Either way, that's great you're pushing head first into the FR-S because its promising for the industry.

Somewhere in there, but we'll have a couple of really nice options at different price points.

One caliper might be solely for the e-brake.

The process & finished product are cool, but they have nothing to do with a production model.

Can anyone tell what tires these are? Can't really see clearly with work computer. From my guess it looks like a 285/35ZR19

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo. Not sure why they went for those instead of the R-S3.

Probably because they wanted a tire that was less grippy than the R-S3 since this car was made for drift competition. It would be a shame to destroy so many sets of R-S3s when they're not even properly put to use.

you don't need a lot of gears when you're building a car to function within a specific speed/power band range

race car =/= street car

just86 · 02-28-2012, 10:50 PM

Not only front end. Whole wide body kit is amazing!!!

peazs · 02-29-2012, 04:37 AM

Are larger wheels (19's vs < 19) better in this case?

Jah1mon · 02-29-2012, 07:24 AM

Any information on what it takes to fit a ej engine within this car?
