Congratulations! Very excited for you!
Unsolicited advice: If you spend some time on this forum you're going to see a ridiculous amount of complaining about the weakness of the engine. Don't let it get to you. Enjoy your wonderful, purposefully engineered, beautifully executed balance of power, fuel economy, and IMHO, just about everything else. It's a truly special machine. Welcome to the community! |

oh and adjust your clutch pedal! trust.. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8040
I've driven 10 or so manuals in my life, a lot of people on these forums who have driven a lot more and even those whose first manual was this car agree that this little 10 minute fix changes the manual driving experience for the better. If you allow the clutch pedal to be adjusted as per the instructions on the guy's DIY you'll be fine |

Ditto on the GTi (but never had a STi) - the 86 is far more fun than any FWD car has an ability to be.
