ellis Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think it's a car with potential. The looks aren't 100% for me but, with a few subtle styling mods (and, of course, a cracking set of alloys), this car could grow on me. Needs a 2.5 turbocharged engine in there though, minimum. Anything heavier though would probably really compromise the weight distribution and subsequently the handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The GTR moved the game on in terms of performance, , interior design, technology, handling, styling (although not to everyones taste). The GT86 is certainly not about outright performance - has it however moved the game on in any other respect? To me it seems like a Hyndai Coupe..

mplavery Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Great wrote up on the GT86, as you said it was never going to be something you would want to trade your Supra for but it seems a nice little sports car... Maybe after a year they will stick the 2.5 Subaru engine in there if they sell well Great pic of your Supra outside the Toyota dealership! I will have to do that some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Love the look of your supra Ellis what colour is that? A good write up of the GT86 aswell sounds like it a good replacement for the much loved AE86!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 EJ25 with a VF22 turbo and the gearing of an Impreza RA - Could be a pretty mental little machine! Ellis, you're cousin has the same wheels as you now! It's not cool. So now you have no option but to swap with me!! And E46 M3's are slow. The Supra should absolutely demolish it. My E36 M3 Evo kills them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 And E46 M3's are slow. The Supra should absolutely demolish it. My E36 M3 Evo kills them! My 100% stock Supra TT6 couldn't pull away from my mates stock e46 M3. I now own both, and while I prefer my Supra, speedwise there's nothing between them. I would say the supra feels quicker, less sound proofing, more road noise etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I did ask Fonze for a race before he sold his Supra, but never got round to it. I've upset 4 E46 M3's so far. 1 rag top and 3 hard tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I've never been in an e36 m3 evo, they're going silly cheap these days, and from your reviews they're an even bigger bargain than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Mine's been for sale for months. Apparently nobody wants a 4 door. So it's going to the body shop on tuesday and getting minted, then will readvertise it. But it's an awesome bit of kit, comfy, stupidly fast and a little bit of a street sleeper.

Havard Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Lovely Supe as usual Ellis. Spent a lot of time near yours on the Dragonball. It's so low you could fit it under my skirts..!! The GT86 is growing on me, if they make a beefier engine in the future I may be tempted to have a dabble. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I saw a GT86 at my local toyota in gilesgate, Durham, it looked awesome it had a big twin exit exhaust, flared arches (didnt look like the stock ones) and big wheels, it still had the white transport sticky cover on the bonnet and roof, il go down tomorow after work and get a picture of it, it looked very good.
