Neo Scion Fr-s

Hi all
My name is Max and i am a director of Scion at my toyota dealership

i currently own 2 ae86 , one is my racing/time attack car

and this is my Fr-S

sorry for the crappy picture

we put 235-40-18 x9.0

i did a trackdays last week as was amazed by the handling

i think the car is missing about 30hp and a good suspension but that will come later

well since its not my personal track car i didnt put agressive tire, i went with some continental DW and i was surprised that they did pretty well on my race day.

i however would have prefer smaller tire like 17inch on Rs3 or azenis

i'm 100% sure i would feel it

i have a track ae86 with a blacktop, megasquirt and lots of parts, doing about 185hp.

i'm use to underpower car and when you need to accelerate getting out of a curb, i was missing that 30hp and maybe a cut off at 8000rpm
