I finally saw a GT86 in the UK today
it was on display in the infield of Silverstone - no mods just someone with a vendor I think
so I didn't see a front tow hook pop out plug but I did see what I think is a headlight washer flap you see on volvos and other Euro cars - is that correct?
It had the same two plugs as our in the rear bumper though
it also had the clear side markers as the JDM version
and I can't remember but does our passenger door handle have a keyhole? Thiers didn't
of course it had foglights and the BRZ style rear spoiler

they had a gymkana and drifting event out in the main parking lot too - some cool stuff going on

cheers

Kenny racked up another solid autocross win today, pipping a pesky BMW by 3/10's to make sure the FR-S was well represented. I on the other hand had my worst race of the year, finishing down in 8th. Time for new tires! Chad also came out to show off the power of a blown FR-S and looked pretty impressive. Hmmm, maybe I need new tires plus a supercharger...

Thanks for the updates from the other side of the pond. Too bad you don't have your beast with you to show off all the mods!

They may be pricey but they look very very sweet. Congrats!

Ya it was nice to finish off the season with a string of wins! Better watch out for next year C class! Looks like it's going to be really tight too Collin as with some points lost today me and Gilbert might catch right up but I'm pretty sure you have first in any case! Congrats on a very fast season!

@normancw - so what actually powers the Radical?
This winter I'll buy myself a helmet and I'll save up lapping days entry money and some lessons for 2014

Hayabusa 1300cc motorcyle engine I believe, 210 hp!!

I tried my first lapping school last spring and now I'm hooked.

It's only weighs ~1250lbs, so it's very fast (depending on how heavy the passenger is!). The owner told me when he takes bigger guys for a ride, he doesn't get into top gear like he normally would. It's a six speed sequential (like a motorcycle) and he clutches only to downshift - to upshift, he just lifts the throttle.

I found out my Pilot Super Sports are not directional, so I can swap left to right. This should give me another couple of lapping days for next summer. I'm still thinking of getting some 17x9 with 245/40R17s that are more suited to tracking - maybe BFG Rivals.

For my tires, I rotate them after every second track event at least, if a full day lapping then I will rotate after each one. It very much evens out the wear. I'll be able to do another full season of track and street with these tires.
17x9 lightweight wheels are key, and 245's are a great size for our car.

James' Radical seems awesome. I'm jelly.....

LOL at both of you....

I usually ask "how are you as a passenger?"

Video taken by one of James' passengers:

I thought this was your car (shown in the video still), but its another one with Quebec plates.
Hard to even see who is being passed, as there is a big speed differential in some cases.
