Vivid Racing?
So after hours upon hours of sifting through the multiple threads on this site I have come to realize two things. 1.) Everyone on here is genuinely dedicated to the growth and movement of the 86 platform and 2.) Many members have more than just an FR-S/BRZ/86 in their garage that they like to tinker with.
Id Like to start off with a little background of Vivid Racing. Since 2001, Vivid Racing has developed one of the most recognized online automotive tuning and parts sales businesses. Starting from a $500 investment and a $1500 loan, Vivid Racing is now a multi-million dollar company with a Global clientele. Shipping parts worldwide has brought us brand recognition in some of the most emerging markets. In addition to Vivid Racing, Rob Rohn and Dan Mermelstein have also helped develop manufacture Agency Power and custom seat builders, Status Racing. They have been featured in almost every magazine about their business and cars they have built. As a company, they have been fortunate enough to compete in several Gumball 3000 and Bullrun Rallies as well as featured on ESPN2's "Import Racer" TV show. Vivid Racing has also built several demo cars including some for Pepsi/Mazda and Cusco/Subaru. As the business grows, so does its capabilities. In 2010, Vivid Racing piloted their Porsche 997 Turbo to 206.2mph at the Texas Mile event. In 2012, Vivid Racing also competed in the Targa Newfoundland rally with their Porsche Turbo S. This closed road rally had us racing through stages on the beautiful island of Newfoundland, Canada. Vivid Racing also started a new campaign of high quality, cinematic videos shared on YouTube beginning in 2012. As of Jan 2014, we have over 11,000,000 video views. Vivid Racing has established itself as a household name in the performance automotive industry to continually watch. Vivid Racing has come a long way and will continue to be there for it's number 1 priority which has brought us to this level.... It's Customers! In addition to Vivid Racing, we own a couple related automotive companies including: www.therohnstein.com (automotive ecommerce and product data solutions), www.agency-power.com (aftermarket parts manf founded in 2004), www.statusracing.com (FIA racing seat manf Made in the USA! Acquired ownership in 2011), www.horsepowerfreaks.com (performance parts retailer and BMW Turbo Kit pioneers acquired 2013). Well here at Vivid Racing we also share those goals mentioned above. With Agency Power in house fabricating and designing 86 components, while also keeping all other manufacture parts on hand, we strive to supply all of you with as many options as possible to supplement that "dream" build. Located in Gilbert,AZ we have aided in the production of numerous boosted FR-S/BRZ builds as well as many other vehicle platforms. The creation of this thread is to keep you updated as to whats going on over here at Vivid Racing as a whole. Thanks for reading and if your ever in the area stop on by and come check us out! We would not be where we are today without our amazing customer base.

Vivid racing are some stand up folks. I used them for all my WRX parts back in 2003, and again for my FR-S parts!
I recommend hitting them up for whatever parts you need. Jacky was great to work with. |

A word of warning: Do not turn this into a "why were you banned here or there" thread.
