I called 3 dealers today and all said they have accepted deposits. RRP is not released yet but prices are said to be below VW golf Gti price which is $38,000

A dealer from NSW is a member of the ft86 forum or whatever it's called, he's been told that people will be pleasantly suprised with the price. I'm happy to pay $35,000.

Deposit will be refundable... Probably be like $500 or so. Once I get it than I'll try sell the 33

Fark...I want one but I'd probably have to sell the bike or Skyline, the former being too young in my possession and the latter not being worth selling. I have three regos/insurances as is :/

Rego should be for the driver not the vehicle :/

Are Subaru taking orders too? I was torn between who you'd go with. Subaru know their boxer engines (servicing etc.), but Toyota had the best exterior look IMO. Subaru interior looked better from concept pics.

Probably best engine under 140k

err, i THINK ou are forgetting the mighty RB20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

revs to 11ty and makes POWAH!!

best engine EVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R32 for life yo

Probably best engine under 140k

I reckon, 286rwkw stock and with a re-map of the factory ECU +100kw gains to be had.. awesome grunt

Let me know if you find any TE37 superlaps 19x10 +35 ish.. and 19x9 +20ish or any good looking rims really, also 20s are good too

For those that are thinking of buying an 86, what has swayed you into buying it?

As from a car enthusiast point of view one could argue it doesn't offer better performance/handling of the s15 of 10 years ago.

Understandable though if you want that new car purchase, updated interior and arguably less cop trouble.

In saying that I hope it is a success, so other manufacturers can bring out cheap RWD coupé sports cars.

Too bad it only comes in a family boat!

Emotionally, for me it's the idea of a brand new, reliable car with modern everything. It wouldn't be as fast as my Skyline, but everything else would be better about it. Lowered on a nice set of wheels and I'm done. I've hated the look of new cars for the last 10 years...everything looks like a mish mash of ergonomical f*** up compared to the 90's and early 00's. Toyota haven't made anything good looking for 10-15 years IMO.

Logically, it's the answer to the question, what do we have these days in the way of good value sports cars? All the traditional Jap imports are getting old, unreliable and boring. In the new car market, anything good looking (sweet f*** all) and decently quick (370Z, STi, R32) is a $60k+ affair. I think this car will have a brilliant little niche to itself...perfect sports car for young people.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
