For what it's worth, I got a really nice 86 Jacket. I must remember to take pics. Black and white, warm, bit, orange 86 logo on the back.

Cool, you do realise the instructions are in milimeters and not feet, right?

I very rarely take my car out in the rain, but when I do, it's normally just to have some fun on a wet road.


Here's a short hooning video.

What I found really interesting and quite scary (at the very end of the vid @ 00:15) is that I was accelerating at half throttle in 3rd, then at about 120kph (6500rpm), I put my foot down and she broke traction again - phew.

BTW, I'm quite proud that, despite playing around blipping the throttle with extreme wheelspin around 7000rpm in 2nd, you'll see that I never once hit the rev limiter. Cool.

Take Care!! Our cars can be death traps on a wet road.

Step 2 - get rid of the little Toyota badge. GT86 is all they need to know!

The problem with current setup is symmetry - there is that vacant lot on the right side. Maybe worth a try - up to you!
