well i travelled across the country to find a dark grey one, which together with tinted windows looks just badass. Each colour has it's own charm though.. i think white and silver looks more classy. orange and red look good but it draws a lot more attention to the car. Look around on these forums, there are compilations by colour to help you make up your mind.
Also it could just be the dealer is trying to make you change your mind bc he doesn't have a red one in stock

@Vladror, yeah he showed me a red yaris n said its da same red, the pics of the red on the forum look sexc- well my opninion. da orange " in 2 minds " the orange of the old 350z was nasty so thats already a turn off- the white looks wicked but iv seen 3 in durban already.. sure it will be apopular colour coz of the pearl. the compilation shows sum good pics then again sum pics the red looks hot n sum its dull n orangy. on oxl last nyt i saw a red 86b advertised and well not looking that grand.. my thawt is u shild see all of them n then make a descision- Toyota SA didn bring any orange 1z in.. Dark gey as that dark grin to it- but i like da red-alota prestigious sports cars came in red lol. still utterly confused lmao

Guys i was looking at the 86 specs vs golf 5 gti and opel coupe turbo - all make 147kw but obviously turbo car makes more torque, but 400m times and 1km times are near identical, only acceleration in higher gears the 86 gets trumped. 147 kw honda type R vs 86, honda kills the toyota on 0-100 and top end times yet again 400m and 1km near identical. even golf 6 gti vs 86 on the 400m only 0.3sec diff.. realy impressed ,here i was thinking the 86 was no show to the popular gti. jus sum info guys- website i was on www.zeperfs.com

Hi Guys...

Just adding my 2cents and saying Hi from JHB (Edenvale). Loving my 86! :-) Just need to plan some time on the track if anyone here would be keen on meeting up for a little 86 get together.

SAP · 10-01-2012, 01:16 PM

Add me in from JHB as well.

Hi All.

HellBoy 86 · 10-01-2012, 05:02 PM

Welcome brian and sap..

Crewzern · 10-03-2012, 06:29 AM

Never went on a track so count me in

brian_c_m · 10-03-2012, 12:12 PM

Never been on a track either. Would be very keen to try it out. :-)

So how much do you all LOVE sliding your 86. I still have the nanny controls switched on but it's still so much fun having the back slip out a little bit going around a bend!! :-D

i've started referring to it as 'lazy cornering', just understeer and let the car break out to get round the corner

coming home from work today, it was raining which makes it even easier, even with the nannies on.
