Buy a tC?

Cusco + Winmax + Enkei + Advan Neova + Fujitsubo + 86 + Pro-driver =

Seriously, that 86 was ridiculously FAST! Cusco's 86 is NA, but it was competing against few FI 86s. Even with their FI, closest one was at least 1 second faster... but of course, 3 pro-drivers drove it & gave a feedback to get right setup, so can't really say "fair" term... but without a doubt, Cusco 86 w pro-driver = Ridiculously FAST

Jus found out CE of 86; Tada-san was in Cali... I missed him by one day. Fml

Yep, it sure is. I bought it back in August (I think) and it's just been chilling in my friend's dad's garage in Mississippi after being shipped from Utah.

Welcome home, Anthony.

Haha yep, that is exactly how it happened. Guns are now like phones - there are smart guns. This picture was actually taken with a gun.

Haha I guess a no is better than no response, I was beginning to feel neglected. Either way, I test drove a tC before I got my FR-S because I used to like them, but it's smaller than the FR-S on the inside despite being bigger and I was uncomfortable in it. Besides, I want the Z because I want a classic.

Couldn't think of any other affordable glass-roof car off the top of my head. As @Allch Chcar pointed out, there is also the Veloster. He also linked to a reason not to buy it.

I'm not looking for an affordable glass-roof car. The Z whenever I can actually afford it will have no expenses spared to make it how I want it. The glass-roof is just an idea I had because it's an option I like.

Ah, I see.

It could look awesome, but it could also be automotive blasphemy. It will be a fine line, and an expensive one, to walk.

I really want to get our roof with all the lines in tnted glass. As said very fine line between awesome and fugly but I think could be done

Allch Chcar · 11-26-2013, 10:28 AM

The glass roof in the tC and the Veloster also has that wonderful tendency to randomly shatter. I don't know how common it is but I've seen pictures. It's not pretty.

As for the link, don't mind me, my mind's still stuck on the Veloster's cheap ass suspension. I spent a couple hours researching it the other day. I like the Veloster's body style, even though the aero is crap, but can't justify even looking at a car with that horrible of a stock suspension. Then they drop this. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/20/2...turbo-la-2013/
Not only is it going to be cheaper but they actually bothered to tune the suspension.
