Martin - you took all this WAY WAY too personal... I never wanted to insult or make you feel bad about this topic - if i did - i would never put any smiles in my writings... But OH WELL... One point should be considered - its really hard to judge the car after simple test drive - thats all.. And for me - this is strange then people give STRONG opinions after driving ANY CAR (not only FRSGT86BRZ) just after few Km's... The reason i got in this discusion - is that i live my last 5 years over GT-Fours daily - i work on them, drive them - even have personal one... And i know this car just as YOU DO. And i was feeling EXACT The same way after first 100 miles in FRS JUST LIKE you wrote. But everything changes once you spend more time in FRS... Anyway - dont get personal, sorry if you was feeling somehow bad and was thinking im trying to some how bash your option - this isnt so. Just dont see a point doing so. But one question - i will answer for you QUOTE You really should ask your self question why you are here. Why you are between 6gc enthusiasts? That is first of all. Because i spent way too much time between some of these guys here then you where NOT EVEN AROUND here, because i spent LAST 12 YEARS with 6GC celicas - and because i had MORE THEN 40 of them in my freaking life Because i can put this car from pieces, and because i still work on them and i guess i will do till i die Maybe this is why im still here lol I thought you knew this (read this in a FUN WAY, and cheer up.) |

Martin - QUOTE I want - every day - to overtake car FAST when I need it. That is why just this simple test was enough (in terms of every day used acceleration compared with my car = fat old ST205). You really AINT DROVE it then. Really. Or drove it till 4K rpm in 6 gear... ever heard about Downshift? ... Fun starts at 5500rpm and last till very 7400 easily And once you in next gear - it aint over Just cant read what you are trying to say about this car - cuz 80% of this isnt true... (i know that in your GT4 its a DIFERENT story - you dont need to downshift - you need to find some BOOOOOOst ) And once you in next gear - it aint over Just cant read what you are trying to say about this car - cuz 80% of this isnt true... Yes - GT4 is FAST. BUT - take the stock GT4 - and it would be close race between these 2. Stock GT4 and GT86 = GT86 would whop GT4's ass on ANY track - thats period. You are used to 350hp+ car - and THIS IS why it feels 'slow' for you... And to be honest - GT4 is not much more spacier Reading your description - it looks like GT86 is somthing like a Polski Fiat and your GT4 is Cadillac Devile.. About drift / grip - GT86 / FRS - with RIGHT combination tires pulled 1G in cornering test - now go figure... Really - dont JUDGE this car if you aint experienced it. And you picked WRONG car to compare it to... Really If you are trying to WRITE YOUR thoughts WHY YOU DONT NEED GT86 - then name this topic right then QUOTE In short I want sports car that can be used in normal life. ST205 meets all to the letter. GT86 is not... Damn is not. No it doesnt. ST205 is 2 door, has a tiny trunk, not comfortible at all and so on - i can go day and night if you want. If you need a SPORTS car that can be used daily - get a STi, a FREAKING STi - it will be a 4 door (so you will be able to put a kid seat in it too!) it will have a NORMAL trunk! and you will be able to put a Roof rack on it also! And it will be atleast 10 times MORE fun to drive then ST205! Try it - and you will see! Dont close your eye to other options - and strap your self to freaking ST205 - cuz its not the worlds number 1 car at all And YES - GT86 is a sports car for a NORMAL life - exept what you call a NORMAL life? For me NORMAL life - is havinga car that it was designed for - Daily - cheap / realible / low fuel consumption. Weekend - get what you want - cuz its YOUR weekend / free time toy! I just have a NORMAL family car. By NORMAL i mean NORMAL - wich is economical, diesel (low end torque), spacy (i can carry LOTS OF THINGS at ONE TIME lol - not one thing from your list one time ) and its called Corolla Verso.And i DONT need to RACE / drag race with my family / friends on board... GT86 is my toy to play around, and then im playing - i DONT NEED 3 more people to be in my car Because i enjoy playing alone - and be responsible for my own life GT86 is ment to be LEGO in reall life. You are buing a BASE for a tune-up. Everything else - is just you imagination. It will be super fun car on the snow (not like oversized GT4 pig that all it does - understeers in EVERY corner...). GT86 is a bit histerical with its back end, but with the right setup (shocks / swaybars) it will be super smooth in the corners even in the wet / snow. Cant wait to be honest to try it out in winter.... |

Martin - if you spent week driving GT86 - we could talk then - and you COULD compare cars by then... But after few Km's - its crazy a bit to give opinion.... And if you are only driving in straight line - then you need a dragster then.... I felt in love with this car round after 500miles... First 200 was like hmmm whats so special about it? But later on - you find all the small details about driving, steering, drifting - and theres more then enouth of power to get you from point A to B with enouth of fun and smile. Later this week - we will have BRZ drive on our local track with profesional driver. it will be REALLY nice to compare time of it to GT-Four and SSIII (Martynas car with ~300hp and Vidmantas SSIII) and see how much difference will be... |

I bought it. BOUGHT IT IN USA - and imported over here. and i LOVE it. Love it 10x more then ANY GT-Four. As i said before GT-Four is a boat... boat on water... As FRS is a jetski. Period. GT-four is OK for power - but if we are talking about GT-four - then i would take any GC chasis STi over GT-four ANYTIME. You can NOT compare GT86 / FRS / BRZ to a GT-four - thats a differnet league car. Price? well - in EU it is overpriced... but as i imported it from USA - saved round 8K$ So its all good till issues with the Warranty stuff will pop up... Also - you should not that Base prices starts at 24xxx + TAX! So you get round 27K easily... And its not even NEAR 7 gen celica... sorry - but 7Gen doesnt even deserve to be called celica IMHO... |

I forgot you had a friend in the States buy it and ship it to you. I saw the Illinois plate and I was a bit concerned that I should have paid more attention to a map. Haha yea I get the same questions here (even from Police) how the hell and WHY the hell Illionois plates I can still drive it like this for a year - so im thinking keeping it on US plates for now... |

I'v done around 40 RHD to LHD conversions - and ALL - i mean ALL OF THE RHD sound deadning covers - just tear into pieces if you try to remove it... No matter how gently you do this - they still get off in zilion pieces LHD ones are fine even after almost 20 years! The last conversion that im doing is 99' GT-Four with only 57K km - and STILL firewall cover got broken into 100 pieces |

Heh - im doing all the seals with the same thing - handgun and finger You have to be patient, and wet your finger ALWAYS (glass of water - always helps here - to prevent sticking all the sealant to your fingers!) Also - bulkheads are NOT TOTALLY different. The only difference is the opening for Air pick'up - all you have to do is drill out 4 point welds - cut the opening on the other side - and weld the the metal that you drilled out on the other side Theres no need to hack the way you did Actually RHD and LHD chasis is exactly the same - there are all the points where to weld on both chases - if you look close you will notice that there are clues all around the chasis left where every bracket / bolts and etc needs to be welded. |

Sealed Holy $hit - whats happend here with the sealant???? You could have spent more time - and did it the right way... Atleast on the outside - engine bay.... Hope you do sealed under the welding place, and from inside - sealed the place where firewall meets the top? Cuz if not - you will have lots of water pretty soon.... If done right - here how it should look (This is the oposite swap - RHD to LHD) |

Ah... Well - as im a bit on the Tall side (6'5) maybe this is why it was no problem for me, cuz my seat is always as far as possible.. Nice solution! But it would be pretty hard for me to implement it in the 'mass' production and it would be pretty hard for 90% of people to install it.... And im not telling you that you are bashing something! Constructive criticism is best thing actually!! |

vid's coming soon! So I bought the DCW gauge cluster, but the design blocks all of your warning lights from view.. really frustrating to spend that much and have such a design flaw. I'm not to be able to see my gas light when it comes on... so that needed to change. So I came up with a solution and will post pics soon. You are the first person to mention this... Kinda strange - cuz i had these covers on all of my celicas and never had any problems (and no one mention anything like this before who bought a cover...) with the warning lights - cuz if somthing lights up - it clearly visible that the corner where the glasses for the warning lights are all lights up pretty good... its not a design flaw - there is no other 'easy' solution to get around this... Its just not that EASY visible with the cover.. Anyway - post what solution you come up - it will be intresting to see it |
