LCA they had is a stock, but they used Low Magic by the knuckle to help lower 30mm. Well, GR86/new BRZ chassis is same chassis w current gen. They just reinforced the bottom and lighten the top. It's pretty much same thing as 400Z & 370Z.

I got up close and personal with one of the new cars on display at the track this weekend and the front and rear brakes look identical to stock. Maybe they have a different mounting but I'm doubting it.
So I'm thinking aftermarket bbk will be just fine.

Exhaust is identical too. Only question is still the header.

No spare tire. Just the foam tray to fit where a spare would go with tire goop kit, and a fewer trunk tools.

Engine bay looks pretty identical too. Small aftermarket parts like hood struts, master cylinder brace, strut brace, etc will likely swap over.

Suspension definitely looks the same. I'm thinking everything will swap over as far as coilovers, RLCA's, and front swaybar is probably the same too. Rear is questionable, but I think it may fit also.

Personal opinion, they changed a Lot with the styling, electronics, and engine. The remainder of the mechanical parts seem nearly identical.

Right. But, at 40:39 in the video it shows the rear ARB as the BRZ has it installed. Earlier in the video you can see the aluminum steering knuckles in the front also. I'm going to take a wag and say that the GR86 they have is a very early production model that went out before Toyota made their changes.

Pretty sure that's the case.

Oh sorry, idk why but somehow I thought everyone knew all 6 brands (including Blitz) got was prototype GR86 & not a final production GR86. They got em in Nov last year and was going to present TAS, but that never happened, so they show it off in 86 Style. Several things have changed & even Blitz guy stated that they’ll have to do final adjust for the aftermarket production when final version comes out.

Great article. So would you expect the same HP/TQ bump from an E85 tune on the new engine as the old one? To me this is the big question as it puts the new car just a few HP away from the output of a low psi F.I.FA20 but with more linear power delivery.

Looking to see about 250-260BHP/240BTQ (230WHP/220WTQ)with e85 on the FA24. In my eyes, that would definitely make the new car worth the upgrade for anyone that doesn't have F.I. already installed in the old car.

Do they confirm in the Blitz video anywhere that suspension pickup points are the same? Looking to get some coilovers ordered for my 22

They just said, they're almost same... so I'm assuming they're fraction different.

"Similar" unfortunately is not same as. The small revisions can really mess with things. Like the 2013 to 17 exhausts that almost fit the post facelift cars. They can be altered to work but don't quite do it off the shelf. This of course can be amplified in things like suspension where a number of small changes can start to add up.
