I only have a first gen car, and never driven a track prepped 86 at all, but I'd say they've just about nailed the feel of this car! I've been a spec racer driver for a while, as it just seems like...

Will there ever be a cheap tuning solution for the GR86 after Cobb's announcement?

I know they didn't produce a tuning solution for the first gen, but...

That setup sounds great! Did your tuner have any thoughts on how much more might be achievable with a tune? And did he comment on how rich/lean it was running with the stock tune?

GR86. No manual in the supra, and it's too heavy for me. I'd pay the extra for the supra if it was manual and lighter and felt like I was the one doing the driving.

Well, I've had my brz on the track a total of twice in 7 years. I didn't mind the engine on either occasion.
On the street though, it would be far more fun with a chunky midrange. If the new model...

You can get rid of the play in about 3 minutes by adjusting the clutch switch, so that isn't a good reason to buy a replacement spring IMO. I'm not convinced the weight of the pedal will wear your...
