Sydney/NSW

Just thought i'd start a thread for those of us considering this car who are in Sydney/NSW

I currently drive a 2002 Honda Integra DC5, so the plan is to sell it and buy the 86

Would be great to start a local community for meets, drives etc

Hey mate!

Pretty much, if the high spec is priced at under $45k drive away, I'm in. Otherwise, I have other options and will likely buy an 86 in a year or 2.
I'm definitely up for meets and cruises.

Hello, where's everyone from? Im from the Bankstown region. Currently driving an s15 but will be going for a low spec 86 when it arrives at dealers.

I second Skorov, I plan to sell my Swift and get the 86 if its under $45, hopefully the guy that speculated 38k drive away is right. I'm down for meet ups and cruises.

For cruise, if anyone is up for a scenic route...

Awesome that we have a small group, that will grow over time I'm sure
Seabridge does look awesome, just imagine a horde of BRZ/86s crusing that way esp to the Gong. Will be awesome fun!

Sydney meets and cruises are a great idea.But I won't be buying 86/brz until my VVTLi celica is dead.

Awesome!

As long as there will be no news about American Scion FR-S. Makes everything confusing between their market and ours.
