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

[MR 1JZ]

That Blue one above is nice....but I refuse to fap to a Toyota

im considering selling a really fast 4WD car that handles well and does easy 5-8 seconds a lap faster around mallala than one of these will do

seriously confused

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.

Indeed, and why would you try to get through a dealer here when you could get for like half the price through someone like Streeter in Japan

I just spoke with another dealer in person and she also mentioned the roll cage. Thats 2 from 2. I believe it is an option. She also mentioned an exhaust option to allow more cabin noise. lol.

Bad news for me is there isnt a single fucking pearl white available in the entire world. Another dealer offered me a black manual GTS that I could have on or after 18th of June. Also, they are more than happy to take deposit and fully refund subject to final costing and test drive of the car. Sounds pretty fucking good to me!

I wonder if fitting the TRD options at a non toyota dealer would void warranty? All I really want is some nicer wheels and for the thing to be slammed. Roll cage would be nice but then a 40K car quickly becomes a 50K car and youve only got 147kw.

I think the pearl white is turning out to the the colour of choice (demand) for the FT86.

BTW... what does FAP mean?

. Roll cage would be nice but then a 40K car quickly becomes a 50K car and youve only got 205Nm of torque.

Fixed.

The 147kw I find mildy impressive from an NA 2.0.

I found the Same with the Golf GTis, the bang for your buck and resale are really good at the intro price of 40K, start optioning them to much and you start encroaching on price points of better vehicles, and all those extras count for little / nothing come resale.

Meh ... the gen 5 3SGE's were making 157 kW with less compression over ten years ago.
Much heavier and taller engine though of course.

emissions would be the main thing

does it have the crazy subaru air pump gizmo?

Obviously someone was telling them shit or they aren't listening to their training materials.

The more noise thing is partly true. There's plumbing that goes from the intake to the cabin for induction noise pleasure.

Door stabilizers?

New feature – an industry first (patent pending)
Fills the gap in the door striker area using a spacer. This provides quicker steering response by cutting down the delay from when the steering wheel is turned.The built-in sliding mechanism automatically adjusts the gap to zero.
Designed to be easy to install, yet maintains a strong visual presence.

[smellytofu]

If that works, I'd be surprised no one thought of it for all the frameless Subaru cars before they went framed.

Shannons cover you for driver training on the track.

You can get full track cover even for racing from the likes of OAMPS. It costs a shitload though. A mate of mine destroyed a Mini Challenge car and they paid out the full $96K.

Magro?

From what I've read so far, the tune is pretty rich from what they've seen on dyno's so far. I'd imagine cleaning that up would help a fair bit.

Honda have been doing that since 2000. What did the 1.8 in the DC2R's make?

And so it begins.. Ken Numura of URAS fame likes his hip hop.

went to my third dealership today and walked out with a contract of sale!

Have ordered 6 speed GTS in Pearl White. Ended up 41200 on road with full paint and interior protection, 35% tint and floor mats included. The aftermarket guy there just bought a white GT so he was all excited and gave me 50% off the protection stuff, $100 bucks off tint and threw the floor mats in for nothing! lol.

I am likely to be waiting about 4 months however, but that gives me time to organise the best finance. Toyota offered me $598 p/m @ 5.87% fixed on 4 years with 19K balloon which is pretty decent but im unlikely to keep the car more than 2-3 years so they are willing to move around terms etc.

didnt think id buy a new car when i rolled out of bed this morning!

Also GTS includes Sat Nav which I was especially surprised about given most dealers still charge 3-4K extra.
