AVO and DAMD Tokyo Auto Salon Car - Turbo A/T FR-S (w/ LF-A style aero kit) - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

AVO are the best there is at the turbo game if that install is anything to go by

Nothing beats that for a quality install - perfection, absolute perfection. That kit is worthy of being installed on every 86 in existence

Dyno? How is the AT holding up?

AVOturboworld · 01-02-2013, 08:51 PM

We've not done extensive dyno testing yet, and won't be until after the Tokyo Auto Salon. Just a logistical issue at the moment, as in, no time!

There's been absolutely no issues with the A/T, and I don't foresee any. But to be honest, it's only going to be driven around a bit before the show, so I'm not going to claim any definitive testing at this point.

yowzers! so kLeen!

I think it is one of the better looking kits out there right now. That being said, think I would get tired of listening to all the judgmental people pouring on the hater-ade..

Finally a set of side skirts that look decent. By not making the front of the skirt rise up it removes a lot of the "tacked on" look.

I know they are trying to match the LFA here, but I think if the rear of the side skirt was modified to make it look like the upper edge was a vent, it would look better.

It's not too bad looking. I like the side skirts, but dat ass has me wondering where my Evo 3's would go.

I like the look, but can't get over the fact that it's a replica LF-A...

I appreciate the effort and finish of the kit, but it's akin to a kitted MR2 looking like a Ferrari 360.

At least this stays in the Toyota family unlike a Toyota trying to be a Ferrari, right?

Or an 86 looking like an R8.

This just reminds me of the guys who try to make their Civics and Corollas look like BMWs. Its just cheesy.

The front looks pretty good, but the back...
