Who else bought an 86? - Toyota Yaris Forums

SKurj · 03-16-2013, 08:50 AM

Noticed a couple of threads in classified of people parting their Yaris due to a pending FRS/GT86/BRZ arrival... I'm one of them, I pick up my my BRZ Sport Tech on Thursday. Keeping my Yaris though for a winter car.

Looking to get into an FR-S at the end of the year, but I wish they offered a real white instead of puke white.

dealership had three we looked at while getting repairs done to the yaris. unfortunately, all had options(ie. leather seats) and were just shy of $30k. sexy as hell though!

Saw a couple of 'em in Japan back in August, they are nice looking cars...

Cheers! M2

Nice car, but the Scion mentality, you need to spend 30% of the car's value to mod it properly!!

vten · 03-17-2013, 08:30 PM

I think the op is talking about me :)

Yup , hit a deer on my Yaris. Been owning the car for a little while and now is a good time to change . I test drive the frs and sold .... Will get the car by the end of the month with the 5axis kits on .

Reason for me to get the frs is because is cheaper than its twin, and I'll be mod the heck out of it , I even already have a wheel set waiting in the basement before the car :)

Not my car , but it'll be the same color and bodykits and 19" work equips

vten · 03-17-2013, 08:36 PM

Can't wait :)

Ryze268 · 03-17-2013, 09:47 PM

Shame we can't get those trim levels/kits or the toyota version here..

vten · 03-18-2013, 10:33 PM

Well we can get those trd kits ,headlights and fogs thru an frs vendor , but they're about $2kfor the kit , $2K for the headlights and $700 for the fogs.

I'll be taking delivery of the car in raven, end of this month .

SKurj · 03-21-2013, 02:47 PM

Picked it up today..

Had dealer install Eibach pro-kit and my Wheels prior to delivery. Still need to install the plate relocate on the front.
Not much for mods planned, hopefully a Borla exhaust if I can save the pennies.

That looks like it has a front lip different from the FRS. Is that a subaru only fascia?

detroiter · 03-21-2013, 06:10 PM

From all of the big car magazines and professional testers/drivers...the car is considered one of the best handling cars that you can currently buy...from ANY manufacturer.

This car is what sex on wheels looks like

vten · 03-21-2013, 06:27 PM

Yup those are solely brz facia ...

Congrat on the new whip Skurj ! Mine will be here in a week or two :( ... Frs tho

i found the exact opposite.

Have you ever driven a 5.0L mustang (2009) or even a SRT8 Challanger or even a Ford Ranger RWD?

he means he doesn't know how to drive.

Seriously though, oversteer. The car was designed not to be another flaky under steering piece of garbage. So some people who aren't use to cars with actual good suspensions won't like it. It is also why it took about a day for the first one to be crashed by some former honda owning loser.
