My 86 is actually in Dark Grey Metallic GTS with Aero pack... looks soooooooo dam sexy.

I think alot of people will opt for the orangeish colour, the pictures you see on the net don't give the colour justice. I took the demo for a test drift & the salesman's fingernails are still stuck in the dash :w00t:

If you can drift a fat auto Stagea then you will have a ball with the 86! :rofl2:

The first one I saw was in the Dark Grey metallic; I reckon that's the pick of the colours. :thumbsup:

Ah, that would explain your user name then. It's not just a euphemism for female body parts. I would post a pic of my other car, but I'm sure you can all picture a crappy old VS Commodore Equipe low

I ALSO ordered a GTS in Grey... lol!

I opted not to get the aero kit though: Import Monster can have the TRD kit delivered to my door for less $$ than Toyota charge for the Aero kit...

That said, I like the clean lines of the factory car: I'll leave it alone until I've modded it for performance.

I'll probably change the kit later on but in years to come, the aero kit will be one of those hard to get factory items. It's this reason alone why I got it, that said I agree it looks WAY overboard styling wise. I was in the market for an Audi A5 Coupe, that is a very clean & sexy look but 100k+ is too much for me right now. I'll wait for the super fat wide bodykit for the 86, seen 1 white example & a few renderings & it looked hot!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some like the clean look, some like the JDM tuner look & others like the WAY overboard look (all me) :D

A guy on the Mountain ordered one. When he ordered it before delivery the price included a full size alloy spare wheel and tyre. When he went to pic it up it only had a pressure pak can of tyre inflater. Being a Yank lawyer he told Toyota to stick it.He still drives his Tibby.

yeah only the first ones came with a spare, they quickly changed that...but more for the boot space from what i hear.

really tho.....is it a deal breaker not having it? flats aren't that common, sounds like he just needed an excuse to change his mind.......and lol at the yank lawyer. does this make him special in some way?

on a related note, seen a few 86's around. nice cars, all of them with P plates in the window.

i guess this is good news to someone maybe planning to track their 86

should have a good number of written off 86's in the scrap yards quite quickly

"check out my tofu shop skilzzzz....." bang.... "f**k"

can't wait till the gentlemen's agreement of no engine mods finishes between toyota and subaru

pretty sure it was 18 months from them going on sale, so it won't be long now :)

Actually Subaru is only making a limited amount of them. Only 500 will ever reach our shores. Also they are Owned by Toyota, and are doing all the manufacturing of the 86, so there wont be any agreements. They always planned on it being a car for the "Tuners" which is why they haven't really made a performance version. But im still thinking there will be a turbo model out next year.

Sorry Iain, you have to own a Stagea to be allowed to post a non Stagea :nyaanyaa:

VAG really know how to make DSG g'boxes. The one in the missus' A3 is outstanding. I even forgive its funny 'lurching' at really slow speeds because the rest is excellent. Does yours do that or did they fix that in later models?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
