Updated 8/25: EP6 - JRSC track test video
Episode 6 - JRSC track test
Speed Academy took their JRSC FR-S to the track, but ran into understeer and coolant temp issues. Understeer might be from the voltex gt wing. Without a matching front splitter, that makes sense. Coolant temp issues were potentially caused by their specific sensor placement.
Even with all those issues, they hinted at a 1:15 laptime. I'm highly doubtful though, especially on Toyo R1R's. We'll see.
Either way, love these vids.

Episode 5 - JRSC Dyno
Speed Academy dynos their JRSC FR-S. Baseline was around 177 whp. I won't spoil the final numbers, but it's pretty healthy.

Very interested to see what laptimes the supercharged FR-S puts down at TMP. They were lapping around 1:27 stock, 1:22 on Rivals (coilovers + bolt-ons), and 1:21 on AD08R's (coilovers + bolt-ons).
For reference, their S2000 ran a 1:23 on RS3's with 210 whp (coilovers + boltons + some brake gremlins). Bone stock Jag F-Type S put down a 1:22 flat.
I think the supercharged FR-S has a shot of breaking 1:20, which would be very impressive.
