Question from California
 

Hi Friends,

I was thinking about how many quality aftermarket manufacturers are located in the western US and I began to wonder if my EU counterparts benefit from the same kind of service. Do you have many manufacturers that are EU domestic instead of having to order aftermarket parts from Japan or the US?

Most things i can find are fron Japan or the US.
Altough In the UK there are some very good aftermarket company's
I think Fennspeed is the UK based company that made the turbo mod to boost the power of the engine considerably (video on youtube)

The BRZ/FRS/GT86 aftermarket in EU is really small. Most of the stuff that you can find in EU's aftermarket shops comes from US or Japan. Imported...
In UK you can find some aftermarket shops keeping a quite good quantity of aftermarket parts, but most of them are from US and Japan.
However, most of the good stuff is only reachable through US vendors shipping to EU by mail. Unfortunately the shipping from US to EU is quite expensive for bigger parts. :(

EU's aftermarket is more oriented in EU cars, like BMW, VW, Mercedes, Audi and so on. No joy for us, owners of the GT86/BRZ/FRS.

The main reason I think, is because of all the technical conformity and certifications you need, to be street legal here in EU. :S

Here in spain we have 2 companies that make exhaust to 86/Brz
One is called duramas and the other is called don silencioso
