Fredric is quite safe behind these beefy 4130 chromoly door bars. The cage was constructed by Papadakis Racing and ties into the seam welded iM unibody in many places to provide as much stiffening as possible.
Papadakis Racing CNC-machined this e-brake lever out of billet aluminum where it is extensively lighted.
A Long shifter allows Fredric to row the gears through the 4-speed G-Force GSR dog box. This transmission is exceedingly strong and can easily handle over 1000 hp. It has dog style engagement for super fast positive shifting.
The transmission is fed by a 7.25″ low inertia Tilton clutch on a lightweight Papadakis Racing flywheel with 4 discs to get enough friction surface area to contain all of the power in the abusive drift environment. A carbon fiber driveshaft does the final torque transfer to the differential.
Takata seats and 6-point harnesses help protect the car's occupants. Formula Drift rules mandate that all car must have a passenger seat. The driver's seat has head protection, also mandatory by the rules.
A Sparco steering wheel with a quick release hub sits on a lightweight fabricated steering column. Formula Drift rules mandate the use of the stock dash and the shell of the stock dash remains in the car.
A Motec membrane switch panel mounted in carbon fiber controls all of the cars electrical functions through the Motec PDM units. The PDM integrates all of the current handling and switching into a slick simple package with user programmable run parameters. This is the future of motorsports wiring and beats a bunch of wires, relays, and switches.
An AEM CD-7 dash display gives Fredric all the information he needs behind the wheel. The graphics on the bootup screen are user programmable as well as you can see here!
