Hey, it's been at least a few days since we showed you a FT-86/FR-S/BRZ video. But this one is worth watching. Chris Harris is the man and he says buy it. Watch!

I always get a kick out of street cars that have been lowered within an inch or two of the tarmac. Sure it looks good, but 9 times out of 10 lowering these things makes them completely undrivable. Road imperfections, potholes, speed bumps and even foul weather are the enemies of a lowered car. Hell, even getting in and out of a driveway can be a hassle. Understand that manufacturers go through great lengths making sure that their cars will perform flawlessly in all sorts of conditions, because in the end, these are street cars. That doesn’t stop the masses though from tinkering. It’s a tough choice… do you go for looks alone or usability? Video after the jump!

In the annals of modern hot-rod design there is no question that Chip Foose is amongst the best in the business. His cars have been featured on television, in magazines, online and at some of the greatest car shows around the world. However, before Foose got into hot-rods he was, get this, a Volkswagen guy. That’s right, he drove a 1985 MkII Golf GTI, a car which he says, was one of his favorites and the car that provided him with much of his early inspiration. I suppose it should come as no surprise as the VW Golf, like the Porsche 911, is one of those rare automobiles that has simply evolved over time. Through the years it’s gotten better and better, and like Chip Foose himself, it’s never lost any of the emotion that the original one set forth all those years ago. Via Ralf Becker.

And it may or may not look like the pic Subaru released below. Sorry, we're a little late on this cause the news broke while we were at SEMA, but Jen will be in LA next week to give you the full scoop! And if you want to geek out on the subtle differences between the images below and the very latest teaser images, go to ft86club.com. One more pic plus the Subaru press release with some specs after the jump!

Yep, these look to be the real deal. Legit looking brochure pics of the standard FR-S / FT-86, plus optional aero kit parts. Via FT86club.com. Two more scans after the jump!

Brian always brings something cool to SEMA and this year is no exception. Brian bumped Honda's new K24Z7 power plant up to 450 hp using a new Full-Race intercooled turbo kit. Press release with all the specs after the jump, and check out Brian's 2012 Civic ride page for some ealy pics of the build!

Subaru is really dragging their heels on getting a decent concept out for the BRZ. Luckily, Jon Sibal came to the rescue with this cool rendering for AutoGuide.com. Of course, this is just a guess. But it's probably a pretty good guess... Via JonSibal.com

The Impreza XV, unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is the first Subaru I've liked in a while, so I'm excited to hear that we're actually gonna get it over here in 2013. Yeah, it's basically a jacked up Impreza, but it looks cool. Nice going Subaru. Via Autoblog

Sneek peek at Chris Rado's new Scion tC FWING 2.0!

I started this about 48 hours ago on two differnt fourms: Audizine.com and kingofthestreet.com. I simply asked: "what are your thoughts on donks?" and "what are your thoughts on tuners?" I wanted to understand why one group might dislike the other. Is it a real HATE towards the other scene as seen on Youtube and CarDomain? Or is it a race thing? Which it shouldn't be, because no car knows race or gender. What I told each group was I wanted an honest opinion followed by a reason, and that this is not about race or intelligence. Both groups had valid points, but I still would love to hear more opinions. No matter if you spend all night installing coilovers or all night installing lift kits, when you're done you have the same feeling, that you got the look you wanted and you worked hard to get it.
