Not bad if it come out this way in stock form. Anyway I'm getting Crossworth engine kit if it comes out.

1100kg is the weight of the race car. So it'll be closer to 1200kg+ in stock form, depending on options etc.

Shocks are made by KYB by the way. Or at least.. that's what I saw written on the 4 spare shocks in the pitbox.

As the race was getting restarted I was standing right next to the FT86, all cars were firing up their engines.. I started filming and then somewhere very far away I heard the FT86 engine waking up.. it's very quiet haha.

Oh by the way : Same tyres on all corners. BBS wheels.

Thanks for the pics and update Michel! 215's around but was the rear wheels look wider?

Michel · 10-15-2011, 03:59 PM

Yea they look wider don't they ? Couldn't find the offsets on the wheels and I can't imagine them running spacers..that would be really ghetto. I'll just ask next time. Or take the wheels off myself. Haha.

They should be glad, I'm not there. Cuz when the car come back for pit stop, I'm highjack that car and drive off!

but I think, the rear looks wider prob cuz of rear & front wheel offset is different (that's my guess)

The brake duct cooling duct takes the cake!

What's your view on the size of the car since you've seen it in person? From the pics, it looks tiny, like the last gen Celica.

Michel · 10-15-2011, 04:32 PM

Yes it's relatively small for a modern FR car. I think the last gen. Celica is longer.. or at least it looks longer. The FT86 looks really compact, and for me personally it's just right.

how much does the cage weigh? 50kgs you reckon?

SUB-FT86 · 10-15-2011, 05:22 PM

There's nothing like a small lightweight sports car!!! I hope the weight matches the last celica or better. But im afraid it won't because of the Rwd components and the extra modern safety standards since 2000. I think 2650 sounds like a safe bet. Thats 175 lbs more than the celica base model.

Depends on material. They've used a complex cage though, connecting/welded to the A-pillar with thick frames so it's not exactly lightweight.

My bet is ~2700lbs from the dealership with a few options.

Is 215/40R17 a weird tire size?

A quick look through tirerack's website shows that there isn't a lot of tires offered in that size. 215/45R17 or 225/45R17 seems to have a lot more choices available.
