Seen Fireflys GT86 today!

Very very nice! Drove past it half a dozen times on my work travels today and couldn't help but stare each time.
Apart from maybe spacing out the wheels to the guards I would change a thing.

I saw a black 86 in Nagio on my way home. I have seen 5 unique 86s so far including a TRD86.

saw a silver/gunmetal grey one going into golflands east auckland last night ... not bad from what i saw at the lights might have to have a look at one in person

Spotted the white one at Counties, they have put stickers all over it. May have to test drive and see if the stickers have done much for performance.

Probably the same one I saw the other day. I didn't think it really stood out in grey.

My parents got theirs on Wednesday around lunchtime - Dad had done ~500 km by the time he brought it around at 9 that night. They've only owned functional new vehicles in the past, (Corolla wagons etc.) it's pretty cool that they're enjoying it so much.

i think white with black rims would be the combo to go for

That's cool, good to see he went out for a decent drive!

Pictures so we can live the experience vicariously?

Did they go manual or auto, 86 or GT86? And, did they stick with the dark grey?

They got a manual 86 and stuck with the dark grey, spoke to Mum last night and they're up to over 1000 km already, not bad considering they were baby sitting my oldest over most of the weekend! Should get some photos of it parked next to my brothers Probox next week...

Custy picked up their GT86 this afternoon. I was quite surprised to see how low the TRD kit ends up sitting even with stock suspension.

Another white one with the TRD kit, still looks stunning in person

Stole our demo last night and clocked up about 140-150km too

Definately could get use to driving one every day (dreams are free though)

Wooo I have a twin in Palmy now!

by **1I1** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 5:23 pm

Yip, this has the TRD muffler too. Really nice exhaust note - has a nice burbble on over run and isn't intrusive at all with the actual noise level.

Here's my Welly based one

Yep, mainly in the slow group as pretty much a track novice. Was a lot of fun though. Wife had a turn too and did well for her first time ever on a track.

Next time I might have the balls to actually take the traction control off!

Thought there can't be many red ones! Its funny seeing yours parked there because I had a bright red AE86 a few years ago and last time I took it to Manfeild it was parked in the same spot.

Car looks great in the flesh!

Saw my first one in real-life yesterday. Was silver and was parked up in Katikati (near Tauranga). Appeared to be standard (no front lip etc) but looked great
