FT-86 to be named FR-S...

[spiller]

Went to dealership today. Got fuck all but a prelim brochure. No demos until 18th . Looks like I might have to purchase before driving one. I will ask about subject to finance and test drive though.

In regard to option, that ugly thing posted on the last page is the only aero kit available. Apparently no suspension upgrades available. The guy said something about a roll cage option!!!

[smellytofu]

As if a roll cage would come with it!

What the dealer is suppose to tell you is that the interior is designed to accomodate a roll cage should you fit one in.

[itsnotagsr]

As if CAMs or the RTA will let Toyota sell it with a roll cage.

porsche dont seem to have any issues with a GT3

The lap by the non-tuned 86 w/ standard tyres:


What about changing to 17inch w/ better rubber?:


Lap time with the 17inch wearing Advan Neova 215/45/R17:


What about changing to 18inch with better rubber?:


Lap time with 18inch wearing Advan Neova 235/40/R18:


Tsuchiya: "If you go more aggressively on straight, 235 18' is better. If you like balanced driving in corners, 215 17" is preferable. Hmm, I will go with 235 18" for time attack"

Those 18s look familiar, should of stepped up to R Specs for the 18s or something, impressive improvements for just changing tyres.

All those TRD parts ticked on the options list would make a very entertaining car. Hoping this will see a few more 5x100 wheels released in decent offset for kiddies that want mexican fitment/stance.

[GTREA]

Not since the R35 have I seen such levels of

[TJ]

Not since the 35 has anything this cool been released.. LFA yeah but theres like 400 of those at $452345239394239

[itsnotagsr]

Plenty of hot Euro and US cars have been released. They're just unobtainable here.

[HSV Senator]

Yes, I will quote this again! That is perfect! Just add exhaust, intake and tune and you're done! So much win! :fap:

[MickyD]

Get your insurances locked in now, they'll go up dramatically when the first batch gets into the hands of the first set of drift-kiddies.

exactly. They're cheap enough to be bought by spoilt rich kids and wrapped around a tree on their first outing.
In 6 months time they'll be like WRX's were at one stage (and may well still be)
