![]() Timelines are still horrible - my sisters car was destroyed but a replacement is still "any day now, really..." - here's me wondering if they're not just trying to sell it at even more profit before finally giving it to the person who ordered it...

Timelines are not going to get any better for at least another year or at least that is what our big brass is telling us. Pretty sure the hitch issue has nothing to do will supply chain and more when they started to prep the car they had an OH SHIT TRAILER HITCH moment.

Lol, from my perspective it's a race. Can a Toyota dealership get a MT GR86 in stock to test drive before someone figures out 2.4 swap kit for the FRS?

Yes. Just order the new car. The swap is not going to be cheap or very DIY.

Plus, I'm still on the fence about it. I am 100% sure a swap isn't going to be less expensive or straightforward than just buying a car, but I'm sure I could figure it out given enough garage time, and it would certainly be interesting to do. |

Any reasonable priced swap is years out and will hardly be worth the time and money by then anyway.

We don't know what work he does. Could be a top British syndicate boss.

All this car buying talk. My next car will be electric, I hope. Nothing good out yet... Has me wondering if I'll bother with another car. May have to convert this one.
