The worst thing about horses is that they need repairs, fuel, and tires, so to speak, even if you aren’t “driving” them. My parents haven’t ridden theirs in 5+ years. The horses just stand out in the...

Yup. These engines are pretty simple and it really isn’t rocket science putting them together. The industry generally uses similar techniques for engine assembly.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Presents World Debut of the New JDM GR 86 (Second Gen 86)!

Looks like the transmission gear ratios and final drive match the ‘13-16 BRZ/FR-S. Thanks for that info, GT sport. That means we still have a 2-3 shift to get to 60, but it also means that the...

Photos & Videos: 2022 Toyota GR 86 spotted in the wild

A lot of spoilers are held on with 3M type tape these days… especially a lip spoiler like that where there is a lot of surface to stick adhesive on. It’s a lot cheaper to do it that way than to make...

So all those rumors, that never really made sense in the first place, about Toyota pulling the andon at the 11th hr to further differentiate from the BRZ turned out to not be true. Shocking. /s
