‘Lindo’ is itching to hit the track and make it two Championships in a row.

“I raced last year for my own goals, and achieved everything I wanted too”, explained Linden “this year, the exposure on offer is intense, and I plan make Team Wheelworx’s year a successful one”

Making the Team three is Linden’s two 2006 Xtreme Team Drift Champion team mates, and fellow Deli boys – Adam “Mayhem” May and ‘Turbo’ Tom Monkhouse. Tom heads back to the Toyo Series for another year, whilst Adam makes the huge step up from Super D last year. All the cars come from the Nissan garage, with Lindo running his R32/RB35 combo pumping over 290+kw. Mayhem will slide behind the wheel of a brand new S13.5 Silvia powered by a 300+kw RB25, whilst Turbo Tom will change from Mitsubishi Lancer to killer 180SX with a full house 250kw SR20 up front

“We really had to rush the car to get it on the track, and didn’t even have time for a wheel alignment! The ISC Coilovers bolted in and did the job from the start, and really surprised me. We adjusted the damper on the front during the weekend, this helped the response and turn-in dramatically. The next step will be to focus on the rear, we need to get some more grip so we will be doing some testing between rounds 1 and 2”.

-Linden ‘Mr. Natural’ Reynolds

“The Silvia was running the new ISC Coilovers front and rear, and the grip level was great. I felt more confident every lap I turned, and the stability in the final corner called the Dominator (280m left hand off camber sweeper) allowed me to really use the RB25’s power to full effect, I’m very impressed with the new set up”

–Adam ‘Mayhem’ May

“The new ISC Coilovers didn’t let me down. The spring rates worked wildly, and the car got better with every lap as I got a handle on the new setup. I couldn’t be happier”

–‘Turbo’ Tom Monkhouse
