Couple questions before I buy - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Thanks for all the info guys.
Will watch the vids at home.
Had my heart set on my mates STD in White but saw a High model on AutoTrader that ticks all the right boxes. It would also prevent me adding a new radio and the like which seems like a win win. Not sure insurance is going to take kindly to a switch to a High End model.

An auto in this car would be sacrilege. Never would I do such.
Manual FTW

Have any of you guys added mods to your interior and what radio's are you using?

sav · 01-19-2015, 08:45 AM

I run 2.4 bar front and rear.

As for the radio - Parrot Asteriod Smart (FTW)

I put 2.4bar at the petrol station and then use thr tyre gauge to let out air to 2.3bar later on when it's cooled. Amazing how the pressure is different at each tyre.

Toyota specific and a nice fit

Finance sorted. Insurance at R1100 sorted.
Question now is do I go for the White one I saw or Silver.

Collection will probably be next week sometime. Thanks to everyone who has commented. Can't thank you on the forum(not enough posts? ) but your advice is appreciated.

Can't remember off hand but it wasn't cheap. I got the Garmin software and a rear view camera as well.
