JIC’s S14, shown at this year’s Auto Salon, wears Do-Luck’s Aero Vivan body kit and JIC coilovers. The smooth, flowing lines naturally enhance the S14’s shape. The owner is Baisho, who explained the suspension for this feature. He is keen on drifting and reportedly drives very aggressively at track events. The car is fully set up for drifting: beneath its understated appearance is an extreme drift machine.
