Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Legacy Donating Member 2,657 Member For: 23y 6m 25d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 30/11/05 06:47 AM Posted 30/11/05 06:47 AM Here's the blurb:Kumho are keen on firsts and with the increasing popularity of drifting they've produced a special version of Kumho's ECSTA MX ultra high performance street tyre - dubbed the ECSTA MX-C. Debuting with Enjuku Racing at a Formula Drift event in early May, the Kumho ECSTA MX-C produces red smoke when the tyres spin - ideal for drifting then! Kumho developed the right mix of chemicals and now have a patent pending for their colorful compound (they've also developed a compound that produces blue tire smoke). Following successful testing, Kumho produced a limited number of the tires for demonstration purposes. Whether they'll be sold to the general public, we can only wait and see!Would freak the wallopers out eh? kumhoredsmoke.wmv
