Well I knew the day would come... And last week my car went from this:

To this:

Sickening!

Now currently looks like this:

Am lucky I am presently interstate as it was not a fun thing to watch :S

by the time I get back to my home town, the thing should be finished. Widebody and with molded in guards and functional BRZ vents etc..

I will update my build thread here when it's finished, in the meantime, if interested, there are hundreds of full progress pics and details **here**

....sssooooo, you took a perfectly good TRD GT86.... and cut stuff out of it?......

However, maybe the final product may be worth it. Waiting with further comments on finished pictures.

But.... why not just take a stock non TRD GT86?

Rocket bunny.

I would rather have his TRD kit. But everyone has their opinion and they do what THEY like to their cars. Which is why the car scene is awesome.

Especially if you don't throw a big old turbocharger in the car that makes 400hp+ and 300ft lbs of torque+. Otherwise I would feel embarrassed to drive a car that looks really fast but could get beat by a V6 Camry.

Lmao @ the "move over --->" sticker in the window.

He's the only one who's going to be driving it so who cares what he does to it lol.

I can't stand the sight of rivets...

100% agree. There is a Youtbue video of a turbo BRZ that looks completely stock pulling on a Mustang Boss and a Nissan GTR....

They never saw it coming

Already is turbo if you look at the picture, even on low boost a V6 camry isn't going to be passing

Has the AVO kit being removed and a Full Blown Motorsports turbo kit (with larger than supplied turbo) and a fully built (sleeved, forged, etc) engine getting dropped in. Will be pushing 500-600hp.
