Will Parsons shaking down his S2000-Powered Corolla at Irwindale Speedway












We caught up with Will Parsons in his AE86 Toyota Corolla this past weekend at Round 1 of Xtreme Drift Circuit at Irwindale Speedway. For the 2011 season, Will swapped in a completely new engine setup out of a Honda S2000 which he then proceeded to turbocharge. Raising horsepower levels beyond stock requires upgrading the drivetrain, and we were there to lend a hand. Will’s new powerplant features a Spec Clutch and matching Flywheel. Here are a few snapshots of Will sliding around the “House of Drift”. Stay tuned for a video of it in action!
