zeitgeist57 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Wow. BEST LOOKING TOYOBARU YET. :thumbup::thumbup: (Tied for Doc's, but yours looks very sinister!) Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Wow. BEST LOOKING TOYOBARU YET. :thumbup::thumbup: (Tied for Doc's, but yours looks very sinister!) Love it! I'll take Best BRZ, he can have Best FR-S. There are some close similarities between our cars (Flex Fuel Supercharged, 18" wheels, coil overs, etc.) but the end results are so very different. I think that really reflects well on the platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Very nice, man. I'll have to live vicariously through you for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looks great, aggressive but clean and not overly flashy. What's the weight hp/tq/rpm on one of these? 300rwhp seems like it'd make that thing a rocket if it hooks! Can someone point me to a good site with info on these cars?

What's the weight hp/tq/rpm on one of these? 300rwhp seems like it'd make that thing a rocket if it hooks! Can someone point me to a good site with info on these cars? 2750 wet w/o driver. Stock 200bhp 151tq. 7400rpm red line. DynoJets put stock ones at around 160rwhp. My car is probably closer to 2800 with the new blower, radiators, etc. I've shaved some weight here and there, but I'm sure I'm not ahead of the gain.

I think that really reflects well on the platform. I couldn't have formulated this idea any better. I've always felt yours was the best looking one I've seen ... now it's one of the fastest around, too. I understand that dealers are discounting new 2014 stock down to 21k. It's a great opportunity for someone to pick one up and use it as a base to build his personalized supercar, as you have did. Well done! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I understand that dealers are discounting new 2014 stock down to 21k. Assuming these are stripped toyota version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Assuming these are stripped toyota version? I would assume so. The 2015 will have some updates so I think they probably would want the 14s gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Nice. Are the front/rear/side ground effects all stock? Front, sides, and rear spats are aftermarket. The rear one under the bumper is technically aftermarket, but it's a copy of the OE option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizin01 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I took a nearby FR-S owner for a spin in it tonight. He was grinning like a fool. I'll tell ya, it's a completely different beast when I can roll off the line and then punch it and break a pair of 265s loose. Bill @ Delicious looks to be doing some great things. Looks like a guy just had his stg 2 e85 car dyno'd today. Looks great. My only concern with the roots kit is the heat generated during HPDE's. Is there much data on that? That would be my reasoning for going with a Vortech kit. Even if it doesn't make the torque. http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq288/efrue57/86/2B602895-8312-45BA-9BBF-E879B83DB845.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the 300 I was expecting, but still a good bit of power in a 2800lb car. Quite a few people track this setup. The intercooler is supposedly key for track days. I have noticed that the runners get very hot. So I'm going to look into some cooling options. There's a vented hood that looks good. But I think I'll try the old trick of removing the weatherstrip at the back first. I also had the crazy idea of putting a couple NACA ducts in the hood to send outside air directly over the runners. But that would require some more work to make sure that amount of air or more leaves the engine bay as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im about 2 tanks in on E85 right now with full exhaust and its actually "not bad" there is a decent amount of torque and pulls well up top. It'll do until I get a few irons out of the fire.

A ride is sufficient, I'm having fun sliding my stock BRZ around round-about's on it's stock prius tires, already have tires on order, these will be intolerable for autocross.
