FT-86 SpeedFactory - Firestorm Red - Build Thread
Picked up our first FR-S. A beautiful Firestorm Red. We will be developing parts for the car along with show caseing many of the other great products made by Cusco, KW, Fortune Auto, HKS, Greddy, Perrin, Ksport, aFe, Injen, and more. We'll be adding a second car soon as well. But here is the build thread for our red one. Stay tuned we should have some parts to show off very soon. The car is every bit amazing as the reviews read. I'm use to Evo's here but the FR-S / BRZ really bring back the aspect of fun to sports cars I feel. Planted, nimble, exciting, and affordable. Cannot wait to get this thing on track and autocrossing. Little comparison next to a California. It really is a mini "Turismo" as some have called it in reviews. Follow us on Facebook! Last edited by FT-86 SpeedFactory; 07-18-2012 at 10:48 PM. |

I know that you guys are mostly about performance, but are you planning on offering any appearance products, preferably non-altezza taillights?

We should have some action shots in a couple weeks at the first AutoX event for the car. We have some private testing scheduled in late August as well.

Not so much on this. We have been busy mocking up designs on our own parts. You should be seeing some releases on a few items soon!
The season is winding down for us and the red one is personally owned by myself. I have a few things to take care of, specifically a trip to Spain, before I can start throwing things at the car. Also, here is a video of a few of my runs. This is one of our smallest venues for autocross, but it was still a good time!

Finally an update on our Firestorm shop car! AEM intake installed on our Firestorm FRS this past weekend. Our Firestorm FRS was our baseline for many of our tests, so the mods were saved for the Argento car, and this thread has been collecting dust. Since we wanted to test this intake on a car with no other mods, it was only logical to install on the red one. Plus, it was getting jealous of all the goodies the silver car was getting! Nothing complicated about the install and everything went smoothly. AEM provides nice grommets and hardware to make sure everything has great fit and finish. They include a cap for the factory sound generator and rubber seals to ensure that the airbox is sealed up nicely! The fit and finish is what you come to expect from a company like AEM. The car feels great when you get into the revs! The engine really wants to breathe and this system gives it a rush of fresh air. When you start creeping up to that 5500rpm range, you can feel an increase in power. Right around when the shift light comes on in the video, you can hear the audible difference. In cabin noise is increased in a good way and driveability has not been affected so far. I have about 30 miles on the system with no issues and look forward to many more That is all for now everyone. Our dyno partners are scheduled to have their dyno back up and running February 1st. So, expect those results in a few weeks, but for now we leave you with this..... Cheers! -Yo [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpDen4KnQwc"]AEM Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ Intake - YouTube[/ame] |
