Since fitment freaks love Walker, we will have to give the specs! Rays Gram Lite 57D wheels are 18×9.5 wide with a 12mm offset. The Gram Lights are shod with Falken RT615K tires, 235/40-18 front and 255/40-18 rear. 4 piston Z32 front brakes are used with slotted DBA two piece lightweight rotors.. |
Z32 rear brakes are used with two piston calipers and DBA slotted rotors. The Z32 brakes have an internal drum parking brake which is pretty effective as a drift turning brake. More on this later. |
The transmission tunnel was opened up to the limit of the FD rules for ease of maintenance and this cool tin cover was fabricated by Garage Autohero. A Long shifter gives the GSR tranny solid throws. The drift braking system is pretty complex. The lever on the right controls a hydraulic cylinder coupled to the rear brakes via a check valve. This is the common rally style of a hand rear brake. Walker opted to do this instead of the typical dual calipers. Walker can also use the Z32 rear drum brakes as a turning brake as well. He often uses both in a turn independently. The car is wired up using a prefabricated Painless wiring harness. This includes the Motec M4 ECU. |
The rear of the car has a 10 lb fire system, the Accusump tank and a water tank for a cool suit. The Accusump ensures continuous engine oil pressure even under heavy cornering loads. It is essential for an LS to live under hard drifting conditions. |
A Stack dash monitors engine parameters. |
Walker surprised everyone with his rookie season performance. Now he is more experienced as a driver and his car is becoming more competitive. Like it or not, look out for Walker this season! If you are really his fan, you will like it a lot! |
