I'll be space adapting if there isn't a production change by the time I get mine. Maybe 2nd gen..
tC 1 = 5x100 tC 2 = 5x114.3 (Angry face)... |

You get wheel choice at the expense of bearing life. I'd rather find a way to switch to a 5x114.3 hub with a better bearing

While I agree that the car is beautiful many of the changes just do not make a lot of practical sense on a 2700LB car.
The brake change is overkill. The wheel and tire selection will be detrimental to the performance of the car. Racers, time attackers and autoXers will look for lightweight wheels in 15", 16" and maybe smaller. Optimum tire widths will likely be in the 225-245 range. Wheel/tire weight is the enemy of a 200HP car. The hub diameter change is really kind of unnecessary. As stated before it will prematurely wear out the bearings and there really are a lot of wheels available in the 5X100 size. Plus if this car really hits it big with the performance crowd there will be many more to come. The blue tips on the exhaust....really? I know, I know JDM! But to me it just suggest the dreaded R word. The best news to me is the coil-overs with camber adjustments. Dropping the height about 1.2-1.5" would be my first mod. (world best COG?) The car is a show car and as such it is a work of art. I hope it will be at Detroit so I can drool all over it. Last edited by Rampage; 12-30-2011 at 05:53 PM. |

I admit that I always hated blue exhaust tips... until I saw them on the FR-S, now I kind of want them. Damn.

I like the burnt tips on the exhaust. The GReddy car is a "street" car, a lot of what you are talking about, does not apply to it. The problem with 5x100 is that it's limited in wheels that have a nice offset (i.e. deep dish). And we have to sit around and wait till wheels are developed, but why don't hold your breath seeing as how this is the first car that's really popular to use 5x100. I for one, hope they switch to 5x114 come production, so we have an immediate selection of wheels not available in 5x100. I had a blue tint on my old exhaust tip, but that was created the natural way....flames shooting out the exhaust. |

True but all those things I listed will still apply to any performance car (even a street car). They are just a lot more detrimental to a car with moderate horsepower and (even worse) low torque.
