Pat Mordaunt – Formula Drift Round 1 Recap

It was a wet and rainy weekend for the drivers at Formula Drift Round 1 in Long Beach, CA. with track conditions so bad that Formula Drift decided to cancel qualifying and seed the bracket based on the 2015 season standings.  Pat Mordaunt took to the tarmac in his Nissan 350z against “Mad Mike” Widdet in his Mazda with Patrick having an excellent lead run with an advantage but unfortunately Mike created a gap in the second run pulling a victory over Patrick.  Patrick and his team is looking forward to Round 2 May 6th-7th at Road Atlanta and hopefully some dry weather!  Check out some shots from Long Beach, CA. of Pat and his 350z on Konig Hypergram Flow Formed wheels.

Super Street’s 16 Scion iM Project

A few months ago Super Street took delivery of the 2016 Scion iM and it didn’t take them long to show what lowering the suspension and a set of wheels can do! From Super Street’s perspective the Scion iM is a practical every day car with no need for the tens of thousands of dollars to be invested for a full blown show car. Instead the iM has gone through a budget friendly Stage 1 upgrade resulting in much better handling, grip and looks.

Now sitting on Konig Oversteer wheels in a Opal finish at an 18×8 sizing up from the factory 17×7 giving the iM a sportier look and feel. The Oversteer wheels have been paired with high-performance all-season Falken tires along with RS-R Down Sus springs for better handling and a conservative drop for everyday comfortability. Head over to Super Street Online for the full Stage 1 build for the 2016 Scion iM!
