I would love me some of that V8-ness. Eager to see the finished product.

BRZ RA Track ready version

Subaru BRZ RA Track ready - Infinite-Garage



So what do you get with the BRZ RA?
-Race Seats
-LSD
-oil cooler
-tow hooks
-4 point seat belt
-roll cage
-front fascia with brake ducts

 

my wrx has better race seats

 

4-point belts. The automotive equivalent of natural selection.

 

Are they...
DG Flugzeugbau: Do you use your seat-belts correctly?

 

Oh look... its a Cusco (style?) cage O-Fail.

 

I do like the brake ducts, but wouldn't it have been more functional if there was some chin/lip of some sort they were molded into, so air acutally is forced into them?

 

It already comes with an LSD.

Journalism is 100% failboat anymore.

Awesome wheels are awesome.

 

The rest of that article is impossible to read because it's fail engrish. Those wheels are awful. I don't see the 4th point of the seatbelt. Those aren't race seats. As mentioned previously, BRZ already has LSD. Those two hooks are gayness. The only thing that's worth anything is the oil cooler and the brake cooling ducts which are much needed on these cars.

Fail.

 

Have Scibaru announced their intention to build a ragtop version of the car yet?

 

I'm willing to bet they sell the car with those wheels to cut costs for the customer. They know the people purchasing this model will be replacing the wheels and tires with the package of their choice. No point in putting nice, expensive wheels on the car when they are just going to be replaced immediately anyway.

This "track pack" is designed for the Japan market, hence the less than stellar roll cage, seat and seat belts. That level of safety equipment seems to be the norm for Japan track day cars, and may not be up to the standard of what the US customer might expect.

 

Does the track edition come with steelies? wtf.

Edit: just read this:

Actually makes sense.

 

You guys are taking this crap too seriously.

Did you REALLY think they'd put out a serious no-nonsense track ready version with ACTUAL track parts on it? LOL

This is 2013

Half the kids buying these (or having their parents buy them one) don't even know the function of a brake duct, or a lsd, or a multi-point harness


What I do kinda hope they do though, is create something similar to the Subaru wrx TR, or the mitsu evo RS, where it comes with cheaper seats, cheaper wheels, less accessories, and everything besides suspension/drivetrain dumbed down and cheapened up, so the car hopefully costs a significant amount less, and those that are actually going to track them can just replace all the stuff they would have anyway, saving a chunk of change in the process

 

double post

 

i sat in this thing again today....so small.

 

Wouldn't that classify the car as an overhyped vehicle a hipster fanboy would buy?

 

they do make it easy to do an oil change:



so i mean there's that. and if you get a scion, the HU is actually designed as a true double din and you can easily replace it.

 

Of course.
Just like any other scion product with their numerous "factory upgrades".

That's why I'm suggesting they do a "bare bones" version. For those non-hipsters
