Hey all!

I've been rummaging around here for a while now but decided to finally join up. Like most, I'm very excited to get into a 22 GR86. Currently am driving a 19 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro but need something a little more fun to drive, especially to run through the gears haha. Looking forward to having a good time here!

Welcome to the forum @JustATallDude

Are you keeping the TRD Pro?

Is that it in your profile? I freaking love those things!!!

 

[JustATallDude]

Thanks! and yes that's it! It's not going anywhere. Need a winter car up here haha plan is to lease the GR86 and potentially import my dream car when it's up. Evo 5 or 6. We'll see how things go tho, maybe I'll fall in love with the 86 and buy it out

Welcome @JustATallDude.
Will the GR 86 be your first sports car or have you owned others in the past?

 

[JustATallDude]

Thanks! It will be my first. I've driven a couple of auto current gens but never owned one myself. Unless you count a CVT FWD Lancer lol

Nice.
Do you see yourself modifying it? Especially now after we've seen some tuning concepts?

I think the only thing I can really see is putting in an intake and an exhaust. Unless I do change my mind and decide to keep it then who knows. The 4Runner was going to be the same sorta deal and I'm waiting on the supercharger so you know how that goes

That's a good start. The new generation 86 and BRZ already seems like a big step up from the outgoing one, so at least there's still a lot to experience. How long do you plan to own one for?

So I'm hoping to lease it for 2 or 3 years. My dream car is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5 or 6 and that will be eligible for import right about the time the lease will be over. I like having a car that is unique so we'll see how many new 86s there are around my area lol that's the biggest reason I wouldn't get a current generation. There are too many of them.
