Re-watching this again. I have wanted to do the targa Newfoundland event ever since I first heard about it, several years ago.... I also happen to own an FRS I purchased new in 2013. Now all paid off and lightly modified along the way, I still entertain ideations of doing the Targa in my car.... this little video series of your Targa adventure is one of my very favorite you tube adventures. Between this and the 930 videos, Speed academy is among the best that you tube has to offer!

This is great looking back at how far you’ve come!! The head to head competitions are amazing and hilarious!!

[Angel-HC]

I'm curious to find where the limit is of the stock sized brakes myself, especially on a stock power car.

loved the music, seen the video its from like a thousand times what a catchy beat

[samdefoe]

Do you need to upgrade master cylinder after installing the big brake kit?

[corporalwaffles]

Nice tutorial! Just curious what song do you have in the videos?

[priceverity]

Watching this video makes me so glad Dave grew a full beard. 😂

I have those same brakes! I am curious if you guys run them through the winter? (With all the salt and crap on the roads and no dust seals)

Hi.
Were those the OEM Coil overs that you removed?
AP brakes FTW!!

[DavidJames]

Question, if these parts are top of the line and are strictly for competition. What would you recommend as a "Level 1 Starter" for the braking and suspension departments? Cross platform Autocross/Track/Drift.

How come no discussion on the Ferodo pads you where using? For shame lol

Awesome video guys. Did you guys upgrade all 4 rotors and front brakes only? Most kits that I have seen for sale on enjukuracing/evasive motorsports have been primarily front brake upgrade kits. Does the kit include 4 rotors for each wheel+plus two front brakes? or are the second set of rotors purchased separately? When i read the description of the products they always state, "Two piece disc assembly" but it does not state how many two disc assemblies are included. This would be my first time purchasing a brake upgrade, just want to make sure I do this properly. 

Also, do you guys prefer semi-metallic brake pads or ceramic brake pads? I've always heard ceramic were great until recently I ready that semi-metallic has improved bite and increased temperature threshold.

why do you have to turn everything into a race re: getting in the car the quickest or taking the spring out the quickest? what is this a game show?

3:28 Good thing this isn't a customer's car.

[Ricobaca]

thumbs down because of rhe money shot at the end

[Alexandrino_Auto]

You guys are cheaters! 😜 Your race didn't include removing the brake line or the ABS wire, which is a nightmare getting those clips out without mangling them.
