L's Raven GT86 2012 - Norway
 

Hi folks =)

Yesterday I signed the papers for the purchase of my first Toyota GT86 :happyanim:

It's currently 1 900KM (1 200miles) away from me though, and with the driving conditions here in Norway this time of year, I'm seriously considering putting it on a train for transport back home.

The car is a 2012 model, with 41 000KM (25 500miles) already driven, and factory warranty coverage until August of this year.

The only pictures I have to share with you are the ones for the AD itself:

Man those Euro spec headlights/10 series headlights/monogram headlights look so much better than the regular US spec ones we get!

Brave for getting black! Looks great!

Thanks :) Had to wait a while for a black one with manual to become available.

Congrats! Enjoy your 86. Funny you had to wait for a manual black, in the Netherlands 90% of the cars available are black :)

Any plans for the future?

Thanks! :)

If the story I have heard is true, it had something to do with the dealerships or the importer ordereing a lot of standard orange colored automatics during the first years.

Plans this far:
- 18x9 +40 wheels with 225/40/18 (2x - summer & winter)
- Coilovers
- A clean lip kit
- Duck tail or whale tail

@Clipdat:

Think I've read somewhere that Scion sold the FR-S as a budget car. If that's the case, it would explain the headlights. And maybe other things, I'm new to these cars ;-)

Here in Norway a new 86 costs aprox $58 000...

Car looks perfect! Love when I see clean stock ones :D (Though it almost seems as if its lowered already haha)

Enjoy the car and have a fun and safe build!

Good eye, it does look slightly lower that stock. TRD springs maybe?

AD said Sachs suspension actually... ;)

Agreed. I was really disappointed in Scion's version of the headlights.

Canadian taxes are bad, but then there is Norway :eyebulge:

Updated the first post with an image of what cars I'm switching out for the 86 :)

Went to pick up my dirty girl yesterday :D Unloaded from the train just hours before.

She was delivered on studded winter tires :bonk: But man! What a dream to drive!

Bought unseen, untested. Never driven one of these before. The best purchase of my life!

I also payed the invoice for my new rim's (retailer required payment before ordering with the manufacturer), and the new tires are already on their way and payed for as well :D

Now I only have to wait for the carrier's $650 invoice for bringing the car to me...

I thought the ride was pretty stiff when I drove it back home yesterday, so I called the DMV now just to check.

The car is approved with KW Automotive suspension :eyebulge:

Why the dealer wrote Sachs in the AD is beyond me, but I'm happy :D

Now I'll just have to lift it up to know which version I have ^^,

Nice unexpected bonus. You paid enough for this twin, you deserved a nice surprise!
