FT86CLUB Homepage Featured Story Hi! Last fall a co-worker and I entered a competition at Toyotas Facebook page. The task where to build a car out of this: http://i48.tinypic.com/250oy0o.jpg After a whole weekend at the office with state of the art equipment as you can see. The end result became this: http://i49.tinypic.com/mj97gx.jpg A couple of weeks later we got a mail from Toyota, congratulated us for winning a trackday with the GT86. WINNING :thumbup: They told us to go here. Trosta racing Park. Just outside Arlanda airport, Stockholm: http://www.trostapark.se/images/flygfoto2.jpg 8pm we where on site and the first view to welcome us whas this: http://i50.tinypic.com/34fci14.jpg After a short debrief, a history lesson about Toyotas racing heritage and some breakfast. They told us that we got 8 hours to drive these cars like we stole them. Im kidding you not! They actually allowed us to drive with all assists of and kill the tires. I think it was the PR-manager of Toyota Scandinavia that told us that "Autocross them, drift them. They are built for this" :thanks: As you may understand I spent the whole day driving, so I only took like 3 pics or so. But here they are: http://i45.tinypic.com/211oy8i.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/r0dzwz.jpg The lucky ones http://i45.tinypic.com/359zrlj.jpg This where my first track event ever. And after 4 hours of pure driving I where absolutely gased. This where without a doubt one of the funnies things I ever done. So a big thanks to Toyota Sweden. I will for sure order a car this year. As soon I get rid of my Mustang. Here you have the GT86 clothing line we got in the beginning of the day. http://i50.tinypic.com/nlr5uf.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/acbkp5.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/wat1nd.jpg This is my first tread so I hope you guys like it. Please forgive my bad spelling and grammer. OMG its hard to write in English :mad0260: As a gift to you for your patience I give a short video from the day [ame]http://youtu.be/5TH8rzr_UFo[/ame] |

This is exactly the same. Got to love the instructions in Japanes! I recomend you to use a scalpel and fine glue. Big paper scissors and a clumpsy gluestick aint ideal tools ;) |
Thank you! I've been wanting to do just this!
This should get stickied. |
