Make sure to read the well written feature with photos and words by Yoshi Shindo.

Here is just one of the photos from the feature,

Make sure to follow Kyle Pollard as he prepares for the 2012 Formula Drift Season. PSI will be there to support him in his 2012 Formula drift campaign.

Kyle has been drifting for the past several years and over this time has gained a lot of knowledge and experience. He has been very hands-on with the building and preparation of his drift cars. He built his current Formula D RHD S13 by himself with some help from friends and some assistance from PSI.

He offers custom modified S13/S14 drift knuckles that he personally builds himself. Kyle runs the same setup on his FD S13 to give him more angle. These knuckles allow for reverse entries and have Akerman and bump steer correction. Formula D driver, Walker Wilkerson, also used these knuckles on his S13 at the Palm Beach FD event.

Here are some photos of the build process.

If you are interested in getting a set yourself, feel free to contact us for more information and we can put you in contact with Kyle. The cost for Kyle Pollard Racing S13/S14 drift knuckles is $350 with core and $400 without core.

Here is a video of Kyle Pollard at PARC,

The 2012 season will be Andrew’s rookie year in the Formula Drift Series. With stepping up to the next level of drifting, we want to ensure his car improves as he does.

Along with the off season run thru of the motor, we will work on extracting more power from the LS2. The increased power will help Andrew keep pace with the more powerful cars of many of the Formula D drivers.

Above: Inspecting the LS2.

We will also be using this time to improve upon the current suspension setup and use it to develop new parts. We have a good amount of work to do before the start of next season. Check back here for more updates.

Both drivers currently have their Formula Drift licenses. The 2011 season was Kyle Pollard’s rookie year and he was only able to attend the last couple events. The 2012 season will be Andrew Coomes’ rookie season after being rewarded his license after the Evergreen Pro-Am Championship this year.

Here is a video that Loren Haleston, of LorenInHD, made this cool slo-mo video of Kyle Pollard drifting around PARC.

We will be posting up more coverage of the event as it becomes available online.

Andrew Coomes will be further preparing his car for the upcoming Formula Drift season. Kyle Pollard put the S13 into storage for the off season. We will be looking forward to continuing our support for both of these drivers and their two different S13′s.

We were well represented at PARC with the appearance by Kyle Pollard in his PSI livery Tomei 2.2L SR powered S13.

During the past few days, we have been busy getting Kyle’s car and our other sponsored Formula D driver’s car. That other driver is Andrew Coomes, who recently got his Formula D license from last years Evergreen ProAm series.

Andrew will be bringing down his LS2 powered Rocket Bunny S13 to take on PARC. This will be his first time drifting the track.

We will leave you with this video for the November event at PARC by Jared Cooper, of Hybrid Industries.

If you are in the area or just like drifting, come down to Pat’s Acres to watch some great drifting.  We will be out there supporting our drivers and we hope you will be too.  See you there.

This is a shot of a John Reed Racing M84 kit for the Mark IV Toyota Supra.  John Reed, of John Reed Racing, has already tested one of his kits on one of our client’s Toyota Supra.

John Reed sponsors an up and coming Evergreen ProAm driver, Tyler Grimsley, and recently installed a custom M84 kit on his car.

Tyler’s car is powered by an SR20DET.  John built a custom harness, for the M84, for Tyler’s car and now offers it as a kit.  If you have a SR powered S13 and want to step up to a MoTeC M84 ECU, contact us or John for more details.

Here is Tyler drifting on the 5/8ths bank at Evergreen Speedway in his S13 controlled by an M84 ECU.

The applications for this MoTeC ECU will be expanded immensely throughout the next few months.  John Reed Racing, in association with PSI, is working on many more kits, including V8 applications and a supercharged VQ.

Both Kyle Pollard and Andrew Coomes did not leave here until late on Friday night. Both of their cars were getting some last minute attention before their drive up to Kent, WA.

Kyle Pollard is sporting his PSI livery from Ryan Davis and Fred Roman.

Having a new chassis Andrew Coomes’ Rocket Bunny LS240 version 2 is a very nice, clean white.

Both drivers were doing very well. Coomes and his team came out of the event with a third place finish. Pollard’s weekend was ended early with a broken transmission.

Both cars are back at the shop. We will be getting both cars ready for their upcoming events. Pollard will be at Irwindale Speedway for the final round of the Formula Drift season in October and Coomes will be at Evergreen Speedway for the final round of Evergreen Drift ProAm this coming weekend.

As we were unable to attend this event due to scheduling conflicts, we leave you with this photo of Pollard drifting at PGP by Connor Surdi of Connor Surdi Photo and Yaer Productions.

At Evergreen ProAm Round 3, incidents occurred that resulted in Andrew Coomes needing a new shell. Currently ranked first, Coomes needs to have a new car built and ready to go for the next round. With only a month to the next ProAm event, a new shell was sourced and the swap began.

Another 240 hatch was sourced to allow for an easier transfer of all components.

Peter Taylor, a Evergreen Grassroots drifter, came down to help his friend with stripping down the new shell.

The KA24DE was removed to make way for the 6.6L LS2 V8.

While the new shell was being stripped down, the LS2 needed to be removed from the old shell. The Rocket Bunny kit was removed and the car was gutted.

The old shell stripped down.

The top of the old shell was removed to cut the roll cage out.

All the parts from the old shell were removed to be transferred to the new shell.

Work is continuing at a feverish pace to get the new car built and tested before Evergreen ProAm round 4.

Pollard brought his car to PSI to get tuned on our Dynojet dyno by Jason Oefelein.

Jason stayed late and got it tuned.  The SR makes 481 whp and 373 ft-lbs of torque.

Check out this video of the run,

Don’t miss out on seeing Kyle Pollard drifting his S13 this weekend at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA and also the rest of the Formula D and Evergreen ProAm drivers.

Here are some pics from Ryan Davis of Yaer.

Ryan posted a few more and a short write-up on his website, check it out here.

Check back here for when this fully built FD car arrives, we can’t wait.
