*Help Develop Parts for the 86/FRS/BRZ Community*
 
Below is a current list of companies looking to develop aftermarket/upgrade parts for the 86/FRS/BRZ. These companies need your car for research and development in order to release products that will serve the entire 86/FRS/BRZ community.

For your trouble, many of these companies will often give you the part(s) for free, or they may offer you a substantial discount on the part(s).

If you have confirmation that a company is looking for donor vehicles, please reply to this thread and the first post will be updated.

This list will always be updated on the first page.
No needs at this time

I believe Pekingduck is already in for AEM unless there was a schedule conflict.

Tanabe should be a good one. If people from the First 86 program don't jump on it, the first batch of owners will surely do so LOL.

Yeah, the car is not even out yet, and the ball is rolling :)

I know that sometimes these companies want multiple cars, and both A/T and M/T vehicles to check and verify fitment, not to mention people often flake, so the more people on it the better.

I'd consider going over to South Bend to visit TireRack.. but it's out of my way, so there would have to be something in it for me.. maybe a discount on some wheels or something..

Don't most of these deals include some "freebee" or something for the R&D car owner?

Any companies in FL? I'd be happy to work with companies to get parts developed for the FR-S/BRZ...first 86 here also.

Yes, most companies give you some form of compensation (free/discounted parts).

I just emailed the local ones from that list and a couple of others. I live in Lawndale, It's Hawthorne/Torrance/Gardena area. All of the South Bay. Does any one know of other places looking for a car in the South Bay area?

Lonewolf 04-30-2012 07:59 PM

Places in Oregon and Ohio now added to the list.
