Hey vita ! is this a stock car ? Why have you bought this car ? This car is a dream car for me. Is it a appropriate car for a novice driver? Thanks ! I'm 37 and drive since 18. I'm in France and i drive MT cars. I never had an RWD!

Thanks ! 100 whp more is a dream ! You have many options. Supercharger as rotrex see litchfield, sprintex innovate, vortech perrin performance, tom's, and HKS. I you want turbocharging. you have avo, crawford performance, fensport,...
A turbo will give you boost but not very controlable. Supercharger is more linear!
Hks and crawford say that the stock motor with his high compression ratio could be pushed to 340 ps. More ps could damage the engine at long terme.
You knows that TRD has made an 86 lighter called "the griffon". I think if i buy this car i will make the car lighter with carbon... because in my country we couldn't upgrade the motor.
When you daily drive what is your gas mileage? l/km. Thanks

Wait, what? Are you implying that just because I changed the emblems to Toyota that it's not a Toyota? Damn, I really thought I drove a Toyota.

Seriously though. You asked for our opinion on it and honestly I do not like it. Don't take any offense to it, I just grew up around show worthy cars.

The flat black is really boring, and makes the car look dirty. There seems to be a fair amount of stickers, but there aren't enough stickers imo; because so far, it looks like a mild attempt as being a race car. It has the wing, the standout wheels, and some stickers, but it looks like an incomplete package. perhaps the car could benefit from a 2-tone look or some graphics if that's the look you're going for.

Not sure what the hate is all about.

The car looks unique and a heck of a lot better than some other car wraps I have seen in crazy neon colors.

The thing is...

those Critique People are the same that use their car ONLY on sundays or holidays
and every time they are back to house... clean his tires
because they are worried that tires wear out so much on that 2 mile trip

i use.. i RACE my car
thats why is THAT WAY and i like it

I CAN ENJOY MY CAR... envy me and DEAL WITH IT



Sorry that my tires do not shine, are worn and have mud, REAL LIFE.

First of all, I just said I wasn't a fan. Second of all if this was a guy posting this you'd hate on it. For fucks sake, you guys are so desperate.

Well when the OP says things like:

"those Critique People are the same that use their car ONLY on sundays or holidays
and every time they are back to house... clean his tires
because they are worried that tires wear out so much on that 2 mile trip...envy me and DEAL WITH IT"

and

"u have a Scion..
Think u can change logos and then u can imagine is a Real Toyota 86"

she's kind of inviting criticism. A race car doesn't have to be tawdry; everyone's just treating her differently because she's a cute girl.
