phm14 Toyobaru 86 aka Candy O
 

Man, it's been a good day. The hunt for my firestorm red 86 has come to a successful conclusion, and Candy O is resting peacefully in my man cave. I had the car on order for over 2 months, and late last week I started tracking dealer ads online. I found over 30 red 6MT cars by the the weekend, not one of them in Texas. Monday I printed a list of Scion dealers within 250 miles of Houston, and started calling. 41 calls later, I found my car at Allstar Scion in Alexandria LA, and when I asked, they said they would deliver the car to my house at no charge. My salesman, David Cook, along with one of their service guys showed up with the car on time, and with a full tank this morning. Service does still exist, even if you have to go to a small town dealer to get it. This FRS will se a mild street/track build. I'll use this thread to post up info on the mods I plan for the car, which will see some track time. I'll cover test fitting the set of Enkei PF01s I have here 1st, and go from there.

Got around to test fitting the Enkei PF01 17x8 +45s the other day. I find it's easier with the suspension weighted vs full droop:

Please get those wheels on ASAP. Those are on top of my list in same specs!!!

Yeah, I'd like to see the PF01's installed.

PF01 install FRS-Pic Heavy
 

Wasn't sure about the fit when I ordered the wheels. Was deciding between the +35 & +45 offsets this wheel is offered in. Could not find any info on fitment for this size, so I just took a guess and got lucky. There's lots of room for more rubber on the inside. I measured 3/4" between the outside edge of the inner wheel lip and the extra wide stock spring perch up front, Theres much more room out back. The fender lips are nicely tapered up top for clearance. The more familiar I get with the car, the more obvious it is that higher HP FI setups are not an afterthought in the design. 5mm spacers may be doable, but another +10mm of offset may cause some rub depending on tire size, ride height and camber.
