i do, but blue didn't look to good to me on any other color than black.

and i'm not a fan of the FR-S's metallic black.

Really? I think, blue, white & dark grey would of worked. If you see it in person, that blue is pretty good

you mentioned big brake kits being for looks if it's not tracked. for me, breaks are a safety feature. and the safer you can make your car without spoiling it, the better.

as for the exhaust, i like it because it's discrete and i believe lighter than the original.

Just an honest question, but do the BBK pads need warming up before they start to work? Race application pads on the street tend to be noisy (squeaky), and when cold they don't offer the best stopping power. I had some more aggressive pads on my WRX and for the first couple miles every day, there was noticeably less grab from the pads. (After that, they'd work great.)

Just bc you mention the BBK being safer - was wondering if they'd even be more extreme than my WRX track pads on standard discs and calipers.

a valid point, I would like to here others' input on this.

Ah how I wish I could, but the red tape that'd need cutting in addition to import taxes and everything else that goes along with getting the car here and converting it makes this route a non-starter. Same goes for the euro-spec LHD version

Back to compiling mod lists and saving money...

Then DIY my friend. It'll be a lot cheaper & it'll finish the way you want

Just from looking at the last two tc release series I think it can be safe to say that a push to start feature and specialized rims will be almost a positive

you say that, and if they do, would they go through the effort of developing a whole new center console?

rather than, just using parts from the JDM/EUDM/ Premium BRZ?

I'm inclined to say no.

I figure they'll just give the brz in fr-s clothing, minus the leather/alantra with new aero, and a new color.

No. Integra = rsx the same as IS300 = altezza. The tc and the celica are different cars like an rsx and a civic si are different cars.

It's an FRS with 86 headlights. Something that should have been done from the beginning.

RSX does in fact equal Integra. The same way an FRS equals a GT86; minor changes in trim and such for different markets.

That aside the TC fills the same market as the Celica did in later years; FWD sporty economy car. They may be distinctly different but they fulfill the same roles, saying they are equivalent is not crazy.

Edit: and apparantly the TC is known as the Toyota Zelas elsewhere which is a direct successor to the Celica. Simlarly Ford 500 replaced the Taurus and then the Taurus replaced the 500, same idea, different sheet metal and badges.

"Successor" and "same market" arent "same car". If it were, then my fr-s is a toyota 2000gt

By "same car" i meant sold at the same time, same car almost, under two names to two markets. The f430 is not the same car as the 360, its the sequel or successor. The 2002 acura rsx IS a 2002 honda integra
