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.

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.

Here is a video by Jared Cooper, of Hybrid Industries, from the event.

Loren Haleston, of LoreninHD, was also there taking some video.  He used a RC helicopter with a GoPro.  Here is his video.

With the Formula Drift season ending a couple months ago and local drifting events ending soon, Pollard’s S13 will be put in storage for the winter. Be sure to join us next season and support Kyle Pollard at the Formula Drift events.

Kyle Pollard is planning on attending this event and getting in some drifting before the season ends. He stopped by PSI today to work on his car. At the last event in Irwindale, Kyle’s S13 met a barrier during a qualifying run.

Kyle had a spare front bumper but did not have a spare Koguchi Power front fender. Instead of running without a fender or a broken one, Kyle repaired the fender. He fiberglassed the two pieces back together.

Kyle’s car is looking ready to drift. If you happen to be in or around Monroe, stop by for the last drift event of the season at Evergreen Speedway.

In case you can’t wait to see Kyle drift, you can check out Loren Haleston‘s Formula Drift Irwindale video. Although Kyle did not finish as well as he wanted, Loren did capture some good footage of Kyle and the other FD drivers. Check it out below.

After arriving and setting up, Kyle wasted no time and got some practice in.

Great shots of Kyle burning up some tires in practice. Good thing be stopped off at Falken Tire to pick up more Falken Azenis tires.

Good luck Kyle and all the other drivers.

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 the professional level, Kyle Pollard qualified 21st in his Tomei SR powered S13 but was knocked out by Darren McNamara, who went on to finish second, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This was a good showing for Kyle in his new livery with a PSI theme. Kyle recently got the car finished for the Seattle Formula D event but was sidelined with driveline issues. Before the Vegas event, Jason Oefelein retuned the SR after a few upgrades and it made 542whp.

After the long drive back from Las Vegas, NV, Kyle dropped his car off here. Here are a few better shots of the new livery. We first saw the new livery as Kyle was headed to Las Vegas. Ryan Davis, of Year Productions designed the livery and Fred Roman installed it.

On a local level, a Formula D ProAm event was being held at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA that same weekend. At this event, Andrew Coomes was representing PSI with his LS2 powered Rocket Bunny S13.

Here is an old shot of his car when it was first built by PSI.

The car above was wrecked at the previous ProAm event and needed to be rebuilt. A new chassis was sourced and the work was begun. We worked many long nights to get the new car ready for this past weekends event. We managed to get the car up and running by 3am on Sunday morning. Andrew and his crew made the long journey up and Jason Oefelein and Zach would be following later that morning to support Andrew in the pits.

After a few shakedown passes, the car and Andrew were ready for competition.

Andrew qualified first with his eyes set on a podium finish. A podium finish was sidelined due to transmission failure during the opening ceremony.

Another shot of Andrew’s top qualifying run.

We want to congratulate both Kyle Pollard and Andrew Coomes for their hard work this weekend and want to thank them for representing PSI. We look forward to continuing our support throughout the end of the season and beyond. Good luck Kyle Pollard in Irwindale at Formula D Round 7 and Andrew Coomes at Evergreen Drift Round 5.

The hatch has been put on and all glass is in. The fuel cell is and mounted.

The heart of the Rocket Bunny LS240 is in. The 6.6L LS2 is in but still needs to be plumbed and wired.

Fabrication still continues on the front of the car.

Work will be continuing late into the night as the deadline approaches quickly.
