This is what i need for my BRZ.....Sounds Awesome!
Cosworth Stage 1.3 Kit.
Cosworth Stage 1.3 Kit.
With Stage 1.1 it provided a direct replacement cat-back exhaust, air filter, thermostat and custom Cosworth ECU calibration to lift the stock peak power output by 23hp. With Stage 1.2 it adds a tuned mid pipe exhaust with integrated Helmholtz resonator to deliver an additional 5hp and a much improved exhaust note. Now with the Stage 1.3, it completes the Power Package by including a lightweight, thermal barrier coated exhaust manifold that maximizes airflow to deliver the full performance uplift of 40hp at 4,100 rpm and peak performance of 230hp.

I will be looking into the Cosworth kits, it be nice to have my car with a nice 230 hp before going overboard and trying to get it to 380 hp.

Video recap of day 2 at the SEMA Show 2014 where the winner of Scion Tuner Challenge was chosen. Watch Keith Charvonia of Speedhunters take the win with a $10,000 check for his Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 build.

Matt solicits random people from the internet to make One-Take films with their cars. Today, it's TJ Hunt (Check out his Channel) and his E85 BRZ with coilovers and sticky tires! It's a cold morning in the canyons so the road is slick, but let's see how it goes.

NATS Extreme Toyota GT86 Has A Vent, A Door?
What happens when you cross a Lamborghini with a Toyota GT86? You get the NATS Extreme 86 at the 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon.
As a project from the NATS Japan Automobile School, this Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S in North America) is inspired by Lamborghini styling, with sharp angles and aggressive body lines that look a bit out of place for a sports car that has a curvaceous style to begin with. Nonetheless, you have to applaud the effort and craftsmanship that went into the project that sports 19-inch wheels wrapped with Hankook Ventus V12 evo rubber and JIC Magic suspension.
Unfortunately the performance of the GT86 doesn’t match its aggressive looks as the engine has been kept stock. According to the website listing for the car, the idea behind the build is to have a “four-seater to go out shopping with family luggage also packed.” It’s referred to as a “super car,” which hints that it was inspired by Lamborghini styling – and if that was the goal, then it’s hard to argue that it wasn’t achieved.
