Teacher's Pet - Clement's RPS13

Clement is a teacher and he drives a boring Toyota Corolla. NOT! Well, the teaching part is true but his chosen ride is definitely more exciting than a run-of-the-mill econobox. Rolling to school in a RPS13, the swoopy coupe's good looks are further enhanced with a URAS body kit and 17 inch Volks Racing rims to present an authentic JDM drift look.

Committed to improving the breed, Clement executes the pre-requisite SR20DET swap and throw in HKS 256in/264ex camshafts, HKS valve springs, Tomei rocker arm stoppers, Tomei 1.5mm head gasket to the already potent Nissan inline 4 pot engine. The stock turbo is politely shown to the trash bin to make way for a Garrett GT2871R ball bearing turbo. Engine management duties are handled by a Power FC D-Jetro, which replaces the stock Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor with a Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor, with twin advantages of more accurate mapping and better fuel efficiency.

Tuning is done by renowned tuner Fuguwara-san from ST Power, with the end results being 400 horsepower at the crank. To keep a firm grip on all the extra power, the puny stock brakes are uprated to R33 GTT 4 pots up front and Cefiro 2 pots out back paired with steel braided hoses.

Surrounded by a sea of MPVs and family sedans in the school parking lot, Clement's RPS13 flies the tuner flag proudly. Somehow, I am sure his students approve.
