I love that diffuser and that wing that mounts differently. don't want to say too much! Mike from MV? Majority of the car was built at different locations and at my home. Mike helped develop his MV lip kit off this car (this is the first car featuring his lip kit) and he helped me develop the widebody we designed for the car. He's an amazing talent to have on the team! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFong Report post Posted October 26, 2012 Yes, this was the car that got me excited. i've been doing this for 13 years now and not a lot of cars get me excited anymore. Yours definitely kept me wanting to see more! I love that lotus diffuser, works perfectly for the car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours definitely kept me wanting to see more! I love that lotus diffuser, works perfectly for the car! thanks ray! means a lot! it's been quite a long time since i built a car to "compete" with... a lot of people are saying that i might not do too well on judging because i intentionally over looked categories like AUDIO/AV. but let's hope the judges will understand the theme and give the car the nod that a lot of people seem to be sharing. it was definitely a FUN experience. tough/stressful... but fun. couldn't have done it without all the sponsor support and a bunch of friends on the west-coast who were rooting to see us take the trophy. all in the hands of the judges now... we'll find out OCT 31st. eeekkk...

Fabspeed_Motorsport Report post Posted October 27, 2012 Wow, very cool. My old shop used to work on projects with the fox marketing crew. he put out a few cars like this for Lexus. I think a throwback to the original initial d ae86 would have been sweet too! Good luck, yours is my favorite of the trio. Based off the stickers, the mod list should be pretty interesting!

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted October 28, 2012 You made Autoblog.com http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/28/scion-s...coupes-w-video/ If we had to pick a winner right now, it would probably be Daniel Song's FR-S GT (above). The Orange County, California resident decided to eschew the typical show car regimen for a pared-down GT racer look. The car features a widebody kit penned by JONSIBAL along with a full roll cage, a Sparco racing seat and plenty of carbon fiber. Song's FR-S uses the same Vortech Supercharger as Toca's creation.

pockmark Report post Posted October 30, 2012 Awesome build! Great mods-I too am wondering how that came in at less than $15,000 without discounts for the media coverage the car would get. A Vortech kit has to be $7,000 new, Sparco Seat/wheel/rail-$1,500, Wheels/Tires-at least $2,500, air suspension-at least $1,000,, brembos-$2,500 on the low end, one of one APR wing-$1,000, exhaust-$700, widebody kit-$3,000, roll cage-$1,500, gauges/switches/console-$600, wrap-$250 on the low end, I would have guessed close to $22,000-$23,000 on the low end.
