No, the changes are only at mid-life-cycle, not yearly. I havne not told the GT86/BRZ changed anything. But maybe it will. I have not talked about compaigns. What out, your lack or reading and comprehension skills are showing.

Love this car

You are correct, I cannot comprehend your spelling and sentence structure...

I can't begin to describe how much I want this. Or at least some of it. I love that TRD is doing real aerodynamic testing, I really want to see what they've done under the car. There was a brief shot under the car in the video about a year ago, but it looks like they have done a lot more in the aero department with this latest version. That rear diffuser looks hellafunctional.

I know this is just being used as a test-bed, but I would do ALL the aero bits, including the hood and front "ram air(?)" scoop. It looks like all the air going through the front is channelled either into the engine, or through various radiators then out the hood, with no air going under the car, or into the engine bay even. Does the entire assembly act as the front bumper beam (at least I didn't see a bumper beam anywhere, looks like a new one at the rear though)?

Internal engine modifications? I can't afford them right now, so while it's great to see TRD working on more power, I can afford aerodynamic bits one piece at a time, but not pistons and labour. I don't even want to guess what the cost would be to change pistons, con rods, cam shafts, bearings, etc, etc. Cheaper to make the car lighter and more slippery through the air at the moment I think. Power can come later. The TRD catalogue has some of the things on the Griffon, but not the bits I'm really interested in.

I don't think the first Griffon iteration had a square set up for rims and rubber. I thought it was a typo at first, but they do look square in the video. I think there were 3 different rims in the video, none of which were the Volk ZE40's. But the mention of them really has me wondering what bronze ZE40's on a black car would look like. I think I'd prefer to go with 18x8.5 45 with 245/35-18 all around though.



Toyota / TRD – if you're listening. Please make these parts available in North America, once all the testing is done.



I WANT!

Even if they don't release these parts in the Usa, i always get my japan only parts for my Ae86 from Ep Importers. Really great guy. He also has a facebook page.


I love how Trd keeps evolving their Griffon car.

[86_IT]

Now all we need them to do is release the parts.

[weederr33]

I don't care about anything else on that car, just give me that front bumper, NOW!

[Chad86]

Are the intake duct and hood available TRD parts?

[sato]

I just love that rear bumper, diffuser and center muffler...
