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:

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.

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.

I dont know if i ever posted a pic of my non-stagea...............

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?
