why the M5 swap? I would think the 2j would have been just fine. I watched Fredric Aasbo in his Supra at Formula D and he was killing it .


But, Welcome to the Forum and thanks for representing the Supra in the drifting world.

Nice videos and welcome.

Also curious as to why you didnt use the 2jz.

I really don't know why leffe decided to swap the engine, but i will ask him why and get back to you guys.

Thanks for the comments

Best regards/ wille

I've talked to leif. The reason why was simple. He bought the supra without an engine and then took his old engine from his previous drift car to keep the costs down, but he's on the look out for a new engine for next season and it's leaning towards a LS7. But we will see, there's also some talk about getting a supra engine.

Yeah aasbo is a outstanding driver and leif's role model

Are you guys planning on competing in Formula D next year?.

If ya want a V8 get a 1UZFE
I do kinda of like the M5 swap, though i wouldn't ditch a 2JZ for it. I wonder what it would be like in a MKIII

Nice supra! the Nissan was killing it also. Videos are great, looks like y'all have a lot of fun out there. Just one thing..... can you leave clips of two guys fighting in there underwear out next time. LOL just joking. You are really lucky to be apart of something like that.


Great job with the videos

That's our main goal, but i don't think we have the resources to get over to the states yet. We are currently looking for some sponsors to help us out with the cost and such. He's only 21 so the money flow is kinda weak. Leif also wanna drive 1 more year so that he don't make a fool of himself at formula D

Regarding the engine. Leif is trying to sell the M5 motor.
Motor info:
BMW M5 3,6L turbo
645whp, 780wnm with 1,2bar

And thanks everyone for the nice comments on the videos
