Mate @ work took this photo of a Subaru BRZ as he was cruising through Bankstown last Saturday(30/06/2012). He said there was an old guy driving it with a Subaru jacket.

saw a red GT along king georges rd near hurstville heading towards beverly hills.
literally popped out of my seat!!

HER86 07-14-2012 02:32 AM

Spotted my first 86 on the road today, shame it was also the first 86 i've seen in an accident! It was rear ended at the Meccano Set at about 1.30 today.. Didn't look like a huge amount of damage but a hell of a lot of scatches to somebody's new baby i'm sure! Belong to anyone here???

Satu23 07-14-2012 04:35 AM

Ouch, that's gotta suck :(

hopefully it's not too much damage now, would be awhile before there would be parts available for repairs i am thinking...

Red GTS at the jdmst meet today in Moore Park :)

I saw this thing on Friday when I was drying through the city in the morning, at the end of Footscray road... it also shares the numberplate as the red 86 in this months latest MOTOR magazine...

JiB 07-15-2012 05:30 AM

Saw a Black GTS out the front of the 4 Seasons hotel on George street, Sydney tonight :)

I would be fuming! :mad0260:. Didn't look like there was too much damage, but then again I didn't get a really good look at it, but even a few scratches would be distressing.. the car couldn't be more than a few weeks old!

Ravine 07-29-2012 12:12 AM

Ran into a White GTS on Friday night going towards Homebush on King Georges Road. Green P plater with 86GTS plates or something along the lines of that.

Drove up next to him and gave him a fist pump and we parted ways.

Made my day hahaha!

Nardi330 07-29-2012 12:15 AM

spotted a red GTS on Compton Road, Sunnybank Hills at 8:50 this morning.

Skorov 07-29-2012 03:19 AM

A white GTS pulled up to me at the lights Thursday night on the corner of Epping and Delhi roads. Had a quick chat to the guy through the window. Needless to say, I was very jealous.

Saw an orange "GT" 86 along albany hwy today. Heading towards carousel shopping centre. It had NSW plates strangely enough.

manonastick 07-30-2012 07:28 AM

Spotted one at eastwood NSW today in white
didn't pay attention if it was gt or gts

Ravine 07-30-2012 08:17 AM

Spotted a Silver GTS going down Windsor road this afternoon. Turned off Windsor and blocked me behind him. Awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

MacTec 07-31-2012 05:10 AM

Finally saw my 1st one in the wild (apart from my test drive) about 30 mins ago.

I was at lights on Zilmere road that turned green but I checked the mirror as i was taking off and saw these angry looking angled led running lights coming out of the dark towards me. Couldn't help myself, pulled over to let it past to check it out. Was an orange GTS with custom plates. Looked hot of course. Had to turn a corner straight after though so didn't get to stalk it for a while.

After I pulled over and back in behind it, the driver touched the brakes slightly, hope they didn't think I was unmarked police instead of a jealous dude hanging out for his own to arrive. ;-)

Maj3sty 07-31-2012 05:48 AM

Saw a silver GT/GTS drive down Burwood Road towards Campsie today in Sydney.

Calais 07-31-2012 05:52 AM

im happy i dont see many in the wild as my heart breaks everytime, i still havent put a deposit down and dont know if there is any point to an order anymore since the wait has blown out to 18 months i might as well wait for the hype to die down and the wait to decrease somewhat before i order

HER86 07-31-2012 08:28 AM

There's a silver GT in my work car park at Rhodes.. Gone from only ever having seen one on the road to having two ( mine and the other) in the same spot!! Going to have to stalk the owner and say hi :)

JiB 07-31-2012 08:56 AM

Spotted my car :D

Testing my phones camera, its rubbish at night :(

Interesting note:
I may have been pushing the car a little tonight, and found that with the TC left on and sports mode off (normal) i took a corner much faster than recommended speed and notice the front tires slipping rather than the rear. it was only for an instant, but was wondering if that would be because of the GT wheels not being wider?

Fletchlives78 08-01-2012 07:15 AM

Saw a red one in edgewater. First one I've seen beside the one I test drove.

Thats what Wheels article noted as well. They thought its due to GT wheels and tyres.

Yeah CHI- something...

I saw him near the 86 meet at auburn. I was tempted for a race with my aurion. Kid and wife in the car so no go. !!!

I spotted the LED's about 100 metres behind me and I knew it was the 86 gts

Haha! I had that same feeling for the first few days! - just gauging people's reactions. I'm kinda over it now though :P you'll be the same - give it a few hundred ks. Remember, watch the road not the cars man! :thumbup:
