    I respect car guys like Keith and Jay that appreciate all cars whether it's a hot rod, muscle car, Japanese, Euro, whatever… They just truly love automotive engineering. That's how my dad raised us… To appreciate all cars.

      A lot of the work and parts for this car were donated. I did the livery (print and install) on this car. They paid for my trip to Keith but I donated my time and work for this project. I don’t regret it one bit though. This was amazing to work on.

    • @Mejevoli
      @Mejevoli 9 лет назад +2

      If you were listening, he didn't tune the engine. He just threw all the possible bolt-ons plus the supercharger from cosworth. Tuning boxer engines are amazingly hard.

    • @RyanMcIntyre
      @RyanMcIntyre 9 лет назад +9

      Mejevoli Unless the Otto Cycle has somehow changed for the boxer configuration, tuning the engine is no more difficult than any other engine. Now tuning Subaru and Volkswagen engines in those tiny little engine bays, making piping fit, finding parts - THAT is amazingly hard. I would assume this engine would have similar challenges.

    • @ferrettankror1
      @ferrettankror1 9 лет назад

      Mejevoli You are probably right, it could be an off the shelf map.

    • @ferrettankror1
      @ferrettankror1 9 лет назад

      Ryan McIntyre Well, Subaru engines are like glass, once you start getting knock, they destroy themselves so fast, at least faster than most motors. Ironically, they last a super long time with a good tune. Haha yes, trying to fit a front mount intercooler on a WRX is a pain in the butt because the lack of room :S The FRS might have a bit more, I am not sure.

      @Nexumbiker110 9 лет назад +1

      Yup, there isnt scion in japan so its the ft-86. Subaru wanted a rear wheel drive since they havent had one in a decade so they partnered with toyota. It uses subarus boxer and the design is clearly more from toyota

    • @DMStraylight
      @DMStraylight 9 лет назад +1

      KeepItJedi More or less, yes. The drivelines are identical across all three, but they have different trim levels and options. It's my understanding that the BRZ also has slightly softer, less tail-happy suspension.

    • @gearheadred
      @gearheadred 9 лет назад +23

      Nexumbiker110 Actually Subaru didn't want a RWD so it took Toyota 6 months to persuade them to join them in building a sports car because Toyota wanted to use one of their boxer engines to get the CoG as low as possible.

    2 years on and this is still one of the best looking GT86 / FR-S / BRZ cars out there. About the fender mounted mirrors, Japanese cars produced for their own domestic market used them through the mid-80s as they completely eliminate the blind spot - a great feature when driving in tight urban traffic.

    Love the looks of this car, reminds me of the cars at Nuremberg Germany in the early 70s there were a lot of race cars that I sent many weekends watching them race on the long circuit.
