Woohoo! was it Pauline that helped you? She called today to let me know my GT should be in mid July, and about 2 weeks to get paper work sorted etc etc...should be end July drive away....woo hooo

[Nikkojoe]

Nar I got Andrew. Wonder if Pauline would have been better...

But yeah GT's seem easier to get, I think they are too cheap and people dont want them now lol. If the rumours that they are bringing an equal split of each spec in is true then they might have to change it to more gts manuals....

[Matt]

Have you sussed out the wiring diag of the new engine...

Gonna take a bit of effort to get a haltech to run this one.

[wideslider]

Yeah Matt, I had one out there today. It made 109.5 in stock form. I drop my car to them next week for them to work on for 3 weeks.

[Gunner]

Im soo fucking jelly :( I dont get to play with one for ages :( (looks at Matt)

[Nikkojoe]

Yeah Matt, I had one out there today. It made 109.5 in stock form. I drop my car to them next week for them to work on for 3 weeks.

It would be pretty interesting to see the gains with just a tune. I know they make a few hp more with just a bolt on intake pipe+ a pod with no tune. I wonder if it's possible to do an Otr intake with a virtually straight intake pipe (will find out when I look at it next week).

[slowKeto]

Subaru claims BRZ STI 180kw @ flywheel

still non turbo :O

Also; subaru are not allowed to sell any BRZ's for 13months because thats thr arrangement toyota have with them.

[Gunner]

Whered you here that? Supposedly the first batch is on its way as of this week, and I know 2 workshops and 1 individual who have purchased cars out of that batch.

[Nikkojoe]

Dealer gets cars tomorrow, should test drive Tuesday. Can't wait!

[Gunner]

Id be there tomorrow lol

[Vance]

does anyone know if you can get the full trd kit as options on the car? been seriously considering buying one

[Nikkojoe]

Toyota will probably announce something on trd availability next month according to a tmca rep, but for now there is a workshop apparently in nsw that will be selling trd shit.


Hi all, i said last week i would update you folks on the availability of TRD parts aftermarket.

I've now met the guy i was talking about last week and i should have a catalogue and pricing guide by the end of next week. These parts are not dealer supplied nor fitted so factory warranty will not apply to any non genuine supplied aftermarket part nor any other genuine parts potentially damaged by them.

Also, i found out that once you fit the full TRD kit - the rear bumper needs to be adjusted to fit the rear skirt - this is a permanent adjustment and cannot be turned back to factory standard without replacing the rear bumper.

More news next week.

Alternatively north shore Toyota in nz will probably be able to help you out too.

[Vance]

yes I went to a dealership today and got the same kind of answer. could someone put up the pricing guide to get trd stuff aftermarket?

[Nikkojoe]

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5463 - gives you an idea on stuff, but is for usa really.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showpost.php?p=245216&postcount=38 - contact details for NST

As for the NSW source, have to wait till sometime this week for an update on that. It's a dealer going through another company which already have stuff comming in.

You can get it in some way, but the ease of getting it is mainly the issue. I have a feeling that within the next few months dealers could order trd options for you.

[Vance]

I have a feeling that within the next few months dealers could order trd options for you.

thats what im waiting for. dont care if its 6 months from now. im not going to use it as a track car, just daily. is200 will do until then, and is200 will be traded in then anyway

[rthy]

the toyota.com.au website updated, has the body kit option, kinda looks like that trd zz celica

[Vance]

front lip extras, skirts are the same as trd, rear valance and wing are different. i would rather just get the front lip extras, skirts from toyota here, and import the rear valance and wing from japland and put it all on a gt.

nothing beats the trd ducktail

soo hot

[KePanelVan]

I dunno about the clear tail lights and as for color it would have to be white or "mt fuji red" mmmmm

[Moebius]

Has anyone looked into insurance yet?

[johl]

i know they sell some red lens cover film that a lot of people have put on the current model wrx to hide those ugly chrome tail lights. maybe do the same to this?

Insurance is up on aami, just car, nrma/sgio, rac in some states. As an idea I got a quote of 900 for $40k agreed value

[AJPS]

had a look touch feel play with a couple last night

pretty impressed

Wow, so it is. I didn't even think to check, figured it wouldn't be up for a while.

[Celica RA45]

we were going to buy 1 ,but the boot is 2 small and my missus has said the seats are a pain to get in ,as she says this is a young guys car ,and she also said its bigger than her old ta22 gt but boot is smaller and no room in back seat

Personally i don't see that as a reason not to buy one.

The 86 is definately not a family car / one to take shopping... Though its a drivers / sporty car...

the boot isnt too bad in my opinion

[Celica RA45]

but if you wont to go away overseas and leave car at the airport theres just not enough room for 2 suitcases and 2 carry ons .so we will stay with the mazda 6 hatch

[Delazy]

but if you wont to go away overseas and leave car at the airport theres just not enough room for 2 suitcases and 2 carry ons .so we will stay with the mazda 6 hatch

Personally I dnt think I'd do that...cab/bus/lift instead...so no worries...

Mazda 6 isn't a bad car anyways...

[dove grey 64]

rear seats fold down and there is enough space for four full sized wheels and tyres, pretty much the same space as the original 86 with the seats folded down.

[Vance]

^ very good call. lugging space is designed to be able to fit 4 17's with tires when the rear seats are down.

[gg004]

test drove the new 86 yesterday and loved it. the sales man said id have a long wait to get one but apparantly toyota is not bringing many in

[Nikkojoe]

I really want to see a white one in person but the only one I know of in wa is in katanning which funnily enough is 286km south of Perth...

Nfi why they needed one lol...

[LukeKE11]

Is there any truth to this suggestion that they are only bringing roughly 3500 to aus?

[Matt]

I doubt the numbers will stay like that... World wide I don't think Toyota estimated the success of this car.

There is allot of cars available around the country, you've just got to travel a little to get one and not be too set on a particular colour.

[Nikkojoe]

1500 this year, 1800 next year and 1200 the year after. The last year is small because they are going to change to a facelift model midway

These figures were released some time ago and may increase slightly if tmca can successfully get more cars.

[AJPS]

i seriously reckon they will sell them all pretty easy

[LukeKE11]

Why would you spend so much on model development and then sell so little of them? yes I understand they sell in many markets

[Matt]

They probably based those numbers on Aurion sales figures.... And surely they'd review them given the waiting periods being experienced.

[Tally]

just a heads up guys, mate showed me a picture of a warehouse full of em in Adelaide so fair few already here waiting to go! He is a courier driver and was dropping things off and seen them all there

Also seen the red one at CMI West Terrace and a dark blue one pulling in around the back, looked tough from the rear!

[McLEVIN]

well post it haha

[Tally]

It was on his phone, imagine a gloomy warehouse full of 86's lol. He said he was like wtf jackpot when he seen them

[johl]

i'l wait for a black limited.....

as as for aurion sales figues - anyone who buys an aurion wont want an 86 and visa versa

[ecko]

It there some sort of agreement between subaru and toyota on sales?
ive heard subaru wern't aloud to sell them in aus for 18months? Maybe thats why toyoya will limit sales to leave some sales for subaru?

Load of shit, guy in Perth has his brz waiting for delivery next month when it's officially released. Pricing will be released soon( July) but for now the website has been updated. Only 200brz are going to be sold this year

[Dave]

Its official. Red 86 on west tce! My gf spotted it so i thought id check it for myself and i must say very nice car. Sat inside the car very snug somewhat similar to s2000 and mx5. Not much room in rear (the celicas had more room!) would suit old couple as wkend car or young enthusiast with only one passenger.

[Vizz]

Model: GTS
Colour: Mount Fuji Red, listed in dealer database as lightning red
Transmission: Manual
Expected Delivery: At least a few months
Payment Method: 1/4 deposit, rest finance.
Factory Extras: Normal GTS features, probably go with dealer fitted rust protection and paint protection when it arrives.
Planned Mods: Coilovers, different wheels.
Test Driven / Comments /Advice For Other Members: Definitely take one for as spin. Exciting!

[s13 james]

is anyone buying one planning to slide it haha?

[McLEVIN]

Probs take it to matsuri or at least a private day

[Frak]

Went and had a look today, guy said about 8 month waiting list, so looks like I'll have to wait to next year. was nice to sit in, very low seating position, felt good, actually felt bigger inside than I thought it would. Overall I quite like. White GTS spec for me.

[t-nol]

Not enough head room for me with a helmet, same space as the AE86 with sunroof, helmet will hit. Convinced myself with help from wife of not getting one just yet..... then....
The bloody next door neighbour, like right next door, drives their new 86 home, now i have to fight the urge everyday......... BASTARDS !!!

[Matt]

If any genuine Sydney buyers are about to put down a deposit , shoot me a pm first and I will pass on some contact details of someone who will look after you.

[t-nol]

There's next to no options, and they aren't going to budge on the price, how could someone "look after you" ?
Have you got yours yet Matt?

[Matt]

Details will be revealed in good time... There are other ways to be looked after rather than just base pricing.

[t-nol]

You know what Toyota should do, is offer a driving training day with these cars, to get to know your new toy in a controlled environment.

[Matt]

As in a track day???

[Vance]

i know they sell some red lens cover film that a lot of people have put on the current model wrx to hide those ugly chrome tail lights. maybe do the same to this?

much nicer eh?

[Gunner]

Thats nice

[McLEVIN]

Tnol do an advanced driving course.

[t-nol]

I've done one thanks.
The pricing probably eliminates any chance of it, but imagine each boy wonder in his new 86 actually knowing the limits of it after the training course, FPV offer this training course with instructors and what not and it's a real hit, and helps the company's public image by educating new customers to fast street cars.

[Matt]

That isnt a bad idea... I'll feed that back to my contact at Toyota, but having said that though the new 86 isn't exactly a power house car.

[t-nol]

True, but you don't need too much power to get yourself into trouble, just too much ambition.

[meadan]

By the looks of the toyota advertising, they are keen to sell it as a 'drivers car'. So it sounds like a decent idea.

VW, mercedes and alot of the other manufacturers do it already for people who buy their semi decent models...

[sundee]

Spotted one today, black down at picton ( local shops ) it's in the sticks. Anyone on here own it?

[NIZLAH]

see plenty of these rolling through work getting compliance plates and extras fitted.. there's a shitload of them in the yard as well (Brisbane port)

[GTVAE86]

At Toyota here in Adelaide on West Terrace, the sales person said that the waiting time for the car has gone from 3 months up to and over 18 months in some places.

I am definately itching to put money down, but having to wait more than a year is making me hold on and see what happens. Wish I put a deposit earlier now it will just be frustrating.

[ae8zn6]

There will probs be second hand cars available before 18 months rolls around :S

[Tally]

man id just wait and buy second hand or wait for updated model when it comes out...

[Matt]

Rumours out there that Toyota are dropping the spare tyre and cargo mat and replacing with a tyre repair kit...

Pretty silly idea if you ask me.

[Az86]

was driving in the brisbane valley the other night and came across this new ft 86 sexy as shit!

BC and rota and chrome tints

[johl]

bc, rota, chrome.... sounds like option 1's 86?

[Matt]

Most likely... i got a call today, my car won't be ready this month.. hmmmm sounds like the august date I was promised was just to get me to put pen to paper and take up the lease..

Not much point in getting upset about it, as its not like they can push a 24x7 factory any harder...

[McLEVIN]

Think I'm gonna give up on owning one. I really have mo love for it. Unless I can convince my dealer to take it to the hills.
I want another ae86.

I wonder if I can sell my spot in the pre order?

[Nikkojoe]

Well my dealer contacted me over the weekend to tell me that i'm still expecting December delivery of mine. Contacted me today about a white one that just came in to look at so it might be a good excuse for another test drive :P

call him up and ask to take the demo through the hills

if youve paid at least a deposit he would be made not to keep you happy

and if you drive it in the hills you will be happy

Model: GTS
Colour: Blue Transmission: Manual
Expected Delivery: 30th October
Payment Method: Partial Payment + Finance
Factory Extras: Tinting, paint protection, 6 year 200,000km warranty
Planned Mods: none while its still under the 3 year new car warranty.
after that: full trd bodykit, exhaust, coilovers, rear camber kit, front + rear strut braces, wide+dished 17's all round
after that: decompress + 1bar through a t4, bigger brakes

[Matt]

Awesome.. Tell my leasing company your tricks as they can't get their shit together for me...

[ae8zn6]

That's a little annoying... Hoping I get the blue GTS manual I ordered 3 months ago by then, but as the tracker doesn't have the car as in production yet I highly doubt it. Was supposed to receive mine at the end of this month but as I have clearly missed this build month I guess the best I can hope for is November :(

[Nikkojoe]

I got updated that I'm first in line now at my dealer, with a now estimated build date of November. WA doesn't get tracking as we are run under another group seperate to TMCA.

Currently 150 outstanding GTS orders to be completed with the state receiving 4 per month. Approx 3 years wait :P

riojin - I assume your car is either built or getting built now? Good idea for no mods yet since there are still issues with the vvti on the motor!

how did you jump the waiting?

[Vance]

luck

i went into atoyota dealership near my mums and told them i wanted a white gts manual. they said 18 months minimum. they also told me that a guy from qld (dunno why he was ordering through a dealership in nsw 2hrs south of sydney) just had his finance refused 5mins before i spoke to him so his car was up for grabs. blue gts manual. salesman said he didnt want to bother calling someone who placed an order later that they would be getting it early and just gave it to me.

luck ftw


i didnt like the idea of blue to begin with but looking on google images i like blue more than white now.


car is being built in sept, ready for delivery for the end of october

thats sick

seems like he kept trying dealers that didnt have an 18 month waiting list?

[ae8zn6]

salesman said he didnt want to bother calling someone who placed an order later that they would be getting it early

more likely he knew that it would guarantee the sale to you! He already had the other person's money, lol. Well played sir, congratulations!

I must agree that the blue looks v nice, although I do wish we could have the Subaru blue without being turn cloaks...

[Beck]

I've ordered mine on the weekend and like a chump am waiting the 12 months or whatever quite happily, knowing that this is the last year I'll be driving my Sprinter, so I plan on enjoying it.

[McLEVIN]

Well my gts has arrived after 7months but I have sadly declined it basically being too financially risky in my current situation. Oh well some lucky bastard will get one sooner than he expected.

[Matt]

Nooooooooooooooooo

[dove grey 64]

Well my gts has arrived after 7months but I have sadly declined it basically being too financially risky in my current situation. Oh well some lucky bastard will get one sooner than he expected.

that sucks, but unlike our ae86's there are going to be heaps of 86's in the near future getting cheaper and probably better equipped. better looking after your finances

[LukeKE11]

I test drove one properly through the hills this weekend. Just gotta work out what colour to order now. Wish I could see a white one in real life but there doesn't seem to be any in Adelaide
