Default So like a few before me I'm back and with a project possibly one of a kind!

So I've been around the block "A LOT" I have had damn near everything from the Hot Rods to the Mud trucks to the drifters and time attack machines (My Photobucket account is just the tip). Full Circle im back here and with my newest bright idea. I don't know if anyone doesn't know about the new Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ how ever some may not know of the rocket bunny kits made for them. Well I saw that Kit and loved it I love what it did for the car and well now we are going to make a kit for the 2gs with a set of now 1 off HRE's that being the centers are no longer made and the rears of this set are custom 20x13's fronts are 20x11s. Any how so I'm back stay tuned will do a seperate build thread as we are trying to get car done by Nopi Atlanta with the kit and drive train mods. Keep in mind the focus unfortunately will be far from VIP lots of power little creature comforts lots of G's and many turns in the future. So here's the small and the skinny pics.

First lexus Sc300 5spd


The first GS 400 vertex



And now the current GS 400


20x13's getting assembled

I cant say yet as to if it will be available plus I'm not currently listed as a dealer here on CL and we don't want to make false claims, wide body sedans are by far more difficult then coupes given the 4 door nature and we want to retain functionality of all doors.

Congrats on the sc man... Remember years ago when we were both "hunting" for a nice gs4 lol? You went and made a road trip to pick up your silver one and I got one from I can't remember where haha. Well here it is years later and I'm still doing the same s$$t lmao... Still searching for another nice gs4 lmao. How's your gs4 doing? I almost bought that car years ago when it was green/before the repaint

My friends are Accelerated performance speaking of frs and brz's. I just bought a 01' 430 and we are looking into supercharging it. they could also turbo my 99' 300 with parts laying around. lol
A turbo 430 would be alot better.
keep us updated.

well if we just had a company that could produce a bracket for us 400 And 430 owners the rest seems like cake work IMO. then adding the Rotrex self contained unit seems like it would be self explanatory.

Interested to see how this kit will turn out. I've never seen it on a 4 door car before.
