Hello,

I`m a German and discovered the Toyota GT 86 just a few days before here in some websites.When I saw the drift movies on youtube, my heart was broken immediately and I´m planning seriously tu buy one. Maybe tomorrow I´m going to make a first test ride Currently I own an Renault Alpine but it needs more work than I´ve time for. So let see what happens during the autumn......

Cheers

Udo

Hey guys. Just signed up. Got a deposit down at two different dealerships for an frs and talking to 2 Subaru dealerships about the brz. Frs is is looking more likely. Hoping to get it within the next two weeks. Fingers crossed. Tough decision between those and the wrx.

I just signed up to say this...

86fest was pretty cool. I was at the track event at the main track and was not expecting what I saw. Being in SoCal, I see about 1-2 of these a day AND THEY ALL MUST HAVE BEEN THERE AT 86 FEST ! What a great turn out, can't wait to check out the next one.

Hey everyone, just got an account here but I've been following along quite meticulously for a few months now (addicted, actually, for the last few weeks). Great info, great community...glad to be a part of it! I'm still debating whether i should get an fr-s now or wait for the '14 but that might be a while...I'm coming from a 4cyl '01 accord so this should be quite an upgrade

Hello,

Guess I'm the new guy. I've been around various forums and such for a number of years, but new to this one. I've been interested in the BRZ/FRS development for a long time now, although I have to say I was (at first) one of the skeptics that never thought it would actually make it to production.

Loved the styling of the car when it came out, and had my first chance to see one up close last weekend. I have an appointment this weekend to (hopefully) become an owner.

I currently have a 2004 GTO...nothing special - just an exhaust and tune. I've had a bunch of other stuff before that...couple of Evos, turbo Hondas, SVT Focus, another GTO, and a Scion xA (college car) to name a few.

Here's my current car:







Anyway, going to lurk around a bit, but wanted to come in and say hello!

Hey there! I had a 2005 GTO! It was super fun to drive, it just lacked the "turn around and lovingly gaze at it as you walk away" effect.

lol if you'd said Asphalt I would have congratulated you on your excellent taste j/k actually there's not a colour in the bunch that I don't like. There's a guy on here contemplating selling his red one; look for a thread called "selling my firestorm" if interested.

Hello everyone,
I've been lurking in the forums for quite awhile now, so I thought I'd sign-up. I've been checking out everyones pics and mods to their cars while I'm still waiting on mine (ordered late June). It's been good getting ideas of what I can do with mine, only down side it it reminds me I still have a while to wait on mine. Currently getting round in my almost 20yo Silver N/A Supra and I'll hopefully be getting my Mt Fuji red GTS w/ Aero kit sometime in Dec/Jan still no solid date yet :-( So till then I guess I'll just have to get by lurking in here checking out all the members posting pics of their cars :-)

Hi :)

My name is Ash,
Im 18 and currently driving my mums mazda 2 like a maniac, i love to drive fun small cars but sadly, my mum wants it back so i put a downpayment on the 86 gts, just waiting for the car to arrive, no joke, cant wait!! Even though itll be around december/jan, itll be perfect for me to save up more money to pay it off. keen as a bean!
