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

[womblesti]

I don't think that is the case. They don't think twice on spending up big on opti coat, shark fin antennas (they are >$200 ffs), wheels, ice shit, droning exhausts etc. But when comes to something that add performance and looks oem it's not worth it. I reckon Che need to do the pipes up in bright neon and have a big bov (sound familiar) then they would go ape shit over it.

The Tekno kit will sell like hotcakes then!

Fuck that. I just said its gone in "for a service". Things got a bit suspect when the car didn't come back in a few days. Then I said "they're waiting on parts, you know there's a waiting list right even the spares are backlogged"

But... My cover was blown when the car smelt different and I started going to one particular caltex to fill up eflex.

PMSL. better to ask for forgivness than to beg for permission.

[MRMOPARMAN]

didnt you know chinese turbo's are the hotness atm?

dale should offer a kit with them yumca turbo's with the plastic compressor housing with the bolts and screws thrown into the die..

[crimespree]

kudos to you!
I could get away with boost it but i couldn't explain the missing 10k, currently inventing an excuse that involves cubic zirconia

Sig worthy because truth!


Just read through this thread, these things seem to be a good thing and I can't help but like the shape of them.

Still trying to get my head around a Toyota and Subi being almost the same car though...

[seedyrom]

You should tell them you've designed an identically spec'd kit to fit a Cherry J11.
Will blow their minds

[JZK25]

i. but lets be honest 80% of the idiots on there dont own a FT86 and the ones they do are on there Red P's and cant afford and drive a turbo car so will hang shit on it..

Bingo.


"it's just some pipes and a turbo. 10k wtf zomg!!!! If toyota can build the whole car and sell it for 30k the turbo kit should be $30"

The future looks bleak. Where's cracka to let fly with some acid keyboard rants when they are actually needed.

[cracka]

I just lol. Sorry ozhonda/ft86club and similar are not my scene. The gen 4 liberty forum is the only reasonable and conservative one make forum I actually like. Brains, unobtrusive vendors, good tech, a good spending bunch of people...but even that gets lost in threads about air filters and taxi tyres.

Besides my senseless rants are for things that make no sense. Or it wouldn't be that would it :p. as I said to MZ, leave the marketing to Dale and don't entertain the fuckwits or you get nowhere. Only a lesson I learnt recently with the liberty you spent 3 minutes bolting a v12 into.

[cracka]

Fwiw I'm happy to let Cal go nuts with mine around QR. some lap times and 12 sec quarters do more to sell turbos than pictures and answering shit about blow off valves ever could.

[260BC]

Lakeside would show the car up better I reckon, seeing that Cal has a lot of MX5 experience around there the times should be pretty good. I'll pace him in the Z car if required :D

Haw Haw. Predictably unfunny.

So yanks claiming 400 horse at the wheels now with a locked converter, 14lb and e85. Thats mint.
