ChargeSpeed Bottom Line lower splitter 5 piece set in carbon, also available in FRP

(May 30th, 2013)

Japan's premier carbon fiber body panel manufacturer releases another lineup, The Bottom Line lower splitter kit, available for the Scion FRS/Toyota 86.

The kit is also available for the Subaru BRZ, with it's own specific front bumper lower dam design.

Single 1x1 fine weave carbon lines up very precisely along the seams, and the fit and finish are one of the best in the industry.

For 2013, we chose this for the Club4AG Scion FR-S to give a fresh look, and to demonstrate the master craftsmen's manufacturing capability of carbon and FRP body extension.

* These will not work on Subaru BRZ, and are applicable to USA market Scion FRS clusters with MPH indicators and not for KM/H indicator outside market vehicles. This due to the way these must retain the original backing of the cluster and all indicator markings must match in shape and size with the overlay.

Scion Racing Testing/Media Preview Session
Toyota Speedway of Irwindale.

Ken Gushi and Fredrick Aasbo gets to shakedown thier cars for the first time in public with media present to shoot photos.
We were lucky enough to be on the roster for this preview and will share the photos from this day.

Preparing for the 2013 Formula D Season, Scion Racing goes out to Toyota Speedway of Irwindale...

With several dozen horsepower more on the FRS, and with magic re-tune of KW suspension and arm configurations, Ken seems to be in much better control of the FRS, and gained forward traction in mid-throttle dart from apex to apex.  I immediately saw that from corner to corner, mid-course transitions, the car will grasp the road with the rear wheels much more tenaciously than I remember from last season, and simply put down more of the available power from point to point.

Fredrick seems to be extremely happy with the all-new engine and added power for the tried and true tC, now even more tailored to Fredrick's style of smoother throttle application and less sharp inputs than 2012's Tony Angelo.
It really seems to be a big improvement in driver's connection to the car for both teams, and this means the action will be sharper, closer, and faster than last year.

Together, they are looking already to be in top contention, even on the first day of testing today~!
Here comes Long Beach, just 2 weeks away!
Get ready to be rocked by Team Scion Racing!

RS*R Black-i Suspension - When looking slammed is not good enough

Club4AG's gang gets an early preview of RS*R's new stylish concept Black-i.

Developed for ultimate drop, but working the magic that RSR does with anything, all-in-house built shocks from valve to shell, every piece developed and hand assembled.
You get what you pay for at RSR, and this one is no exception.

We're developing this Black-i for those who prefer to ride lower than the track-compatible Sports-i, but still want to preserve that very magical comfort and high level of precision that can't be replicated with others.

In-House development in Japan and USA, hand-built to each automobile application, and designed for a specific focus of the customers.
And now in a fine-tuning stage for final product for USA, on LA's worst roads to make sure it is compatible for our rigorous conditions.

It will be available approximately in early May from RSR USA.
