Hello from Australia!
 
Hi guys! Been drooling on here for a few weeks now, gathering info on wheel fitment, etc. Thanks! haha

I know in the US you guys call this the "Scion FR-S"... don't know what all that is about.... haha

But 2 days after the release of the TOYOTA 86 here in Australia, I picked up my new baby :).

Few pics: (already done a few mods)

Looking good man. Keep it up! :thumbsup: Looks like a king cobra in the front.

What bulbs you put in to get that colour?

Looks good mate!! What size wheels you got?

I am picking mine up on Tue! :D

The bulbs? They're just parker LEDs. They're just a bright white. Look great!!

I ended up not going for those wheels. They're Volk CE28N 18 x 7.5 +47 offset. They looked okay, but not the look i'm going for..

Congrats! Throw up some pics when you get yours :).

Btw, you don't need to worry about changing/upgrading your bulbs. You've already got HIDs! (Jealous!!! haha). The GT is a great car though. Couldn't be happier.

She's looking good already. If you're not getting those Volks, what are you getting instead?

luxmn 06-24-2012 04:02 PM

I'm eyeing those volks are you selling ? :lol:

Good looking car man! I'm jealous with that exhaust tips

cRazy604 06-24-2012 05:13 PM

Those fog lights make it so much better, i cant wait for them to release them in canada

russv 06-24-2012 07:19 PM

Those exhausts seem larger than the FRS. And those fog lights are to die for. Also the steering wheel is on the wrong side!:lol:

Interesting head unit you guys get, mind getting a close up of it?

RZ86 06-24-2012 09:29 PM

Thanks for all the response guys!

I'm going for black or gunmetal grey Work CR Kiwamis 18 x 8 +38 instead. They've got the look i'm going for..

As for the head unit, it's just a standard toyota head unit. They're found in most new corollas, yaris, etc. It's pretty good honestly. I can't really be bothered to replace it. It's got bluetooth, iphone connectivity, voice control, etc. Works well lol.

You guys got the version with the LED strip headlights right? how do those work? are they DRL or do they come on at night with the low beam? If you could show a picture of them please!

Thanks

No mine is the GT model, not the GT-S. I have the same headlights as the Scion FR-S. All I have done is upgrade the parkers to wedge type LEDs.

Shenks 06-24-2012 11:09 PM

ahhh, didn't think they would do that! =/ regardless still awesome! loving the bumper lip with the black XD
