- Hello Sub2club
Meet Chris and Son at Formula S,
I have previously interviewed Son with his formula S S2000, but had to go back and check out their shop's new GR86 platform. This is another longer video but I appreciate every little details of this build! And really appreciate Son and Chris for sharing the blazing fast 1:53 lap time recipe. This, of course, involves amazing driving by Son. Hope Formula S continues to make great progress with this car and perhaps follow up when #sub150 is reached!
Check out their website and if you watch the entire video, there may be some perks for all you s2000, GR86 owners in SoCal!

I accidentally edited out chris’s comment “sway bar is the last thing we do.” Putting emphasis on good shocks. Hope you guys enjoy the video!
Nice GR86! Was surprised it was in the 53 sec range, but at 2550 lbs with 235 whp, it makes sense. Interested to see how much faster you can go with a relatively simple build.
I think there are few 1:58-59 range cars with just tires/wheels and brakes pads, (possibly w/ coilover). I believe son ran 58s with that setup. But yes, pretty simple setup doing 53s already.. Seems to be a solid platform!
That is a pretty simple build
thank you for this video!
Thank you 🙏
23:43 looks like the jam nuts on his Cusco arms like to come loose. I've been fighting that on my car.
Hmm are you sure you had it super tight?
@@Sub2club I did my best, lol. Access is pretty tricky. I even got some thin stubby wrenches and hit the handles with a hammer and still had them back off. I resorted to blue loctite and i think that kept them in place. We'll see if they ever move again tho. 😅

Hey! I love amber side markers! Funny enough in Japan it’s becoming popular to swap to US ambers
Haha, for sure!
and USDM Evos had clears so we all swapped to JDM ambers.
I think it depends on what color paint you have. I like the amber on pavement grey but any other color I would go with clear I think
Ambers all the way.
The box in back is the amp for the rear speakers. I believe you can remove it and still get power to the front speakers. Also, is that a Zest wheel setup? Love the build!
Thank you! Sorry what is Zest wheel?
@@Sub2club My bad Zestec wheel. The button setup…
@@Pursuit_Of_Speed ah.. this is frogdrive unit from japan I believe
Good~~~~!!!! I also drive a GR86 for track use in Korea.
반갑습니다! 봐주셔서 감사해요!
@@Sub2club 엇 한글 답글이라니요 깜짝놀랐습니다
Where can I find Apex parts? Do you mean Apexi? I have the dry carbon Varis hood. It is lighter, but only a few pounds. Same with the carbon roof. Mainly purchased the hood for cooling with forced induction and looks good.
Christopher, where did we mention Apex? It would most likely have been Apexi, unless we were talking about apex wheels?
@@Sub2club The headers and exhaust. I have a titanium exhaust. I'm still looking for headers, front pipe/overpipe for harrop supercharger. Wondering if titanium headers would crack. Basically looking for lightest possible as the supercharger will add weight to the front of the car. Catless would be deafening with my exhaust, but catted headers would be restrictive. So hard to choose a combo. Just wondering what you went with or recommend. Thanks
@@christopherchase8405 give formula s a call!
Apexi can be pronounced apex
Nice GR! Does the resonator delete for the intake increase or decrease power?
Sorry not sure, would be best to dm these guys about that.
Does the honda s2000 oil filter bolt right ✅️ up or is it modified to fit the GR86? IF so please share info!😂
I believe direct fit!
@@Sub2clubI’m a Honda guy since the 90’s Subaru and Honda uses the same part number for their oil filters. I have always ran Honda oil filters on my Subaru. Maybe that’s why I never blew my motor also.
@@BETTALIFE101 haha 😂 magic!!!
Does anyone knows if the Synergy 2.4L V8 fit inside this car like it did in the GT86?
That would be a cool swap!
@@Sub2club Hell yeah, that's something I would like to do since the 90s to mid 2000s Japanese cars that I like are very expensive and keep on going higher.
2550lbs? That’s what my 2018 brz totally gutted track car is. No carpet, radio or speakers, roof liner, door cards, airbag system, bare bones I’m at 2551. Do you have photo on scale?
@n00dler please chime in if you see this
Weight with driver was 2690
What size tire?
1:53 done on 245/40 18 a055
not a sub2 but who cares :)
This car is 1:53!
Sub 2L* 🤣
Nice video keep us updated 👊
