Legoscar/ oscarverbeek posted 7 pictures on his Flickr photostream, where he wrote:

"Welcome to the Tokyo Drift scene! It is a place where the hottest imports get together to burn their tires off, and that’s exactly what happened to this one. No, I know, I left the tires off of this so you can actually drift with it! There is the possibility to switch between RWD and 4WD, the RWD for drifting and the 4WD can be used if powerslides are not what you’re aiming for."

He also posted this

, and added, "For the upcoming Allround Car Competition Race I made this quick drift car called Tokyo Lime, inspired by "The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift"

Love the AWD/RWD switch. Using the teeth on the top of the idle gear is brilliant (and something lego has never done for some reason, AFAIK).

Are you using one of the hockey springs for the steering centering, or something else?

When you see the car from below, there's an orange block. I find it very likely that it is http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x928cx1

This is an excellent creation. I too particularly like the fact it has a function to switch between RWD and 4WD.

Nice to see Dluders already noticed it, thanks for placing it here! The orange piece is indeed the hockey spring element.

Thanks for the compliments!
