86 - as per RC86 but cloth seats shaped like your cars, 16" wheels, air con, stereo
GT86 - as per 86 but fake leather seats, 17" wheels, bigger brakes, heated seats, climate air con, push button start, HID etc
TRD86 - as per GT86 but brembo TRD BBK, 18" TRD wheels, TRD full body kit, TRD start button, TRD oil filter etc
TR86 - full spec race car including roll cage, tune, changed oil sump, oil cooler, slicks, suspension changes etc

Yep, we have five models from stripped out to full race car with their own race series.
Thanks for that rundown, it really helps those of us in "one-model-USA" better understand the differences.

My perfect 86 combines a few elements from each car.

One day I will build the perfect 86. But it might carry a Subaru VIN...

Not sure on them as they look a little tacked on to me. The fender fins fill the slot designed for the original fender plaques but the canards just seem slapped on.

We'll see!

Yeah, hoping I've altered the drag coefficient with the amount of wax I've out on!

You have a beautiful garage and car port area. Keeps your cars protected and safe with plenty of room to maneuver cars around each other. Love it.

One thing we're not sure of here in New Zealand is space!

I really like the car but for that price I could buy my car (10-series = $29K) and have $26K to blow on mods.........just imagine the mods one could purchase with that kind of dough (Turbo, wheels/tires, big brakes, suspension, drivetrain, tune, full cage, carbon fiber rear seat delete.....I mean, I'm getting a little frivolous here......

Nevertheless, mad props because its a TRD and it's Uber limited edition!
