I think they started with the RA spec. This thread is about the "RA Racing" spec.

Does anyone know if those center caps are an order-able item? I'd love to have some for my winter steel wheels.

I wanna see more of that oil cooler!

Why does a race car have seatbelts, carpet, air conditioning, a stereo, and power folding mirrors? Is this kind of like a Porsche GT3 car?

dorifuto · 01-25-2013, 11:03 AM

America always gets hosed on the cool cars. Take the ford focus rs for example. An American car company that won't give america the cool shit.

has seatbelts because they probably cant sell it without them.. why would they provide harnesses when you would be choosing what harness you want.
power folding mirrors because japan... small tight places to park.
everything else is easy to remove.
you could ask why include seats or door panels if thats the way you are looking at it?

Great post @switchlanez but you forgot to mention Gazoo. This is their baby that was released at TAS 2013.

This car and the 86 will be part of a "one make" race series that Toyota, Subaru and Gazoo will be putting together this summer.

The only thing that I see you missed is that new to the normal RA (Race Altered) spec is the car will be available in any of the colors - SW, GB, RB, LR, SS, DG and CB.

It will just be a matter of time before Subaru and Toyota have the oil cooler and other parts info on their respective sites.
Here's another link to the 86 version - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20633

Yap, thanks for the extra info. You first noticed the oil cooler for this spec in the TAS BRZ pictures thread...

Beyer Subaru · 01-25-2013, 12:45 PM

Yep, caught that but derped on the brake ducts right under it.
