Wow

Good read and wonderful pics. Love the choice of the Coyote engine.

If only a V8 was an option from Toyota...:D

So awesome, but I hate the wheels. Why 19s?? Makes no sense.

"Nearly 500lb-ft of torque" ??!! O-M-G !! :confused0068: :burnrubber:

I was hoping for an RSR porche engine....but that'll do.

I would absolutely fall all over myself trying to get to GM or Ford dealer if they would pull their heads out of their ugmmm.. design arts, and start building a car similar in size to the FR-S with their badboy engines in them (3/4 size Camaro or Mustang anyone?). Of course, for a lot of reasons that will never happen.


This looks like a great build, would love to have the opportunity to do this just because I could!

I absolutely love this build, too. The fact that it looks unassuming and the Motec M150 retains all OEM electronics is awesome. Motec is always awesome with their ECU and harness looms.

The unassuming part of it is my favorite part. No big aero, no huge wings, just a great car with a great engine.

Maybe because it's got some serious torque?

Who would ever want this thing? It would completely ruin what the car was meant for (To be slow as all get out on a straight line, but to have all the "feels"!). On that note this thing is fucking insane. I'd take this over a 2jz swap any day.

How does a 19" wheel diameter and 30 series sidewall tires help deal with "serious torque"?

Not sure if you're serious or not...

I was serious but wasn't sure, hence the question mark? LOL

Maybe it's because Vossen wheel and Nitto tires were backing up this project, and they gave this set. I dunno.
