HKS “Racing Performer” D1 FT-86

This is a video released by HKS Japan and captioned in English by HKS Europe. What they’re doing is finding the baseline performance of a basic Toyota FT-86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ. The car has a stock engine but has been outfitted with HKS coilovers and an Endless big brake kit. Nobuteru “None Better” Tanaguchi takes the car around Tsukuba circuit after they pull the fuses for the stability, traction control and ABS. His initial impressions are that the car is light and handles well, but doesn’t have much power. Take this with a grain of salt, though. HKS is developing a GT Supercharger kit for the car so Tanaguchi can use it to compete in the D1 Drift Championship. There’s been footage of the car with the supercharger on, but it hasn’t been used in competition yet.
