^ Gawd that's hot. If the production model looks very close to that, I would buy it based on looks alone regardless of what watered down engine we may get. It shouldn't take long for people to mod them one would imagine.

Totally understand what you guys are saying, but for me I really don't care how fast or slow it is, it's got to look right, and this doesn't to me... I tried to like it from the beginning but the Suba

I spoke to the Toyota bloke when the G-Sport concept was at the Sydney Motor Show and he says that the turbo version will not be available to us. That was a year ago now and I hope things have changed.

On another note, I don't know about tuning this thing if it's got a Subaru boxer engine. I don't know much about it but I was told it's a pain to even put an intake on a boxer engine because it sits so low (and upside down?). Any engine work will result in a massive amount of cash for the labour involved (unless you game to DIY). Not to mention the newer cars all seems very integrated in terms of exhaust system, meaning a lot of custom work?

It's a beautiful car though. :toast:

Without trying to sound rude....... You are way off the track.

If it's a subbie engine it'll be VERY easy tune/modify.

It's a sports car. If it gets released then the Japanese tuning houses will be all over it in a few months. You'll have off the shelf parts available for it within 6-12mth. Exhausts, intakes, tuning software, etc.

My next car (in a few years) will be one of these or im currently drooling over a c63 amg coupe. Soooo tasty!!

Looks good for a car that apparently costs around $40k.

No offence taken. :whistling:

As I've said, that's just what I've been told. And apparently that's one of the reasons why people opt for the Evo instead, along with it's forged pistons from factory.

But considering you've had a WRX yourself, I'm not going to argue. :toast:

ECUTEK allows you to tune/flash the standard ecu. Apart from that, you can pick any number of ECU's that are "piggy backs" which tune them quite well.

it all depends on who develops the ECU for the car really... i'm not up to speed on who is developing what on this joint venture... have they released that info yet?

from what I've heard Ash, the engine and gearbox are coming from Subaru, everything else is going to be toyota...

that being said, if its just the 2.0L Boxer engine (EJ20) then I guess its a good thing that we have Ash as a regular member and Craig (from Oz Foz) who frequents the Brisbane meets lol... I'm glad I know Subaru ppl now, because no joke, I WILL be buying one of these - one way or another... they are the SEX!!!

ECUTEK can't flash the 2zzge computer in the corollas... i'm a sad puppy :(

Have a look at Wheels magazine. It has some photos of the preproduction prototype.

The base model without the body kit looks a bit average. The body kit makes it look closer to the concept. It sports a rear spoiler much like Supra and the rims are STi rims. N/A version will output 150kW while the turbo outputs 200kW.

Unless they do what Nissan did with the GTR and give the major tuning houses pre-release cars to work on ;)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I liked the original better. This one reminds me of another car I've seen before.

Not many people know this so keep it a secret... If you peel off the Toyota Badge on the new FT-86 you get the logo below:

Crazy car but I reckon once it hits AU, it will look tough, have the toughness of being RWD but fail to get over the line due to no powerful engine being supplied with it.

Rear needs a raised wing. Not sure I like the look of the rear as is. The front and side profile shots look nice

Quite disappointing in these images compared to the concept2. Fronts not angrier enough and the back reminds me of the last gen MR2. Really needs the diffuser and "high mount" spoiler!

i'm thoroughly disappointed in how diluted the production model is, which i guess is to be expected.

not only that, but to me the rear shot makes it look like a smart roadster, and the interior is WAY too evo x-esque (bordering on a copy and paste job)

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
