So for the bonus question, Tada-San mentioned about lots of factory tuning parts, and they want us to make our unique FR-S upon release. I wonder if there will be a full catalog of all the bits and pieces available for customization, even at port delivery.

Hmm.. the future is interesting.

I'll post spill em out tomorrow/today. I promise. & make it more interesting is, I don't think other US/UK car journalist know about this info... yet



No embargo on this info. LOL I'm just giving everyone chance to watch it and comment... then talk about this info.

ichi you tease!!!! lol wish i could have been there!!!!!:cry:

that's an interesting concept though, using aero parts to adjust understeer/oversteer balance to your liking... i'm guessing canards and wings?

I hope those beans contain the letters h-a-t-c-h! :bellyroll:

lol i think ichi's first post makes it quite clear that tada-san is only saying he will consider making a targa or hatch in the future and nothing's set in stone. i thought it was interesting that he said the mk I looked too FF-like. i had to find a side profile shot of the mk I and compare it to the production FRS side to side a couple times.

Dude, you seriously missed out!!!!! Without joke, this was an awesome event!!!

I think, it's about good time to spill em out now.

Yes, you're dead on! They already shown door stabilizer. He said that, door stabilizer will come with few different thickness for you needs. Also lil canards will be used to adjust the aerodynamic of the car and airflow.

It's not a regular canard either. Let me see here's a good example pic

It's kinda hard to see it but that canard have been tested & proven to be very effective. He's planning to make it that you can install em in different areas of the car. He said that they test em out and said that by installign it in different areas of car (include underside too), it can improve the braking time, turning speed, at the same time, installing in wrong area can make the car shake like crazy, and so on.

He also mention that, by using these parts, forum members can discuss about where they installed it and what effect did on their driving (improved/worse) and bring car tuning more exciting. He said that, these parts aren't expensive (like Headers, cams & some aero parts) and it'll improve more than some fake parts.

I think, he said few other stuff lined up for tuning parts... but he didn't say all of em. I just got maybe 20% of stuff he have plan to release

Awesome stuff, Ichi!! I can't wait to see these crazy aero things in action!

wow that's so cool. canards that you can pick and choose where to place to get just the right affect. fine tuning possibilities are endless! of course, put in the wrong hands, this could lead to some serious rice-mobiles. i'm guessing these are the canards you're talking about?

Yup those are the ones. He was saying they got the design from one of the fish (can't remember which fish) and said that, that fish was most aero out of all. Kinda funny that they used fish aero... but I guess water has more resistance than air

Me thanks that is technically a vortex generator, not a canard, but in the end, it has the same affect, allowing you to change the airflow around the vehicle.

Thank you for the correction. Yes, vortex generator!

Monkey ass paint AND fish aerodynamics? Awesome.

lol that's cool well whatever they're called they look much better and probably cause less drag than traditional canards! :w00t:

regular canards are an extremely effective part in increasing cornering speed but look sooo rice on the street.
