MrH's BRZ Thread

[Laconian]

After all that carspin hype about the Tobaru I finally testdrove one yesterday. Had lots of fun. I am going to write a review and post some pics as soon as I have some time. Prepare for some surprising stuff... 

A German praising a Japanese car, without resorting to a 48-point font or a smiley? Cannot believe.

well, actually there was one big thing about that car, I didn't like. But maybe this had something to do with its giant wing on the trunk... I hope. Aside from this thing, I really enjoyed driving it a lot!

God damn, the first GT86 I've actually wanted:

I do not like.

[Cookie Monster]

BTW that car is all TRD.

[CALL_911]

Are those '80s Maxima wheels?

[CJ]

I think they might be Cressida wheels?

[CALL_911]

It's okay, I guess. Not my cup of tea.

[Cookie Monster]

Nope, those are TRD wheels.

[Cookie Monster]

They are retro versions of TRD Toscos:

[Onslaught]

Those look like a pain to keep clean.

No, I put those on the Swift.

[Speed_Racer]

Lol they pulled the A-pillar vents and put another pair of wings in its place

Didn't even notice that


That TRD thing is hideous.  The only thing I actually like about it is the exhaust.  Something about two, dual exhaust tips on each side looks good to me.  Too bad you have to get such a ridiculous bumper to fit them.  If they just had a new lower that looked like the stock one, but with cut outs for the shape of that exhaust, I'd seriously consider it.

God damn, the first GT86 I've actually wanted:

1.  Way to take a nice looking car and make it hideous.
2.  Don't give Mike any ideas.

[Cookie Monster]

I knew you guys wouldn't like it.

Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

I think it looks good with properly sized street tires. The wheels look heavy, though. I also like the extra wings and the totally 80s cool louvers over the rear window.
I bet grabbing a set of wheels like that would be great for mounting a set of winter tires.

Well, I guess it was just a matter of time until someone brought back 80s styling to go with the turbo 4 banger craze...

Bookmarked for reading this weekend.  Thanks.

Now these...these are wheels!

[Eye of the Tiger]

Meh. I like the 80's looking ones.

[Cookie Monster]

Meh. I like the 80's looking ones.

Those rims are awesome. I also like the taillights, exhaust and Toyota badging. I do not, however, like the tints.

[68_427]

Not a fan of the white car

[Raza]

Saw a BRZ this morning on the way to work.  Driven by a middle aged woman with a Rachel Maddow haircut.  I don't think it was Rachel Maddow though.

WHUT is that?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

Besides the hottest thing I've ever seen.....

[MX793]

They should make the 'vert a 2-seater (like the Audi TT roadster).

[Rupert]

Looks like a Celica like that.

[Cookie Monster]

I don't like it but it is a shitty low quality picture.
