The Canadian tuners at SR Auto Group have released a new version of the Scion iQ that looks much better than their previous Project Pryzm. It features a new Five Axix body kit consisting of a front lip spoiler, custom side skirts, new rear valence and rear spoiler. Addition modifications include a set of lowering springs to go along with the 18-inch Sparco Assetto Gara rims wrapped in high performance tires. Performance tuning was left out, but at least Scion iQ owners now have some choices when it comes to styling.

The guys at Speedhunters teamed up the KW suspension experts to create this 86X drift car based on the Toyota GT-86. (Also know as the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S depending on where you live) It recently participated in the Gatebil drift competition in Norway and plans to tour Europe while being driven by Fredric Aasbø. To get this car competition ready, the guys had to completely swap out the factory engine with a larger 2JZ-GTE sourced from a Toyota Supra.
