Nice catch, we need those! For daily it doesn't bothe me, but once you put helmet on its a pain in the neck! I do the flip around trick, but its not ideal & looks goofy.

wonder if there is a TRD voltage or ECU correction on the MAF being moved downstream.

I guess these will be the more affordable North American TRD wheels. I really wanted the Sf2s but they're too costly. Hopefully these ones are fairly light weight.

Right after the race probably. I don't see why they can't auction them for charity. If ur looking for a new one built like that I don't think that's happening.

Yup. They most likely did this to accommodate the drivers' helmets.

Hehe, I can see it now: "Multiple FR-S crash when celebrity drivers turn TC and VSC sport buttons OFF". I imagine they'll have a couple automatic cars for those that can't drive stick.

I haven't pulled it out and looked so I could be completely off base, but is that something you could accomplish just by adjusting the bend in the posts?

Also, if you haven't tried it, the rest will turn completely around, designed that way to accommodate a helmet.
