Born on the Nürburgring...But you'll never see one there(excluding the testmule), because it's Japan only. Ridiculous.
I've been waiting for this car to be released for a long time, hoping that it would be produced in bigger numbers. Now i can only hope that they decide to sell those parts. I want the whole intake setup!

My answer to first complain, GRMN spent over 3yrs engineering/deleveloping and hand crafted parts countless hrs spending R&D to win VLN 24hrs race and other races, of course it's not cheap. This is why it's limited edition. If you think, you can make better masterpiece that can win VLN 24hr race and other races FRS, then go for it. Gazoo Racing did and now, they're kind enough to sell that 86 (limited production but) to all the 86 maniacs. This is why FRS/BRZ was called "open canvas", you design your OWN FRS/BRZ to fit your wants & needs.
Second complain, don't hate Toyota, but thank Toyota. Yes, they're only bringing into Japan, but they're bringing more edi & parts. What other brand makes more different edi cars than Toyota? Maybe old Mazda (Miata) or maybe Ford (Mustang)? This means that, they haven't forgotten about the 86. They still care bout the 86. As long as Toyota keep developing, more parts will be made... more parts will be made means, more parts for us!
Instead of taking things in pessimistic way, gotta take it oppitmestic way! Do you prefer "Toyota & Subaru will stop making 86" news? I'll take these cool edi are releasing (even only in Japan) news than bad/sad 86 news any day of the wk.

I see your point, but if they apply the same policy than the 14R60(another piece of art IMO) those parts won't be available for the rest of us, so it's a pointless exercise. They basically work and develop stuff for just 100 cars(like the 14R60) and i think that's stupid. Sell the parts and get some extra money for all that hard work.
I would agree 100% with you IF they decide to sell those parts, though. Fingers crossed.
