*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.

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. |

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? |

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?
