^ 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!!!

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)

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
