Toyota 86 has arrived

[cinco]

Does anybody know the difference between the Toyota and Scion versions of this car? Cheaper interior on the Scion? Titanium Badges on the Toyota?

this shows the fifference between the BRZ and the FR-S. Apprently they handle differently due to different shock and spring setups.

FR-S and 86 are the same?

[Death-Row]

yup, really like this. love the 2jz swapped one. have to wait for it to get older tho, just realized, i cant even afford cars designed/priced for the "everyman" lmao.

Putting a 2J in this is going against the basic design philosophy, to have a lower center of gravity, and an engine pushed back into the firewall for better balance.

Allyuh fellas could spoil vomit yes. "put in a 2JZ".

Steups.

put in a rotary

RWD/Toyota/2door........it hadda be a Soopra Dan! Everyone issa drag racer or drifter these days

Throttle response and handling is for imps and poor people, I'd take mine stock and head up the North Coast Road

[crazybalhead]

put in a rotary

THIS might be a more practical option.

[crazybalhead]

A more worthy improvement might be some Advan 140 TW tyres, Dunlop Direzza star spec, or Hankook RS-3's. And go to town on the Tumpuna road to Cumoto.

with the right suspension mods. coilovers, spring rate adjustments etc etc lil driving try outs and that car handling like a mofo once again yo.

[belalegosi]

drop in an STI engine diff and gearbox yuh in d game.

ken gushi is driving a greddy built one with an ej20 in it I believe

Sure its not a ej257?

Saw a white brz at a local roadcourse about a month ago.
For the "little power" it had, it sure did a good job keeping up with the corvettes and purpose built evos.
There is already some aftermarket support for the brz. Give it some more time and it will bountiful

In a year or two some reasonable ones should come up in Japanese auctions. Here is the Subaru variant for sale.

All that money for a corolla???

Steups Good luck in the outta timing comments awards.

the one that's in the yard is already taken.

even worse, it's automatic.

correction - tiptronic.

^^True, and an auto on a purists car like this could be viewed as a travesty.

However, Toyota has to make up sales numbers, and there are people who will buy this car just for the looks only (and have no idea of the driving intent)...lets face it.

And the automatic panders to those ppl.

That said, like I mentioned before, the automatic is one of the better units out there, according to C&D mag. They say it shifts almost as fast as a DSG, and even does "blipping"/revmatched downshifts just like the Evo's SST twin clutch/370Z's automatic.
