Your ghettoness is coming out again.
Both pieces are factory stock ones.

The diffuser is supposed to be an factory option which costs fking $600 for a piece of panel from Subaru Japan.

The exhaust tips are stock everywhere else but the States.

One of the 86 buddies took a pic of me at the track. lol

Yes, this is right after the session, so I was about to open the hood to cool it down.





Heavy braking into the turn 1. Look at that 16x16 ride height.

yah stock but it will make the car a lot more "aggressive" that does not go well stock wheels already but when you put beefier tires, it makes it look more 4x4 than stock.

Can you measure how much space you have from the bottom of the exhaust cut out to the top of the diffuser when you get it installed? I feel like my exhaust tips are too big and it wouldn't work on my car.

Actually, I think a stock BRZ (with better tires) can do just as quick a lap time as I could in my 335i because of the weight. Yes, the FRS/BRZ lacks power, but they can make it up in braking and cornering because it's lighter. My friend, one of the organizers from Extreme Speed, did a similar lap time as mine in Buttonwillow in his FRS.

JS and I (TylerT too) were on the same track. I was referencing my lap time and my friend's lap time from a different track.

Yes, will do!

The vendor on FT86 is Advan-Emotion. Should PM them to get the clear confirmation.

Too bad my car will look a little like that white BRZ when everything's done!

I love both look and functionality of the GT wing.

The GT wing looks much cleaner when its base is lined up to the edges of the trunk. So, that's what I'll be going with in the future.

To each his own.

It's very difficult finding someone to swap trunks with. I want to get a WRB (Subaru blue) premium trunk so I don't have the spoiler holes. That or I'm limited to a ducktail which covers the holes.

I hate Subaru for making the spoiler standard on the limited. I actually like it now, but I like the ducktail more.

the XXR revolution is huge, holy crp, you see those wheels everywhere on every car!

PS...I would strongly urge you to do duckbill too, I LOVE the one that Costco posted...or at least pick a GT spoiler that has mount holes that'll be hidden by the duckbill down the line when you finally change your mind

I think the one posted above looks great on a white car & justifiable since you actually track it.

Yep. A lot of 86 guys run that XXR wheels as a daily and put the real ones for the track.

Those wheels are dirty cheap. It's like $600 for 18x9.5 set.

The 17" ones look pretty damn good too and you can just mount the stock tires, so a lot of people do that for DD purpose.

I'm at Longo Toyota doing a car meet. I live 15 mins away from here.

The guest speakers are 7 time Gymkhana champion from Japan, GM of BRIDE Japan, and GM of Cusco USA.

Love this 86 community.

Nice video. I love the Drive theme. Second song was a bit too loud for me, though. Nice 86 as well.

Yeah, the ducktail spoiler with Red TOMS taillight looks sweet. There were a lot of clean modded 86, it was just too cold for me to take pics. It was like 60 degrees.

^^ Also a perfect example of how to do RPF1s wrong.

Im envious. At Miata meets they just give away these.

I like this one. Looks really sharp with those wheels.
