No idea on the camera, not even the brand sorry.
Planning to start with an exhaust, possibly the XFORCE system when it's released over here. After that Rims, once I finally decide on a set as I'm insanely fussy when it comes to Rims. And I daresay I'll get Coilovers at the same time as the Rims.
I reckon I'll be pretty happy with that for quite a while but eventually I reckon I'll go forced induction. The kit that interests me the most is the AVO kit, just cause I love the rumble from the UEL Headers

Went down to an incredibly slippery and wet Circuit Club day back in June..
Came off twice, once into the mud which was interesting... At least I didn't get stuck!

Some fantastic shots from Grilo Photography from the day http://www.flickr.com/photos/griloph...7634129028649/

Borla UEL Headers! Unfortunately they have the rattling issue.
Borla is sending out a replacement set so hopefully that sorts it out.

Got a set of TOM's tail lights installed at Garage 88. Best thing I've done to the car so far

Your pics make me with Toyota sold the GT86 in the states (Not converting the FRS into one). Looking good. I agree with the TOM's tail light statement. I said the same thing.
