    Default 2 new TRD GT86 Models Are Comming....

    The first model is the 86 TRD Customize Compact

    The second is the Gazoo Racing Griffon Concept

    The griffon concept is rumoured to have a lighter chassis and includes race spec suspension and exhaust, which if the Subaru BRZ Sti is anything to go by will see some pretty significant performance gains.

    I would not be surprised if by the end of 2013, buyers will have more than 20 different specifications to choose from when buying the Toyota 86.

    Unfortunately we will have to wait until January 11 2013 to see these new models unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

    As soon as the information is available i'll update this thread.

    Castle hill are bringing some of the TRD stuff in at stupidly expensive prices....

    I feel a bit guilty posting this thread as it really has no info in it... I also read today that there is a Subaru brz being unveiled as well that has a carbon fibre roof, bilstein suspension and a few other go fast bits

    kit: $2500 + paint $500
    brakes: $12000
    wheels: $2000 (add $1000 for tires)
    suspension + bracing: $4500
    interior bits+seats: $4000
    exhaust $1500

    so $22k isnt too bad. i really really want the trd brakes as the standard brakes are fucked after 2 hard circuit laps apparently. new pads and rotors needed. costs about $1000 retail for parts.....

    when im fully qualified i will start buying trd stuff. i want to now but its unnecessary for how i currently drive my 86 (daily and occasional hills)

    Griffon Concept



    Carbon Fibre Bumper, Roof, Bonnet, Doors.
    Polycarbonate windows

    More than 225kg of weight shedded

    Toyota claim that the GT 86 Griffon is quicker around the Tskuba circuit than a Ferrari 458 without any power upgrades. Just purely suspension and the weight reduction parts.
