Targa Newfoundland was one of my favourite series.
So good! I wish there wore more racing and purpose built cars at SA :)
Just like it used to be
Indeed, one of the best series I've ever seen on YT
Me too!!
Same here.
Targa Newfoundland was the best thing on this channel. Love the dedicated build, plus actual good footage driving it. Most importantly.
I feel like there is not a lot of interest in channels that focus on circuit / grip style racing or that focus on rebuilding chassis and circuit motor sports over high HP builds but I appreciate this content and the hard work that goes into building a chassis to really go fast with less HP
Can't wait for the GR86 build series :^)
Damn right! 👍🏻
Oh yea!!
There goes my favourite SA build ever. Rest in Speed.
I have a track prepared FRS all because of this! You guys were an inspiration and I've watch you videos ever since. Will be dearly missed.
Watching the journey of this car over the years has been a joy. I'm surprised Toyota Canada didn't let you guys just keep the car!
Maybe because there's a new car coming for them, the GR86.
@@aaronbryan5095 Yeah, Toyota Canada probably asked if they wanted to keep it and they said no because they are interested in building something else.
@@SI0AX I got to talk to the guys, and Toyota offered to let them buy the car, but they wanted a ton of money for it, so selling off the parts is going to fund the next builds
Binge watched all the FRS episodes and although I haven’t known it for long, I miss it already. This thing is truly an awesome beast.
I've been watching your channel since 2015 I was 15 or 16 years old. This frs and the targa newfoundland and ontario 1500 builds got me hooked on the frs more than I already was. Learned manual on a ford focus and eventually bought an Frs in late 2016 that I've been building and autocrossing ever since! Thankyou for the inspiration!
It’s really refreshing to see that you’re the same guys that did that targa 6 years ago.
Excited for the background builds to be revealed, I honestly can’t remember what’s under them (an r34) I feel I remember ?
In the previous video they announced an A80 and R34 build off series
@@ahmadtajy7178 awesome, thanks for the reply ;) I’ve been slacking.
@@ahmadtajy7178 Isn't the R34 worth like more that $100,000+?
@@SI0AX dunno. They probably found one for cheaper somehow. Probably doesn't run or something
Man I'm going to miss this car. I miss seeing bulids that lead up to racing. Also you guys hands down are the best car UA-cam channel.
This was the car that brought me to your channel 😊
Sad to see her go, when I was looking at buying an frs originally & was looking for frs content on UA-cam this is how I found your channel.
On top of that it was for the targa Newfoundland which I watched as a kid growing up just outside St. John's as it races past my house! Keep up the great content guys.
The axles breaking is most likely from changing the suspension geometry when lowering the car. They make anti lift kits that are supposed to help with that.
I miss Modified magazine. I always bought it (here in Kansas) because it was always sooo much better than the other ones, even just in paper/photo quality.
Sad to see the FRS go! Thank you both for doing the series with the FRS. I must have watched it through 3 or 4 times, learning about what mods I wanted to do to my BRZ.
Wow i did not realize that I've been watching this channel since the beginning. You guys have always had quality content.
I stumbled on a video of you guys building this car and it showed me I can get into racing/time trials a lot more cost effective then I thought. I’ll miss the content for the frs.
Man I remember watching Targa Newfoundland and the Ontario 1500 series. Made me want to do both so bad. Sad to see it go but happy it brought me here
The Targa series was the one that introduced me to y'all's channel...albeit after it was done (found y'all around the time you started on Connie). This is definitely the end of an era.
This is definitely my favorite of all the cars you guys built over the years. Its what brought me to your channel actually. I really hope you guys do another 86 build one day.
Sad to see the piece of channel history go, loved watching you guys build this car
first speed academy video i watched was cutting the old cage out of this, that feels like sooooooooooooooo long ago! lol
That Targa Newfoundland video was what brought me to the channel. It got featured in a ToyotaNation email when I was still getting newsletters from when I had my old Corolla, and I was strongly considering an FR-S at the time. The idea of owning one was better than actual ownership for where I live and my situation, but watching this one get built and raced was a nice consolation prize.
This car is what introduced me to this channel and got me hooked on the content
This is the reason I started watching your channel
all splitters go to heaven... felt that. my latest one is still on the side of the road halfway to work.
I really hope Toyota Canada is going to work with you guys on a GR86 build. I started watching your videos because of this FRS.
Sad to see it go, was watching when this series started. I miss seeing the frs in its glory days of modifications and competitions
This is the series you guys were doing when I first got into your channel. RIP FRS
Beauty build. That car brought me to Speed Academy. Bang! Found my favorite UA-cam channel.
I watch all your videos in reverse. This was the best and fastest build yet.
The Targa Newfound series is what got me hooked on to the Speed Academy channel. Probably one of my top fav car series on UA-cam.
It was also definitely an influencing factor in me buying a twin.
Sad to see it go, but im looking forward to more great content from you guys!
I never knew- went back and watched the Newfoundland video per your recommendation
Makes everything clear!
This car had a huge influence on my own FR-S. I saw this in person at the Calgary Auto Show back in 2013 when mine was on order. I hope and I have a feeling that Toyota Canada is going to send these guys the new GR86.
So sad to see it go. Like many of the comments below, this car is what drew me to the channel. Just watched the Hodges Cove. What a hoot. This car/platform really puts a smile on your face. I really feel that you won't be happy till you get another. Happy (hopeful) hunting.
I was so hyped by the car in the thumbnail. Didn't look at the title so I never realized it's the end of an era.
Been here since that build. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the new builds.
Sad to see this go. I'm a '13 FR-S owner too, the Targa series was how I originally found you guys.
It's always sad seeing something getting torn down.😔
Watch the video in reverse :D
@@Tux_Appreciator 😂
Loved the Targa stuff. Thats how i found you guys. watched Targa local every year and always enjoyed it
Man, the memories with this build. I want to say it was the first series I watched, back in 2015. The Targa NewFoundland video is one of my favorites, and is really inspiring.
Will miss seeing this car!! It’s been such a huge motivating factor in my own build and one of the reasons I also got the JR supercharger. On to bigger and better things 👍🏽👍🏽
So sad to see the end of the speed academy FRS 😞 great adventures and amazing videos that you guys did with it! but all the good things come to an end so it's time to move on! Can't wait for the next projects 😀
Honestly I saw the picture and was really excited to see you guys racing again. But great things come to an end. Been watching you guys since the Ass200 and this build. I would really enjoy you guys building a true track car again and trying to compete in a competition. ( chump car, enduro) or whatever. Anyways, keep up the great stuff and I'll see you guys next time!
Pete you’ve come a long way from “before we get this project going, we need to get this party started”. Lol.
You guys are seriously on track to becoming one of the biggest and best yt channels out there.
I loved that car and the videos on it. It’s what brought me to the channel initially. Hopefully you do some even more epic builds soon!
Been here since the Targa Newfoundland videos! - Being from NL and seeing Targa from the time was young, it was cool to see it from the perspective of the guys who come to the island specifically for the races!
Oh boys all the feels! Loved those series with this car. Really had me chasing one of these. Sad to see it go but that’s what happens. Great video Pete and Dave!!!!
Man the track days and build of this car is how I found you guys! I hope to see more racecar and track content in the future.
This and the badass200 was what got me started with speed academy. Build another one when the new one comes out!
Sad to see this one go, i started to watch this channel channel while you guys where building the badass2000, and i saw this frs come by a couple of times. Lovely platform and yes the recaro pole positions are great buckets, i use them as a daily seat, and even with hernia's and artrose they take care of my back and my driving enjoyment.👍✌️👉
I originally found you guys because of the frs build and the targa new found land footage! hope there comes an other one because I learned a lot of this channel for my own build!
Found your channel in an article about your targa run 👍👍👍👍👍👍
So long, fella. The FR-S brought me to this channel from way back.
Damn end of an era. Back when I bought my 2013 FR-S. I watched the Targa Newfoundland vids religiously! I loved them and it made me a SA fan :D
Wow I used to love modified magazine. Didn’t know you guys worked there. I didn’t know about the 86 series. I’ll have to check it out especially since I have a frs.
Was just wondering what ever happened to this car. We stripped it when we gave it back to Toyota too, they were so mad at us. Glad you guys got to use it this whole time 👍
Great track car build, culminating with the series win at the Ontario 1500! A lot of simple but quality parts. Sad to see it go, but all good things must come to an end. Glad to hear you’re thinking about building a gen 2 car. Will see what you guys can do with that one.
that exhaust looks like a work of art!
It’s sad to see it go, but the amount of coverage on the way out was proper 🤙
this is really sad! but thanks for the brakes! I think i might go rewatch the targa series for old times sake! Thanks for all the awesome twins content, it's helped me huge over the years with my own.
I'm also one of the people that found your channel through the FRS. Sad to see it go but I do understand why it is going!
Edit: I really hope you do something similar in the future though, meaning build a car to compete in events like the Ontario1500 or Targa!
This car was the reason I subscribed to SA and continue to watch almost every video! Sad to see it go.
modified was my favorite mag. i still have alot of my old mags.
Yes, Please!!! - Gen2 BRZ/86. Definitely want to see how that stacks up in laptimes at TMP to the various stages of the ASS2000 and this FRS.
Sad to see it go. Really enjoyed this car.
Man this car is a legend to the channel for sure!! Off to the next project tho!!
Yes new 86 build can't wait
I can't believe the made you tear it down. They should've took how it was. What a great car!
Best build you guys did…actually used it on tracks.
Such a clean build 🙏🛠
Loved the format of this video. Can you guys do a recap of the badass2000 car somehow? It’d be awesome just to take us through the car retrospectively and talk about pros/cons of the setup.
Sad do see the frs go! Started following because of the frs and s2k, but you guys will surely find some other cheap sport cars to mod!😍
Rip the frs ! The car that got me into the channel 7 years ago !
I would've bought this car as is, any price, if you guys were selling it. This is the car that pushed me over the edge to get into racing
I loved the Modified Mag!
The car was lowered. The cv joints were angled upwards and added extra stress...you would’ve needed subframe and diff risers to avoid breaking the axles. I yet to own a Brz/frs/86 but have done a LOT of research as I plan to get one sometime soon.
Sorry to see the FR-S go and miss the old days of Speed Academy. Those days of racing and working on performance cars seem to be gone and it’s all about fixing up slow station wagons.
She’s what brought me to the channel!
Awesome vid guys. I’ll miss the FRS as well. Is there a way to read old issues of Modified Magazine? I regret not picking it before; I was more of a Sport Compact Car guy.
the targa newfoundland series was fkn awesome, would love to see you guys do another race like that
This is the car that made me subscribe to the channel. You should do this type of challenge again with a new car
Man this actually makes me sad. I remember getting my car in 2013 and finding this channel when I was considering going to the track so much information I've been saying for years this channel has content above the level of channels 5x the size I'm sure better things are coming
Really enjoyed watching the Targa series and Ontario 1500. Sad to see the frs go. Any plans to do a build for a competition in the future?
I know you guys because of this car and I work hard to be able to buy an FRS because of this car so it’s a little bit sad to see it leave the channel but I’m sure great thing will come 😉
you need to use subframe and diff risers to keep the axles from blowing up. It reduces the angles on the joints so they last longer. Parts shop max makes some and I have 122k miles on my axles
My last memory about it was it overheat at track test...looking forward to the NEW GR86 now XD
Build a NEW BRZ/86! Please do that! I am excited to see what can be done with the new car
Hp academy had a episode about broken FRS axles. I believe the thought is that the actual shaft is too long so when you load the suspension with more power than stock it breaks the cage inside the CV unit.
This build is motivation for my FRS build 🔥 sad to see it go
I can hear it from your voice that its hard to let go. Oh well, the show must go on.
Sad to see it go because as a long time viewer I remember everything related to the channel with this very car but time to go forward as you covered ground and grown so much as well.
About the axles, maybe the cups are not hardened enough, with the s/c maybe it put enough stress on these that they broke a few times? My neighbor has issues on his s2k that he tracks a lot, and you know it's not the brutal torque a stock f20c is producing that should twist the driveshaft and snap axle 😁
Man that old video was so cool
Would be great to see you guys build a couple cars for gridlife classes and keep them long term.
Great price on the JRSC, so tempting
Your guys’ expressions are very lack luster on this video, I’m not sure if it’s because you guys are upset or sad, but man this car was dope as hell, it served its purpose very well !
I snapped 3 driverside axles in one season (2 stock power 1 supercharged). I believe it has to do with the subframe/diff bushing being too soft and has too much angle of movement. Most tracks on the northeast are heavy on right turns too which could also be the cause. Swapping in upgraded axles is useless from my research because it's more of a geometry issue.
I watched this series religiously when I was on deployment in 2016 which gave me motivation for frs build back then. Sold the car in Germany and been working on my second one which is turbo this time around. Would you guys consider selling that exhaust to a long time fan? 🤞😬😬
Nvm just finished watching haha
You guys need to do another targa Newfoundland car build I live in port aux basques Newfoundland. and I honestly never heard of the targa tell I seen your video on it and now it’s a dream of mine to race it
