Has anyone seen pat Cyrus 2jz swap? In it he related the radiator to the trunk! So to get air flow he cut some hole in the top and back of the trunk, well my Ideal is to the same but with a ram tunnel connecting that would allow air to go directly from the back glass through the the trunk and drop air coeffient number. Also I beleve it would allow us to hide a wing in that tunnel and increase downforce too.

A front bumper air scoop that covers up the metal carsh bumper on the frs and directs air towards the intake. Like on the 14r60.

Yea if we could get both it would help out, just imagine air moving up through the the scoop creating downforce and causing the low pressure on the front bumper to dissapear then it shoots through the hood and over the roof perfectly down in to a ram tunnel fitted into the trunk causing the low pressure area on the trunk to be bypassed only to collect 8-10 in lower in the back of the car if done right we could possibly drop drag a few points

I really couldn't answer that because I only compete in one area of this platforms abilities and that's the world of drag.
For instance I had custom parachute mounting kits that have been designed for the FT86 not a off the shelf make it work kinda stuff. Also I had a drag cage with removable side bars made that passes NHRA rules that you can install your self. I know of some drifters that liked dual rear disc brake setups that are independent of each other, so those kits were made.
So since I have limited knowledge of what track guys want or need here is your chance to list the things you would like to see.
With this said remember the products you want would be designed to last cnc machined if needed high end parts. No knock offs or cheap parts brought in from some place else. SO lets have it what are you wishing, wanting, or looking for to elevate the FT86 to the next level...

I thought of 1!!! We need more options for grills for the FRS/BRZ!!!! Please make a nice light aluminum grill for me !!

Something that doesn't use those stupid clips. My stock grille has popped loose on me twice now, and it seems like it should be easier to reattach.

I actually saw grills the other day. Don't remember where almost had to be 86worx, frsport, ft86speedfactory, or fteightysix. That's where I do nearly all my shopping

Seems cool, but my issue is definitely more with the attachment method rather than the appearance. If I got one like that, I'd probably paint it black.

I love it when I'm right. Who can spend nearly 10000$ on a wing?
