I want that new aluminum intake manifold. Hopefully someone can make a 1:1 replica of it.

Has this newish video been posted on the forum already? Not that there is anything good or interesting about the video itself, but it's another video showing the 2017 86.

probably, but then you'll have all those blank or non-functional steering wheel buttons.

Saw the Asphalt in person yesterday, looks quite nice. I agree the side 86 badge is cheesy. The headlights are not as nice as the monospec models, but still better than MY2013 stock

Smaller steering wheel makes it feel more responsive and tighter
Dampening is very good and smooth, though it was a very smooth road, little to no rattle and the body just seemed stiffer.


I wonder if the 4.3 final drive is swappable to both the Manual and auto as well.

Speaking of Ohai, California, our friends at Redline:Review is doing some creative stuff with this car preparing for the next review of the Toyota 86 the unit has TRD items on it. It's not like Zaku is out there shooting pictures etc etc.

Actually I have an aftermarket HU , it has a harness just lying empty behind thats supposed to fit into the steering wheel controls. Hopefully its compatible , its supposed to fit OEM Toyota steering wheel controls like those in Corollas,RAV4s..etc.

Plus that shiny 86 logo looks nice
