Only The Best Use Federal

[Bullet32]

As a lot of you know, some of us ACT SAU'ers are BIG supporters of Federal tyres and I am always looking for someone to help promote the product...

Federal Tyres are a seriously under rated product that deserve a lot more exposure ---- Thats why I am STOKED to say that the father of drift and owner of Option magazine - Daijiro Inada has built his new project car and Federal 595 RS is his tyre of choice!

These photo's were taken recently at the 2007 SEMA show in Las Vegas and are out of a recent american tuning magazine, the video was at Tokyo Autosalon 2007.

For those who dont know who Daijiro Inada is... Google him and you will see, he is famous for bringing drift to the world scene along with the drift king Keichi Tsuchiya...

Daijiro also built the original Stream Z which you will know from Gran Turismo 4 - a high speed 350Z capable of over 400kmh...

ONLY THE BEST CHOOSE FEDERAL TYRES!!

Old War Torn has had a real relationship with that 350z, maybe hes found a tyre that wont delaminate?

- Delaminated the rears, spun car at 300 while down shifting in 2003

- Forgot to redline the car in 5th to 6th gearchange loosing time in 2004

- With a new WRX rear end to prevent cambering when the car squated in 2005, forgot instructions and ran off the end of a track in qualifying putting JUN boss Koyama-san in a kneck brace.

JUN and Top Secret built the car, not Daijiro if im not mistaken. He just keeps crashing it

Just another update on Federal Tyres...

The official launch of the new Federal 595RS - R was held in Taiwan recently... (See link)

http://www.driftworks.com/articles/Driftin...-Taiwan,32.html

This new development will be available in Australia soon (probably next year) and is a re-inforced, slightly softer version of the existing 595RS, which means that it will be better for circut racing and hillclimb as it will gather heat quicker, but it will still maintain the consistency and reliability of the 595RS that we know and trust.

For those who need a tyre for drifting it will be better aswell as the carcas construction is stronger meaning less flex in the casing... Note: if you plan on drifting on 595RS-R you will need to have some serious power at the wheels because it is a pretty sticky tyre

Attached are some piccies of some drifters from Taiwan and the USA testing the new tyre... Looks good when its smoking!

Enjoy.

I guess that depends on how many tyres you buy...

Old news does the anouncement mean they finally have the showroom up and running :-)

[Bullet32]

Old news??

Well S-o-r-r-y!

The boys have just about finished the showroom and I will be going there to "Federalise" it as soon as I can.

[BNR32t]

any word on those prices???

[Sauce]

Go Go Daijiro!

Last volume of option I watched had him driving in a D1 car with his head sticking out of the sunroof while the driver belted it around the track

Back on topic, I guess I might have to look into a set of these federal doohickies once the rubber i've got at the moment don't stick no more.

Sorry??

Keith wants to know how much you cost Mick :laughing-smiley-014:

I'm pretty impressed with the 595's. I actually feel safe to drive in the wet now...lol

I have not got them to lose traction at all yet.

Thanks, Mick!

We couldn't agree more, we have far better traction with the 595's in the wet than all other tyres we have here put together.

That just seemed like one of those dodgy late night commercials where people get payed to pretend they actually mean what they are saying jk

Ill try em out when the Toyos run out.

I was seriously considering buying the magic bullet at one point
