What do you think about the audio system? Do you like the stock sound? Did you also get any TRD accessories with your purchase or just the car? lot of questions

Thanks

For sure. So I drove the OG edition briefly when it first came out as one of my friends had one. Just on the street so can't really make a proper assessment but so far I'm loving my 86.

Currently it is bone stock, no TRD accessories at all but took a little drive through some hills we have nearby and boy does this handle a whole lot better than my S13 (RIP).. Felt like I was on rails out there and I did not even realize how fast I was going until I looked. It just feels fun to drive.

As far as the audio system I am okay with it.. I mean I went from a 1991 240sx to a 2018 86 lol So it is night and day to me.

Other than that, I do have some coilovers coming in the mail in the next couple of days as I personally don't like the huge wheel gap. Going to be rocking the Cusco Kouki Street Zero A's (Need to double check on that) and replacing the Air filter with a K&N drop in once that comes in the mail. Other than that I've been looking up wheel options and will probably get some Michelin Pilot Super Sports.. still debating on those.

This is my daily car so it has to be reliable but I plan on taking it into the hills from time to time and maybe a few track days or autocross events here and there.

anyone else to share experience with the 2018 86?

This is my first post ever, and it's to say, has anyone noticed that you can't even "build" a 2018 86 GT on Toyota's website anymore?

Actually I did right now! A nice oceanic Manual GT with the limited accessories.

Welcome to posting, 86prime ........

If you can't build an 2018 86 on your computer, you may want to refresh the page or reboot it ....

I meant to say you can build the base 86, but you can't build the GT or GT Black trims on the Toyota website anymore. Or is it just me, or maybe my location entry?

Hopefully we see one here at the dealer

Bounxou · 04-05-2018, 04:15 PM

Yeah from my understanding when trying to purchase mine it seems quantities were very limited. It would have been nice if they added production info on these trims to know ur special number ( 12 of 1775) like they do for some of the previous models.
