Yea that was me! I was at a buddies showing off the new car!

Aznek, Comparing the GT4 to the 86, I can tell you right off the bat the 86 handles better with the factory suspension! There is no roll in the 86 which really impresses me about this car.

The GT4 in terms of speed is obviously the winner, but the 86 is pretty torqy surprisingly. I am driving still breaking it in so I am not redlining it yet!

Interior in the 86 is smaller then my Celica, but its surprisingly more roomier! The dead pedal is bigger, and the seats I think are just as comfy as the OEM Recaros my GT4 Has. The shifter is as smooth as butter for both cars, with the 86 Having the shorter gear throws. Back Seats for the GT4 are definitely more spacey though.

Here is a picture of my Celica and the Interior:





I'll post some pictures up of my new car now!

Here it is the day I picked it up!



First thing I did the same day I picked it up was rebadge the vehicle:



I also purchased the DC Sports 1011 exhaust tips to better compliment dat ass the 86 comes with.

Before:



After:





Here it is at my friends shop removing the DRL and just checking out the under body of the car:



It's hard to see, but here's a picture of the underbody:



And last night, I had the chance to change the lights to 5k HID's that my friend hooked me up with!

Crappy comparison of 5K Vs Stock:





Finished!

Nice!

Congrats on the pick up! I like your GT4 as well. I think I've seen your car around too..


How is the cutoff with the stock halogen projectors? And out of curiosity, which badges did you use?

[Aznek]

Those exhaust tips look so much better!

[Saibot]

TooooOoOo much headlight glare!

Might be the camera lol. I'll be heading to Heffner's Scion charity car event. Anyone heading up? Also, I went over to check out a BRZ with a friend and can't believe how stunning WRB is on this car! WANT:

For anyone still waiting in KW, here's a bit of info on my car (deposit May 14, one of the cars that was to come into the dealership as unsold). Apparently it is supposed to be at the dealership (Cambridge) very soon, as it shows in inventory (according to my salesguy, this previously meant they got the car the day it showed that).

Picking up my car on Friday morning...

Yesterday around 6pm I spotted dark grey either FR-S or BRZ, did not catch the badges, it was just a split moment, was making left turn off Huron Rd. Looks great! I don't recall anyone on the forum in KW mentioning dark grey car, maybe the person isn't on the forums.

Actually, that was probably me! She's an FR-S - Asphalt 6MT. Just picked it up last friday.
