I Destroyed the FRS Bumper!

We're cutting up the bumper on the FRS today! I've never done this before so I'm expecting the worst! Hopefully, it all turns out ok though and we decrease a bit of the drag that the bumper was creating since we removed the big stock muffler and created a huge pocket for the air to go.

That looks really great and you lost weight in the process. Your aero will be much improved. Great mod.

[@KevinVo]

Thanks for the support!!

[@disbjg]

I was gonna say, a red or white bash bar would look sick but the Beatrush bar is legit.

[@KevinVo]

I wasn't sure if I would like the chrome at first but the contrast is a pleasant sight!

[@michaeljohn1160]

Cut my rear bumper too. The drag was driving me nuts. I’ve been to your shop before between omaha and mpls. Like to stop by and compare notes on my track 2018 brz. Mine weights in at 2589lbs.

[@Im_Nick_]

Looks awesome! Looks like it needs a rear diffuser in there now

[@KevinVo]

I have one sitting in my basement, but my class doesn't allow it unfortunately.

[@RealWheelDeal]

Looks great man. I love my front beatrush bar.

[@KevinVo]

Thanks! I may look into a front bar, just need to figure where to mount my spiller if I change it.

[@nicholasdugdale]

That entire Beat rush assembly weighs half of the rear bumper beam!? Sign me up!

[@KevinVo]

All the weight savings!

[@Menace_sti]

I know this is your youtube channel but damn haha your voice catches me off guard haha love the way it turned out. Since it is a track car this looking beautiful

[@KevinVo]

Why does it catch you off guard? haha thank you!!!

[@Menace_sti]

@@KevinVo because usually your on subispeeds channel haha

[@LitEquinox]

That looks so sick!

[@KevinVo]

Thanks!

[@thew2n]

"Fuck it" words to live by!

[@KevinVo]

No other way to live!

[@shinigami052]

Gotta see what it looks like out on the track now.

[@KevinVo]

Going to be on track in a few days!

[@TripSkyWalker]

This has been on my Todo list

[@KevinVo]

Do it!!!

[@TripSkyWalker]

I need to fit the Front end first.

[@c4ray]

Wondering if you were ever going to cut the bumper, cause of class restrictions on diffusers. Looks good

[@KevinVo]

Thanks! Can't wait to get back out on the track!

[@LeftSightScarFace]

Less wind drags & reduce weight 👍 . Might looks even more cooler, if add a black paint metal net. Forgotten the name for it. 😂 OG' from the 90' street racer call it chicken cage (net). .... Also, you can reinstall the reverse light housing behind it with a home made customized bracket, 👍 The rear will have clean looks.

[@LeftSightScarFace]

It will give it a clean ( supersport car rear looks) 👍

[@biaasracing2931]

also great way is jackpoint :D

[@SirCartierxx]

cleannn

[@KevinVo]

Thanks!!

[@LokeChiaProductions]

I read that some have opted to cut up their stock muffler to direct the airflow underneath, though I'm not sure how they mount the 'shell' of the muffler to their aftermarket ones.

[@KevinVo]

Oh haven't seen that!

[@vuvo2002]

Finally did something I told him to do! 😅

[@KevinVo]

Yeah yeah haha

[@kd3942]

That’s sick🔥🔥

[@KevinVo]

Thanks! I love it!

[@NoSirAnder19]

I love it. Im just not sure about the red underneath the car. Maybe you could sit there looking at it for an hour and decide. Thats what i would do. 🍺🍺

[@KevinVo]

I'll run it like this for a bit and if I don't like it I'll do something 😁

[@86glint]

Couldn't you have just gotten an aero piece to install underneath kind of like all the covers we have up front?

[@KevinVo]

I can't run a rear diffuser in my class. I have one sitting in my basement haha

[@86glint]

@@KevinVo awww man that sucks, but makes sense.

[@hzozafar]

You should take the opportunity to put a proper diffuser on

[@KevinVo]

I can't run a diffuser in my class 🙃

[@michaeljohn1160]

You clearly stated that you can’t run a diffuser because of the class. And yet people don’t listen.

[@holeshot26]

take the heatshield off too! its serving no purpose anyway!

[@KevinVo]

It's already gone don't worry! haha

[@s0007]

Wouldn't the verus rear diffuser that you guys sell on ftspeed have solved this problem of the "parachute" creating drag? I thought you guys did an install video on that previously

[@KevinVo]

It would definitely fix the issue, but the problem is I can't run a rear diffuser in my class.

[@drinkmysprunk7864]

What are the orange plates by the diff? Covers?

[@KevinVo]

Those are part of the Whiteline rear differential bushings I installed.

[@JFlogerzi]

Why not a rear diffuser?

[@vuvo2002]

Not allowed in his class.

[@section8118]

@@vuvo2002 what class is he competing in?

[@KevinVo]

In the class I run (ClubTR Gridlife) rear diffusers are not allowed. I actually have a rear diffuser sitting in my basement haha

[@tuffpuppy6268]

What’s the torque spec for the rear bash bar?

[@burakoshimazaki]

Probably same as OEM bolts.

[@tjwreds1]

why?

[@KevinVo]

Why not? It'll help to reduce drag and replacing the bumper beam saved some weight.

[@DafergoEngineering]

hell yeah 😂😂😂

[@KevinVo]

Send it!!!!
