yeah my chrome fail comment was a little broad

As long as its not a genuine m3, has altezza tail lights but no engine mods and 3 tv's per vehicle occupant, those rims are acceptable..

their those CCW wheels yeah? they look damn good and are pretty cheap too

Last time I priced up a set of CCW classics (when I still have the Celly), I was looking at a little over $6k shipped...

really? on theyre site it says theyre $2500 a set. how much was the shipping?

edit: even if you went the powder coat and arp stud route youd only be adding around $850

Shipping was was an astronomical amount. Somewhere around the $1500 mark. 22lbs a wheel, in customs sizes and specs with upgraded hardware. Though it 'starting at $2500' 3 years ago when I was looking at them.

  • 1 month later...

I am getting so f**king excited about this car and everything it represents. Starting weight of 1180kg for the base model, and 1240kg for the range topper, with the same power as the last locally delivered S15, and all with fuel economy good enough to make it suitable for daily duties... Yeah, I'm pretty keen.

Has been confirmed by Toyota for sale in Australia, and Subaru won't be far behind when they figure out how they're going to market it without their symmetrical all wheel drive safe tag, Tom's and TRD are already looking at warmed up versions, Toyota themselves want owners to modify and personalise theirs. So refreshing.

Non turbo 2.0 litre boxer direct engine with 147kw, STi BRZ may be turbo, 6 speed manual, or 6 speed paddle shifted auto, LSD, rear wheel drive, and all in a 1200kg package.

As for price, Toyota is aiming for the low $30k range.

Yeah according to Speedhunters, they have already released info to the Nippon Aftermarket Committee so manufacturers and tuners can start production of aftermarket parts! New car owners will have the option to change out the suspension and add aero mods on day 1 of ownership!

I am getting so f**king excited about this car and everything it represents.

THIS!!! What a revolution. Best thing a car company has done in a long time.

Cant believe Nissan tried their darndest to exclude the GTR from the aftermarket scene, why not encourage personalisation and stimulate the aftermarket economy!

In short, the car gives me a hard on. Looks wise, not so much, but the potential.... huge.

I'm a big fan of the way they look.

That second photo I posted shows a couple more or less confirmed options for when it goes on sale in North America/Europe, fixed back seats, harnesses, and TRD gauges.

It's something I would never have expected from Toyota, openly embracing the aftermarket. I imagine the options list will be pretty immense by the time it hits dealer floors here.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
