Congrats!

All these posts are sometimes making me feel that I will be the poorest GT86 owner in the country, lol.

Everyone seems to be buying mods, yet I struggled to afford the radiator cap as an add-on.

Is dark but nice. I'm guessing you have a lot of spare parts, yes?

Beautiful.

That is one sexy looking machine. I do beleive you also qualify for the most expensive FRS on the road. ( Non vendor ). It's good to see all of us around the world losing our minds and pocketbooks on this car.

Wow, that is a serious machine! TRD must be psyched to finally have a performance vehicle to develop parts for again Congratulations and enjoy!

Only driven it for 30km so far and not being a real "driver" I don't really have the "feel" for a car like a more experienced track day driver but my initial impression was "wow, those brakes are sensisitive".

I had to make sure I didn't tap them quite as hard coming to traffic lights etc as they stopped the car pretty quickly. I thought the stock brakes were pretty good but the brake pedal now seems like it was almost spongy before compared to the BBK.

My other initial thought was that there was a bit more road noise. More of a rumble from the road. I turned the music off to listen and still not sure if it is exhaust rumble or road noise (our roads are either asphalt or stone chip on asphalt, not concrete) due to the lower profile tyres. I think it may be a combo of the two.

I'm keen to get some of the other local 86 owners in it so they can compare as they may be more sensitive to the feel than me.
