A few observations from my first 30 or so miles.
1. The clutch with the damn helper spring is WAAAAY to light. Nothing like I'm used to. That spring is coming out as soon as I have a free moment. Some of you older folks will know what I mean when I say it is the equivalent of the '70 Chrysler power steering.
2. I don't think it's underpowered like a lot of people bitch about. I'm staying below 4 grand during break in and it's not bad. I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like in the higher rev band. I'm coming from a Celica All Trac that was running probably 275 HP or so. I'm pleased with what I'm seeing so far.
3. Six gear is a little notchy right now. I'm hoping that smooth's out as it breaks in. The transmission shifts great thought and the gear spacing is really close. The ratios seem to be good so far too.
4. Handling is great. I am not disappointed.

Really happy with the color too. I had only seen one or two on the road and pictures don't really do it justice.

Looking forward to more miles.


Nice, I see you have the factory accessorie lights. I was going add those to my 86, until I found out I would have to run the wiring harness for them as well.
What color is your 86?

Actually it's Hot Lava. It's the lighting. That's what I love about this color.

As for the fog lights, I love them. The LED lights are amazing. When I first turned them on last night, I was amazed at how much light they put out. The are better than the factory fogs that were on my IS350.

That's my plan. It felt better today the more I drove it but I would like a bit more weight to it. The clutch in my All Trac wasn't truck heavy but it was a good bit heavier than this one. Just what I'm used to I guess.

Congrats on your car, and on picking the best color. Enjoy it. It'll be even more fun once you can wind up past 4k. You'll probably never want to go back down again, lol.

Hard to tell, but no spoiler in the back, correct? Is this your only/daily car? If so, be sure to pick up some snow tires, then you'll really get to have some fun.

Hell, if you go back far enough ....... you will find that just about everybody in West Virginia are cousins, one way or another ......
