Are the differences between the Scion and Subaru merely cosmetic?

"There is one minor difference remaining, but it will only be picked out by the true enthusiasts. Behind the wheel, both the FR-S and BRZ feel lively, supplying just the right mix of balanced handling and rev-happy power. But the FR-S will demonstrate a slightly (but noticeably to those with a nose for it) greater willingness to rotate--that is, to move around its central axis. The Subaru BRZ, on the other hand, demonstrates a very slight bias toward understeer at the limits. This fundamental difference is due to Scion's revised rear spring and bushing choices. While it may sway the true sports car fan one way or another, most people won't--and shouldn't--notice the difference."

So just barely. Dave congrats on the new ride. Have you hit any twistys yet? Hows it handle?

Nice work!! I'll have to come see you again soon...when the next special hits!!!

Thanks. Stop in whenever you'd like. We're here haha. We are stocked up on the machine sealant and pads as well if you're still interested.

Inside we have four panels of T5 lighting plus overhead fluorescents as fill in light. Booth shots tend to tweak the color a bit. I'm not sure if its the camera or lights or both but I can usually adjust the balance. I just don't unless it makes the pics look really bad or if its really necessary to have an accurate depiction. The outside shots are the true color. As for the wheels I don't know. They were interesting. Brushed finish but all the flat surfaces facing outwards towards the viewer were polished.

Thanks everyone. We had a blast working on this beast.

The end.

Beast Mode.

Shiny!

So mean.

We had a ZL1 in the shop for the 4th of July. Pretty fitting. On to the pics.

Well done congratulations!!!

Nicely done, what pads do you use? I have a Makita rotary and am looking to get some new pads.

 

Thanks

Thanks! The pads we use are:

wool: Buff & Shine out of Rancho Dominguez, CA

all others: Adams Gen 4

You may need a different backing plate. Im not sure what will and won't fit your Makita.

Also a breakdown of what else we used during this detail:

All Adams

Machine Polish

Revive Polish

Buttery Wax

VRT

Metal Polish

Glass Cleaner

I hope that answers some questions.

The majority of the credit goes to Rob. He has the golden touch. Thank you all for the compliments.

Thank you sir!

I love the paint on this beauty.

The curves and lines were pretty impressive .

We had this rare machine come through our door for a full detail inside and out. I was amazed at, even for back in the day, the level of detail that was put into this car. Theres only 54 of these in the states. Once we had her all polished up it was pretty surprising to see the amount of color and metal flake that the paint had. It was great to look at in the sunlight.

Thank you for the kind words everyone. Rob gets all the credit I'm just passing the info on. That's Rob in the pics. He thanks you all as well.

Thank you. Compounding with a rotary buffer first. As for what Adams products we used the list is:

Detail Spray

Clay Bar

Machine Polish

Revive Polish

Americana Paste Wax

Porter Cable with Fourth Gen Buffing Pads

It's nice seeing the results of someone who actually knows how to use a rotary, instead of the usual holograms most hacks leave behind. Great job!

Much appreciated. Thank you!

Looks great!

Thank you!

And that is all! Thanks for stopping by.
