@ ToyoGT86 I use Meguiars polishes and waxes but the GT86 in the picture is brand new with paint protection which helps keep it looking shiny.

Hi all! I've been reading this forum for a while and now decided to register!

I have a Celica 7th gen with tuned engine which makes it really funny to drive!

Now I still have the Celica and the GT86 Limited Edition 69/86 :happy0180:

happy drift!

What's with Toyota sacrificing interior space in these recent years? I rented a 2012 Corolla last weekend and the interior room for passengers was pretty horrid. We got through because no one was near six feet tall. The trip would've been much worse if we had to go on that road trip with our legs really cramped...

Then again, we rented a 2013 Camry last month and the trunk space was huge with plenty of room in the cabin. Guess they're trying to make a point with the higher priced vehicles...

FTEightySix here, just dropping by to say hi!

We are new to the FT86club forums but not new to the automotive scene. We've been around for 10+ years, so we have a good sense of things.

We are currently diving in to the FR-S/BRZ world, and currently we are expanding our inventory with lots of products for the twins.

Please feel free to contact us should you need anything. You can also browse our website www.FTEightySix.com and check out our current products for these beautiful cars.

Cheers!

Names Ken, purchased my FR-S back in early June with 7 miles on the clock, and left for an indisclosed location with the Air Force a couple weeks later. Already have 17X9 +45 gold RPF1's on it, going to lower exhaust and intake when I get back sometime in october. I've put a little over 1300 miles on her, and I love it! Not sure I upgraded but my other car (which is for sale) is a saabaru with a jdm ej207 swap, gt30r turbo etc etc...

Here's my loves:





Gonna miss the Saab, but the fr-s will replace it well as my toy!!

Hi Everyone.

Another Texas FR-S owner here. I picked up an Asphalt FR-S on July 4th and I couldn't be happier. I can't say that I'll mod it much, but I'll still enjoy it nonetheless! I hope to meet up with some other North Texas 86 owners.

Hi Ft86ers! I'm currently driving a 2006 scion tc and plan on purchasing an FRS this year as soon as the 2014 model releases.
