Not bad!

That's as far as we can push the car on factory clutch, so once he upgrades, I look forward to seeing the motor make even more power

You could always just ask Greddy direct. They're going to know the answer, seeing as they designed the kit.

It was genuine advice.

(Not advice someone else made, and then I passed off as my own)


See what I did there.



I can't help myself.

Only reason why I asked the question is because I already asked Greddy directly about it and they can't confirm anything outside of OEM spec crash beam which they solely developed the kit to be fitted with. Hench why I asked the community of FT86Club for feedback on other solutions.

I have the Drift Armor crash bar on my car with Full Blown turbo kit installed.

The two intercooler mounting tabs that stick up vertically that mount to the stock crash bar. Those same mounts are bolted to the crash bar (behind I believe) and the intercooler is mounted in the same position.

This might give you an idea as to the fitment of the Drift Armor crash bar compared to the stock bar.
