Japanese Magazine
I work for a Japanese company here in NC and we make OEM hub seals and engine gaskets for the major auto manufactures. I'm also half Japanese. Anyways, one of the guys went back to Japan for a few days and I had him bring me back a magazine on the Toyota 86 & BRZ. Man I tell ya, we haven't even seen half the stuff they have for this car! Over 20 different catbacks, different lightweight pulley sets, throttle bodies, headers, shocks, LSDs, etc., etc.. Those cars there are nasty looking! (In a good way!!
 )However, it seems what we have going for us right now is/are a few good turbo kits and some excellent tuners. Nuff said about that!  I have yet to look through the whole magazine. I'll have to let my mouth dry out first... hehe  Just thought I'd share.

I haven't forgotten to post up pics. Just been too busy with college homework. Plus.... I have yet to review the whole book! I know, shame on me... What kinds of things do you want to see?

Damn, I picked up this mag about two weeks ago but was too busy to post pics before leaving Japan
(currently back in the US for training).I saw the cover, bought it, flipped through it, and had the same thought: "Holy Sh!t! The ft86club folks would LOVE to see all these parts!" |
