Japspeed

Team Japspeed 1JZ Powered Subaru Impreza WRX STI

The Japspeed Subaru Impreza was (and still is) a pioneer for the UK drift scene and has been frequently referred to as one of the most innovative drift car builds in Europe throughout the last few years. Headline facts include a Toyota 1JZ powerplant, Quaife sequential gearbox and a Nissan front and rear suspension setup. The car was piloted by the internationally revered Brett Castle throughout the 2013 season and is being fully rebuilt from the ground up for the 2014 season, ready to be debuted at the 2014 Autosport International Show.
