J T Motoring’s FR-S Build

Posted on by

One of our good friends, Brian Hung from J T Motoring out in Massachusetts, has made a name for himself bringing JDM tuning to New England. His latest build for 2013 is this beautifully crafted Scion FR-S.

IMG_3349 (Custom)

When Brian, contacted us, you can already guess that he needed a suspension solution. We were fortunate enough to be one of the first coilover manufacturer’s to have something readily available for the new FR-S, and for Brian, it was a no-brainer to step up into the Type Flex coilovers since this build was more than show. He had performance in mind for this project.  Matched to our coilover package is another new offering- EDFC Active. This was, in fact, one of the first cars in New England to sport this setup. But, this car is full of plenty “firsts” for its region.

By the looks of it, you can see that no expenses were spared. No corners cut. Brian wanted to push the emphasis on JDM and he chose the highest quality for parts that he could find, which happen to be the very same brands he sells at J T Motoring.

The spec sheet has more listed than all the ingredients needed for a Thanksgiving dinner. And looks to be more delicious, too.

J.T. Motoring Built G-ya

Posted on by

Hey everyone, back again with something different than usual. Recently my good friend  Brian of J.T. Motoring in Hyde Park, MA. had sent me over picks of a car he had been working on for a close customer. This is definitely a clean ride.

 

 The owner Bill Petrucci definitely knew what he wanted when he came to Brian. From the Nardi E-brake lever to the custom one-off Project Mu big brake kit this car is eye candy. Of course me being a (Low Down Spec) type of guy I would say that the ride height of the vehicle is not too bad but can always go lower!

 

The interior is set up with matching Bride XAX red leather seats, Limited Edition (Top Secret) Personal Neo Grinta steering wheel with Works Bell Splash hub and quick release matching well with the seats, and  Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi Shift Knob which is a sweet looking knob.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The exterior is sleek Black Obsidian with some custom painted headlights and grill which look awesome. The car is rockin’ 20″ Advan RZ-DF on Falken FK45deuces sitting on TEIN Type Flex’s with a custom mounted EDFC unit in the ashtray.

 

Listed below are all of the mods done to this G. Brian definitely took his time and extra effort to make this G37 S look like it came right out of a Hyper-Rev or Options JDM Magazine. Hats off to him for this build. If you are looking to change up your ride and are in the Hyde Park area, hit up Brian at J.T. Motoring to get you hooked up.

Employee owned: EVO 9

Posted on by

This car has been in a few previous posts. It is owned by one of the staff here at TEIN USA. Originally bought brand new to be a fun daily driver / occasional track toy but soon took on a life of its own. Since we are the exclusive distributor for a variety of top brands (Carbing, Fujitsubo, Defi, SuperPro, and Takata) it was easy to build a quality car, plus employee discounts never hurt.

The exterior is comprised of Voltex bodykit and wing. Volk TE-37 18×9.5+12 with 8mm of spacers on front and rear wrapped with 275/35/18 tires.

Sitting on Super Racing coilovers with 14kg front springs and 12kg rear springs. The dampers have also been revalved with a few “special” parts to test out. Could be lower for appearance sake but this ride height works well for performance reasons.

Power is provided by Tomei ARMS turbo, Cosworth head and top end internals, plus a few HKS parts. You can find out HP/TQ and power curve in the current issue of Import Tuner magazine (July 2010) which go into detail about the Tomei Arms M7960 turbo, Cosworth 272 cams, and Okada Projects Quad Pac ignition coils. Drivetrain is comprised of Carbonetic carbon fiber clutch and carbon differentials.

Interior is filled with DEFI meters, Bride GIAS seats, Greddy boost controller, Alpine headunit, and of course dual EDFCs.

Having fun and testing at Willow Springs raceway in 2009.

2008 EVO vs STI Shootout at Buttonwillow raceway. Ran a 1:59 on config. CW13 with Rob Walker driving on Hankook RS-2 street tires.
