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

[hrd]

Okay after extensive research (five minutes of that video) I see that hrd is saying that Toyota should have fitted the FR-S with space saver wheels & tyres all round and not conventional ones.

Genius.

that would be the logical way to make it even more fun to drive.

Dale, where are you planning on mounting the turbo??
Low or high like a Rex???
What turbo???

Height wise, I have heard that you can site comfortably when tall when you are stting in a bit closer. Sitting full back is where you run into diminishing headroom.

Anyone know of a Canberra dealer that has one I can sit in to test if 200cms me fits?

Considering how big the option list on these things, im suprised factory semis arent an option

I will probably buy one of these in about 2 years time, when they're worth 15k and you can get off-the-shelf turbo kits with tunable ECU

Test drive planned for Saturday morning. Mate wants to test an auto, so I'll be driving the manual (naturally). I'm not sold ont he styling, but havent really checked them out in the flesh, so see how we go. No rush as I CBF with a 6 month waiting period, plus trying to get my work into salary packaging of cars....

Funny, I asked about options on the gt... They said none, except maybe satnav and reverse sensor...

Will you fit bigger wheels to get better brakes or stick to your pad melting ways?

Canberra Toyota Phillip doesn't, I know that - I am trying to line up a test drive with them but they reckon they won't have a car until next week. Whether that also applies at Fyshwick and Belconnen I don't know (I'm trying to do the 'sit in' thing this weekend if I can).

For me, headroom is never a problem in cars, legroom is always the killer. I must have supermodel-style long legs...

[smellytofu]

No I think he is saying that you should fit Prius space saver tyres, which are inferior to normal space saver tyres.

Because Prius.

But the thing is most of them don't come with space savers. Only a goo and an electric pump. Time to run them on disc rotors.

A friend took this for a 2hr test drive through the Adelaide Hills today...


He said...

Two numbers summarise this morning's revolution: 86. It's every bit as good, if not better, than they say.

Dale, is that a bit big for a 2ltr??
