but for being the first car ever sold in America, it gets picked up this
affordable sporty rear-wheel drive coupe within the last year, us included. But

You're looking at FR-S #1. The owner of the car is a good
friend of DC Sports boss William Law. Albert Tani was one of the first 86
people to put a deposit down with Scion to purchase one of the first cars. From
a random drawing, lie was given first dibs receiving car #1 with the tags and a
plaque to prove it. And being a good friend of DC, he was in good hands to
receive the best parts for the build.
FR-S/BRZ market
and they used this particular coupe for all their development.
DC is known as a supplier of good 'ol fashion bolt-on
greatness. Their catalog covers everything, whether you drive a 240SX or a
Civic. But now, they're jumping head first in the
FR-S/BRZ market and they used this particular coupe for all
their development. Already equipped on this car and ready for sale are the
cat-delete and exhaust, plus a pretty sweet strut tower bar. There are also
headers, intake and more suspension pieces in the works so stay tuned.
Before debuting the car at the SEMA show, DC made sure the
rest of the build was up to par. Eibach developed their coilovers on this
chassis, then the FR-S was given every props from us. It's even been pushed on
the track a few times so we can't wait till the DC Sports' FR-S strikes again
with the next phase of the build.
