  1. there is also 86 Apex and one unique To Australia but im not sue if i can say what it is or not yet lol

    True, but that is a grade level. In Australia we will have # different grades, including the "86 **" and "86 ***". Later down the track there will be an option pack for the second grade.

    I'll be getting the "86 ***" ... without the future option pack, as it doesn't appeal to me.

    Interestingly, the plates for both grades are unavailable in VIC ... but there could be an old Corolla out there wearing them?

  2. Getting a little worked up at the number of people still using 'FT' in front of the model name ... sorry for the need to rant :(

    Accepted titles for all markets include:

    * 86

    * GT 86

    * FR-S

    * BRZ

  3. it is standard for oil filters to let unfiltered oil through. They have a piece of spring steal at the end of the filter media holding it in place, so when the oil pressure gets too high the filter media can move down and let the oil bypass it.

    This was not the case with what I have seen - allowing unfiltered oil 100% of the time.

  4. its a toyota, so the auto will be really sh!t...

    if they really wanted to do something good, they should have used the ZF box... the new ones are soooo tasty! :D

    Have you driven an IS-F?

    If not, you won't know how this transmission is tuned ... and how fun it will be.

  5. Hey mate,

    hope your well! Did you end up sorting out all the issues you ahd with the XR6T. Ford could never work out (and never really gave a flying ....) about sorting out the issues i had with mine.

    Congrats on your 1000th post! lol

  6. Doesn't paddle shift come with the auto?

    Yes.

    Both will be fun to drive, as for once the auto is under your control (unless the engine is going to stall or a downshift will put you over the redline). There will be an auto premium.

    I'm going manual ...

  7. Go aftermarket; Genuine and you would need a body ECU (say $900), certification ECU (around $400), steering column lock (probably $200), start switch (over $300), wire harness (getting expensive now), engine room fuse box (expense continues), keyfobs ($600 pair) and much more!

    Prices are only estimates, I haven't looked at prices for these parts in over 2 years.

    I have my facelift ZR6 up for sale if you want to go genuine ...
