Thanks! Looks like we'll be focusing on suspension and brakes, then moving onto the aesthetics. This thing is probably going to be tracked...a lot. :happy0180:

We were pretty busy that night. Tables weren't flipping and walkins had about a 2 hour wait, but i can always find people spots at the bar.

sweeet! what are your plans for suspension and brakes?

I'll be posting a group buy soon for my Saturday, April 6th Autobahn event. I am hoping for a strong FRS/BRZ presence! Hope to see you there!

Hey Jimmy, It's Austin. I work here at GT Motoring. The FR-S will be there for sure. Any students who want a ride in the car are welcome to one. It won't be going as fast as the s2000 as I'll be feeling the car out for the first time, but Im sure it'll still be a fun ride.

As far as suspension goes, we will be running AST 4150s with HVT no-lift top hats. We will be seeing what we can do with the stock brake system first before thinking of upgrading. Phase 1 will consist of SS Lines, Motul 660 fluid (or castrol SRF), Project Mu or Cobalt pads, and probably APR ducts.

If for some reason that brake setup doesn't work, we will explore other options.
