RJ Sanchez from Gabba Racing built a unique Fox body Mustang for drifting. RJ skipped the more common motor choices in favor of a Mercedes 3.0 L OM606 turbodiesel inline-six. The motor features a Dieselmeken 8 mm 205 cc injection pump, The Kangaroos Team intake and exhaust manifolds, Tial 44 mm wastegate, and a TurboSystems HTX3058 turbocharger. Behind the motor is a transmission adapter from The Kangaroos Team bolted to a BMW ZF5 five-speed manual transmission. Everything up front is supported by a custom tubular front and K-member by Accurate Fabrication. The company also moved the radiator to the trunk with new coolant lines and custom metal enclosure.
