FRSupra's turn-key 86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FRSupra · 04-25-2013, 04:01 PM

This is my 86.

It came with an ancient device you insert into the ignition called a key. The locals know it as the "FR-S".

It has no screen.
It has no extravagant LED's.
It has no silly push button start.
It has no overworked red stitching.

And I appreciate that.

being the Toyota exclusive color, I found it only fitting to choose hot lava.

The first shots of my car in front of Palmiero Toyota:

Thank you to a great salesman, Dennis Barrett @Palmiero

To confuse the locals even more..

I put together a DIY on this using collective information from various threads on the forum, you can read all about it here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25659

Also want to shout-out to Luis @ Carson Toyota in the Los Angeles area for the fast and friendly service.

I wish Subaru had a hot lava color for the BR-Z. I have something similar on my Impreza and it looks great. Looks even better on the FR-S!

In retrospect, I believe hot lava is still the best looking color on this platform. Although WRB is fantastic, it's been synonymous with what Subaru does best, hence it's name. I still feel it's weird to see it on this car.

That said, if I could have chose anything it might have been the maroon metallic/red pearl on the mkIII.

This sits outside a local shop. Wish I had the money to save it.
