You may have misunderstood my point, I was referring to a retrofit kit for an electric engine, not a full platform design.

You are years and years away form getting the new engine for any sort of reasonable price anyway

The batteries would be visible in the rear deck lid. Lol

These are parts bin cars through and through. There will be a whole lot of overlap. But it'll be the enthusiasts that unravel the like parts as I'm pretty sure the part numbers will change slightly for respective model lines.

More STI level parts please.

Your current wheels will work (even aftermarket 17” units in place of the optional 18” the new car has), and I got a 80% confirmation on suspension parts - namely your old coilovers will work but sway bars, end links, etc might not.

I asked the Toyota reps a lot about this with varied certainty on some answers...

I ignored engine/exhaust quesitons assuming most wouldn't work being this is a different drivetrain. I figure this stuff would be a suprise bonus if it did carry over.

Wheels will work - the car is going to come with 17x7 again on the base model, and 17x8 on the premium trim. The 5x100 is sticking around again, and there isn't any issue with the premium being fit with 17" wheels (i.e. brake clearance).

The suspension pickup points are SEEMINGLY identical. The team confirmed this, so coilovers should work on the new car. The weight changes in the new car are very minor so I would assume that this would work without any detriment.

HOWEVER, the rear sway bar assembly/mounting/etc are very different - those won't work on the new car (no word on the front sway bar).

All in all, wheels and coilovers seem to work just fine which (lets be honest) are the really expensive parts we don't WANT to buy again. I feel that's pretty good, all things considered.

Curious if BBKs for 1st gen will fit and work correctly (wrt brake bias, etc.).

I believe they've changed the front knuckles to be aluminum?

This vid shows & explain a lot of info on what parts are from 1st gen vs new gen.

& some have asked. Yes, wheel bolt pattern is 5x100. In the vid, Blitz staff even confirm his info as well.

@ichitaka05 In that blitz video, are the rear LCA shown stock, or did blitz do those? Also if all the other press release stuff is to be believed, that looks like a BRZ chassis with a GR86 body on top.
