Background

DW Hi-5 – a sweet mix of 1972 Toyota Hilux and Mazda MX5. Part restoration, part upgrade. The aim was to keep the retro charm, but pair it with decent modern running gear, suspension and drivetrain to keep it fun, fast and safe on track. Mostly drift car duties these days, but never fails to raise a smile
