Interview with Tetsuya Tada (Toyota 86 Project Chief Engineer) (from Las Vegas event)
K, here's an interview vid I made. It's only <4mins along, but interview itself went about 20mins. I only put few stuff in the vid. When time is right, I'll post more vids.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ISMCrXIAE"]Interview with Mr. Tetsuya Tada, Chief Engineer of Toyota 86, Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ Cars - YouTube[/ame] VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Question 2. When I ask Tada-san about Targa & Hatch. I told him that, "Targa & hatch have been pretty popular along the forum. Some said, if 86 comes out in targa/hatch, they're willing to fork out the money to buy em. In next gen 86, if you can consider talking about it in your team about targa and hatch options." SO PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE THAT TARGA & HATCH WILL COME OUT. YES, THAT INCLUDES YOU GUYS AUTO BLOGGERS! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WRITING SOME BOGUS ARTICLE SAYING "Toyota is making targa and hatch 86." I just wanted to make clear on the Question 2. As for the bonus part Tada-san was talking about is mostly aero & chassis parts. Good example is Door Stabilizer. He mentioned about few other parts, but I'll discuss about it with you guys. UPDATE 1: As you requested it's time to spill more info I think, it's about good time to spill em out now. Yes, you're dead on! They already shown door stabilizer. He said that, door stabilizer will come with few different thickness for you needs. Also lil canards will be used to adjust the aerodynamic of the car and airflow. It's not a regular canard either. Let me see here's a good example pic It's kinda hard to see it but that canard have been tested & proven to be very effective. He's planning to make it that you can install em in different areas of the car. He said that they test em out and said that by installign it in different areas of car (include underside too), it can improve the braking time, turning speed, at the same time, installing in wrong area can make the car shake like crazy, and so on. He also mention that, by using these parts, forum members can discuss about where they installed it and what effect did on their driving (improved/worse) and bring car tuning more exciting. He said that, these parts aren't expensive (like Headers, cams & some aero parts) and it'll improve more than some fake parts. I think, he said few other stuff lined up for tuning parts... but he didn't say all of em. I just got maybe 20% of stuff he have plan to release UPDATE 2: Now, there are another mod for intake too (sound enhancer). You can change the sound by changing the sound enhancer filter. So if you want the silent quiet, you can. If you want loud, you can. You just change the filter. Last edited by ichitaka05; 04-25-2012 at 03:59 PM. |

Tada-san looks like such a cool guy...
I'm glad you did the interview in Japanese, Ichi! It really got his points across better than they would have been if he spoke in English! The Chris Harris review was kind of confusing, lol...

Yeah, I've notice that, when they try to interview Tada-san in English, I've hard time too. So used my Japanese skill (kind of) and interview him. So he can explain better with Japanese |
