It would be really stupid to take a brand new car and hack it up. Sounds like you don’t really like the twins (either gen) that much anyway. Get something else that you won’t have to extensively...

The worst thing about horses is that they need repairs, fuel, and tires, so to speak, even if you aren’t “driving” them. My parents haven’t ridden theirs in 5+ years. The horses just stand out in the...

My Corolla HB is blue flame and I love the color. It pops even when dirty. If I got another 86, it would be Neptune.

All but guaranteed that we’ll get that color on a special edition. I’m glad that a proper orange is likely displacing Hot Lava in the palette. Never cared for that bronze tone.

Yup. These engines are pretty simple and it really isn’t rocket science putting them together. The industry generally uses similar techniques for engine assembly.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Presents World Debut of the New JDM GR 86 (Second Gen 86)!

Looks like the transmission gear ratios and final drive match the ‘13-16 BRZ/FR-S. Thanks for that info, GT sport. That means we still have a 2-3 shift to get to 60, but it also means that the...
