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

[phreeky]

The big cruises we used to have up here that were organised on PF (early 2000s) were great. Basically a bunch of educated (mostly) hoons that gave no shit for showing off to randoms - hit the faster roads out of town, gave each other room, acted like dicks. It was great.

As for other owners of the cars, or even people who say they want one, mostly dicks. They care about weird shit like changing their tail lights (see above) and are focused on what the car looks like and others think of them. They struggle with the concept that I only have a slight interest in the appearance of the car. I shouldn't complain too much though, it will probably help resale value down the track.

Yeah the QLD Facebook group are odd.

They get into prolonged circle jerks about the value of opticoat (or any other random paint protection).

So Motortrend have a YouTube up reviewing the Crawford 400+hp BRZ, and again they couldn't do a full test because it overheated

You'd think they would get the thing properly sorted before letting everyone review it...

kev, would have said hello if i knew you were there, i was in the liberty as my 86 is still getting painted.

I think we may have spoken to your dad when we first arrived. He was talking about his son being there but not having his car for some reason, and he mentioned you lived in Kingaroy or somewhere like that. I kinda thought it was weird that someone would be there in a liberty, but it makes sense now...

Yes, birthday cake was done. The drive was for the "Twins Birthday".

I guess one good thing, at least people are getting out and driving their cars and not sitting at home on facebook....oh wait....

Oh, and Opticoat...damn. I heard at least 3 conversations about it. A chick that my mate knew was wetting herself at a red one with it on....
OMG, you don't need to wash it, OMG, look at that red car, it looks amazing, OMG, like it just looks the best....OMG!!!?!!??!!?!?!?

I gotta admit it did look good, but nothing a good polish wouldn't fix on any other car.

[rowdytoot]

And I'm with Mr Purple, having looked at the australian 86 forums that's not a group I have any interest in spending any time with. Birthday cakes for a car? ffs, get a life.

They get into prolonged circle jerks about the value of opticoat (or any other random paint protection).

It would appear the mexican owners aren't any different. Cupcakes and arguing over whether or not the rear parcel shelf has to be removed for a tint job lol.

The US forums aren't all that much more useful, I mean how many backyard engineers do you need making rear control arms when most people don't even know wtf they're for.

I've found the US forums worse... Making a complaint regarding damage and wear with a dealer because they stalled their FRS twice... FFS

Clearly he should have bought the automatic

what brand and size are they ferdie? going back to 15's?

they are a 16" got em in from demon-tweeks, i could not find a 16" in australia and these were cheap to my door (for what they are)

will put up a pic but they are already on the stock 16" wheels, just need to get the rest of the car back from the painter now...

[ferdie]

I can see a khanacross in ferdies future

i can see ferdie running out of talent on a dirt road behind kingaroy in the future

seriously though, the roads up here are shit and im always in the dirt so i figured i would give it a go. proston rally track in 45min from my door and im planning on entering the next round...

yep that would have been him, i dropped by to catch a couple mates and to talk about opticoat

[perthdrivers.txt]

i think this is awesome and would love to see more 86/brz rally cars (tarmac or dirt)
