There's noting wrong with having a preference, and while you mention it "had a lot to do with the manual being so close" The article's description frames it as a fractional difference: " partly aided by favorable 40-degree morning temperatures." I wouldn't consider that saying it had a lot to...

How so? Nearly all of the bench marked times have been 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. These are obviously going to favor a close ratio multiple geared box, like the 8 speed. My point is, and this article below is a great example of a primary source, is that once you are on track, you aren't going to...

I wouldn't be so quick to discount it. Most comparisons have been in 1/4 mile or 0-60 sprints, which undoubtedly will favor the ZF 8 speed with its shorter gearing. However, on an actual track setup, when up shifting and downshifting are much more spread apart, the automatic's advantage begins...

I wasn't expecting a luxurious buying experience, but it just seemed like she couldn't be bothered, and didn't own up to her gigantic mistake of telling me I was first in line and confirming it only to change it, only for me to end up with the car later because someone backed out. Just a...

I hope you all had a better experience with your "Sales Guy" than I did. I put in a request to be contacted initially, and the Business supervisor got back to me, not a sales person. She was great to deal with. When it came time to put down my deposit, that is when I met my "Sales Person."...

Genuinely not being sarcastic, but reading them, they seem to apply only to FS posts, not a WTB. Am I missing something? Again, not trying to be sarcastic, I'm literally asking if I'm missing the rules for WTB posts, in case I need to put one up myself one day.

Wiring wouldn't be effected whatsoever, it's literally just designing a cap that replaces the factory push button start cap that fits into the ignition switch and has the proper font/color/graphic.

Definitely a good resource to see how removal/install goes, but based on the way that button looks, I don't think there's a GR branded replacement that fits, I'd have to have it printed, but I have no idea how to add the font/coloring/logo. Edit: The only GR logo buttons I can find are on...

I really want to replace the factory engine start/stop button with a GR logo one, but I can't seem to find an aftermarket option, surprisingly. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to make one of these covers? Edit: 3D printing one wouldn't be an issue, but the real problem is applying...

I took delivery of it in February, so its been off the boat for quite some time. Do you think you might be able to still dig up some information though? I'll PM you the Vin if so. I appreciate it!

I wouldn't mindl I've used the toyota tracker already though, and its long since stopped providing information about my car. Do you have another way to go about it?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to build a complete "story" of how my car got to me so to speak. I took delivery at the beginning of February, but I can't seem to find any way to look up what vessel it was on, when it was made, etc. The toyota tracker website long stopped working (it didnt' even show...

My issue was I bought the car without having driven one. I didn't have a choice because there wasn't a shot in hell of finding a manual transmission one sitting on the lot without a markup that a dealer would let me just take out. So I had to take a 'leap of faith' so to speak, and bought the...

My reaction precisely. I don't dislike it, but I don't know how to feel otherwise, it's a yes/no for me, but I wouldn't do it. If OP likes it then that's all that matters I suppose.

I've tried to keep my responses in this thread based on logic rather than pure emotion, but either way I think the end goal of this thread is that for those that are truly unsure of which model to go with, objectively looking at what you are wanting in the car and going from there is probably...

I wouldn't go so far to use the word "every" in your post, personally. I think that may be a bit overzealous. For the life of me though I can't remember where I read it, but it did perform better than people were expecting. In my previous post I didn't say that it was faster than the ZF 8 speed...

I can't seem to find the source, but I remember reading an article in the past few months that the manual cars actually performed better than they were forecasted to in comparison to the 8 speed counterparts. Not saying they performed better, but better than they were expecting them to. Either...

Yeah, that's likely what it is if I had to guess, I can't imagine the car would leave itself unlocked if it sensed it was off and the driver walked away. I figured it would lock eventually. But regardless, I'm just going to leave the key in the car. I also completely forgot I can unlock it...

Tbh I actually think the GR86 is a great looking car for the price. Had there been a complete, quality turbo kit for one, I might have opted for one instead. But back to my original point, do what makes you happy, but as others have said, you are going to run into issues with repairs...

Do you have the ability to put my vin in by any chance and see what comes up when you search it? I'm just curious, building a scrapbook of sorts of my cars journey, and I think that would be really cool to add to it.
