WA: Just picked up My White GTS Manual! - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

Hey guys, just picked up my White GTS Manual from New Town Toyota.

I'm pretty happy with the result! Drive feels great seating position is perfect and every other thing you've heard before is true!
My only gripe with the car is the boot liner coving the spare wheel... I mean c'mon it's hideous!
Also sense of speed is a little out with this car but in time I/We'll get used to it.
Definately glad I went with the GTS and not the GT. It's just the little differences that (in my opinion) make it look better and feel more comfortable.

Anyway no time for talking, time to drive!

Also had a few people pull right up to check the car out and had a few curious people take photo of the car while on the road (don't know what they'll see coz it's pitch black outside!)

Cheers,

Matt

Finally a white one in Perth, and in the same spec I want. Currently the only one I can see in person is in Katanning :/

BigM · 06-25-2012, 07:23 AM

Is that a 'pure' white or the metalic/pearl white like Subaru's current WRX colour?

I thought it was going to be a pearl but looks like a normal white (which I'd prefer!) in your pic?

Either way, looks awesome, congrats!

Hah I think many people in Perth actually want to check out this car since it's mostly what people have ordered :P

I'm in Canning Vale. It had 32km on the clock which is probably on the high side for delivery but I'm just happy I have the car in my garage

Also got the car booked for an Opti-coat job on sunday, will put pics up when it's done!

Another week or 2 till they go on!

Honestly I'm quite happy with the stock suspension for now, it's actually quite tight... it's only the height I don't like.

FT-86GOD · 06-25-2012, 07:55 AM

Canningvale... Sweet.... Will certainly have to organise an 86/toyota run once some more of us have our cars.....

jonbatz01 · 06-25-2012, 08:00 AM

32 is about normal for Newtown. They don't seem to get their cars delivered by truck, more so just driven. Bought a corolla from them in 2010 which had about the same delivery km (probs around 28-30 from memory) and it came straight from kewdale holding yard.

Also who is doing the opti-coat and how much (pm me if you like)? I want to get mine done when I get it.

catcha · 06-25-2012, 08:05 AM

very nice
