I want to say the rear is more stable when I'm breaking traction, but I haven't been to the track yet since the endlinks and braces were installed.

No didn't hit my head .. Plenty of wiggle room in the cabin.

Went for a drive over the weekend and took some more footage, I'll edit and post it this weekend hopefully. Going back to Infineon in a couple weeks to do some more sliding. So I'll have more vids then

Only new update is that I debadged the "FR-S" from the trunk. JDM Toyota emblems will be at my door around the end of this week or early next.

New parts I'm considering is a Cusco Front strut tower brace w/brake master cylinder brace, Apexi drop in air filter, and some Stoptech brake pads.. The oem pads don't bit as hard as I'd like..

Signing up for a open track day at Thunderhill on August 24 with NorCal racing club. Only $130 and you get decent track time. Should be a fun day.

Mmmm Toyota badges yessssss! I assume the GT-86 gets nicer stuff like all JDM cars, but what exactly does it get over the FRS? Just curious.

To my understanding, the "GT-86" is a Europe special edition. The Japan car is simply called Toyota 86. But they get all the options that we didn't get: leather seats, push start, fog lights. Things like that. Scion USA will have more accessories soon, like the fog light kit, and more TRD parts, but for now there's not much. I'll get the Fogs for sure and maybe the US TRD exhaust, but sadly have to wait for such things

Wow your car looks amazing! Loving the Toyota badges Do you feel like that 16mm rear bar made a difference? and would you also recommend going with a front bar as well to balance it out?

Cant wait for more updates.
Thanks,
Rick
