Welcome...I don't live in Australia but my real name is Melbourne.

Cal · 12-15-2009, 12:32 PM

I didn't know Melbourne was an Australian name.

It's English in origin. But it's the second largest city in Australia so that is generally what people think of when they hear my name.

Im an Aussie, i have owned a 2000 WRX and 2004 WRX, but now have a R32 GTR, and my other car is a 1975 TA27 Celica that is yet to be complied and registered. Im planning on keeping the GTR until the FT-86 is released

cheers,
Shaun, 22, Victoria, Australia

ra23celica · 03-10-2010, 03:56 PM

Nice roll call of cars Shaun, well done. I don't think the FT-86 is going to be as quick as the R32 when you change over... :-)

trex · 03-11-2010, 05:57 AM

I bet it wont be as quick either, 330kw at the wheels is not easy for a Subaru engine. But unless you like a car that rattles, squeaks and needs every rubber bush and coolant hose replaced (over 30 in the GTR's!) the FT-86 would still be enjoyable.

On another note i have a nice closed deck Subaru motor just waiting for some 2.5 sleeves. I have a pair of heads that have been machined for 1mm oversized valves. I bet the FT-86 would get up and go with that in it!

ra23celica · 03-11-2010, 03:57 PM

My car is 34 years old and suffers the same problems - labour of love, still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.
That combo of bits sounds perfect for an FT-86, looks like an aftermarket of hot gear and good ideas is starting to build up for it already.

benhachi · 06-17-2010, 07:53 PM

hey guys my names ben, im from the gold coast.
ive had an ae86 before with a bigport 4age in it. put a smile on my face 100% of the time i drove it. also had a handfull of suzuki's including 2 suzuki sierra ute's, a swift gti and a baleno.
anyone know when we can pre-order the ft? pretty sure if it comes out in panda ill get that.

ra23celica · 06-29-2010, 02:39 AM

Welcome Ben. The car might be known as the FR-S by the time it comes to Australia. Hassle your local Toyota dealer for info on its release and see what they say. Hopefuly they will be polite!

itsthedriver · 07-18-2011, 08:59 AM

itsthedriver · 07-19-2011, 02:21 PM

It started in Europe. I remember hearing my first Hardstyle song when I was about 18 - back in 2003.....It went crazy for a few years, but now it's really mainstream, like there's kids 13-14yo around my area that shuffle.....Super gay!!! I just listen to the tracks from back in the day and shuffle around my house.....No more clubs, plus the music these days - compared to back in 05-06 that's played is shit IMO. I love it real hard and it just isn't anymore.....

ej25ti · 07-19-2011, 08:42 PM

yea i stopped shuffling last year, the whole scene kinda died

Cal · 07-19-2011, 09:48 PM

Toyoriffic · 07-20-2011, 01:19 AM

What kind of hip-hop and hard rock are you into? I don't think badly of you, I can't dance at at all.

itsthedriver · 07-21-2011, 04:29 AM

I like most hip-hop from old school e.i: Outkast, snoop, pac to new lil john, t-pain, lil wayne etc...

Hard rock I like a bit of everything again, old school like Led Zepplin, Def Leppard etc to new stuff like Illnino and a bit of bullet for my valentine.....

ej25ti · 07-21-2011, 09:22 AM

See, there really is nothing more to talk about except for the tid bits of info we get until we probably see the production model at the Tokya Auto Show... sigh
