Couldn't contain my excitement any longer! This is too cool!

I started following when I first heard rumors of the Toyobaru on the MO forums (Matrix Owners) and had been very interested with what I heard... but info seemed to stop flowing and I kinda lost interest. But recently I found some pics -- and subsequently this website.

Feels like a god-send lol - awesome site you're all running here!

I was very interested in reading more of the heritage, even though I knew of the legendary car info about it wasn't something I remembered to search for, so finding it here with everyones input about it was really exciting!

Reading all the info (yes, I've trolled almost every post on this forum already) I'm very excited to see the production specs within the next year or so! I'm in love with the comparison photos and the prototype photos here, I'll be around even if Im not posting!

L8r All!

hey all! just joined a day or two ago since i'm very excited about this car coming out, more so than the LFA (for obvious reasons, haha!).

a little about me and my current vehicles: i'm 27, ASE Master Certified, and a huge Toyota fan. i do a lot of indoor karting, as much autox as i can, and whenever the weather's nice and the planets align, trackdays! i also take my truck off-road very occasionally, but i figure that interests you guys less.

current vehicles are my 2006 Tacoma 4x4 TRD Off Road, to serve as DD and winter vehicle, and a 1991 MR2 that i purchased as a bone-stock n/a, then proceeded to rebuild (doing all machining myself) a 3SGTE, filling it full of fun bits, and swapping it into the car. unfortunately, the person who did my tuning on my AEM was slightly incompetent when it came to high-compression turbo cars, so i'm going to be looking at rebuilding it again (or swapping in a built longblock) when funds are available.


boost on the left, EGT's on the right.


bling shot.


and here's a quick shot of my truck.


-Mike

Hi, I'm Lincoln. I don't have a car, haven't had one for several years now. Instead, I ride a '79 Yamaha XS Eleven. In fact, it's the one on Wikipedia. No one put a picture of one up there, so I took a picture and uploaded it. So now I have the Wikipedia XS11. I ride year-round up here in the Pacific Northwest, and I have to admit that as the years go on, I'm starting to think a car may not be such a bad thing after all. The FT-86 could very well be the car that gets me to double my wheel count. But I'll always have a motorcycle. No car, no matter how good, can top the feeling of riding a motorcycle.
