New in Ohio. Halo, MT.

Current garage. 06 Chevrolet Duramax 3/4 ton, 89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 06 Mazda MX-5 NC, 01 BMW Z3 Coupe.

How in the hell did I effectively end up with 3 two seat manual transmission cars?

I'm a motorcycle guy (too many to list) I like low mass, flickable vehicles.

The 86 is going to be my daily driver after a 13 and 15 Corolla S.

Hi All,

Just picked up a 2017 BRZ Limited in December. Took a trip down to Atlanta Motorsports Park this last weekend to learn how to drive it from Skip Barber (highly recommend). Driving back, I had a chance meeting with another BRZ driver (nice guy in North GA, dark gray turbo 2016, tight). Realized that I had lurked long enough on ft86club and should introduce myself.

Hi, my name's Will. I love my BRZ. No plans to mod beyond an oil pressure gauge, spare set of wheels and tires for the track, brake pads, and fluid changes. Looking forward to meeting other folks that like these cars as much as I do!

Cheers,
Will

Correct, plus the RS1 . RS2 , and Monogram series.

Some people want to make heavy mods (spend more money, like a tatoo) , some want to stay stock (or something in between.. light/ simple bolt on mods). To each his own.

New to the FT86Club. Just bought a 2013 FR-S from fellow member and drove it 750 miles back home to Kentucky. 11 hrs of non-stop driving is tiring! Love how precise the steering is. I am going to really enjoy driving this car.

Hello everyone!

Just recently bought my 2013 FRS, whom I've named Navani, and I'm in love 😍

I'm from Toronto, Ontario, so if there are any meets and clubs that people can point me in the right direction towards to meet other 86 family, that'd be sweet!

Looking forward to meeting others on the forum

Hi everyone, I recently bought a used FRS. It's almost like Subaru and Toyota brought back the Nissan 240sx as a modern vehicle, then made it better

Welcome to all the recent new folks. We're happy to have you. Enjoy owning one of the best driver's cars out there.

And it's even better than bringing back the 240. They brought back the spirit of the AE86 (small, light, RWD), 2000GT (that sexy shape), and Sports 800 (flat engine) all in one modern car.

Hi!

I've Been running a slightly modified 86 in the Swedish time attack series. Been hanging here a lot but never introduced myself. I'm happy to be part of the community and I've just started a project thread here if anyone is interested

Hello,
I've been lurking a few months trying to find the right used FRS and convince myself that trading in the Focus ST is a good move.

Finally found just the right 14 black FRS with 11k miles. I do miss the FoST torque and not having to downshift to accelerate, but after a few test drives of the FRS I started feeling like the Focus was a minivan. Hahaha, the Focus forum was great, looking forward to the Toyobaru community.
