Hello fellow 86 / BRZ / FRS fans,

Received the latest issue of Wheels Australia yesterday in the mail and attached to it was a special issue all about the Toyota 86.

Haven't had a chance to have a read of it, but from the contents it covers
  • the origins of the design and development of the 86 (not that we don't know it back to front already)
  • a 3,500 drive from top to bottom of Japan in the 86;and
  • the Toyota 86 debut at the Nürburgring.
Hope you enjoy the read!

Enjoy

Nice! Anyone noticed the wording for front and rear suspension pictures are messed up?

If you have an iPad, you can download the "wheels showroom" app and it has the article for free.

Never got the chance to go to Hokkaido though, maybe one day =D

Miss so much!!

If you read page 12 in the pdf (page24 of the doc) they talked about doing a touge run in Agagi with DK. I wonder if they also run the line up to Mount Haruna for comparison.

Is it possible to have on o****m on this? It's a great fuckin' article!!!!!:thumbup:

Ouch. I actually felt a kick to my gut when I saw those FT-86 pictures again, the way it was supposed to look and how excited I was.

It's like the fantasy girl you felt like you were finally about to meet, but got suddenly ripped away from you and you can't let go. But, you have a girlfriend now who's still beautiful, so suck it up and face real life. What you have (FR-S) is still pretty darn good.

Sigh. :)

Yeah it's still a cool car...but they watered it down way too much and yes I understand it was to make it cheap, still a good looking car, but wished it was like the 86 GT JDM model. HID headlights and led strips, automatic climate control, last but not least....push button start. Other than that it's still a cool car. :clap:

For the cleanest images here are the full-res pages from the Wheels Showroom iPad app. The actual app is even better. It has videos and more pictures. Enjoy these screenshots:
