If u want this FT-86 to be everything it can be even within a budget u would be far better getting quality performance parts through HKS, GREDDY, BLITZ etc....... :burnrubber:
If TRD bring out any diffusers etc in carbon fibre ill be down with that...


TRD r just over priced... For people on a budget TEIN will out do TRD for any coilover upgrades, Project-Mu would be a far better option brakes wise blah blah blah...... (^.^)

Since your in Cali you're going to need to consult with a lawyer :bellyroll:. Actually you should look for a good tune shop and ask them. I'm sure some of them make a living getting modded cars to pass the emissions tests.

In Kentucky we don't have emission testing. So even though there is many federal laws that prohibit tampering there is none or almost zero enforcement. yay for the Commonwealth.

Well, I don't wanna be a ****, but 90% of the car forums you go to will tell you to "search" for obvious repeater questions(things that have been asked numerous times in Forums) but seeing how this is a slightly diff forum,

That was a jk, and tampering with your ecu must be refer'd to Cali because it's def not illegal here

this. like boostjunkie said, just be glad that this isn't a typical car forum. believe it or not i think this is the 1st time such a question has been asked here.

I know it, about the jet fuel :thumbup:. I believe they scan the ECU, perform a visual inspection, and perform a "sniffer" test. CARB is massively overbearing and they will only get worse. And there's 12 other states with California style emissions, mostly around Cali and New York.

not always. my TRD short shifter w/ knob and TRD head gasket for my MR2 are both bespoke pieces from TRD, very high quality, and unavailable from any other company.
