Inside Drift Star Ryan Tuerck’s New Shop: 780-HP Toyota Stout, AWD GR Corolla–Powered Celica, and a V10 SupraRyan Tuerck has spent most of his adult life either sideways in a drift car or elbow-deep in one. Now, with 2026 announced as his final full Formula Drift season, he's built a permanent home for both – a New Hampshire shop that doubles as headquarters for his family-run business, 411 Works, and as a personal garage for one of the more eclectic Toyota collections in motorsport.A tour video posted to his YouTube channel this week gives a proper look at the space. It took over a year of work – painting, organizing, outfitting – before Tuerck was happy enough to show it off. Snap-on came on as a partner and stocked the shop with tool storage and equipment throughout. The result is a working race facility with a fabrication area out back, a Challenger lift, a manual lathe, a two-axis CNC, and a recently acquired three-axis HOS VF1 machine Tuerck stumbled onto at a price he couldn't walk away from.The Cars Living in the ShopThe 1966 Toyota Stout takes up space near the service bay, and based on Tuerck's description of its maintenance demands, it's a regular resident. Toyota, TRD, and Mobil 1 approached Tuerck with an open-ended challenge to create something compelling, which led him to track down a Stout in San Diego. The vehicle originally produced just 85 horsepower as a stock pickup, but after its debut at the 2022 SEMA Show, Tuerck took it apart and rebuilt it entirely from the ground up. The build relies on a chromoly steel chassis paired with fiberglass bodywork, incorporating a Kibbetech tube frame and a Corvette-derived pushrod suspension system reworked to suit drift applications.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe 3SGTE four-cylinder – the engine platform shared with the Celica GT-Four and MR2 – serves as the power source, now pushing roughly 25 pounds of boost and generating over 780 horsepower measured at the crank. Tuerck notes that a hard-mounted engine on a motor plate vibrates everything loose constantly, so the Stout gets frequent attention whether it wants it or not.Parked alongside it is his newest project, the GT411 – a US-market sixth-generation Celica converted to all-wheel drive using the turbocharged 1.6-liter G16E inline-three from the GR Corolla. The powerplant puts out somewhere between 500 and 650 horsepower depending on boost settings, with drive sent through a Holinger sequential gearbox and Wavetrac differentials. Achieving that conversion demanded extensive changes to the floor and a replacement of the rear subframe, as all Celicas sold in the American market during that era were built exclusively with front-wheel drive.The GT411 claimed a runner-up finish at the FAT Ice Race and shattered a record that had stood for 23 years at Vermont's Mt. Ascutney hillclimb during its debut appearance on asphalt back in May. Tuerck has spent the bulk of his career in rear-wheel-drive cars and openly admits that learning all-wheel-drive technique is a big adjustment – over two decades of muscle memory pulling in the opposite direction.His primary practice car is a 2013 FR-S running a 3-liter engine with a four-speed GSR transmission and ST Suspensions at both ends, used to keep his seat time sharp without adding mileage to anything overly exotic.AdvertisementAdvertisementStored in the rear building – which the previous owner built in 2006 as a collector car showroom and still has radiant-heated floors – is the Formula Supra. The A90-bodied car runs a Judd V10, the same engine architecture that spent time in Formula 1, CART, and endurance racing. It sounds exactly like what that sentence implies. Also back there: Tuerck's original 240SX, a JZX100 he hasn't decided what to do with yet, and a GT4 he bought before building the actual competition version.Tuerck's career started on motocross bikes in his early teens, transitioned to drifting on snowy New England roads at 16, and eventually produced back-to-back Canadian drift championships in 2005 and 2006 before Formula Drift took over. The facility stands as a tangible embodiment of that whole journey – somewhere designed to push forward with new builds rather than slow to a stop."I'm not stepping away from drifting," he said when announcing his 2026 plans in April. "I'm just stepping away from running a full championship season." The difference matters. The Stout is still finding new bolts to rattle loose, and the GT411 is barely into its competition life.
