So happy to be back!


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

After disappearing for almost a year, i've returned. And glad to have done so!!

 

Back in November 2012, I blacked out and woke up a day later with this:

It was everything I wanted in a car and really lived up to the hype. Was about to drive off into the sunset when... CRUNCH!

Make of it what you will. I'm not here to troll/insult/slam anybody, but the main problem I had was with Toyota FS who were generally dismissive about the issue. To all those whom are considering - you've been warned.

 

After being left broke and dis-heartened, I couldnt help but significantly miss my JDM Zed, and regret selling it. It's not just the car, this is the best forum i've joined and have very fond memories for the following:

So, I saved up my pennies and came across this:

A fantastically maintained example - after a 100 mile drive back, all i can say is... Allan, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

The more I drove, the more I fell in love lol! I reckon i've bought the nicest '04 model out there.

Allan is a great bloke, a great character and he's done a fantastic job with looking after this car - Allan even put on brand new DS2500 rears this morning! Very best of luck with your GTR, Sir :)

 

Please see pics that i've nicked from Allan,

Thanks all, for the warm welcome :)

 

Welcome! Love the GT86 myself....but the gearbox issue sounds very similar to my old Celica T Sport which was a nightmare changing from 2nd to 3rd at high RPM.

Sorry to hear that. I wasn't prepared to accept an issue like that on a brand new car that I ran-in myself. Besides, more powerful models will, no doubt, be released soon. Which is really going to hack of the 1st gen ownership.

 

More to the point ;) ...
