Soon, I will post the full review.. The base interior being offered here might not impress many people at least after looking at the AED95K price..

Here is a preliminary review:

Yea I saw the review yesterday.

Still the real awkward bit about the interior is the lack of an arm-rest on center console

I tried that in the fiat 500. Im not used to this , its not comfortable to sit without arm-rest. But guess what I found in this forum:








cured

[ROJ]

Detailed review is out:

http://www.86cult.com/2012/08/05/tes...l-trim-part-2/

Yeah the armrest is missing but I dont care, my hands stayed on the gear knob or steering.. Yet one of the people that drove the car started complaining about it, *** :P...

ROJ.... one of my friends in selling his sr20det powered ae86 (actually its an 85)
Damn, if it was street friendly I would buy it

asking price is ....... 70K dirhams @_@ I told him no one will buy it at this much!!! gcc spec YES, but not a real AE86

EJ send me quality shots, story and details about the car, I will make an article about and hint its being sold, I am sure somone in the local communities could ask for it...

[Gawain]

Help ! is it true that there is only one option for the manual ? and its not possible to make special order??

[ROJ]

There is an option to make special orders... Though I suggest you drive both and try the automatic in both modes to better decide... Last night I met member ft86-UAE and saw his friends turbo'ed 86.. I drove his automatic 86 in sport mode and I take my word back about that auto being dull..

Also, here is another glimpse about the turbo 86:

[Gawain]

-I spoke to 3 salesmen in two diffrent showroom, they said no special orders .

-I cant drive auto . My lift leg always searches for the clutch every time i drive auto. For me driving auto is weird.

Thats too much but its half true.

Also, here is another glimpse about the turbo 86:

-I will read it later.

Strange.. They told us during the launch day that they are open for any special orders..

I will contact the marketing dept, asap, and discover if they tell me something I am not aware of..

You know how UAE dealerships are.....

He is on it now, thu he is not into photography but hopfully he'll have good ones. How about a story of my ex 86.

Damn, I want an 86 again. I have few 86 friends but non want to sell me his (on of them have a gcc spec 86 and will convert it to RHD makes me feel sad as the gcc spec is so rare and he want to just spoile it!)

Oh, and I just bought a 07 GDF so clean and virgin has only 50k km's



This will be my own toy for now (and I still look for ae86/r30/r31 as a JNC) I just still in love with 80s and 90s J's

You know one time I called your friend (who bought the red 86 from that filipino guy) I still have his number, but he was asking a space craft price for a stock 86 how is the 20v going now :P
I want another 86 too but damn no luck yet! I have one ticket to import one car from outside and its gonna expire soon (Jan 2013)
