Default Review for Ishii Motor Industries in Bellevue + Project Mu NS pad content

From day one, i hated how much the stock brake pads dusted. I pulled the trigger last week and ordered a set of Project Mu NS Street pads for my baby.

I had them installed today at Ishii Motor Industries in Bellevue, WA. The owner Steve Ishii is super knowledgeable in Japanese cars, especially Toyotas. He's been a Certified Toyota Master Tech since 03, and his knowledge and thoroughness in my job shows it.

Steve was very open with his work and the shop; he was totally cool with me roaming the shop and checking out the project cars there.

Here are some pics below of the install and of the shop. Note the two beautiful Skylines!

^^ $200 for the install. It was a 2 hour job. It's not the cheapest, but they know what they're doing. In my book, that's all that matters.

And man, I want the FT86 when it comes out!!!

I do want to visit them, what are their hours?
Hopefully their open on Saturdays =)

Off Topic:
I also wanted an FT-86, if they kept the 1st version concept design. But from I had just saw, it doesnt look to promising that I will want it. The fenders flare up above the hood line, the front bumper just looks lame and I dont like how they have the LED's lined up. The rear wing isnt to my liking, but everything else looks spot on.

Here is a couple pics of what it could look like, if it makes it into production. There has been talk about what badge it was going to have. Either a Subie, Toyota or Scion badge.

Screw it, here is the link instead. http://ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=983
If you cant see the pics, let me know and I will post pics here.

I'm not sure what their hours are. I PMed you Steve Ishii's contact info.

Thanks for the link...I didn't like what they did with the front fenders either; it's like a love child between the LFA and RX-8...doesn't do it for me. I too wish they kept the original styling. Maybe I'll go with the Subaru version then And hey, what a coincidence; the FT-86 in the link has the same tires as I do.
