When Japanese parts company Kinokuni wanted to build a new demo drift car they turned to Shane Bingham and Ewan Paterson of Stacked Inc to build them one. The team started with a 2005 Suzuki Jimny which had a custom tube chassis installed that would support a drivetrain and suspension sourced from a Nissan S15. The engine is a 2.0 L SR20DET that has been upgraded with a Power Enterprise 1820 turbo, GReddy cams and valves. Running on a NIStune ECU the engine produces 350 horsepower which is plenty for a 1,763 lb vehicle and nearly 500% more than a factory Jimny. The rest of the drivetrain consists of a S15 manual transmission and LSD with 4.3 gears.
