Not that there's anything wrong with that.... but the quality sucks and is tantalizingly unreadable... anyway!!!

Translated from the guys blog;

"Incidentally, it is a mobile camera photographed this man lightly, rough image is re sorry"

That's from a general Q&A section, hell it even shows a Vitz or Yaris or some other Toyota who's model name I don't care to know in the section.

Also, the PCD is clearly stated in the scans for both the 17x7 and 16x6.5 wheels.. it's 100. Also noted are the weights.. the 16x6.5 steel wheels are lighter than the 17x7 alloys... by over 4lbs per wheel.

20lb 17s.. lol yeah performance..

Dammit that sux. Oh well. Still very excited about this car.

no.. that's mathmatically impossible

205 is the torque and 147 is the HP, just using different measurements than ftlbs and BHP..

I wish it were 114.3 though, that would have made my life easier (and cheaper :P).

Oh well. Normally I would leave the stock wheels but 20lbs just hurts my head.. I'll order something right after I get the car probably

I want the TRD with the Modellista rear. Sux's about the bolt pattern though.

These stock wheels are heavier than the 1st gen tC rims which are 19lbs a piece. Looks like Craigslist is going to have a lot of Scion FR-S wheels for sale shortly after this car goes on sale.

Yeah, oil pressure, battery voltage and a digi clock! Appealing to the eye but overkill for a street car IMO.

I probably won't use that pod and will figure something else out instead. My current cluster is this: http://www.itrexpo.com/users/dave/ITR/IMG_6155.jpg

posting link instead of image directly to not clutter the thread with an OT image.. plus the redline will make the "I want 300 torques" group cry :P

So I'd only really add Oil pressure and oil temp to a more custom mounting solution.. I like my audio....

Look at the scan that shows 3 wheel pics. It shows the wheel specs.. it's 100PCD.

They will be available wiring for it. Buy the 3 Gauges and just remount them else where!

Plus you can see there was another guy (and a dog) standing next to the brochure from start to finish, so the cameraman definitely didn't do this alone.

It may be staged, but I absolutely believe that the story could be accurate. The framing of the table is different in each shot, the pages may all be centered but I'm assuming that was his intention. If the camera had been attached to a mount, that mount would have had to have been moved after every shot.

The legs belong to the guy taking the pictures. It was a cell phone camera, it took pictures in a landscape format when held vertically. The guy stood to the side of the manual so that the pages would fill the frame.

I'd also prefer the probably nicer looking and more accurate Defis or something :P Depends on what gauges/senders they use, but if they are just simple gauges that turn out to be not all that precise I won't want them anyways I also like the warning features of some of the aftermarket gauges.

Just noticed this, but the TRD model appears to come with the same BBS wheels as the Gazoo Racing car from the VLN race.

Nailed it

^ this is the guy that took the pictures

it wasn't staged, it was a cellphone, in another article he was getting his vitz serviced when he took the photos.
