Frank in NSW is doing for under $500 - the guys in the other states are overcharging IMO.

I happen to find this description the easiest one when someone asks what it is: "Yeah mate, it's Toyota's current rear-wheel drive Celica. They've just happened to name it 86".

So far I've only driven 2km with it on to fill up and did not notice anything peculiar about the satnav signal. It should be fine (theres a whole thread dedicated to it in the global GBs subforum if you're interested for other opinions)
