Tuned Scion FR-S Chosen as Next Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Car for Long Beach GP - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Interesting, on pressroom.toyota.com there is a link to a youtube video with Ken Gushi talking about the cars. He mentions that all the TRD parts will be available... including...

Coilovers (look like Eibach Pro-Street or R1s)
BBK (looks like StopTech)
Wheels (18" x 7/7.5")

I believe that is the spoiler that was seen in the promo material for the FRS. It should be available soon.

You have great taste in tires. the RE-11 is one of the best street tires I have ever driven on and I have driven every major brand/model.

This car is how they should be optioned from the factory minus the livery obviously.

Huh, they finally decided to use the FR-S. I remember talking w one of Scion rep about that. They weren't sure what to do with all the FR-S they used to media/ car journalist and they were thinking about using them in Pro/Celeb Race.

MikesFRS · 02-07-2013, 01:05 PM

This is great. Just what I was hoping for when I first heard about this car. Do they have a list of celebrities racing? Would be cool if they used the cast from expendables.

They are stickers or headlight replacements. In many series the lights have to be taped or removed in case of an accident there isn't broken shards all over the track.

They should invite all the 1st86 back for the premier and anyone with a matching color should get to take a lap or two....

Yea, that's the ticket...
