Updates continue on the freshly repainted Gumout 4586 JDM Supercar from Honey Motorsports and Ryan Tuerck. Next up, transmission and suspension…
If you own a Ferrari, it should be red. And I will fight you if you disagree with that. Clearly Ryan Tuerck and the guys at Honey Motorsports agree, since the Gumout 4586 JDM Supercar has received a new paintjob in the latest Donut Media video. And if you’re too lazy to click this link HERE (seriously, it’s right HERE) to find out what the Gumout is, imagine a universe where a Toyota 86 receives the naturally aspirated 4.5-litre ‘F136’ V8 engine from a Ferrari F430.
Despite deadlines looming and the 2M Autowerks team being ‘balls to the wall’, Tuerck’s reaction to seeing the freshly-repainted Toyota bodywork is reason enough to watch this video: it’s just a few steps shy of The Coppertone Baby. But there’s more to the Gumout restoration than just a snazzy paint finish. New louvres have been crafted into the front fenders to feed air to Maranello’s V8, while BC Racing DR series racing suspension, a new rear diffuser and front splitter, and a five-speed sequential transmission – developed for trophy trucks and designed to handle more than 1000bhp – mark the next phase in the Gumout build. Expect updates on that to roll around sometime soon.
