Thread: Toyota FT-86 / Subaru BRZ: Japanese (not Siamese) Twins

I hear yah but these newer cars can be finicky.

I want to get this car I sugested put on an exhaust, filter, turn up the boost and a larger intercooler and see at 350-400 WHP like and EVO or STI.

if it runs 11.6-12.0 when I am done I will be happy.

Let us not forget that Toyota and Subaru have both openly stated that the ECU will be open and unlocked so that tuning potential is up to the owner/shop/tuner/etc. Also note that they built the car with the fewest amount of electronics required. According to Tada, most of the bells and whistles on today's cars were omitted on the FT-86, at least. I'm sure Subaru can second those comments.

Another of the huge reasons why this car is full of win
Won't be long before these things are putting out big numbers and shouldn't be at all finicky if it is what they say it is as far as the electronics go.

3sgte is way better than a Subaru engine, why they didn't use that old motor or another toyota turbocharged engine is very strange.

Or a new kind of 4age 20 valves, that engine is fucking amazing, i know i had a corolla with a 4age 20v swap, very fast and high reving.

2013 Toyota 86 First Drive



numbers posted in the link don't impress me. Not feeling the starting price of $25k either. With so many numbers being thrown around the internet guess all we can really do is wait and see.

I heard 2600lbs

But i much prefer getting an old 240sx and put an rb25det in it, instead of a car like that. But i like the Toyota 86, sounds like a good light car.

A Porsche 911 (996 generation) seems to meet your criteria perfectly. How small is that one person?

Just do your research, some of the early 996's had some serious engine issues. I was -> <- that close to picking up a 2000 996 with 9,000 miles on it a couple months ago, until I researched it a little more online.

Could go one generation older (air cooled) and meet the criteria even better.
