JDM meet USDM
 
Can anyone direct me to the link/article where there was a Japanese gentlemen who turned his JDM GT86 into a USDM Scion FRS? It was white, might of been slammed or flushed out, there were some photos of him at a gas station and some tunnel shots too. Been trying to search a variety of keywords, but still cannot find it :/

I remember seeing that. Was that a conversion or an imported Scion? I think he works for Greddy/Trust in Japan.

Now that you mention it, it easily may have been an imported Scion, but I can't remember exactly. I just want the darn article though haha. I thought it was posted on this forum a while back but search isn't helping me with my efforts...

I'm waiting for someone to stick some Buick-style cylinder vents on for a truly flatbill look.

There's a bunch of "Scions" driving around Japan. People swap badges there just like how we do it here. The grass is always greener on the other side I guess.

Large parts companies import scions because it ends up being cheaper than buying a base 86 IIRC.

@ 1086

I think your thinking of Keisuke Moritas car from HKS.

YES that is it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

No problem. The only reason I knew that is because I fell in love with that car also. Makes me think I should have gotten a white car.
