What are you upgrading from? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

RZ86 · 09-13-2012, 04:29 AM

I've come from a really clean stock '96 Supra SZ-R, loaded with all the factory options - recaros, 6spd, etc. I still miss it. I'll defiantly get another Supra sometime in the future, a really clean S2 RZ

. I'll have the 86 as a daily haha.

Current car is my "screaming" & lightly modified zzt231R Celica 6sp, almost as new condition, will most likely keep it cos it supposedly ain't worth much, but it's worth heaps to me cos I know how good it is.

Really looking forward to a proper RWD sportscar !

Fiesta XR4.

Undecided whether I'm selling or ripping the interior out, welding a cage in and sticking some gravel wheels on it.

Visitation rights is nice as long as you are not forced to pay child support.

Suzuki GTi

1990 Nissan 300zx non-turbo. Love it to death but feel I have had enough of the dramas that come with a 22yo car. 86 will be my first new car and what a car!

Subaru Liberty MY07 GTB. I have had it since new. Slightly modified and still a great drive after 130,000 kms. The BRZ is due in August 2013 so it will be about 150,000kms when I go to sell it.

There is an independent Subaru wrecker/mechanic/dealer near me that paid cash for my last Liberty. I'll see if he is interested closer to my delivery.

I'll also try the Liberty forums for interest. I won't bother with private sale. Not enough people where I live to make it worth while.

2011 vw polo gti. The night mare dub. I kinda miss it tho

Especially the dsg fart with resonator delete.. oh well happy with my 86

llama_au · 09-13-2012, 07:08 AM

From a 2005 Nissan CUBE3. Yes, nothing remotely similar. I've owned 5 Nissans prior to the BRZ I have on the way.

crimespree · 09-13-2012, 07:38 AM

so mainly not your stereotypical "drivers" buying these things then...

llama_au · 09-13-2012, 07:41 AM

I've owned 3 Skylines and a stupidly fast, stupidly modified Pulsar prior to my sensible CUBE3, so I'm going back to my roots

crimespree · 09-13-2012, 07:59 AM

wasn't directed at you, just the "gist" of the replies.... who knows what "drivers" really drive

Turdinator · 09-13-2012, 08:00 AM

Well I've had a pretty modified TA22 celica for the last 8 years, a 2010 wrx on loan for 6 months and a few R31s and a V8 Holden commodore. Plus various puss box work cars.

The celica is my baby. Nothing sounds like those webers at full roar. And no computers to dilute the driving experience.

Upgrading from 350z.....long story.
