i also very much doubt we'll ever see an AWD variant. it seems that this car is and always was designed to be FR through and through. i cant think of any other FR's that have ever also had 4wd added.

inb4 "whatabout skylines f4ggot" ... you can make a 4wd into a 2wd easy, but you cant really make a 2wd into a 4wd.. unless you happen to have more money than brain cells. and skylines were designed in many variants to cover a much larger market sector than what the gt86 appears to be aimed at.

hsv coupe 4

XF falcon sort of did (some were made as prototypes)

That's beside the point because the r35 evolved to how it looks, do you think it would look the same if the previous r32 r33 and r34gtr's never existed?

More like , nissan was taken over by peugot , Every car they have made since then has been FUGLY , they should re-hire the old nissan designers

That car is an aesthetic catastrophe, what did they do, poach designers from ssangyong ?

LOL

I think they were just cheap and available back in the day plus you have the initial D thing going on.

I'd imagine they have a chassis about as stiff as a 80 year olds dick with a bad hangover, so not that great to drift really.

I thought that was the whole thing going on with the ae86 , cheap shitter that weighed f*kall so it handled ok? .in 10 years , what else will there be that's any good to drift??

GT86

Ummm...

You don't suppose, that if I make an appointment at the Toyota Dealership on 15/7/12 dressed in my pinstripe suit; and after the salesman photostats my licence, he'd let me cruise down the road on my lonesome and...

...rip it around the SAU.NSW Texi which is coincidentally on the 15th of July?

Huh?

...and do the right thing > fill out a Feedback Form later on?

Emphasis on handling balance (CoG) and power-to-weight ratio over outright power figures.

147kW and about 1210kg gives a power/weight ratio of 120kW/tonne, similar to the stock S15 in Oz (without the torque of the turbo though).

Would it be too outrageous to ask for a TRD Demonstrator version beforehand too?

it, like any car, just needs a lil love...

i want one!

That looks badass. So much better than stock. I think it's pretty exciting that someone is going to be making another RWD sports coupe. It looks like a modern day car that will be more of a drivers car. There are tons of WRX's that are off their heads, this will be no different. People will modify them and they will be sweet cars. Nissan should do another version of the Silvia.

I can't wait to have one in at work and take it for a spin, it's about time Toyota made another RWD car.

No doubt there will be a plethora of aftermarket engine enhancements to get this thing really moving!

The haters need to read Peter Robinson's views on the 86 in the latest Wheels magazine. He's driven more cars than I've had hot dinners, and in terms of purity of feel and experience, he rates it above the MX-5 and any current car on the market.

I personally love this car. I love the look, the sound of a boxer, fact its FR, everything.

I can almost certainly see myself buying one brand new in a couple of years, keeping it as a daily for 4-5 years before slapping a turbo on it.

i'm surprised the MX-5 even gets in the ratings at all???

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
