I wish the 86 has some of the tech the genesis does.

The driving difference is remarkably different. The handling on the fr-s is way better and feels more in control unlike the Hyundai where it feels like it under steers a lot. But the interior and all the extra stuff the Hyundai comes with makes t worth it. Plus it's the track edition so it has the brembo brakes and racing suspension, wide rear rims, and exhaust. It's like driving a camery but faster lol unlike driving a lotus lol

haha, when we decide to do a meet up for an install/clean up. I would love to see your genesis. I haven't driven one since I was on the market for a car and I want to see how the manual feels.

Edit- On the upside. My Window Visors came in today.

You guys are good people to hang around and wouldn't mind being a "groupie" lol

Damn Matt, that sucks. Did Toyota buy the car back or did you trade it in?

I wouldn't mind still hanging around if you guys mind. I get my set of s-techs springs tomorrow and my pair of 8000k hid's from my car tomorrow if anyone was interested in buy them and doing an install meet. No clue on prices yet since it all happened the last couple days.

Hey I don't have one (canceled) and I'm still around. Join the no-86 club! More fun: I believe we share a zip code (97070)...

Haha, the hatey-six crew.

It has a nice ring to it.

So my girlfriend wanted to have a bonding moment with me and install something to the 86. So with the help of her and her room mates. We installed the spoiler, antenna and window visors. Over all took bout an hour and I'm very happy with the results. My toyota emblems got shipped to my parents place so I still gotta install those and my tow hooks. Look forward to seeing some more of you guys in December

Love em. On the asphalt. It looks like its apart of the body. And in my opinion. It makes it look a little more aggressive. But I don't like what I spent on them.
